(Eric's Point of View)

It's like asking out a girl for the first time, only worse! I'm hesitating, yet he looks so eager for me to say what I want to. Obviously after that kiss, he has definately found out how I feel for him, so why can't I just tell him?
"Can—can you help me out a bit with my human bio project?" I blurted. Not what I wanted to say, but I kinda did need help with it… Asher looked incredibly bummed out, and the red in his face began faiding.
"Oh, yes, of course…" he squeeked. Obviously, he wasn't expecting me to say that. After a moment of silence, he mumbled, "You lingered…"
"I wanted more," I mistakenly replied. Damn habit of blurting out my thoughts… One day it's going to be the end for me, like perhaps today. He looked mortified as he looked up to me, indigo eyes wide open and almost water-y. His mouth was slightly opened and trembling, as though he wanted to say something but couldn't spit it out. Losing it, he gripped onto my shirt and burried his face in it.
What do I do, WHAT DO I DO?? Oh God, that reaction was positively adorable!! I don't even--!! Impulsively, I hugged him.
"Dmnhmns…Mmnmmlkoo…" his speech was muffled.
"What was that?" I asked. He only burried his head more.
"Ffnkgglkoo…"
Still not understanding, and embarassingly acting upon impulse, I whispered into his ear, "You know…You're the first guy I've ever had feelings for…" Oh shit… Yes, I meant that, but I didn't mean to say it! Ahh geez, this couldn't get any more embarassing!!

(Asher's Point of View)

I'm not dreaming, right?? This is really happening? Can I take it as an awkward love confession? Well, I'm probably the one being awkward here, though I can practically feel Eric's rushing heart beat. How do I respond to what he just admitted?? I looked up, only to notice him stairing at me, goofy smile and all. "Wh—what?"
"Nothing… you're just… so red in the face… I've never seen anyone blush that much before."
I yanked myself away, attempting to control myself. Stubbornly, I looked away and crossed my arms.
"It's cute," he added. How can he say things like that?!
"You're cruel…" I replied.
"Why do you say that?"
"You're teasing me…" He's definitely straighter than a ruler, he has to be!
Frowning, he said, "I'm not trying to…"
"How can you be so calm doing this sort of thing?" At the very least, he's probably just currious. I turned to leave, but he caught my arm gently.
"I'm not. I'm practically going insane inside my head. I've never liked a guy before, and I don't know wheather this is just a phase or hormones or what. But I really do like you." I glanced at his face, which practically shone red. He sincerly looked embarrassed and confused. Normally, I'd never date someone still unsure of their sexuality, but even I was there once. I understand the confusion, the weird, new feelings.
"I—I need time to think…" I said, avoiding eye contact. Actually, I don't need the time. If he asked properly, I would have said yes in a heartbeat, much to my own dismay. I really want him to think it through, make sure it's what he wants too…
"Um, Ok… But I didn't ask you anything, I just told you how I felt…"
"Doesn't that mean you want to go out or something?"
"Usually it would, but going out with a guy…" Aw heeell no. He did NOT just say that after admiting liking a guy.
"How can you say you like a guy like that, but don't want to date him? If you're not serious, I don't want to bother with you!"
Stunned and a bit startled at my remark, he replied, "I didn't finish. I was going to say, 'going out with a guy might be a little weird at first, but for you I'll make an acception. That is, if you want to go out with me'…" I am such an idiot…

(Eric's Point of View)

Stunned. His reaction really was just… oh man… All the blood in his body must've rushed upto his face at that moment. Maybe being so (accidentally) straight-forward was a good thing!… even though that's how previous relationships of mine had crumbled…
Asher began to hold onto his own sholders and make all of these cute, undescribable noises as he looked to the ground attempting to avoid all eye contact. Subconchesly, my hands reached out for him, once more hoping to embrace. My mind caught me a second before I touched him, and caused me to look around. The area he had pulled us into was very secluded. Re-assuring myself that no one else would see, I wrapped my arms around his skinny body, burring my face into his soft blonde hair.
"Do you?" I asked.
"D—do you what?" he questioned.
"You know… Want to… go out with me?"
"You…you're such!!" he sighed. "You're an idiot, you know that?" Almost reluctantly, he hugged me back, once again burrowing his face in my chest. I only prayed he didn't feel my pounding heart. "Yes…" he said finally.

Relieved, I held him tighter. My smile couldn't have been wider at that moment. Over and over I thanked him for his answer. So many emotions swelled in my heart. Happiness, joy, cheer, pride… fear. What would my friends say if they found out I was dating a guy? What about my mom?? Or worse, my sister!? Even though society doesn't look down on homos as much as before, it wouldn't accept our relationship. I'll…I'll try…I'll try to make sure that my pride of my image doesn't affect our relationship. Please don't get mad if it does, though. It takes a while to change when you've been following society's rules for 18 years.
