Jack's POV
it was Friday and today was the first day of presentations. I was so nervous, because if Alex and I were picked for today, I'd be reading my opinion on love to the whole class. Usually it wouldn’t be a big deal but it’s not just my opinion; it's my love letter to Alex, it's my confession.

I sat in English class sitting beside Alex, nervously. "Jack and Alex, you're up." Alec and I stood up, my hands sweating. Alex was the one to start. "So you're all going to be disappointed in me because well, I don't know what love is. I've only loved one person in my life, and it’s so hard to describe it." He said looking at me. "I can't describe it because there are not enough words. But, I know that love is definitely when you meet the right person." He finally tore his gaze from mine. "I bet Jack has something way stated though, so let him talk." He mumbled, looking away.

"Okay uh...yeah. Love is when you meet the right person. People think that love is a sensation, and that it’s magical. Whether it’s based on physical or emotional sensation. And when you fall in love, it's just the magic working. But, I don't think so. Because people fall out of love. So what does that mean, the magic dies? No, it depends on who you fall in love with.

Why? Because magic is spontaneous. The magic doesn't die, the love does. And love can be spontaneous too, when Mr and Mrs right come together. Or... Mr and Mr right." I say, looking at Alex. "That brings me to my next point. Love knows no gender. Love isn't a choice, not really. You can't help who you fall in love with. The only thing that's your choice is if you accept it and act on it.

Talking scientific, love is a force of nature; something that just happens, because it's meant to. But if you're asking for my opinion, love isn't any of these things, except for it not being a choice. That part is true. My opinion of love is this. Love is you and your best friend; the relationship that you share. Love is when you can tell each other anything and everything, no matter how serious. You trust each other, and you're comfortable with each other. It’s when you look at them and you can tell right away that something is wrong. Love isn't just sexual. If it’s only sexual, that's not love" I look at all the girls who ever took advantage of Alex.

"That's all I can say, because I'd be going on forever. But what I just described is how I feel about Alex. He's by best friend, and I trust him with everything. Everyone who ever took advantage of my Alex for sex, that wasn't love. Me standing up for Alex, comforting him after the multiple broken hearts... That's love." I look at Alex and his mouth is open wide. The rest of the class was the same.

"I've been in love with Alex since grade 7. We're in grade 11 now. And if it was magic, then the magic hasn't died yet; it never will. Because I am completely, 100% in love with Alex, for who he is." I look at Alex again. "I love you Alex, and this is my confession. I'm sick of watching you hurt yourself, trying to make it work with all these girls. You never realized that the one for you was by your side all along. And though you hurt me endless amounts of time, I still stuck with you. That's love, everyone. This," I motioned between me and Alex. "Is love."

Alex smiled softly at me, walking closer. "I love you Alex, and I Always will." Alex hugged me tightly. "I love you too, Jack." He pulled away and kissed my lips so softly, I wasn't sure if he even touched me. Everyone clapped and cheered and the teacher calmed them down. "Jack, that was perfect. A plus. And... Congratulations." I smiled at Alex, kissing him again before taking my seat, Alex behind me.

When school was over, we were in my bedroom. "Jack that was amazing. That was so brave of you. I can't believe you confessed your love for me in front of the whole class." I shrugged. "It was no big deal." He shook his head. "I don't deserve you." I leaned in and kissed him quickly. "You do. Alex, we deserve each other. It was meant to be, Lex. I love you, you love me. We're happy." He laughed. "Yeah, we are."

He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back, biting his lower lip. He moaned and pushed me back onto my bed, crawling on top of me. He ran his tongue against mine. I could taste him and I moaned. He explored my mouth as his hands explored my body. My hands pressed his lower back, causing his hips to fall against mine. I pulled my lips from his. "Alex. I love you so much." He hummed against my neck, placing gentle, feather-like kisses all along my neck and jaw.

I ran my hands under his shirt, lightly gliding my fingers along his back, making him shiver. He moved his kisses towards my face, kissing every inch. I giggled and he kissed my lips once more. "I love you too Jack. And I'll never stop. I should have realized it was about you all along." I smiled and grabbed his face. "You're the best boyfriend ever. I love you so much." He blushed. "Boyfriend? It's official now?" I nodded. "Forever." He smiled.

"This is going to be a challenge, I know that. We were -and still are- best friends. It will be hard to work this out properly, but it will sure as hell be easier than being with any of those girls. They were a challenge, trying to please them all the time, pretending I cared, or that I loved them. This is a different type of challenge that I'm willing to take. But I'll always love you." I just smiled and kissed him.

"And...I want you to show me what real love is Jack. Because I know you're capable of it. Please, show me." He pleaded. I smiled sadly.

"I’ll do just that Lex. And I'll always love you too."
