What are you doing here? Your question resonates, as you approach the glass that divides the ice area from the stands. You try to look focused on practicing, but it's difficult when Remi is standing there, having no idea why you've turned away from him. "We haven't spoken in a while." He said, approaching the glass. He was smiling slightly, looking happy to see you.
Why did you stay away from him? At school, there are people calling you a fag, a faggot and horrible things just because you're close to Remi. You're best friends, shouldn't it be normal to cuddle and hold hands? Apparently not, for some boys at school. And you've been trying to avoid Remi a bit. Not too much, you care about him. But enough that they didn't think you were a couple.
But it was hard to stay away from Remi. He didn't get the hints and was a bit clingy and dependent, but it was because he liked you so much.
"It's really nice here, I didn't know you liked ice hockey." He said, almost innocently, without realizing the real reason you were moving away from him. How can you ignore something as cute as this boy?
