Riley sighed, sitting on his couch, his knee moving up and down. What the hell did he just do? He was having such a good time with Peter when out of nowhere... Riley kissed him. Why couldn't I have just kept my feelings in?! Riley screamed at himself inside his head, getting up from where he sat and punched the closest wall he could find. "I'm so fucking stupid..." Riley knew he had been gay for a while, but he knew he had to keep it in. He was the star of the football team, he didn't want that getting in the way of his future.
Then he suddenly heard the doorbell ring. "I guess Mom's finally home..." He said to himself, walking upstairs to open the door for her. Just as he turned the doorknob, he realized it was Peter. He immediately tried to shut the door in his face, but Peter wuickly grabbed the door and held it open.
"Listen, man, I just wanna talk... okay?" Peter said, struggling to keep the door open.
"No, just go away..!" Riley muttered, letting go of the door and running to his room. Peter quickly ran behind him, managing to get into Riley's room the second before the door slammed.
"Okay, Riley, I..." Peter started, then Riley quickly inturrupted.
"Listen, it was a mistake! I'm not a fag, okay? You know that! I can't be a fag! It was a mistake!" Riley said, practically screaming as he blushed.
"No, Riley, that wasn't a mistake. I'm pretty sure I... y'know..." Peter trailed off, looking at thr ground.
"What?" Riley said, trying to read Peter's eyes as he talked.
"Maybe... maybe I felt... something..." Peter said, feeling his face getting hot, not taking his blue eyes off the carpeting in Riley's room.
"Wait... are you... serious?" Riley said, his voice a calmer tone, moving toward Peter. "B-because you... I mean... What I said... before... okay..." Riley choked on his words, trying to find what was right to say. "I lied... earlier... when I said it was a mistake..."
Peter blushed and looked up as Riley took his hand and placed it slightly on Peter's soft skin, moving his blonde hair out of his eyes. Peter felt a lump in his throat, unable to move as Riley carefully pressed his lips against Peter's, and this time Peter didn't back away, he closed his eyes and leaned into Riley.
Riley slowly moved his lips away from Peter's, wishing he could have had that moment last forever. Then reality set in as Riley moved his hands around the other boy's waist and pulled his chest onto his. "W-what're we gonna do..? I can't have people thinking I'm..."
"And Mia..." Peter mumbled, wondering what to tell her. "I... I wanna stay with you..."
"I wanna stay with you too, but we... we can't be public... or everything I've worked so hard for... I'll loose it..."
"I know... And I'll have to think of something to tell her..."
"Don't worry, though. We'll just figure this out... together..." Riley said, softly pressing his lips onto Peter's another time.
