Maybe Next May

The drive to Alex's was quiet yet peaceful. We didn't need to talk, I was perfectly happy just knowing that he didn't care that I was gay. When we pulled into his driveway I couldn't help but stare at his house. It was freaking huge. It had two floors, there was a balcony coming off of one window on the second floor, it was small but big enough for someone to sit on and look out over the town. It had a two door garage coming off the side of it which we didn't park in, probably because Alex's parents cars were in there. He waved his hand in front of my face then laughed when I looked at him wide eyed.

"Close your mouth you'll catch flies."

I rolled my eyes and got out of the car, he followed soon after. He locked up his car then motioned for me to follow. He unlocked the front door and led us inside. It was even more amazing inside. There was a small hallway, to the right was a small wall, probably to disconnect it from the hallway, that this giant couch was press onto, there were two rocking chairs on the other side of the room, all facing a giant flat screen. On the other side there was a kitchen with a small square table and four chairs around it, it was pressed against to the giant bay window.

Alex had taken off his shoes so I did the same, I set my skateboard near them so I wouldn't forget it. I heard a small barking coming down the hall. I looked up and saw Alex on his knees picking up a tiny dog.

"He's so cute!"

Alex grinned at my complement of his dog and held him closer to me, obviously so I could pet him, which I did.

"His name is Sebastian."

Alex set him down and the dog ran off the explore the house, which I kind of wanted to do also. Of course I didn't and followed Alex upstairs which I'm guessing was where his room was, just like at my house. There were two rooms, on was near the top of the stairs, which we passed, and the other was at the end of the hallway. Alex stopped in front of it and looked at me nervously.

"Uh, fair warning, it's kind of a mess. So sorry."

We walked in and I kind of wanted to laugh. This was a mess to him? There were only a couple band tees on his floor, a pair of jeans, and his bed wasn't made. He started to bend over to pick up the clothes but I stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder and laughing.

"It's fine, trust me. My room is normally ten times worse, this is nothing"

He gave a sheepish smile then keeled down in front of his TV to pick out a movie. I took this time to look around his room. Band posters were everywhere, covering every inch of one wall. The next had album covers which, much like the posters, covered the whole wall too. Every so often I would see a concert ticket stub tacked onto his wall. There was a small night stand next to his, what looked like, king sized bed, a wardrobe was in the corner of the room and a mirror hung on the wall near it.

I saw that he had two guitars, one electric and one acoustic. I couldn't help but smile. I glanced back at the band posters and saw we liked a lot of the same music. His room was the one with the balcony connected to it. There was also another door connected to his room, maybe a small bathroom? His TV was a flat screen but it didn't hang on a wall, instead it rested on a small table that had two baskets under it, one Alex was looking through and it had movies, the other I think held videos games considering there was a PS3 next to it.

"Are you done judging my room yet?"

I couldn't help but blush and look down.

"S-sorry I was just-"

I stopped when he started laughing.

"I was kidding. Lighten up, no need to be so stiff."

He popped the DVD into the player and started it up. He then told me he would be right back and disappeared down the stairs. I waited, just looking at my hands, until the lights went off and the only light left in the room came from the TV and the window. Alex came over and put the bowl of popcorn next to me before going over and closing his curtains. Since they were black they basically blocked out all the natural light.

He sat down on the floor near the end of his bed, basically by my feet. I moved down so I was sitting next to him as the movies start screen loaded.

"Peter Pan?"

I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips.

"What? It's a classic! I'll let you chose next time you come over."

I couldn't help but grin and nod. He basically just invited me over again! As the movie continued we ate the popcorn. About half way through we both reached into the bowl and I swear it was like a stupid, sappy romance novel. Our hands touched and we both yanked them back, our heads whipping to look at each other. That's when I watched as his gaze dropped from my eyes to my lips. No freaking way.
