We’re in Kyle’s mom’s car on our way to youth group. His mom is looking in the rear-view mirror on a regular basis, probably making sure we aren’t gnawing face right in the middle of her car. We each have one earphone of my itouch in, listening to “Bed Intruder Song” by Antoine Dodson and laughing our butts off.

“Here we are, boys! Have fun, you two. But not too much fun, if you catch my drift.” Kyle’s mom says with a wink. Kyle groans in embarrassment as I suppress a chuckle.

“MOM… this is a church for crying out loud! What do you expect us to do? Get the dirty on in a house of God?!? Sheesh.” Kyle says as he closes the door to the car, still bright red. He looks over at me with a pleading look, as though begging me to side with him on this even though she’s already started to drive off.

“Hey, I can’t blame her for checking. With the guy I’ve got, I’d do the dirty anywhere he asked me to.” I say with a simple shrug and a wink. Kyle looks sheepishly at the ground, apparently not getting that I was joking about doing it anywhere. I love him, but doing it in a crowd of homophobes would be just dumb. Eventually he looks back up though, with the usual cheeriness in his eyes.

“Well, let’s get going, then! We need to introduce you to everyone!” Kyle exclaims, jumping up and down adorably. Will I ever get used to his ability to entice me with such simple actions? Probably not… that’s a good thing though.

“HEY KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!” Someone shouts from behind us, making me jump. Kyle simply gets a look of pure joy on his face as he turns around to greet the dude who just about scared the pee out of me.

“DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whaddup dawg?!?!?!?!?” Kyle squeals with a laugh.

“Sooooo are you going to introduce me to your friend or is he going to be left out of the conversation? Or…. Is this…?” David trails off. Kyle simply nods proudly, and David’s eyes go wide with understanding.

“Garrett, this is David Druzynski, the third most awesome person in the universe! David, this is Garrett, my boyfriend and the second most awesome person in the universe!” He says as we shake hands before simultaneously raising an eyebrow.

“Second? Third? Who is the first? Certainly you’re not talking about Kyle... That dude is jank!” I say with a laugh as he makes a pouty face. Awwwww Kyle wants to try that move on me? We’ll just see who wins this!

I quickly pull him into a kiss, tracing my tongue along his bottom lip which he so generously offered. I’m so naughty. Hehehe.

“AWWWWWWWWWWWW THAT IS SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU GUYS EVEN HAVE MATCHING OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” David shouts about three seconds later, making us both pull away and blush awkwardly.

“Oh hush! Do you have to be such a fangirl?” Kyle teases, making David cross his arms and huff in response. I can only burst out laughing. I can already tell me and him are going to get along well.

By now a small crowd has gathered around us to see the newcomer. Wow, Kyle really must be popular here. And again, the “awww’s” and “oooh’s” ensue as well as a bunch handshakes and hugs. Already this church visit is shaping up quite nicely. I can’t help but smile when I glance at Kyle and notice him beaming with pride.

Eventually Kyle makes his way over to Mallory, the Youth Leader for the Church, me in tow.

“Kyle… I’m not by any means mad at you, but I gotta remind you that we have PDA restrictions set up by the authorities that I’m gonna have to ask you to follow. Kapeesh? But don’t worry, you guys can still hold hands. You two are so cutesy wootsie!!! Now let’s circle up and pray everyone!” Mallory says to us then the Youth Group in general. I look over to see Kyle blushing a little, probably from the whole “cutesy wootsie” comment. She is right though, we are an adorable couple. Hehehe…
