When He Kisses You...

Never have I ever

I've entered this into IAmHec, Avylin, and TheoryKierei's boyxboy competition but I'm not sure if there's still any spots left so I might now make it in. Oh well, wish me luck anyways!

He's been my best friend for 13 years. We met in kindergarten, we both loved finger painting, something I'm sure our mothers hated. We always came home messy and with another picture to be hung on the fridge. Maybe that's why we loved it, we loved messing around and pissing off our parents. But at the same time, we were doing something creative, something for us.

"Daniel!" I looked up from my locker to see Ty walking towards me. I could feel my smile growing as he got closer.

"What's up man? How was your date last night?" I asked him curiously while shoving my books into my locker. He shrugged and the smile he had disappeared. "Was she that bad?"

"No, I just wasn't interested is all." He looked away for a second deep in thought.

"Well I'll see you later man, you're coming to the party right?" I asked hopefully. I'm not really good around people unless he's with me, if he's there it's like he gives me a confidence boost and I can do anything. I'm not really shy, I just always seem to say the wrong thing. Or I don't say anything and everything just becomes awkward.

He smiled. "As long as you're going, I'll be there."

"Great! See ya later then." I closed my locker and headed to my car. I jumped in and sped off towards the elementary school to pick up my little brother. Stephan is only 6 and I swear he is the cutest kid ever. And he's so sweet it's unreal. I pull up to the school and look for his curly blonde hair and bright pink backpack. I see him and wave till he sees me. A grin lights up his face and he runs towards me. He opens the back and climbs into his booster seat.

"Hi Daniel!" He says happily.

"Hey bud. How was school?"

"We talked about puppies today! And and Kelly's mommy brought in theirs! She was so cute! Can we get a puppy?"

I sighed. Since our mother passed away a year ago, I've been taking care of my brother. My parents divorced after Stephan was born so he never really knew our Dad. It was good that I was 18, old enough to take care of him since our father didn't want us.

"I'll think about it, ok?"

"Yay! Thank you Daniel." He was always such an easy going and happy child.

I turned on the radio and put in Stephan's favorite Veggie Tales CD. I love hearing him sing along, he knows ever word. There's just something so pure and happy about little kids singing. I pulled into the drive way of our little two bedroom apartment. Even though our Dad doesn't want us, he still sends us money every month. Of course it's not enough to live on so I have a job at a little Italian restaurant not to far from the school.

"Sooooo guess where you get to go tonight?" I asked Stephan as we walked through the door.

"Do I get to go to Kelly's?" He asked excitedly. Kelly is Ty's younger sister. Since our mother died Ty's mother always offers a place for Stephan when I work or if I want to get out of the house. And since Kelly is in Stephan's class, it's keeps them both occupied and they've become really good friends.

"Yep! Your going to be spending the night so we need to go get you packed." He took off running towards his room. "And don't forget to bring your toothbrush!" I called after him laughing.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and pulled it out, it was Ty calling.

"Hello?"

"Hey Daniel! You almost ready to go? I can drive if you just want to leave your car at my house when you bring Stephan."
