I stared at Michael from across the table and smiled. We were eating pancakes, well I think it was pancakes. I wasn't sure since Michael made them himself and I knew he wasn't that of a cook. I stabbed whatever it was with my fork and stuffed it in my mouth. Not Bad. It tasted fine to me.

"I love you." I said with an ear to ear smile. "And I love these… umm…pancakes."

"I love you too." he said . "And they're waffles.." he said frowning.

"Oh.. sorry" I said.

"s' okay." He said. "I don't even get the difference between them, I mean, aside from the shape, they taste the same."

"Yeah." I said with a smile. I admired him once more, looking into his brown eyes and knowing that everything was all good.

Today was the best day of my life. After our earlier kiss and a little more cuddling in the bed, Michael and I knew we were no longer just bestfriends. But we both knew the problem to this. Our relationship would certainly raise eyebrows and admittedly, I was a little scared. Especially when we go to school on Monday.

I was very popular around school and people think I'm really cool. Actually, I am cool… but, me joining the Glee club was a threat to my popularity status. Me being part of the football team balanced that problem.. but when people find out about me and Michael…. We'd get hell in school.

But.. I loved Michael, and apparently he loved me too. Michael wasn't my first serious relationship, but I think I was his. So… by that I would guess he doesn't know much about relationships and how one worked. I would do my best though to work this relationship out, whatever this was.

So, since Michael and I are a couple now, I think, does that make us both gay? I hadn't thought much about homosexuality and actually I didn't really care at all. I only knew one guy who was gay. Maxfield, from Glee club. Although I think I'm the only one who knew.

(Flashback)

I was taking a shower in the boys' locker room after football practice. It was a really tough day and I got really dirty so I wanted to tidy up. I started singing since no one was around anymore, or so I thought.

Honey why are you calling me so late?

It's kinda hard to talk right now

Honey why are you crying, is everything okay?

I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room

Sometimes I wish she was you

I guess we never really moved on

I then started to belt out the chorus.

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

"Blake? Are you in here?" A voice called and I stopped singing. I suddenly felt embarrassed for singing so loud. I wanted to hide and not to answer but eventually, I had to come out soon and the voice seemed to know it was me.

"Yeah." I call out. "Just taking a quick shower." I hurriedly washed the shampoo out of my hair cause I wanted to immediately get out of here. Then I hear footsteps coming towards my shower and I instantly looked at the approaching figure. I relax a little as I saw who it was.

"Oh, hey Maxfield" I say with a smile on my face. I always gave a smile whenever I see people. Some said it's just me showing off how perfect my teeth were but I just wanted to sincerely smile at anyone. It was a friendly gesture for me. I shut the shower off and started to dry myself.

"Hey Blake that was a real-" he started but he stopped as I soon as I stepped out of the shower. I was only wearing a towel and the look he gave me made me feel conscious about my body.

"Is something wrong?" I asked as he gaped at me, staring at my body. I felt uneasy under his stare. He didn't say a word and kept on staring at me.

I stared at Maxfield dumbfounded. What the hell? He suddenly stepped towards me. "Max… what… are you.. " I was cut short as he kissed me on the lips. I was completely taken aback on what was happening and I wasn't able to react. My body however, responded weirdly as heat started to course through my body. A rush of sensations washed over me and all I wondered was why? Why was this a turn-on for me? I felt his hard on through my towel and he continued kissing me until I accidentally dropped my bottle of shampoo making an echoing thud in the room.

He immediately broke the kiss and stared at me. Maxfield then began to blush.

"I'm so sorry Blake… I didn't mean to.." He fumbled.

"Max.. You're gay?" I asked in a whisper. He nodded slowly.

"Please don't tell anyone." He pleaded. "I haven't told anyone yet. Please!" He begged as he grabbed my hand. His eyes conveyed so much emotion that I couldn't just ignore him.

"Okay." I nodded "I promise I won't." He nodded in acknowledgement and hurriedly left me there. I stood there at a lost for words. What the fuck just happened? I thought to myself. I stared at the way Maxfield went and wondered what was that all about? I sighed heavily and I decided it was time for me to go as well.

(Flashback Ends)

"What are you thinking about?" Michael asked as he cocked his head to the side as he studied my expression. I quickly shook my head and gave him a smile.

"Nothing.. just how much awesome this weekend will be." I said. That got me a smile from him and I couldn't help but want to hug him. He looked so cute.

After breakfast, I slumped on the couch while Michael said he'd finish homework first. I flicked on the TV, randomly passing through channels but not really looking for anything in particular. The images on the TV were a blur, I tried, I really did to occupy myself but I didn't want to watch anything. I wanted to be with Michael. He kept on occupying my mind the whole morning.

"Are you done yet?" I call from the couch. "I'm booooooooooored." I said draggingly.

"I just started." He said flatly. He was in the dining room, stacked up on the table with books and paperwork.

"You're no fun." I said as I crossed my arms in my chest. "Maybe I should've just stayed home."

I hear him sigh and then his chair moved and I assumed he stood up. I smiled a little but pretended to still be angry. I heard footsteps as he made his way to me and I couldn't help but feel happy on the inside. He then came to stand in front of me.

"What do you want to do?" Michael asked as he eyed me. I continued crossing my arms and I turned my head to the side.

"Hmmph." I grunted as I pretended to snob him.

"Oh come on Blake" He said. "You can't be that mad already?" I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Just go back to your homework. Maybe you can kiss and cuddle with that." I said a little detached. His mouth gaped at that and he pretended to look hurt.

"That's unfair." he called.

"No, what's unfair is you inviting me over and when I'm here, you go to do homework."

