A/N: So instead of a one-shot, Boys Will Be Boys will be a bunch of drabbles of Wes and David. They won't be in order however. They'll be in whatever order Wes and David share the stories with me. So hopefully you all like it :) Hi my farm planet name is: I have no clue if ten-years old know what french kissing is. When they wrote it I hadn't decided what age they would be and then I did and I never changed it...so oh well haha.

Reviews? Please?

Thanks to Linnea for being an amazing beta, and for putting up with the crazies in my head.

The first time David became at all aware of his feelings for Wes was in 8th grade. The two of them had recently joined the school's choir, and somehow Wes managed to convince the three other boys in the group to help him serenade his newest crush. Today was the day; it was to happen at lunch.

"Hey," Wes says, coming up behind David.

"Nervous?"

"Little bit," he admits quietly. David steps back slightly, his hand reaching down to grasp Wes's.

"It will be fine," he says, squeezing Wes's hand gently. "She'll fall into your arms I know it." Wes nods, releasing David's hand as feedback comes over the intercom. "Ready?" Wes nods again as David and the other three boys go behind Wes.

Wes steps to the front of the group as David and the other three boys do some odd looking dancing

When the visions around you

Bring tears to your eyes

And all that surrounds you

Are secrets and lies

I'll be your strength

I'll give you hope,

Keeping your faith when it's gone

The one you should call

Was standing here all along…

David watches, half-heartedly dancing while Wes charms his crush. The whole cafeteria is swaying enjoying Wes's voice, and David and the others backup vocals.

And I will take

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you

This I promise you

It was almost like a bullet hit him, but as Wes sang; David realized with heartbreaking clarity that he was head over heels in love with the boy in front of him. He stumbles a bit, knocking into the other boy. No, it can't be true, he can't love Wes.

I've loved you forever

In lifetimes before

And I promise you never

Will you hurt anymore

I give you my word

I give you my heart

This is a battle we've won

And with this vow

Forever has now begun

David willed the feelings to go away, there was no possible way he loved Wes. Not like that anyways. But as he sort of danced, watching Wes serenade someone who wasn't him he felt his heart breaking into a million little pieces.

Just close your eyes

Each loving day

I know this feeling won't go away

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you

This I promise you

And now it hurt, dancing behind him as he confessed how he felt to someone else. Although David knew the song was nearly over, and he should be the supportive best friend he'd always been, he just couldn't handle it anymore. With one last look at Wes, David runs from the lunchroom, tears already forming in his eyes. He dashes into the bathroom, sobbing.

He remembers suddenly with perfect clarity the summer before 6th grade and that stupid kiss he and Wes shared. He closes his eyes, willing the tears to just stop falling before someone finds him. The bathroom door creaks open and David curses under his breath. Of course someone would come in here.

"David?" Wes asks in a timid voice, inching forward into the bathroom. David takes a deep shuddering breath, hands reaching up to wipe away his tears. "Are you okay?"

"Fine," he says, as he stands, still choking back tears. "How'd it go?"

"She said yes," Wes says with a blinding smile that causes David's heart to break all over again. "Are you sure you're okay?" David just nods, unable to lie to his best friend again.

"Come on, lunch is probably over now. We should get to class," David says, beginning to walk out of the bathroom. Wes stops him, pulling him into a bone-crushing hug.

"Thanks," he says, his face pressed into David's neck. David nods, loving the feeling of Wes in his arms, before pulling away. "Class?" he asks, smiling. David nods again, smiling sadly as Wes turns to walk away. As they walk to class David wonders if he'll ever have the courage to tell Wes that he's in love with him.
