Um, I would have made this much longer, but I've been pressed for time. Tomorrow is my last day of school, and Friday I graduate. I'll have much more time next week for chapters! I promise!


About a month went by. Nothing out of the ordinary happened between John and Dave, besides for the fact that they both had strong feelings for each other; John's feelings were stronger. John became one of those good best friends that almost seemed to be like a bromance. Dave allowed John to cling onto his arm, hold his hand, and, sometimes, hugs.

~Study Hall~

Dave sat at a table with John and another boy and girl, albeit, they kept to themselves while Dave and John talked to each other barely above a whisper. Dave had a piece of paper under his left hand while his right held onto a blue mechanical pencil that John gave him.

The blond looked up at John even though the raven couldn't see his eyes. "We can stay the night in this cabin that my bro's boyfriend rented for a getaway. I figured we could have a best bro's weekend- an ironic one where we can get away from here."

John giggled-snorted. "If there's a TV, I can bring movies that we can watch!"

"Hella! I'm sure there is a TV. Just tell your dad you're just coming to my place. I know that he'd say no since we're not having any 'rent supervision."

John nodded. A whole weekend with just Dave and him! Oh yes! This was all he ever wanted!

~Friday Evening~

Dave and John traveled for about an hour or more.

They walked inside the cabin, flicked the lights on, and dropped things off in one of the bedrooms. It was a little dusty, but there weren't any bugs surprisingly- well there probably was bugs but they weren't seen.

Once everything was unpacked, John grabbed Dave by the hand and led him to the living room while in his other he held a movie. "I brought Ghostbusters, Davey~"

"Alright," Dave said taking a seat on the black couch. There was a wide screen television that sat in front of them on top of a mahogany table. John released his hand from Dave's and placed the DVD inside the DVD player. He quickly returned to Dave's side with his head against Dave's shoulder.

The movie began to play and Dave watched with disinterest. "Hey Dave?" John said during the intro of the movie.

"Yeah?" Dave said.

"How do you let someone know that you like them?"

"You can flirt with them. Make the first move, too. You don't wanna wait too long because they may find someone else."

John scowled a little. He wouldn't let Dave like anyone else!

"Dave," John said sitting up on his knees while he placed his hand on Dave's shoulder. "I like you." He leaned forward and took the Strider's lips with his own. Dave's eyes grew wide, however, he kissed John back.

Dave wrapped his arms around John's waist, pulling him closer.

John grinned against Dave's mouth while his arms wrapped around Dave's neck, kissing him harder. Dave pecked John's lips softly then he pulled away to breathe, and he stared into John's blue eyes.

Oh...he just kissed him. John kissed him. Dave knew that he had feelings for John, but he didn't think he'd ever make a move himself. John sure did though.

"John, I like you too," Dave said smiling softly at him.

John cupped Dave's cheeks and kissed his lips again. "No, Davey. I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you much longer than we've been best friends."

Dave shivered slightly feeling the warmth in his heart. Oh, he was so happy! He really was! He also was in love with John- he hadn't actually been in love with anyone else. Bro love was different. Much different.

"I think I'm in love with you, too," Dave said sweetly. He pecked his lips lightly then a kiss to his nose.

John giggle-snorted happily. "I knew you would love me~" he purred thumbing Dave's cheek idly.

"How did you know?" Dave asked staring into his the blues that dripped like melting turquoise.

"Because...if you didn't love me, I would teach you to love me," John said with a hard stare.

Dave stared at John. Was he crazy…? Was he being serious?!


I will have much longer chapters I promise! I Strider promise!

If you want more, please review this! I just don't want to type a story that no one will read.
