James

It was 11:00 at night and Oliver was getting ready to leave. They’d had a great time. The first time James had had fun in forever.

“Hey, James?” Oliver took a deep breath,

“Yeah?”

“I- Ikindamaybelikeyou…”

“Pardon?”

Oliver’s breath shook as he looked James in the eyes and said,

“I-I, well, I, um- I kind of have a bit of a crush on you…” to his surprise, Oliver felt relief wash over him at finally admitting his feelings. James felt blood rush to his head. He felt slightly dizzy even.

“Wow… m-me too,” James couldn’t contain his grin, as he looked up at Oliver. Oliver’s blushing gaze met his. Oliver seemed shocked at James’ answer; shocked, but thrilled; elated in fact. And with that, Oliver hurried out the door; both of them needed to process what had just happened.
