The Sun was setting on the beautiful San Francisco skyline as Mark walked to Johnny's apartment. He had butterflies of anticipation as to what he was going to say when he got there. He had been wanting to tell Johnny how he felt about him for some time now. He had decided tonight would be the night as he downed a beer at the bar earlier in the evening. He found that Lisa would also be out for the night after he had called Johnny to let him know that he was coming over.
"Boys night." Johnny had chuckled into the phone."
"Well, it's now or never." Mark said to himself as he rang Johnny's doorbell. He could hear shuffling inside and a few moments later, an excited looking Johnny opened the door.
"Mark, my best friend!" He exclaimed, putting an arm around Mark in an awkward side hug, clapping him on the back.
"Hi Johnny." Replied Mark, smiling wide. There go those damn butterflies again. He thought as Johnny ushered him into the apartment.
"Have a seat, Mark." Johnny said waving his hand toward the couch, Vanna White style. Mark smiled again and took a seat while Johnny went to the kitchen to grab some beer. Mark looked around the small living room at all of the pictures. Some were of Johnny and Lisa, which made him sort of jealous but most were of spoons, which he didnt quite understand. A few moments later, Johnny came back into view and sat down on the couch next to Mark.
"So anyway, how is your sex life?" Johnny inquired, handing Mark a beer. Mark had to try hard not to blush. Truth is, he hadn't been with anyone recently, man or woman because he could only think of Johnny.
"Ah, its not been so great." Mark replied, sipping his beer.
"Oh, why's that?" Johnny asked.
Mark shrugged and set his beer down on the table. He felt his cheeks get hot and his palms get sweaty. You've got to do this. He mentally prepared himself for what was about to come.
"What's wrong, Mark?" Johnny asked, eyes filled with question as to why his best friend was acting so weird tonight.
"Johnny, I have something to tell you." Mark said quietly, looking down at his hands. Johnny got quiet too, and set his beer down.
"Johnny, I've loved you since the day I saw you." Mark said, looking into Johnny's eyes.
"But I love Lisa so much." Frowned Johnny, putting a hand on Mark's shoulder. Mark had known this would happpen and he was prepared.
"Leave your stupid feeings in your pocket and run away with me." He said confidently, taking both of Johnny's hands in his and looking him straight in the eyes. Johnny looked back at Mark.
"Oh Mark." He sighed, grabbing the back of Mark's head and ramming his lips onto Mark's. The two men kissed and groped for what seemed like forever before coming up for air.
"But where will we run to?" Johnny asked, out of breath. "What about Lisa?" He added.
"Forget about that stupid bitch." Mark replied, an evil smile crawling onto his face as he pushed Johnny down on the couch and started unzipping his pants. After both men had been satisfied, they lay together shirtless on the couch, panting.
"I love you, Johnny." Whispered mark, kissing Johnny atop the forehead.
"Oh Mark, I love you so much." Replied Johnny, letting his head fall onto Mark's shoulder before swiftly falling asleep.
