A Leap of Faith (boyxboy)

Chapter 2

Blake's POV

A wise man once told me, "A secret will weigh on you until it feels like it has become the weight of the world on your shoulders."

But some secrets you just cannot tell anyone, like the fact that I cannot stand the idea of dating a girl, just the thought of it makes me sick. For as long as I can remember I could never imagine myself with a person of the female gender, my friends would run around talking about how hot one girl is, they'd trade nudes that girls would send them and talk about how they'd hope to get in bed with one of them.

I was roped into their schemes of course, we were friends after all, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. I was constantly disgusted by the way they talked about these girls, and by the girls themselves, sending pictures of your parts is one of the dumbest things ever.

I got up from my comfortable bed and went to the kitchen to make myself some food, my mom wasn't home much so I took it upon myself to take care of myself, while I waited for the spaghetti noodles to boil I got lost in thought once again. This time, however my thoughts drifted the a certain boy I had my eyes on. He was exquisite, his soft bouncy curls that I would love to run my hands through, his Amber colored eyes that I could stare at all day, his lightly tanned skin, and his plump lips that look like they're softer than a cloud, how I would love to just put my lips against his, Ian Kyre, he's what I want.

The sound of a sizzle of the boiling water touching the stove snaps me out of my thoughts, "Great, You're drooling over a straight boy." I look down and realize I had a problem in my Batman underwear(don't judge me, Batman is awesome), "Even better, you got hard while thinking about him." I say aloud once again.

I finish making dinner and put the leftovers in the fridge for my mom when she gets home from work, she doesn't have much time to herself so it's the least I could do for her. I took my food up to my room and flipped on the TV so I can watch Batman. I love Batman, he's so cool, and he's rich, I'm convinced that he's Robin's sugar daddy.

I lose track of time thinking about Ian and drooling over Robin, I hear the front door open and I check the time.

8:34 pm

She's home a little early, my mom has been raising me alone my entire life, she's tried her hardest and worked her butt off to give me the best life possible and I love her for that. Even so, I can't bring myself to come out to her. It's not fear of her not accepting me, it's because I don't want to give her another thing on her plate, it breaks my heart to see her come home tired after a long day of work and I don't want her to worry about homophobes coming after me.

"Blake, honey I'm home!" She calls.

I put on some basketball shorts and a white tee then run out of my room and embrace her, her frail figure wraps her arms around me.

"Hey mom." I say kissing her cheek, "How was work? You're home early."

"Stacy volunteered to cover my shift for me, so I figured I'd come home and spend time with my favorite boy" She smiles at me.

"Well after you eat some of the spaghetti I made you, we can watch a movie." I tell her as I walk into the kitchen and pull the leftover spaghetti out of the fridge. "I'll get your food ready for you, go find a movie for us."

"Okay I will, thank you for being so helpful sweetie." Mom says, as she ruffles my hair, she then goes into the living room and turns on Netflix.

I warm up her leftovers and put them on a plate. "Can I make some popcorn mom?"

"Sure honey, hurry so we can watch." Mom says excitedly, it's amazing that she can still have all this energy and love even though she works herself to death every day. No doubt, my mother is the strongest person that I know.

Soft curls, brown eyes, and plump lips find their way into my mind as I make the popcorn, I wish he could be here with me while we cuddled on the couch sharing popcorn and watching a movie. I wish... I wish so so bad that he felt the way that I do, but past experiences have taught me to never get your hopes up on a straight guy, and to never, ever make a move on a straight guy.

The beeping of the microwave pulls me out of my thoughts, I pull the bag of popped-buttery deliciousness out of the microwave, hand my mom her plate of food, and settle myself next to her as we snuggle up together with a blanket.

I roll my eyes as I see what movie she picked, "Really Mom, 'Coco'?"

"You're growing up so fast, and I don't get to watch sweet kids movies with you much anymore." She pouts. My mom, I love her so much. "I'm not old enough to have a sophomore in high school, I don't look a day over 30!"

It's true, my mom was still beautiful with her brown hair and striking blue-green eyes that matched mine, if not from all the stress wrinkles that aged her face you would've never thought that she 36 years old. Yes, she had me when she was 21 and she had to learn to grow up fast, and she did just that and gave me all that I needed.

"I know Mom, don't worry your age secret is safe with me." I assure her, "Now lets enjoy this time we have to spend together."

A/N: HEYYYYYYYY, it's been a while my lovelies, I have a new story as you can see. DON'T HURT ME BECAUSE I DELETED MY OTHER STORIES AND DIDN'T POST FOR A WHILE(>.<) anyway, I hope you enjoy the new book, the first 2 chapters were more of an introduction to the main characters, and its gonna a very bumpy ride for Ian and Blake, but they'll make it through.

Anyway I've bored you enough, see you in the next update!