"But this is due on Monday." Michael argued. "And how about 'your' homework? Mr Woodlee would get mad at you..again."

"That's what I have you for." I said grinning mischievously. His mouth popped open and he stared at me.

"You're unbelievable, Blake Alexander Jenner."

"I know." I said as I bit my lip and held my smile. I pulled him by his good hand and planted a kiss on his forehead. "Now go and finish that homework, Mr. one-arm." I joked. His right arm was still in a cast. According to his doctor, in a few days, he'd be back to normal.

"What about you?" He asked concerned. "What are you gonna do till then?"

"I'm going to take a walk first." I said.

He frowned at this. "How long will you be gone?" He asked as he pouted.

I kissed him lightly on the lips "Not long. I promise I'd be back before you know it." I said with a smile. He smiled back.

I stood up and stretched a little. "Don't miss me too much." I said.

"I'll try not to." He replied laughing.

I then put on my shoes and made my way to the door. "I love you." I called as I held the doorknob.

"I love you too." Michael countered.

I went outside and closed the door behind me. I started to walk down the block still feeling high about my new found love for Michael. I couldn't believe that in a span of 2 weeks of just knowing him, I was in this position now. From being his first friend to his first… boyfriend? Was I his boyfriend now and he mine? I didn't know and I didn't care, as long as I knew I loved him and he loved me too.

I made my way to Lima's Amnesty Park. I wanted to unwind and enjoy the rest of the morning there. I started to walk around the park and smile at the beautiful surroundings around me. The luscious green grass that looked like a sea of green waters stretched the ground of the park. I smiled as I saw the birds chirping sweetly, perched on the oak trees. Such a beautiful morning, I thought to myself. I always found it relaxing here and if ever I had to clear my mind and think about stuff, this was the place I went to.

I suddenly heard a lovely strumming of an acoustic guitar. I stopped walking and listened intently to the music. I followed the sound, letting my ears take me to where the sound was coming from. Behind this huge oak tree, I saw Nellie sprawled on a mat behind a tree with her guitar. With her were Abraham and the new girl, Marissa. They had their backs to me so they didn't see me as I tiptoed quietly to them.

"Mind if I join you guys?" I asked. They jumped as soon as I spoke.

"Oh God! Dammit Blake! You scared the shit out of us." Nellie exclaimed as she punched me lightly on the knee.

I smiled at all of them, like I always did. Abraham raised an eyebrow at me, Marissa smiled back and Nellie stared at me knowingly for a while before smiling too.

"What are you guys all doing here?" I asked.

"Well, me and Abe were jamming and we saw Marissa walking around and invited her to jam with us." Nellie said with a friendly smile to Marissa. Nellie looked exceptionally beautiful today, more than normal. Her hair was brushed up and tied down with a red bandana and I couldn't help but admire how pretty she looked today. I stared at her, completely mesmerized by her beauty.

"Hey aren't you supposed to be at that Michael kid's house?" Abraham asked. That snapped me out of my dazed state. Michael, I thought. Why was I looking at Nellie like this, I was with Michael right? It's wrong to like two persons at the same time, right? Then again, being in a same sex relationship wasn't exactly right. I was getting confused thinking about this stuff and my head started to hurt.

"Earth to Blake Jenner." Abraham said. "What's with your head dazing off into space?" I quickly shook my head and recomposed myself.

"Sorry. Yeah, I came from Michael's. I just took a walk while he's busy doing homework." I said.

"Homework? On a Saturday? Total Nerd." Abraham commented.

"Hey Michael's actually pretty cool. He's cooler than you, as a matter of fact." I argued. Abraham rolled his eyes at my quip. I looked at Nellie and she smiled and I took it she liked me standing up for Michael, or was it just standing up to Abraham? I shrugged it off.

"Hey, I'm really sorry guys but… I got to go." Marissa said. I had totally forgotten that she was here. "My father will probably be wondering where I am right now."

"No, no… it's okay" Abraham assured her. "Come on, I'll accompany you on your way home."

"Whoa… Since when did you become such a gentleman Abe?" I joked. Nellie and Marissa laughed and Abraham gave me his death glare.

"Fuck off, Blake." He hissed. He and Marissa then bid farewell to us and left me and Nellie there.

I sat across from her on the mat and smiled.

"Don't tell me you're going too." I said.

"Not yet."

"Found anything about the Lily situation?" I asked.

"Well for one thing, I studied the cuts on her wrists. It wasn't glass. It was too clean and the broken pieces of the mirror weren't soaked in Lily's blood." She said analytically.

"So whoever did this, threatened Lily to lie about her injury?" I asked. She nodded slowly. "Why?"

"I don't know Blake…" She said sadly. She quickly shrugged it off and smiled. "How about a song Blake?"

"Sure."

"What song would you like to sing then?" I thought about it for a while and then it hit me. The best song that would describe how I felt right now.

"Lucky."

"Well, okay then." Nellie said with a smile. She started strumming. "I wonder who's on your mind right now." she said playfully.

Do you hear me,

I'm talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

I looked at her as I sang and somehow, the look on her face was as if she thought I was singing it to her. I was actually thinking about Michael, but heck, how should she know about that.

Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

We both sang the chorus and as we did all thoughts about Michael disappeared. All there was Nellie and me.

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes

(They don't know how long it takes)

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I'll wait for you I promise you, I weeeeehheeell and I!

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday.

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

She stared at me as the song ended breathing slowly. Her golden brown eyes, breathtakingly beautiful. I held her gaze and I couldn't help but feel attracted to her. She looked like an angel that fell from the sky. We stayed like that for a second, staring at each other, and in a heartbeat, our lips were against each other.
