There was a knock on the front door. Then another. "Connor, I know you're inside. Open the door, please, I want to talk." Michael's voice carried from downstairs, causing Connor to open his eyes. Guilt had glued him to his bed. He didn't want to face him, not after the sh*tshow he caused. Who just randomly kisses someone?! "Connor... really, I just want to talk." Connor sighed, they'd have to talk about it sometime. He walked downstairs and opened the door, letting Michael in.

"Hey Mikey..." Connor said quietly, gazing at the ground. Michael looked at him, expression concerned. "My room's upstairs..." He took Michael's hand and led him back up the stairs. Once inside, Connor closed his door. They sat down on his bed together.

"Connie... did you skip your last few classes? Just because we kissed? Well, you kissed me. I've been looking everywhere for you at school." Connor looked at his hands. "To tell y-"

"YES! I skipped! I couldn't face you. I went and f**ked up because I kissed you! I wasn't planning on going to school tomorrow but now you've shown up at my house." Connor sighed. "I'm so sorry if I ruined this kind of friendship we have just because I couldn't f**king control myself and ended up f**king kissing you and being an utter f**kup in general!" Michael grabbed Connor's hand.

"I like you."

"W-What?" Connor's eyes widened.

"I like you, Connor Murphy. I wanted to tell you I was fine with the kiss, if a bit surprised. It's what I've been secretly hoping would happen some day. Obviously not in the exact way it happened. It was unexpected, but I wasn't repulsed by it. I've wanted to tell you I've liked you for a while and this random kiss seems like the perfect opportunity. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't found you attractive since that fateful day. But as we've gotten to know each other that attraction didn't go away and I knew it was a crush. I've wanted to tell you all of this for so long."

"I-I like you too. It was the reason I'd even kissed you in the first place. I got caught up in your eyes and I couldn't help myself. That was an impulsive move and I hope you can forgive me for it. I've liked you for a while as well, I've gone on believing you'd never like me back. Jared would not shut up about it though. He's so f**king annoying when it comes to that." Michael chuckled a bit.

"You should've heard Jeremy going on and on about it! He wouldn't leave it alone. But that's what friends are for, aren't they?"

"Thankfully Evan never went to the same lengths as Jared though. He'd tease me in his own way. Oh and I think I should do something to make it up to you. Michael, may I kiss you?" Connor asked. Michael blushed and fiddled with his glasses before nodding. Connor smiled and then kissed him, softly, and Michael kissed back. When he broke the kiss off, Michael looked at Connor.

"It's nice to not be caught off guard this time," he laughed, making a joke. Connor blushed with embarrassment and guilt. "Oof. Too soon?" asked Michael when he saw that. Connor merely lay back on his bed while Michael remained sitting.

"It's fine Mikey," said Connor looking at the ceiling. "So.. what does this make us now?" Michael turned onto his stomach and lay on Connor's bed with him.

"You tell me!" Michael said, clearly joking. Connor playfully glared at him and pretended to tackle him on the bed and somehow ended up lying skewly on top of Michael's back. He laughed a bit.

"Does this make us boyfriends?" He asked, his long hair falling into his eyes, making it difficult to see Michael underneath him. Michael looked up at Connor.

"Is The Legend of Zelda not named after the player character?" Michael replied, smirking. Connor narrowed his eyes.

"You are aware the only games I'm somewhat familiar with are Pokémon and Mario Kart, right?" Connor asked, looking at him with a flat expression. Michael looked horrified for a second but then smirked again.

"Wow, Connie, I'm going to have to introduce you more into the wonderful world of gaming!"

"You haven't answered my question yet Michael. Does this make us boyfriends?" Connor repeated his previous question, a bit annoyed but smiling.

"Is Pikachu Pokémon's mascot?" Michael asked. Connor rolled his eyes, though he was smiling.

"He is. So that means we're boyfriends, right?" Michael's smirk widened.

"Yep, we're boyfriends. We're dating." Michael smiled. "And our first date, playing The Legend of Zelda at my house."

"God, you're such a nerd."

"I take that as a compliment." That statement made Connor laugh a bit at his new boyfriend. His.. boyfriend. "So, Connie what do you want to do as our first thing as boyfriends?"

"Well, I really want to kiss you again," Connor said, smirking a bit himself. Michael nodded.

"Do you now? Well, you may kiss me." Connor then kissed Michael, more passionately the second time.

They were boyfriends. And they were kissing...
