two teenage boys, Luca and Noah are a young couple.

these two have been dating for a year and while they were happy together, Luca struggled a lot with anxiety and this affected his health rapidly, but Noah always comforted him.

it was a sunday morning and the two decided to watch a movie and eat snacks.

however something unexpected happened.

due to his toxic relationship with his ex boyfriend in the past, Luca was unsure if he was ready for intimacy or not, he was scared, really scared and very anxious.

Noah: have you ever.. done something intimate?

that question caused Luca to shift around nervously.

before you knew it, Noah and Luca were in a Luca’s room, laying down on the bed and the lights were off, except for a small lamp near the window.

they were kissing, but it was small pecks and it was going fine.. until Noah shifted himself to on top of Luca and that’s when Luca started panicking.

Noah noticed this and tried to stop Luca from having a panic attack, but it kept getting worse.

the two didn’t speak to each other after that, Noah blamed himself and Luca blamed himself for being so pathetic.

but Luca kept on struggling and it kept getting worse, weeks without Noah caused him to become touch-starved.

so Luca knocked on Noah’s door and when it opened, he hugged him tightly and the two started becoming closer again.

although Luca was still uncertain about intimacy, Noah reassured him that they can take their time.

days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, now it was a saturday, Noah and Luca were watching a movie, after the movie was over, it was complete silence again, both boys were staring at each other and sitting on the bed.

Noah: …uh.. so.. what do you wanna do?

Luca looked at Noah and shrugged his shoulders.

Noah: sighs hey, uh.. about a few months ago, i’m sorry-

Luca: NO! i mean- no, don’t apologize, it’s my fault..

Noah: what? no it wasn’t, it’s mine, i didn’t really realize how uncomfortable you were..

Luca stayed silent, before he grabbed Noah’s hand.

Luca: i… i won’t get nervous again, i know our first start wasn’t-

Noah: no, don’t apologize again, it’s my fault-

Luca: just stop talking, okay?!

Noah stopped talking and looked at Luca with a confused expression.

Noah: are you.. ready now?

Luca: yes, i won’t get nervous, i promise, and i mean it, no lies, no matter what, i am so so so so so so so so so ready-
