Miles had been hurrying down the hallway in a now failed attempt to escape the crowd of teens bustling out of their rooms. lunch was soon, so luckily Miles would be able to see his best friend Zachery. they had few classes together. He shifted his back so it wasn't digging into his hip, and was now bouncing familiarly between his shoulder blades on his lower back. the teen reached up run his fingers through his sandy blond hair, a gentle sigh escaping his lips. stormy grey eyes searched the waves of other students until he found Zachery, who was already looking over at him. a crooked smile played on his lips, lighting up his blueish hues. Miles weaved his way over to Zach, then gently bumped his arm with his knuckles. "Hey, dork.

Miles chuckled, looking over at his friend and opening his mouth to respond. it did feel like the year had breezed by quickly. he guessed it had just seemed to go fast because he was with his best friend. but Zachery was now running down the hallway, his sneakers squeaking on the tiled floor as he raced towards his homeroom. a twinge caught Miles' stomach, and he lowered his stormy gaze to the floor. Zachery had been drifting away from Miles lately, getting fidgety and nervous and obviously uncomfortable around him. he was slowly beginning to believe that his best friend simply didn't like him anymore. the boy reached up and brushed aside his blond locks, turning and kicking a locker viciously with his converse. a loud clang rang throughout the room, but others obviously didn't care. After a minute or two of questioning his friendship, he trudged off to his homeroom.

Miles struggled through his last class before lunch, and walked into the cafeteria with no appetite. his grey eyes were still locked on the ground, and he slid into a seat with another heavy sigh. maybe he should just sit next to Seamus today. Zachery was obviously in one of his moods today. what made that boy so nervous? why did he have to scramble away?

         
 

Miles didn't even look up as his friend approached. he bit the inside of his cheek, unable to fathom up words that wouldn't sound rude or dismissive. it shouldn't be this difficult with Zachery. "It's fine. just drop it. you've been like this for a while, I've gotten used to it." his stormy grey eyes flickered up to watch his friend, something like distrust in his darkly tinted hues. Miles didn't know why he felt like Zach couldn't be trusted, but something about his constant surprise absences put the boy on edge.

Zachery's eyes filled with tears as he tried to blink them back.
"I'm sorry." He looked at his friend.
"I'm gay." His tears left his eyes at an alarming rate, shoulders shaking furiously.
Zachery tensed as he awaited his reply.

Miles couldn't say that it wasn't a surprise. his stormy grey eyes widened, shock hitting him like a brick to the chest. his mouth opened, then closed slowly. a muscle in his jaw twitched, then he stood up and grabbed the crying boy's sleeve. "come on." the words were gentle and quiet, a soft chide to get his friend to leave the room so they could talk in private. he tugged Zachery towards the door, starting out of the cafeteria before anyone would see Zach's tears.

He covered his mouth as he followed Miles down a hallway and around a corner. When they came to a stop, Zachery collapsed in tears.He uncovered his mouth and cried out, gripping his sides. "I'm sorry I've been hiding for so long, but I'm here now." He laughed, tears streaming down his face. Still gripping his sides, he stood up. He looked at his friend. Zachery was blushing furiously, eyes wide with fear of judgement.

Miles slowed to a stop. he turned, his gaze flickering over his friend. the boy wrapped his arms around Zachery, resting his chin on the top of the boys head. "it's fine. there's nothing wrong with it, it'll be alright." a little smile flickered over his lips. Miles was extremely happy his friend had come out to him, and hadn't held it in any longer.

Zachery blushed furiously, and felt the warm embrace.
He took two very shaky breaths. There was silence for who knows how
long before Zachery said: "No problem."
~Slowly fade to black vuv~

miles bit the inside of his cheek, then pulled away from Zachery, gently ruffling his friend's hair in an apologetic way. "is that what's been bothering you?" he asked, his stormy grey gaze catching Zach's. if so, Miles found it slightly stupid. sharing this information wouldn't have effected their friendship at all.

"Well, actually, yeah." His icy blue eyes flitted to the floor. Zachery stood up. "we should really get to class, I have algebra or whatever, and I think you probably have literacy or something." He smiled. Zachery fekt as if he had just lifted the weight of the world off from his shoulders.

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
But we don’t talk about it
Dancin' on doin' the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise
Shouldn’t talk about it
Shouldn't talk about it

Coldest winter for me
No sun is shining anymore
The only thing I feel is pain
Caused by absence of you
Suspense is controlling my mind
I cannot find the way out of here

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again  [x]
