                                                  *Seth's POV*

Shit, man. Nobody was supposed to find out about this.  Now Reuben's been pressured into becoming my boyfriend, when we've only just met!  What if he doesn't want to? The more I think about it, the more nauseous I become.  I thought coming out was supposed to make you feel happier? Well, I certainly don't feel any happier than I did before. Now I'm just worried. Maybe if I'd come out as gay when I wanted to, things would've been different... But no, stupid Luke just had to walk in on us, didn't he? Speaking of Luke, I wonder how he's taking all of this... I know he's not too thrilled.  

But still, at least Luke didn't lose his cool. I know he's strongly against homosexuals, but maybe our friendship is more important to him? Moving on to Reuben, he's  walking beside me, his hand hanging loosely at his side. He's made no attempt to hold my hand, and neither have I. It all seems too awkward. We didn't choose this, it just kinda happened. And despite never being in a relationship before, I'm pretty sure that's  not how things are supposed to work. Again, stupid Luke just had to walk in, didn't he?  

We were just having a bit of fun, dammit! Why is it that a guy and a girl can have 'fun' as much as they like, without being pressured into dating one another, but when it  comes to two guys, everyone's like "You two have to date now." It doesn't seem fair.  Deciding to break the awkwardness, the pull Reuben to a stand-still and gradually lean closer towards him, slowly...                                                  

                                             *Reuben's POV*

And then his lips are on mine. I hadn't even noticed him closing in on me until it was too late for me to respond. Pulling away with a playful glint in his eyes, he turns to face the others, whom have all stopped to witness our first kiss as a 'couple'. Seth gives me a small smile, is he reassuring me? Does he think I can't handle this? Well, he is wrong. I am more than capable of dealing with a little bit of attention. I'm Irish, for God's sake. Of course I'm going to get attention, I'm different to these people. When I speak, rather than the stupid Americal drawl that you'd expect to hear flowing from my parted lips,  instead you receive a taste of my homeland. And I wouldn't change that for the world.  

I can feel my cheeks heating up, everyone's eyes are on us. Seth doesn't really appear bothered by it, in the slightest. Does this mean that kissing is meaningless to him? Oh God, what if he's one of those man-whores?! No, Seth doesn't really look like that type of guy, but then again, I have been wrong before...  

Oh, Reuben... Just wait and see where this leads, you worry far too much!  

W-Who said that?!  

You did.  

Shut up! I did not! Damn voices, when I find out who you are...  

Oh please, you can't scare me.  

When I'd finished arguing with... Myself? I looked up to see that everyone else had  moved on. All except for Seth's best friend, that Luke kid. He was visibly glaring at me, scrutinising my every movement, like a bug under a magnifying glass.                                                            

                                              *Luke's POV*

I'd been so distracted by my thoughts and feelings towards Ollie that I hadn't even noticed everyone walk off, leaving me here with Seth's little lover-boy. Just great... His presence caused me to glare at him, as his eyes darted up and met with my own. Two bright green orbs connected with mine. At first, I wanted to break eye contact, his eyes were kinda making me feel off-balance. But, I held myself together and kept my glare as strong as it was to start with.
