Do You Love Me?


Jack Phillips laid in his bed staring at his best friend Clu Bell. Him and Clu were sharing a room inside the Phillips home. He sighed. God, why do I have to love him so much? Why am I like this? I just want to be straight. Lord, I love him so much, but he's straight so I know he doesn't feel the same way.
Jack looked at the clock on the dresser. It read 2:17am.
"Still awake?" said Clu, turning towards Jack.
"Oh! You scared me," said Jack.
"Sorry, bro." Clu grinned.
He is so cute when he smiles... thought Jack.
"I can't fall asleep after watching that horror flick. I'd probably have nightmares," said Jack.
Clu laughed. "You didn't have to watch it."
"I know," said Jack, smiling.
"Wanna sleep with me tonight? I can protect you from the monsters," said Clu, grinning.
Is he serious? thought Jack. He must be kidding. "Well, okay. Thanks," said Jack. He got out of his bed and climbed into Clu's bed.
Clu smiled contently running his fingers through Jack's curly hair. He pulled Jack closer to him. He rubbed his hand up and down Jack's back.
"That feel good?" asked Clu.
"Yep," said Jack. He savored the feeling of Clu's warm hands on his body.
Clu tried to sleep, but he couldn't either, and it wasn't because of the horror movie. It was because of Jack. Clu secretly loved his best friend, and couldn't get him off his mind for the past few weeks. That gorgeous teen with the black curly hair and the sweet personality invaded his thoughts every second.
He looked at Jack. He had already fallen asleep.
"Goodnight, dude," whispered Clu, and he soon drifted off to sleep.


"Clu! Jack! Wake up!" called Annie from the kitchen. It was morning and Molly had prepared breakfast. Mr. Bell was also at the kitchen table.
"Guys!" Annie sighed and went into their room.
"Guys, wake up..." She trailed off when she spotted Clu and Jack sleeping in the same bed. Clu's arm was around Jack and Jack laid atop of Clu's chest.
She slowly walked up to them. She gently pushed them. "Guys..."
The two friends woke up. "Oh, hi Annie..." groaned Jack.
"What's up, Annie..." said Clu groggily.
"Um, what are you two doing sleeping in the same bed...and what's with the touching?" asked Annie.
The boys looked at themselves. They quickly got out of bed.
"Err, um..." said Clu.
"I-It's not what you think," said Jack, laughing nervously.
"N-no, not at all!" said Clu.
"Okay..." said Annie. "Breakfast is ready, by the way." She stared at them in a strange way, and left the room.
"Heh! Can you believe her?" asked Jack.
"I know. Heh, yeah, right, like me and you would ever....do something like that," said Clu.
"Yeah, as if," said Jack.
"Me and you are just buddies, right bro?" said Clu, grinning. He put his arm around Jack in a friendly way.
"Right! Buddies," said Jack flatly.
Clu left the room. Jack laid down on his bed and sighed. "Just buddies..." he said silently. He picked himself up and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.


"Goodnight!" said Molly.
"Goodnight!" said the rest of the people in the house.
Jack looked at Clu. He was reading a philosophy book. Jack giggled silently. He never expected Clu to be interested in such a thing.
I have to tell him... thought Jack. Gotta let this thing out. Then Jack considered the consequences. He imagined Clu laughing, as if he was joking. He then imagined Clu freaking out, and breaking his friendship with Jack. Jack did not want to lose Clu. He meant the world to him.
But I'll never know until I take action... thought Jack.
Jack sighed. He got out from under the covers of his bed and sat at the edge. "Clu?"
Clu looked up from his book. "Yeah, dude?"
"Uh, I have to tell you something," said Jack.
"OK, bro," said Clu. He put down his philosophy book, climbed out of bed and sat next to Jack.
"What's up?" asked Clu, looking at his best friend.
"Well..." Jack leaned towards Clu and kissed him.
"Dude!" said Clu excitedly. "I didn't know you felt this way!"
"You're not freaked out?" asked Jack.
"No way! I like you too!" said Clu.
Jack beamed. He kissed Clu's soothing lips again. I cannot believe this is happening! thought Jack.
Their lips were locked for a few minutes before Jack pulled away. "I'm tired."
"Me too, dude," said Clu, smiling.
"Goodnight, Clu," said Jack.
"G'night," Clu gave Jack one more kiss.
They both climbed into their individual beds and fell asleep blissfully.
Little did they know Annie was spying on them through an open crack of the door...
