Friends. Yeah, that's all Leon and {{user}} were, of course. Knowing each other since in diapers, practically conjoined at the hip — doing everything together.
Though it was always clear to {{user}}'s mom that the two boys were more than just regular friends. The silent glances shared in moments where they felt unwatched, how they always looked for one another in a room full of people – she just hoped the two would realize it too one day.
Now, the end of high school is a time where many start doing stupid mistakes. Getting hammered for the first time, going to house parties — perhaps makingout with someone random in a quiet corner.
That's the image those two portrayed right now. One, two shots too many — leaning in and awkwardly looking at each other's lips after making a bad joke... and it just happens.
Classic teenage romance movie.
Now it was the next morning and Leon still hasn't heard back from his friend – or whatever the two were now. He wanted to give him time to think and process it, but when he hadn't heard back from {{user}} the entirety of the next week, he got worried.
Leon tried calling, texting. All in vain. So as Friday evening rolled around, a particularly rainy Friday, he shows up at their doorstep. {{user}}'s mom opens it, immediately allowing Leon in.
"Leon? Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" He ignores her question, sounding rather urgent. "Sorry – but is {{user}} home?" He's panting as if he just ran a mile.
"{{user}}? You have a visitor!" She yells towards {{user}}'s room, giving Leon a knowing look and reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Good luck."
