[BoyxBoy] ✓ I Fell In Love With An Emo Boy

46. CLOSET

It was raining outside. It was insane. The wind was blowing leaves all over the place. I was glad I was inside.

During lunchtime at school I sat with my friends who were boring the living daylight out of me. Then I looked up and saw a certain blonde emo boy standing in line for food.

"I'm grabbing some more fruit." I said and got up.

I grabbed a lunch tray and cut in front of T.

He looked up surprised. "Hey?"

"Yo." I started grabbing random shit from the self service bar.

"I thought we weren't talking in public." T said quietly.

"We're not talking. I'm just grabbing some food."

T chuckled. "Right."

"How is your day so far?"

Alright, I'm gay. Fuck. I'm gay. I would normally never ask that shit but look at me now. Speaking the dumbest, gayest sentence ever. And with sincere interest even! Ugh!

T smiled surprised. "Good. I have a lot of classes with Allie today."

"Oh yeah. How's Allie? Still heartbroken over me?"

T scoffed. "She's fine. I think she met someone over the summer but she won't tell."

"Ooh, a mystery. Maybe it's a girl."

T raised his eyebrows. "I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Cause-"

"Hello? Are you two done yapping?" The lunch lady asked.

I rushed and paid for my food. I lingered around for T. After he paid I pulled him aside.

"This is driving me crazy." I said.

"What is?"

"Pretending we're not a thing. Being so fucking secretive! I just want.." I frowned and looked away.

"I'm fine with being public if you want that so long as we don't tell my dad."

"You know I can't." I stared at the ground.

"Josh, it's fine. I don't mind either way." T grabbed my arm.

I jerked it away on instinct.

"Sorry." T and I said simultaneously.

"Don't apologize." I said.

"Kay." T stared at his feet.

"Nice hair." I said. He had it normal today. Actually, ever since school started he'd stopped torturing it with combs and hairspray.

"Yeah you.. You said you liked it like this so.." T blushed and avoided eye contact.

AWW!!

I instinctively leaned in to kiss him but then remembered we were in public. I pulled away and stomped my foot. "Fuck!"

"It's fine." T said calmly.

I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him close. "Come to the janitor's closet in an hour." I whispered in his ear.

Then I turned around and went back to my friends. I sat down and glanced at T and he was still standing there, red as a tomato.

I couldn't help but smile. What an idiot.

"That looked cozy." Dave said suddenly.

Anxiety shot through me.

"What?"
