I've noticed there are a few (like 2 or 3) yaoi fanfics on this archive, so I've decided to do one. I hope you all enjoy it, because it might be the last and only M rated one with sex (it's not now, but it will be later on) on this site…if I don't make another. If you don't like yaoi, please leave, because I don't want to hear any comments about why I made it that way and I'm dumb and blah, blah, blah. You've been warned both here and on the summary. If you didn't read either and you still complain, you're an idiot. I really hate when people get mad because a certain thing is in it even though they've been warned not to read it because it contains what they don't like. Enough ranting now. Here's the story.

Manolo didn't know when he first started liking his best friend as more than a friend, but he guessed it happened some time after Maria left town. Even through all of their training (Manny with his bull fighting and Joaquin training to be some sort of soldier), the two had managed to spend the little time they snuck away from the mayor and Manolo's father. For some reason, as they got older, Manolo found himself clutching his best friend's hand when he was scared or nervous. Sometime after that, it got to the point where the two would hold hands just to do so. It was normal for them to hold hands, even in public. They weren't a couple though. They were just friends, but he wanted that to change that. However he lacked the confidence that his best friend had. Courage he had, but the nerve to walk up to Joaquin and confessed his undying love…that was a problem. He feared that Joaquin would either laugh at him or completely ignore him. The thought made him afraid of losing the only friend he had.

Besides, what if Joaquin still liked Maria? It had been years since Maria had been seen or heard from. He outgrew his crush on her, but he wasn't sure if his amigo had yet. Whenever they hung out, neither of them discussed Maria except after she left. A year later, their minds were on training sessions more often now and complaining about them, although Joaquin often bragged more than he complained. He hated to think that his friend still wanted Maria. How could he love someone that was gone for years and probably changed so much that she could be barely recognizable? Ever since he figured out that he loved Joaquin, he bore a lot of dislike for Maria.

"Hey, Manny!" Joaquin shouted as Manolo stared out the window lost in his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh hey, Joaquin!"

"You coming or what?"

"For what?"

"You forgot already?" his friend raised a brow. "We were supposed to be 'practicing'…remember?"

"Oh! I'm coming!" Manolo quickly put on his shoes and grabbed his guitar, a gift from Maria from when he liked her. He would have gotten his own, but knew his father would make a fuss over it if he did.

As he watched Joaquin spar with another soldier, he noticed how gracefully his best friend moved. He had so much confidence within each movement. He wished he possessed as much confidence as him. He was always doubting himself, unlike Joaquin.

"You watching, Manny?" he asked looking hopeful.

"Of course!" he smiled as Joaquin took down the larger male he was fighting.

The sparring session went on for an hour and a half before he was done and they could hang out now. Luckily for him that he had convinced his father to let him have a day off to practice with Joaquin, even though they were really going to goof off. The two ran off to their secret spot inside of a large tree.

"Man, I'm pooped!" Joaquin said sitting down and reading a comic book while Manolo tuned his guitar. "I wish I didn't have to train so hard."

"Really? I thought you liked it."

"I do, but damn he's really pushing me to the extreme." he complained rubbing his shoulder. "My back hurts like a bitch!"

"I wish you would quit cursing like a sailor."

"Well that's who I am...like it or not."

"I guess. Want me to massage your shoulders?"

"Sure. Why not?" Joaquin laid down on his back and Manolo massaged his back. He felt himself turn bright red as Joaquin started moaning really sexually. "Oh yeah…right there…shit…keep going…oooh…aaah…mmmph!"

"Hey! Stop that!" Manolo snapped, although he was enjoying the noise himself.

"I can't help it. Your hands are so…ah…fuck! Right there! Your hands are so amazing! Right there…mmm! Harder! What's wrong with me letting you know I like what you're doing?"

"Because it sounds like I'm…you know…" he was turning bright red.

Joaquin sat down and looked at his friend, trying to comprehend what he was getting at. He smirked when he figured what he meant. "What?" he whispered seductively in his friend's ear. "Fucking me?"

"Don't say it like that!" he squeaked jumping back, blushing even harder than before.

"Oh come on, Manolo. I was only messing around." he laughed. Manolo didn't answer as he turned even redder. Joaquin wrapped an arm around his best friend. "It's not like you actually wanna do it…or do you? I don't blame you if you do. I am pretty sexy after all and I'm a virgin, so my ass is pretty tight and it'd feel so good..."

"I'm leaving!" Manolo said firmly as he pushed away his friend. Joaquin didn't know it, but his best friend was sporting an erection from his crush's dirty talk and the way he whispered in his ear.

"Did I say something?" Joaquin asked densely.

"I've gotta go!" he snapped grabbing his bag and leaving the tree.

"Wait!" the taller teen grabbed his friend's arm. "Did I say something?"

"Let me go!"

"Manolo, what...?" Suddenly he noticed his friend's "problem" and let go quickly as he turned bright red.

Manolo ran as fast as he could back home, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. He ignored his father's question about why he was home and not with Joaquin. Once he was upstairs, he cried silently for a long time underneath the covers. What if Joaquin hated him now? Boys weren't supposed to think such things about each other, especially their best friends. Joaquin was probably disgusted and wouldn't want to be around him anymore. Manolo hadn't asked to feel this way, but he did. Now their friendship was ruined and it was all his fault for being different.

That's all for now. I'm off to finish editing the other stories I have and put them out too. I hope you all will tune in next time!
