"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked, confused. Did I have something on my face or what? Weirdo. "You..." He trailed off, without finishing his sentence. Which honestly made me even more annoyed. Why start a sentence if you're not even gonna finish it? "I...what, Damien?" I scoffed. The next thing I knew, Damien stood up. I looked at him, trying to figure out what he's doing. He then walked over to me, put his palms on his knees and leaned down to look at me while I remained on the floor waiting. Until he suddenly grabbed my face and kissed me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kieran and Damien never really liked each other, but ever since Damien tried to make a move on his sister at a party last year, Kieran disliked him deeply. It wasn't because he didn't want his sister to have a boyfriend, no, it was because it was him. Damien always rubbed him the wrong way. He was a player. Never wanted a relationship, only sex. His little sister deserved better. Whenever he saw him, he got this weird feeling in the stomach he couldn't explain. It was uncomfortable. But what happens after Damien and Kieran end up being at a party, playing 'seven minutes in heaven', and they get chosen to go in the closet for seven minutes? 03/28/24 #1 in #gayawakening 06/23/24 #10 in #bxb
