A/N: Sorry this isn't much of a chapter by itself but it's more of a touching follow on to chapter 2.

Chapter 3: Ready or not, here I come

Jez and Danny sat there for a while just holding hands for a while, savouring the moment when Jez finally spoke.
"Do you really love me? Or am I being led on?" Tears sprang to his eyes, stinging and irritating him but he was determined not to cry, not yet anyway…

"What kind of a question is that?" Danny said, hurt.
"Sorry" Jez whispering because otherwise Danny would hear him crying. It wasn't much use as Danny put his arm around Jez's shoulder.
"Jez, I really do love you. Why would I risk everything if I didn't? Jez if it makes you feel better I'll break up with Lauren tomorrow." Danny kissed Jez on the cheek and silently added "And come out". But Jez was so unbelievably nice he'd say not to until he was ready, but the boys were in love. "I've never felt like this before" Danny finally added.
"Probably because all the other people you've kissed have been covered in lip-gloss and have zero chance of growing a beard!" Jez grinned wiping away the tears still staining his face. Danny couldn't stop laughing.
"Do you want to stay at Mrs. Troy's tonight?" All Jez could do was nod, both boys could only just put together a sentence, they were laughing too much to care if they looked stupid. 'This should last forever' thought Jez.
