JUDES POV
It was finally the end of the day and I walked over to he bench where I had promised to meet Connor. As if on cue he came up behind me and yelled "BOO" straight into my ear and I almost had a heart attack!
"Don't do that! You almost scared me to death!"
"Sorry, but your reaction would have made it totally worth it" he joked... At least I hoped he was joking...
"You ready to walk home?" I ask changing the conversation
"Yeah let's do it." He said and began to walk ahead of me. I couldn't help but notice his butt as he walked away. He turned and I felt my cheeks go a shade of red
"stop looking at me like I'm meat and let's go!" And I run to catch up with him.
On the way home we walked in comfortable silence, a gentle breeze blew past us and I sighed, just taking in the view. At this moment I felt Connor's hand entwine around mine and before I knew it they were locked together. I smiled as we walked hand in hand and all of a sudden everything seemed so much more beautiful. The flowers that grew under the blinding sun presented themselves in an array of stunning colours. Birds chirped and bugs flew about but none of that distracted me from the fact that I was holding hands with Connor. From a distance I can hear a car approaching but I think nothing of it. That is until I hear it slow down as it gets closer to us. I turn and I see My mama, Lena, staring at me and Connor in disbelief. I hadn't told them. I hadn't told them what was going on with me and Connor! I meant to, I just forgot! I release Connors hand from mine and Lena speeds off around the corner towards the house.
"Come on!" I shout to Connor as I began to sprint home. By the time we got back Lena was already home and Connor and I make our way to the porch. Just before we enter Connor grabs my arm and pulls me close to him.
"Hey don't be so nervous! They were going to find out sooner or later! Plus I doubt your gay moms will have a problem with your sexuality! They will support you no matter what!" A tear started to well in my eye but Connors hand was quick to wipe it away. "Hey hey hey! No tears okay! Everyone in that house is still going to love you, p
robably even more than before! And I know that I will always love you Jude. Don't ever forget that. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be in the closet, afraid of what everyone would think of me. But now, as long as I've got you, that's all I will ever need okay? I love you Jude" Connors speech had evoked even more tears to fall from my face.
"I.. I love you too Connor" I reply looking deep into his eyes. I embraced him in a hug and wiped my tears on his shoulder.
"You know, a shoulder to cry on is meant to be metaphorical." Connor says trying to hold back laughter. He pulled me back gave a light kiss on my forehead.
I laughed and wiped away my tears. Connor took my hand in his whilst he opened the door. Stef and Lena were waiting for us in the living room. Both sets of eyes were fixed on the two boys holding hands.
"Jude, honey, we need to talk, why don't you sit down? You too Connor." She says looking at the empty couch. Both of us sit down and my grip on Connors hand becomes even tighter. He reciprocates showing his support. "So obviously you two have become... More than friends recen-"
"We're boyfriends mom, I was going to tell you! Honestly but it all happened so fast I didn't really have a chance and then Lena saw us holdin-" I had started talking at supersonic speed and I only realised this when Connor squeezed my hand in signal to stop rambling.
"Jude honey! It's not a bad thing! You don't need to get so worked up! We just wanted you guys to know the ground rules now that your dating." Lena said
"Oh no" I whispered to myself. Connor was intently listening to Lena.
"No more closed doors whilst your alone together, no kissing at the table, Connor you are now welcome to dinner at any time you want, you are a safe here as well. And incase you ever need them the condoms are -"
"I think we will be going now! Come on Connor let's go upstairs" I say leading him to leave the room. Connor gave Lena and Stef an appreciatory nod and said thank you before he left. Half way up the stairs we hear Stef shout
"LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN!" I sigh and continue to walk upstairs. We got in my room And Connor sat on the bed, leaving the door slightly ajar.
"I'm so sorry" Jude says and he moves towards his boyfriend.
CONNORS POV
When the final bell rang, I darted out of my English class before anyone could stop to talk to me. I was too excited! I was going round Jude's house! I mean, it wasn't like it was my first time, but it was my first time since we'd started... Whatever this was. We're we.. Boyfriends? I can't even think it without hesitating though... But I still can't believe this is all happening. It happened so fast but I still wouldn't have it any other way. All I know is I don't want to see anyone else and I don't want Jude to either, if that makes us... Boyfriends then so be it!
