Austin slowly approached Dez, not sure how to explain his situation. Dez has always been oblivious to the world around him, and he was most certainly oblivious to Austin's feelings for him. That's why when Austin called him at 3AM, he had been most confused. Being his bestfriend, he did as Austin said and met him in Austin's kitchen.
Dez smiled upon seeing the early pancake breakfast before him.
"So Austin," Dez said sleepily. "What did you want to talk about?"
"I don't exactly know how to explain this... So please bear with me," Austin said, forcing a smile. Austin had been forcing a lot of smiles since Ally had broken up with him so she could pursue a relationship with Trish.
"You've never been afraid to tell me anything," Dez said, now looking confused.
"I like you," Austin said, flinching as he waited for his friends' reaction.
"I like you too Austin," Dez said, his confused expression never leaving his face.
"No, as in...more than friends," Austin said, biting his lip.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
Dez suddenly took a step forward, smiling as he did so.
Austin smiled back, only to hide his fear of sudden rejection. Dez held Austin's hand in his own and suddenly pressed his lips to his. The kiss was amazing; nothing compared to what Ally had ever given him.
"That was nice," Dez said, slowly pulling away.
"Yeah," Austin replied smiling.
"I'm sorry Austin," Dez said as he made his way towards the exit.
"For what?" Austin asked, thinking he didn't enjoy the kiss as much as he did.
"I proposed to Carrie this morning."
