Have you ever met someone that manages to catch your eye, flash a smile, and suddenly your heart is in their hands? Yeah well, that's how I feel about Ping. And I know, I'm a guy, I shouldn't feel this way about him, but... I can't resist.

I kissed him once. Really quickly. It was kind of awkward, so I said I tripped. But the way he looked at me... I could tell he knew something was up. His lips were surprisingly smooth. They say love makes you do stupid things, and I guess whoever "they" are was right.

I've thought about telling him how I really fell; the only reason I'm so tough on him is because I see potential in him. I want him to succeed. I want him to lead by my side in battle.

But what if he doesn't feel the same way? But what if he does? What do we do then? This... Liking another man...isn't normal. It's just not accepted. I need to make up my mind about this. This is tearing me apart.

Oh crap. There he is. "Uh... hi Ping." I do my best to smile like the confident leader I am. But when he smiles back, I feel like my world is falling apart.
