This one's for you 80s_nerd

It's my birthday today. And of course my parents forgot. Honestly they probably remember and just don't care. Ever since Denny died they stopped caring about everything. So today kinda sucks. I'll probably just go to the tree house and hang out with Chris. Me and Chris have been hanging out more often because Teddy and Vern stopped coming around. So now it's just the two of us. It's sad that we don't hang out anymore but I like being alone with Chris. To be honest I may have a minuscule sized crush on him. Sometimes it feels wrong to hang out with him cause I know I shouldn't have those kinds of feelings for my best friend but I can't help it. He has this cute smile that lights up a room and he always makes sure I'm feeling happy and he shows his feelings and it's all just too much for me to not like him.

But all of that is besides the point. Right now I'm on my way to the tree house. As I round the corner of the block I see Eyeball and he is not what I want to deal with on my birthday so I wait in the alleyway until he passes. After he passes I continue on to the tree house.

When I get to the treehouse I climb up the ladder to see Chris sitting in a chair with a poorly wrapped present on the table. "Hey Chris, you didn't have to get me anything."

"Well I wouldn't get too excited for it if I were you it's nothing too grand, but I would feel bad if I didn't get you anything."

"Dude, you could literally get me a rock and I'd love it."

"Well it's a little better than a rock so I guess you'll like it."

"Can I open it now?"

"Go ahead."

I tear open the paper to see a little collage in a picture frame with pictures of me and Chris. "Chris this is beautiful! How could you ever say this is a bad present?"

"I don't know it's just not that cool. I thought it might be kinda weird." His face flushed as he said that. That's weird. Chris isn't the kind of person to blush.

"Hey, you ok? Your face just got really hot. I mean not like good looking I mean you do look good but I mean like your face got really flushed. Not that I was staring but your face is really red now." Now it was my turn it go red. I didn't mean to ramble but he looked so cute flushed and I couldn't stop talking. I look up at him and his face was even more flushed.

"Hey Gordie, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah man"

"Why the fuck would you ever be friends with me? I mean you're amazing. You're so smart and creative. I mean you're parents are idiots if they don't realize how special you are. And here I am and I've got nothing good to give to the world."

"Dude are you kidding me? You're the kindest person I've ever met and you're always trying to see the best in people. When literally everyone left me you were still there to lend me a shoulder to cry on. When Denny died I thought that there was no one who really cared about me left in the world but you proved my thoughts wrong. Thank you for being here through everything man. I love you." I didn't mean to say that last part out loud. Chris's eyes widened at that last part. Let's just hope he takes it in a platonic way.

"I love you too man."

I honestly can't take it anymore. It's now or never. He just looks too cute. I lean closer to him but hesitate a few inches away. My eyes trail down to his lips and I make eye contact again. He's the one who closes the gap between us. His lips are chapped but I don't care. It feels perfect. Our lips lock perfectly. We break apart and I keep my face close and look into his eyes. We both have huge grins on our faces and he brings his lips back to mine. After we break apart again he launches himself onto me and gives me a big hug.

"Happy birthday LaChance."
