“You upset my boyfriend.” Shawn yelled at Max.
Max looked at the two of them up and down before cracking up. He stayed there for a couple of seconds before taking off leaving Shawn and Dave alone together. The atmosphere changed very quickly, the silence between them was now awkward. Dave turned to face Shawn staring deep into his soul repeating in his head what he just heard, ‘my boyfriend.’ Had he heard that right? Shawn could feel his face burning up at the realisation of what he said, not only that but he could feel Dave’s eyes staring at him like laser beams burning into his soul. Shawn turned his embarrassed face making eye contact with the laser beams that were on him. He kept repeating what he called Dave in his mind as he cringed at his own words. His face turned the darkest red it could, he wanted to reverse time right there right now. The tension in the room you could cut with a knife. Both boys kept on staring deep into each other souls. Shawn was overthinking what Dave was thinking and Dave was overthinking what Shawn said.
“Wait so we are labelling this now?” Dave started, “I thought you liked jasmine.”
Both boys were deeply in love with each other but didn’t want to admit it. Dave was in love with sky and Shawn was in love with jasmine, at least that’s what they both thought. Even though Shawn and Dave had kissed one or twice Dave didn’t really think much of it. Neither did Shawn until recently. Both were straight, in love with girls. Right?
“And I… I thought you liked sky.” Shawn said stuttering.
“Yes, well no. I didn’t know you were gay.” Dave replied with.
Shawn liked jasmine before, but now he likes Dave. Is he gay? He didn’t know anything anymore. He was into Dave, that’s the only thing he was sure about right now.
“I’m only gay for you.” Shawn flirted with a wink that made Dave blush. His attempt at flirting was a success. Shawn smiled at this still staring the man he loved before folding his arms trying to look cool.
“Oh… and I’m gay for you too?” a flustered Dave replied.
This kind of took Shawn by surprise because he didn’t think Dave liked him in that way. He just stared at the shorter boy smirking.
Dave continued, “and to answer my own question. I would love to be your boyfriend.”
