       Tim couldn't but smiled. He was in love with his best friend..

----------------------------------------------

      12 year old Jon climbed up the ladder. "Tim! Over here!" He called. Tim went over to him and looked.
     "Are you sure?"
     "Positive! This is the perfect place to build it! I can ask Papa to help!" He smiled as he smiled and nodded, climbing up.
     "It is! Okay! Let's go and ask them!" He jumped off before running home. Jon laughed before going after him.

       Jon woke up to the sound of a knock on the door. He got up and went down, answering it. He heard a familiar chuckle.
     "Tired Jonathan?" Tim said and he blushed lightly.
     "A bit.. Why are you here so early?"
     "I was hoping we could go somewhere." He smiled softly. Jon smiled and nodded before stepping aside to let him in.
     "Sure. Come on in. I'll get ready in a few."
     "Alright." Tim smiled as he came in and Jon closed the door before going back upstairs to his room. Where were they going to go? He shook his head as he changed into some blue jeans and a green shirt and went back downstairs to his best friend. "Ready?" He nodded.
     "Yeah." He smiled and nodded. Tim smiled back before gently taking his hand and walking.

       After a while they stopped in front of a tree with a tree house. Jon looked at it and smiled. It was the same one that he, Tim, and their fathers both help them build.
     "Remember this place?" He asked softly.
     "Yes. It's the same one we built when we were 12.. I can't believe it's still here.."
     "I still come here. I still think about that. About all the time we spent together as kids, teenagers, and young adults. Jon.. There's not a day that goes by that you're not one my mind. You mean a lot to me." Jon smiled as he said that.
     "Tim.. I can say the same thing about you.. You're on my mind everyday, everywhere I go.. All those days we spent, I cherish those in my heart. I cherish you."

       Tim teared up as Jon said those words and he looked at him. Blue eyes looking into forest green ones. Should he confess? What if he didn't return them..? What if it wasn't possible..? Just as he was about to look away, he felt something covering his lips. His eyes widened as he saw that Jon had kissed him. He wasted no time in returning the kiss, wrapping his arms around his neck as he closed his eyes.

       Jon smiled as he felt Tim return his kiss as he wrapped his arms around his waist. He loved him. And he didn't care what people would say about them. Nothing would stop him from loving Tim.
