Perfect Duet

My Silver Lining in the Night

I made Brendon and I breakfast, well more like lunch considering what time it was. When I finished making the food I brought it out to Brendon and he smiled. We sat and ate, watching the TV. It was some random cartoon that Brendon had put on, but I wasn't going to complain. Brendon randomly leaned over and kissed me when we were both done eating. I kissed back happily, loving how random he was. He pushes me back onto the couch, deepening the kiss. After a while of making out he slides his hand up my shirt. I gently push him away, not wanting to do anything more than kiss.

He smiled softly, letting me know he respected my wish to not want to go further, showing that he wasn't hurt or upset that I didn't want to. I smile and he kisses me softly, before snuggling into my chest. I hold him tightly.
"I'm sorry Bren..."
"What are you sorry for?"
"Not wanting to go past making out" I blush softly.
"No Dally you're ok I promise, you are allowed to say no and have boundaries, and I have to respect that"
I just nod and hold him close. We stay snuggled like this for a while, and for a moment I thought Brendon was asleep, but I nearly have a heart attack when he giggles at the cartoon that's on TV.

I love this man. It's a little bit weird to admit that, but it feels right... I love him. Finally I have a word to describe how I feel about the man that is snuggled into me. Love. I love him and I don't think anything will change that. If that makes me gay then I am the gayest man alive because I love Brendon more than anything. It's weird though, I've never really felt like this towards another human.

Ok yes I have dated women, but that's it, I've dated women... maybe I just tried to deny that I liked men... I'm not entirely sure why, perhaps it's the Mormon in me, telling me it's a sin, but I don't care, if loving a man makes me a sinner then so be it. In all honesty I don't think I would have been able to teach as well as I do if Brendon wasn't my mentor. Granted it does make life a little easier when I can just look over to him and see him smile, and it just brightens my day.

Yes I have got to say, I am in love with Brendon and I'm honestly ok with that.
