"Come on Chres, just go up to him and tell him how you feel!"

" it's not that simple dude, I mean what if he rejects me. That ain't cool !"

Chresanto and Ej where outside of Starbucks bickering about whether he should approach Jacob (who was inside with Rayan) or leave it for another time.

"Nah bro, you dragged me all the way here and now you wanna bail ? That ain't gone happen."

"Bu-"

"But no, get inside."

Chresanto still stood in one space, shifting his weight from one leg to another.

"Why don't you practice on me ?"

At the time Ej thought it was a great idea. Every since his best friend came out he felt 'attracted' to him. He didn't know if it was in that way or if it was just him showing his support. Roc pretending to ask Elijah out worked well for both of the. He will see if there's any sparks between him and Roc and Roc will gain confidence to ask out his crush. If there is anything between them, his best friend would surly choose him right ?

"Erm, I don't know I mean-"

"You want this guy right ?"

Chresanto nodded while blushing and biting his lip.

"Then come on ", Elijah patted his friends shoulder in an encouraging manner," make me swoon." Said Ej in a girly voice as he batted his eyelashes , placed his hand where his heart is and twirled his imaginary long hair.

"Hear go's nothing..."

Roc clears his throat and sighed.

" Jacob, I know I'm probably the last person you wanna see right now. I understand . But before I was in denial, I didn't know my feelings for you. Heck, I didn't even know if I was gay or not ! But now I've realised your just what I need to keep be grounded we could help each other you know ? I just want the whole worked to know I love you, I've come out and everything just for you there won't be any secrets just me and you in love. What do you say, will you be mine ."

Ej's heart fluttered, imagining that his best friend was saying this to him. Elijah wanted to be the one to make Chres feel that way. Just as he was about to make up an excuse for Roc not to ask out Jacob someone behind the clears there throat.

"Chres ? "

Jacobs eyes stung with tears for multiple reasons.
1) He was so happy to see his beloved friend
2)When he finally sees his friend, from what he saw, he was asking out someone else
3) He has a fresh on his friend
4) He was jealous.

"Jay, it's not what it looks like. You see I-"

" I thought you didn't do that gay sh*t" spat Jacob mimicking Chresanto," what's wrong with me huh ? Is he prettier than me Roc, am u too fat ?" Rambled a distraught Jacob while Rayan looked on at the seen awkwardly scratching his neck.
