Authors Note: Hello people who chose to read this fic (trust me I don't get any more awkward than that). I love playing Playchoices, although the paywalls can be a tad annoying, it has amazing stories and a pretty dedicated fandom as well. I have been thinking about writing this for a while so here it is. This story focuses on my male!MC and his relationship with Caleb (I loved dating that boy). They grow together and learn from one another while enjoying being with each other (most of the time). I'll be kicking it off with a description of my MC and a small drabble, let me know if you have any questions and I hope you enjoy.
Male MC Description: Nathaniel ("Nate") Hade is currently a 16 going on 17 year old high school student. The story is set starting when he is a sophomore and then becomes junior (I may go into senior year or college I haven't decided yet). Tanned skinned (hispanic) with light brown, bouncy curly hair with amber eyes. Lean body figure and somewhat on the scrawny side which often gives off an innocent and nonthreatening demeanor, but his lifetime of athleticism comes in handy when needing to defend himself or anyone else.
Kind hearted, intuitive and generous he wants nothing more than to help people, which has gotten him into more than enough trouble. Loves volunteer work, cooking (with a single father who can somehow burn water it was a useful skill to pick up), and playing with his hamster "Spot" (for the big brown spot on its back). Unashamedly in touch with his sensitive side, but despite his caring personality he can be incredibly stubborn, quick to be untrusting or judgmental of others, is prone to isolate himself from people as a means to protect himself. Raised by his loving (almost smothering level) and funny father and abandoned at a young age by his mother (will go into more detail later) it has always been just the two of them. Knowing/ identifying as bisexual since he 12/13 and currently in a relationship with the lovable jock Caleb Mitchell.
Sweetheart
Now Nate has heard that word on much more than one occasion thrown at him, but never before has he met such a living embodiment until he met Caleb Mitchell. Honestly when Emma described him as a "golden boy football god" on his first day he expected a watered down version of Brian. But the second Caleb greeted him with a big smile and those kind eyes he knew he was wrong, he guessed that was when he began to fall for him.
Even when they were just friend Caleb treated Nate like a prince, and he accepted his behavior with caution. He's been burned before by people he thought he could trust so he wasn't ready to ride him off as perfect yet. Though when he saw the pure agony that Zoe brought him when she cheated he couldn't see Caleb as anyone else than a good person who trusted the wrong people, Nate knew what that felt like.
So he empathized with him, developed a quick friendship and they honestly made a good team. Having Caleb at his side supporting him, along with his newly acquired gang of friends, was one of the only reasons he was able to survive this year and all the misadventures that came with it. And Caleb obviously needed some nice people around him for a change. His loyalty was refreshing but it certainly didn't help his growing affection for him. The last thing he wanted was to be a rebound from Zoe or push Caleb in to anything, he didn't even know if Caleb was interested in guys.
His gentle touches and not so subtle glances made him wonder. The almost kiss after that movie confirmed those suspicions. Caleb did in fact like guys and more specifically he did like Nate. Nate still considered the dilemma, Caleb could still unknowingly want a replacement Zoe and was Nate even ready for a relationship. The self doubts and what ifs were dominating his thoughts.
Until Homecoming came around and Caleb asked him out in the most amazing way he's ever seen. He looked so earnest when asking and there was definitely some hesitation in his voice. As if he was terrified that Nate would say "no" and that he needed to build up his confidence to do this. Nate had said yes even before his brain processed it and enveloped Caleb in a kiss. Slow and gentle with a hint of passion from both sides, two people who really wanted this to happen. Nate thought they could work through whatever conflict could arise with them being together and Caleb was cute and good kisser and Natwas only human. Nate supposed he fell for him alot that day.
Things have been going well so far, especially since they became official. No one was really shocked, especially their group. When they told them there were "finallys" and "awws" thrown at them left and right. And Michael lovingly slapped Nate on the shoulder and said how happy he was that "Caleb finally grew a pair and asked him out". His dad approved which made Nate happy and unsurprised because he was pretty sure his dad shipped them since day one. What really shouldn't have surprised him but did annoy him was when Caleb told him his dad gave him a "dad to new boyfriend" talk. No matter how annoying Nate's dad was he smirked a bit when Caleb described how scary his dad could look.
Which brings us to the present where Nate and Caleb are enjoying a nice stroll through Caleb's backyard which just so happens to be a beach under a beautiful a full moon.
"Caleb for the last time, I'm fine." Nate stated exasperated and in Caleb's windbreaker. He wasn't really cold but he'd end up wearing it eventually.
"Sorry, just checkin' babe", Caleb responded shyly and giving a small peck on Nate's temple. Nate sighed and allowed Caleb to deliver small kisses to his forehead and cheeks.
"I swear sometimes you're way too sweet." Nate sighed, though he said it casually part of Nate believed that to be true. Caleb was always so attentive and affectionate and quick to help him without a second thought. There were times Nate questioned if he deserved all the attention.
"A) I really don't think it's possibly to be too sweet and B) you are so amazing I'm just trying to keep up." Caleb whispered close to his ear as they stopped walking and Caleb held him to his chest.
"Oh you are so whipped!" Nate giggled as he gently pushed Caleb away jokingly.
Caleb quickly wrapped his arms around his boyfriend slightly lifting him up stating "And proud of Hade!"
Nate continued to laugh and tried to break free of his hug, but Caleb wasn't having that just yet. When Nate surrendered and rested his cheek on his shoulder he stated "Fine sweetie, how about you get me the moon, it looks so pretty in the sky I want it for myself."
Nate was obviously joking, but almost immediately he let go and told to wait there by Caleb who jogged back to his house leaving Nate incredibly confused. Nonetheless he waited there watching the waves splash on sand, letting the cool breeze relax him hoping he didn't embarrass Caleb.
About 5 minutes later he returned bringing Nate a small pail filled halfway with water. Nate looked at this curiously not quite knowing what to say.
"You know even if I was thirsty I prefer drinking out of a glass if you don't mind." Nate joked swishing the water in the pail around.
"No, that's not what I meant-" Caleb said taking pail and bending it a bit "-look in the water's reflection."
Sure enough Nate saw the moon and her stars surrounding it within the water, "Oh", Nate replied dumbfounded and blushing. He actually brought me the moon Nate thought as he gazed at the reflection a minute or two and then met his boyfriends eyes. "I love it".
"Now I know it isn't the real one but-", Caleb was interrupted when arms flew around his shoulders and two soft lips kissed him with urgency.
Caleb dropped the pail for getting about it entirely resting his hands on Nate's hips as he kissed him back. When their lips were thoroughly bruised Caleb started to plant kissed down Nate's neck. Nate sighed looking up at his moon and wondering just how much he could fall for his sweetheart.
