-~- (Kyle's POV)

"Sean, Arthur?" I hesitate, playing with my silver necklace. My two friends looks confused in Sean's doorway. "Yea?" Arthur slowly asked. Of course they were curious. Of course they wanted to know why I showed up unannounced at 8 by Sean's house knowing Arthur would be there. I take a deep breath. I can do this.

"Can we uh, talk?" I look away to avoid eye contact. I was so nervous. This was so important to me. I was truly in love... with another guy? It's not bad, but it is. How do I even put it into words?

"Sure, do you want to come in?" Sean stepped aside. I agreed and went inside following my two friends into Sean's living room.

I know they're not homophobic. There's nothing wrong with me, a guy, liking a guy. If they're against it, which they're definitely not, I'll be gone in 17 days anyway, so does it really matter? But they're my friends.

So many people are against it. Countless countries where same sex marriage is illegal and some where you can even get punished for relationships with the same sex. Why would they do that? It's ridiculous!

I'm not living there though, why do I care?Wait, no, why should I not care? They're my people! Are they? I'm gay? I knew that already, it's still way too strange for me.

"Well? What's up?" Arthur asks me worried. I raise my eyebrows, noticing I've been pouting. "What do you want to talk about?" Sean adds.

"I- uh. Yeah." I laugh awkwardly. Sean and Arthur look at each other and then back to me again. As if they knew what I was going to say.

They stayed silent for me to begin speaking my heart out. I was frozen, unsure of what to do or say. It was terrifying.

"Are you in love with Stan?" Arthur crosses his arms as he asks with a raised eyebrow. Sean nods along. My jaw drops, all my fears being replaced with surprise. "What?! How do you know?" I blurt out.

"Who doesn't?" My friends laugh together as I still stare baffled at them. I was relieved seeing their accepting faces. What did I expect anyway? I let myself fall down on the couch covering my face. Arthur and Sean hovered over me.

"Nice dude, finally you figured it out for yourself. How does it feel?" Sean comfortingly said patting my shoulder. "Crazy." I muttered, not looking up at them.

"Fair." Arthur giggled. I finally got over my last fears and shock and chuckled along. "Oh it's so stupid! This guy is literally perfect! He doesn't leave my mind at all!" I reveal my face again, tinted pink.

"It's so funny seeing you all giddy over your crush. I thought I'd never see it." Arthur points out.

I fell silent.

What exactly did he mean? I had crushes on girls before... did I? I thought I did but looking back that was just admiration that I tried to force into a crush. I unconsciously was very sensitive to the subject knowing I never felt love towards another like that before.

I know that, however, he knew that too? Could he see that my past crushes were all some odd lie? "Really? How about Robyn or.. or Gia?" I wondered. Arthur's eyes widened with regret, as if I wasn't supposed to ask that.

"I uh... no, it was obvious you didn't actually like them. With Robyn I didn't know yet because I haven't felt love by then, but when I finally did I knew that your crush was strange." He confesses, looking away from me. I turn to Sean thinking he'd be surprised too. Nonetheless he looked just as guilty as Arthur did.

"You always knew?" I inquire. "I never knew how to tell you, I didn't think you'd be gay." Arthur turns back to me looking me straight in the eye. Suddenly I felt mad. Why did they never tell me? I could have figured things out so much sooner!
