I Love You Keith

Dad!

James POV

Don't worry Kitten. I'll see you again soon.

We left the Garrison in silence. Then y dad said something "So, James. Who was that?" I felt my face flush pink. My parents knew that I was gay, but I normally didn't talk to them about the boy I liked. "Dad, stop." "Aww come on son. You obviously already miss him. You can talk to me you know." I sighed and nodded. "His name is Keith." Dad smiled "Keith, huh? And what do you like about him?" that was enough to send me rambling "Everything. Little things, big things. It's made being his roommate sooo hard!" My dad's eyebrows went up "He's your roommate? Oh wow, that's tough son." I nodded "And he's also one of my best friends. But when I look at him or talk to him..I just..UGHH!" I out my hands over my heated face "I just want to kiss him. But at the same time, I don't want to risk ruining our friendship." My dad smiled "I know the feeling. I was the same way with your mother. We were friends fora long time before I finally asked her out. But, then I found the love of my life. You know, we weren't that much older than you when we met." I dropped my hands and my eyes went wide "DAD! I'm not thinking of marrying him!" "Yet." I sighed "This is why I don't tell you guys this stuff!" my dad laughed at my reaction "Sorry. But what do you like about this boy. What's he look like? How's his personality?" 

I sighed and leaned back in my seat. These were questions I could answer with ease. I could feel myself start to smile "He had the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen. They're violet, and look kinda like stormy skies when he mad or annoyed, which doesn't happen often. But when he's happy, they light up and shine a bit, and they look like stars in a galaxy...." I sighed, remembering those eyes. I looked over at my dad, who was smiling "What? He does." he shook his head "No,it's not that. But it sounds like you're in love with him." I nodded "I think I am. I mean, it's been two years, and I still feel the same way." "Hmm. Tell me more about him."I nodded "He has kinda long hair, like a mullet, but a little shorter. He's a little shorter than me, about two, three inches. He has an amazing laugh, and a fucking adorable giggle.' I felt my face heat and I started to smile " When he smiles his whole face light up.  He's shy when you first meet him, but as you get to know him, he opens up more. If you saw him in just a glance, you'd think he emo. But he's not. He just has trust issues. But he got used to me, Kinkade, Veronica, Hunk and Pidge pretty quick. He's smart, and kind. He's just.. amazing."

I looked over at my dad, who had been quiet for a while. He had a smile on his face "What?" "You really do love him, don't you?" I blushed and nodded sheepishly. "That's great James. but I think that it doesn't matter if you love him if you don't tell him. Now, are you going to tell him? " I looked at the floor for a minute, thinking. Them I raised my head 

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna tell him this year."