I saw Jude walking towards the bench getting ready to meet me and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to scare him! I snuck up behind him in complete stealth and when I was about 2 meters away I jumped on him and yelled "BOO" straight into his ear. His reaction was priceless! He made a strangled yelping noise followed by a weird flailing of his arms but he still managed to look incredibly cute whilst making his 'presentation'.
"Don't do that! You almost scared me to death" Jude said whilst trying to calm himself but I could help but laugh!
"Sorry, but your reaction would have made it totally worth it" I joked. It WAS a joke!
"You ready to walk home?" Jude asks.
"Yeah, let's do it." I reply and start to walk ahead already. I turn around to notice an embarrassed Jude that had just been checking out my behind! "Stop looking at me like I'm meat and let's go!" I say cheekily as Jude runs to catch up with me. The walk home was mainly silence, but I kept stealing the occasional glance and Jude, he didn't seem to notice so each one I would dare to look a little longer than the last time. Our hands kept momentarily brushing each other and I took the risk and decided to go for it. I grabbed Jude's skeleton fingers and wrapped them around my own. His warmth radiated from his skin and I had to keep squeezing to make sure this was really happening. I was holding hands with my crush and a smirk crept onto my face. I didn't even notice but a car had basically pulled up along side us and I was truly shocked to see Lena in the driving seat! Her mouth was wide open in shock and quickly realising why, Jude threw My hand down. It took a matter of seconds for Lena to speed off down the road leaving Jude and I on our own. He quickly took off into a sprint and yelled back to me "come on!" That boy has shorter legs then me but bit can he run! He didn't slow down or hesitate at all! No one could have caught with that small boy! When we got up to the porch, Lena's car was already in the drive and Jude looked distraught and uncomfortable in his own skin. Jude was about to walk in but I made the decision to pull him aside.
"Hey don't be so nervous!" I say trying to comfort him. "They were going to find out sooner or later! Plus I doubt your gay moms will have a problem with your sexuality! They will support you no matter what!" I notice Jude's eye start to water but my thumb quickly finds itself wiping it away. "Hey hey hey! No tears okay! Everyone in that house is still going to love you, probably even more than before! And I will always love you Jude. Don't ever forget that. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be in the closet, afraid of what everyone would think of me. But now, as long as I've got you, that's all I will ever need okay? I love you Jude" even more tears leaked from Jude's eyes. And his simple yet sincere reply brought tears to my eyes as well.
"I...I love you too Connor." And suddenly Jude was latched onto me in a hug and I couldn't help but submerge into my pleasure. I felt his breathing become more regular and I thought about how I could lighten the mood.
"You know a shoulder to cry on is meant to be metaphorical!" I say wittily and proudly. Judge let's out a soft giggle and I gave him a kiss on the forehead in support. I took Jude's hand in mine and pushed the unlocked door open. Stef and Lena both stood in the living room waiting for the conversation that had to be had.
"Jude, honey, we need to talk. Why don't you sit down? You too Connor" Stef says whilst gesturing to the couch and Jude and I sat down hand in hand. I felt Jude squeeze tighter and I squeeze back. God I loved this hand. "So obviously you two have become... More than friends recent-" but she was cut off by Jude.
"We're boyfriends mom" we were boyfriends. I'd waited so long for that answer and I was happy to get it. I never really knew what we were, whether Jude even liked me like that but that was all answered in that one sentence. Jude continued.
"I was going to tell you! Honestly but it all happened so fast I didn't really have a chance and then Lena saw us holdin-" he was getting upset again so I squeezed again to calm him down.
Jude honey! It's not a bad thing! You don't need to get so worked up! We just wanted you guys to know the ground rules now that your dating." Lena said chipping in for the first time.
Jude said something under his breathe but too quiet for me to hear. I was listening solely to Lena though, I had new rules I had to abide by if I was going to keep Jude.
"No more closed doors whilst your alone together, no kissing at the table, Connor you are now welcome to dinner at any time you want, you are a safe here as well. And incase you ever need them the condoms are -" just when she was about to say... Jude jumped in.
"I think we will be going now! Come on Connor let's go upstairs!" He says already dragging me by the hand. I say a quick thank you to Jude's moms and when we were half way up the stairs I hear Stef shout up.
"LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN" I chuckle to myself and we go to Jude's room. He leaves the door slightly ajar and begins to walk over to me.
"I am so sorry" he says
