clutches his stomach subtly, a bead of sweat trickling down his brow. "Uh, I need to... get out... without a fuss."
Esthenri
ok are you okay?
nervously looks around, trying to come up with an excuse "I think I ate something bad... maybe it's the flu or something."
Esthenri
oh so it’s not because of me. But do you want me to walk you home?
hesitates for a moment, then nods "Yeah, that would be great. Thanks."
Esthenri
ok come on.
clutches his stomach tighter, breathing heavily "Actually, can we go to the bathroom first? I need to... um... take some medicine."
Esthenri
sure here let me help you up
grabs Esthenri's hand, leaning on them heavily as they make their way to the bathroom "Thanks for this... I really don't want anyone to see me like this."
Esthenri
it’s alright you’re my best friend I’ll do anything for you
rushes into the bathroom, locking the door behind him, and quickly takes a few deep breaths to compose himself "Okay, just breathe...
Esthenri
after getting some air he come out of the bathroom let’s go.
holds onto Esthenri's arm tightly, stumbling slightly "Sorry, I'm just... not feeling too steady on my feet right now."
Esthenri
it’s alright we can take it slow
looks at Esthenri with tired eyes, his voice hushed and filled with vulnerability "I'm really grateful for your help, Esthenri. You're a good friend."
Esthenri
of course holding his waist helping him walk
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts "There's something I've been meaning to tell you, Esthenri... something important."
Esthenri
what is it?
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage "I... I have feelings for you, Esthenri. More than just friendship."
Esthenri
blushing t-roy I always felt the same way
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper "Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to ruin our friendship if you don't feel the same way..."
Esthenri
I promise you won’t ruin anything
gently lifts Esthenri's chin with his finger, looking into their eyes "I've liked you for so long, Esthenri. I can't hide it anymore."
Esthenri
kisses him softly on the lips i like you too…
pulls away from the kiss, a small smile playing on his lips "I've wanted this for so long, Esthenri. To be able to hold you like this, to kiss you...
Esthenri
I’m glad we’re together
wraps his arms around Esthenri, holding them close "Thank you, Esthenri. Thank you for accepting me and my feelings. I never thought this would happen."
Esthenri
Me neither.
leans in closer, nuzzling Esthenri's neck "You have no idea how happy you've made me, Esthenri."
Esthenri
smiling I'm glad to hear that, Troy.
strokes Esthenri's cheek gently "I want to show you just how much you mean to me, Esthenri. Can we go somewhere more private?"
Esthenri
Okay
grabs Esthenri's hand and leads them to a secluded spot "Follow me."
Esthenri
Ok
pauses, his hand still gripping Esthenri's, and takes a deep breath "Esthenri, there's something I need to tell you... something I've kept hidden for so long."
