"First Time" by Lifehouse
Buford has always been stubborn and hard headed. He spent nearly his entire life hiding his true self through violence and aggression. He would have never even dreamed of showing signs of any kind of deep emotions, and he would especially never show signs of being in love. Now all of his feelings were coming full circle and he couldn't hide them any longer. When he looked at Baljeet, he felt every hidden emotion all at once. He couldn't think or even breath, and it scared him to death.
As Buford and Baljeet walked home from school together, Buford found himself staring at Baljeet who was looking at his feet. Suddenly the shorter teen looked up at his former bully. "What are you staring at?" Baljeet asked curiously.
"Nothin'! " Buford shouted defensively as he looked away.
It was a windy day and the temperature was starting to drop. Baljeet suddenly felt chills up and down his arms and legs. He was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and did not have a coat with him. Soon he his entire body began to shiver. Buford saw the smaller male shake form the corner of his eye. Suddenly Buford felt deep sympathy for Baljeet. Before Baljeet knew it, Buford's coat was being draped over his shoulders and his body stopped shaking.
"What…what are you doing." Baljeet asked.
"You were cold, weren't ya?" Buford said while crossing arms.
"Well, yes…but aren't you cold now?" Baljeet asked.
"Nah, I'm fine I can take it." Buford said, trying sound as tough as he possibly could.
Baljeet looked up at Buford who was now shivering a bit, but was trying his best to hide it. With out giving it a second thought Baljeet wrapped his arm around Buford, and got as close to him as possible.
"Hey!" Buford shouted in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"Well…you were cold were you not?" he repeated Buford's words from before, minus the contractions.
Buford didn't argue and let Baljeet continue to keep his arm around him. Soon Buford proceed to let his own arm wrap around the smaller teenager. At that one moment Buford felt completely content. It was as if he had found something that he was looking for, but was afraid to find. Buford and Baljeet turned there heads to look at each other as they were walking. Suddenly Buford leaned into Baljeet and gave him a quick and gentle kiss. Baljeet was completely taken by surprise. He paused for a second and stared into his former bully's eyes before pulling Buford into a more passionate kiss. This was a new experience for both of them. In an odd way they both felt so alive and at home in the embrace. The only thing they knew for sure was that this was the first time either of them had ever felt this way.
