Mitch's POV

I sat on my bed, spacing off as me and my new best friend, Scott, studied. I heard him say something, but I didn't listen. I'm just took caught up in my own thoughts. Scott is my best friend, ever since I moved here. I don't want him to find out my secret. He's so popular, and he wouldn't want to be seen with me again! "Hey Mitch, you ok? You seem out today." I snapped out of it and glanced up at him. I have to hide it as much as possible. I don't want to lie though.

"Yeah, Yeah I'm fine. There's just a lot on my mind right now..." I said. What if he does find out? Will he tell everyone and I'll have to relive what happened at my old school? Scott waved his hand in front of me to get my attention. "Mitch, what's up? You can tell me." He said comfortingly. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes. Does Scott really care enough for me as a friend to trust him? I don't want last year to happen again. Ever. I think he does deserve to know. "Will you promise me you won't judge me like everyone else?" I asked.

"Why would I judge you? And who is everyone else?" He asked with concern. 

"All of my old school. They judged me hardcore because they heard about this." I sighed. It's too late to turn back now. I have to tell him. "What is it?" He asked.

"Well..." C'mon MItch, be strong, you can tell him. "I... I'm...gay..." I whispered. Scott raised an eyebrow. "What? I didn't hear you. He said, leaning in closer to hear what I said.

"I'm gay." I said a little louder. Scott leaned back to his original position, his eyes never leaving me. I kept my eyes on my lap. What is he thinking? Is he prossessing this? Is he thinking about leaving? Did I just push away my best friend? When I glanced back up at him, he was staring at me. Smiling.

"Ok." He said. "Ok? Is that all you have to say?" I said. How could he just give me an 'ok?'

"Yeah. It's not a bad thing to be gay!" He said. "It's good to be yourself. It doesn't matter if you like men or women. All that matters is that you are you, and nothing could ever change that." He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. I can't believe he's not going to judge me or push me away! I haven't felt this happy in a long time. I couldn't be happier. I felt a tear welling up in my eye, but I blinked it back.

"So... So your not going to push me away? You're still gonna be my friend?"

"Of course." He chuckled. He pulled me in for a hug, and I couldn't help but let that tear slide down my cheek. I wrapped arms around him, completing the hug. He was so warm, and his breathing was comforting. I focused on his heartbeat. It was silent and we stayed that way until he broke the silence. "And Mitch? I have something I wanna say." He said, not loosening the hug at all. 

"Yeah?" he pulled away, but our faces were still pretty close. "I'm gay too." He whispered. My heart literally skipped a beat. That was the last thing I saw coming! "You are? Does anyone else know?" 

'No. No one else knows." He smirked, and I couldn't help but giggle. "Then why did you tell me?" I asked, not taking my eyes off of his. He leaned in and our foreheads touched.

"Because I wanna know if you would want to be my boyfriend." He asked, his smile never leaving his face. Another tear rolled down my cheek.

"Yes." I whispered. "Yes I would." He laid a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. I lied when I said I couldn't be happier earlier, because I just became the happiest man alive.
