**Just a short chapter tonight, but didn't feel like writing any more tonight and felt like this was a nice stopping point. Enjoy :)**
Kenny felt as if every fear left him at that moment. What did it matter? School, family, friends, none of it mattered, for he had Kyle. Even at the age of 5, when he had first seen the ginger haired boy walk through the door of Kindergarten, that beauty had struck him, a radiance that he'd never seen in anyone since. As he got to know Kyle, the love had grown, as he noticed the little things, like his dazzling smile and the way that he played with the ears of his hat when he was nervous. Not just that, but his personality. Kenny hadn't been used to being cared for, growing up with a father who was never there and a mother who spent all her time trying to fight her addictions, but failing. Yet, Kyle had always been friendly, checked if something was wrong when he looked down and even let him copy his school work. If it wasn't for Kyle, Kenny wouldn't have even reached the fifth grade…
Kenny leant further into the kiss and as he did so, began to slide his hand down Kyle's back. However, as his hand reached the waistband of Kyle's trousers, Kyle broke the kiss and pulled away. Opening his eyes sleepily, Kenny saw Kyle securing his hat upon his head, standing up and moving towards the window.
"Wait!" Kenny said urgently, "We were just getting started!"
"I… Well, it's just… Maybe…," Kyle spluttered, trying to find the words.
"Tomorrow!" he finally exploded, "Come around to mine tomorrow. I'll make it worth your while!"
Kenny grinned. "Yeah, I'll be there. And you better, Broflovski…"
Kyle returned the smile, then opened the window and slipped out into the night. Kenny sighed, as he neatened the papers on his desk and placed his chemistry text book in front of him. He began to write…
Outside, Kyle strolled slowly back along the footpath as he attempted to work out why he had been so stupid. He loved Kenny and Kenny loved him, so why did he go and fuck it up by leaving. Maybe he didn't love Kenny enough? Maybe he thought he wasn't enough? Kyle stopped. Of course he loved Kenny. And he'd never had a low self-esteem, so why would he think that he didn't deserve him. No, it was fear. Kyle had never seen himself as gay before, but this was the transformation, the point of no return. Once he and Kenny had taken the final leap, there was no going back.
Could he do it? He wasn't sure. It was a big choice to ask of someone so young, but Kyle knew in his heart what he should do. And how could he deny it?
