❝play one.❞ Roger repositioned himself, crisscrossing his legs.

I wanted to impress him, so I quickly decided that I wanted play Stand By Me. I've been practicing that song for awhile, so why not give it a shot.

I moved my hands up to the fretboard, then instantly I got cold feet.

My fingers began to shake.

❝I-I'm sorry if I mess up. But...❞ I took a deep breath, looking at neck of my guitar, then back to my fingers.

❝try your best.❞ Roger grinned.

I blinked, then looked at him.

❝I don't care if you mess up.❞ His big azure eyes gazed up at mine, ❝just-, act like I'm not here.❞

I felt my cheeks heat up, and the corners of my lips perk up into a smile, ❝I-. Ok.❞

I made sure that my fingers were all in the right position, and strummed my first chord. I then slowly continued onto the next chord, then the next one, and then the next one, and so forth.

I sung the lyrics in my head while I played.

Finally feeling somewhat confident, my fingers and body began to loosen up.

I looked up every so often, seeing Roger not taking a break from smiling.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, won't you stand by

Finishing the song, I strummed the last chord, and heard Roger clapping.

❝that was so good!❞ Roger cheered. ❝no it wasn't.❞ I got up from my bed, and put my Red Special back on its stand.

❝yes it was!❞ Roger disagreed, ❝you're going to become the next Buddy Holly!❞ I plopped on my bed, ❝yeah sure.❞

❝I'm not joking Brian!❞ Roger exclaimed, ❝you sounded so good.❞

My facial expression went blank as I just stared at Roger in response.

❝you-!❞ Roger then crossed his arms, pouting, ❝believe me!❞

❝I don't think I should.❞ I started picking at my fingernails. Roger then punched me on the arm, ❝you're so annoying.❞

I raised my brows, ❝I think you're-,❞ I pointed my finger at him, ❝annoying.❞

Roger groaned, then shoved me, backing me fall backwards.

❝Roger! What the hell?!❞ I laughed.

I felt my bed shifting weight. Then I saw Roger, crawling on top of me, with an annoyed expression, ❝I don't find anything funny.❞

❝well I do.❞ I smiled arrogantly.

It fell silent between us, just like the day we touched hands. Our eyes were stuck—again.

Soon, I felt an urge just to pull Roger closer and just...kiss him.

Me being stupid, and not thinking about how Roger would react, I grabbed his cheeks and pressed my lips against his soft ones, closing the gap between us.

Roger immediately pulled away, looking away from me.

❝I-I'm so sorry Roger. I-.❞ I stammered, swallowing hard from embarrassment.

I started to freak out. I didn't know if he was staring at me because he was confused, mad, or just completely shocked.

Fuck. I should've just told him that I liked him. It would've been better that way, but no. I just decided to fucking kiss him withou-.

❝Bri?❞ Roger asked, whispering. I anxiously bit the inside of my cheek, ❝...yes?❞

❝I think I'm bisexual...because I like you.❞ He confessed.

I felt a weird twinge hit my heart.

Roger likes me back! He fucking likes me back!

I felt I took a deep breath and said, ❝I-I think I am too, because I like you back.❞ Roger reacted by shyly grinning.

I noticed that his cheeks turned to a deep, rosy pink.

❝can you kiss me again?❞ the blonde questioned, licking his lips, and gazing into my eyes. ❝Rog, the first time was just an acciden-.❞

❝I know.❞ Roger interrupted, ❝-and I liked it.❞ He glanced at my lips, then back at my hazel eyes.

My eyes frantically looked around to avoid eye contact with him, ❝I mean-, are you sure? I don't want to pressure you-.❞

Roger laughed silently, ❝Brian, is it that hard kiss me back?❞

❝I've never been in a relationship...with a girl or a boy.❞ I plainly confessed. ❝well, this is my first same gender relationship. So, we'll both see what the future holds.❞ He softly whispered, then slammed his lips against mine.
