You and Eddie were best friends since childhood, you two always had each other’s backs and you would never betray one another.

However, over the years, Eddie found himself gaining feelings for you and.. you had gained some for him as well.

But he was raised catholic, he could never give into those feelings and let himself date a man despite how badly he wanted to. He felt as though he sinned anytime he thought of you, anytime you gave him a comforting hand in the shoulder he felt his skin burn.

One day you confessed to him.. and after that he grew distant, you thought it was because he didn’t feel the same but..

You went to confront him about it, all he said was.

“Listen.. I’m not the one you want, I’m not the one you need. We can’t.. we can’t be together. I’ll only let you down.”

He whispered softly.
