A/N - OK, So I've wanted to write my own fiction for so long. I've finally decided to publish this two-shot and I'd love to hear what you think about it. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Enjoy...
Kyle's Secret
Chapter 1 - The Arrangements.
It was a Friday night in South Park, Colorado and Kyle was sat at his computer talking to his super best friend, Stan Marsh on instant messenger. They were making arrangements for tomorrow evening as Kyle had purchased tickets to see The Raging Pussies in Denver.
It was one of their favourite bands from their childhood and they had waited a long time to be able to get tickets.
Kyle had planned to use this event to finally get a secret off his chest. A secret he had kept to himself for the last 3 years. In fact 3 years tomorrow, this made it extra special for Kyle.
Just as Kyle was about to go into details for the evening in question the computer screen showed an error saying "offline". Damn it! Kyle thought to himself desperately trying to log back on to the instant messenger but failed dismally.
After a few more minutes of trying his cell phone rang and he ran to his bed where it lay. He picked it up and quickly checked the display showing the callers ID, 'Stan'. He flipped the phone open and greeted Stan.
"Hi dude, what happened? One minute you were online and the next it said you were offline!" Stan exclaimed
"Damn computer" Kyle responded "I think I need a new one, it keeps dropping the connection"
"Oh well. Anyway dude, where were we anyway?" Stan enquired sounding very excited at the thought of the concert.
"Yeah, Sorry dude. So, I'll pick you up at 7, OK? The concert starts at 9 so we should have plenty of time to get there" Kyle offered.
"Yeah, that's great dude, I'll see you at 7 then" With that Stan ended the conversation and disconnected the call.
Kyle returned to his computer and noticed the picture on his desk. It was a picture of him and Stan at the local fair last year. He smiled happily at the memory of the evening, they had so much fun.
Kyle's mind returned the more imminent problem of tomorrow. 3 years ago he had admitted to himself that he didn't like girls in the way he should, he in fact liked guys.
One guy to be precise, Stan Marsh. He had spent countless hours trying to work out how to tell Stan that he was gay but he had never been able to build up enough courage to do it. After all Stan was most likely not gay.
He had dated Wendy through elementary school, although they had broken up in the junior year of High School and Stan had not found anyone else. Well yet anyway.
Kyle could only hope that Stan wouldn't take the news too badly and decided that telling Stan at a public place was probably the best move. He had everything planned to the last detail.
They would enjoy a great concert and then after the concert when everyone was wasted, except him and Stan of course. Kyle was driving and Stan wasn't a fan of alcohol. He would tell Stan he was gay and in fact, was in love with him.
He had played through the possible scenarios in his mind of how Stan may take the news. They varied from the "fairytale" ending where Stan would fall into Kyle's arms and tell him that he loved him too to Stan completely losing it and never speaking to Kyle ever again.
As much as it hurt so much to think the latter might happen, Kyle knew he had to tell him one day and it had been long enough already. He had to do it now.
Kyle finally gave up on the computer and sighed as he noticed the clock on the wall. 12am, Shit it's late Kyle thought and walked through his bedroom door to the bathroom to brush his teeth before going to bed.
After finishing in the bathroom Kyle returned to his room, undressed and laid on his bed. His mind was racing with the thoughts of tomorrow running over and over again. After an hour of deep thought Kyle slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.
