I felt my heart beating out of my chest. I had told myself all these years that I wasn't bisexuell. But being in the arms of the man that I know I had feelings for… and feeling the most happiness that I had in my life because he was touching me… I couldn't deny it.
I quickly pulled away from Danny's embrace and he looked at me quizzically, I couldn't hide the truth from the one person I loved more than anything in this world. The truth had to come out. Otherwise, I'd spend the rest of my life carrying it with me.
"Danny," I said to him, my voice barely a whisper. "I know that you probably don't want to hear this. I know you're straight but I have to be selfish right now, because I don't think that I'd ever forgive myself I didn't say this to you. The truth is, I have feelings for you. Romantic feelings. I guess I've always had feelings for you, but I just never admitted it to myself. I never realized it. Until now."
The words came out of me, and I knew that I could never take them back. Those few sentences would alter the course of our relationship forever. My heart sank. Danny looked at me, and didn't say anything for a few moments. I couldn't read what he was thinking. A part of me was afraid that he'd get mad and leave. What he said next really surprised me.
"I know," Danny said to me, smiling a little. "I've always known."
"What?" I asked, confused."How did you know? I didn't even know!"
Danny shrugged and laughed a little. "Dude, I see the way that women look at you. If you wanted, you can get a lot of them. But here you are, day after day hanging out with me. I'm the first person you talk to in the morning, and the last person you talk to at night. It was pretty obvious."
I was getting a little mad then. He had known this whole time? "Why didn't you say anything?" I asked.
Danny looked embarrassed then. I could see that his cheeks were turning a little red. "Well because. I-" he trailed off, and looked away.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"I know that I'm straight. Well, I think I'm straight. But we hang out so much. So very much. And you're a really, really good friend. Like, you're always there for me. And sometimes it gets confusing. And sometimes I want to do something," Danny said.
Now I was really confused. "Do something?" I asked. "Like what?"
Danny didn't answer me. Instead, he looked directly at me, pulled me closer to him, and he kissed me right on the lips. I was surprised, and I froze. But he started kissing me more, and I opened my mouth to let his tongue in. I couldn't believe this was happening. My heart did cartwheels in my chest.
Danny pulled away from me. "I'd been wanting to try that with you for a long time now," he said.
I tried to catch my breath. "I've been wanting you to try that for a long time also," I told him.
Before I could say more, Danny pulled me closer to him again, and started kissing me passionately. I was in heaven.
