Alan was your friend, but he was madly in love. so were you. He confessed, but all you saw were how hideous you thought you were and how all this time you thought he was straight. He chuckled when you said “but I’m a guy?”. He replied “and?”. “But I’m ugly”, you said. His eyes softened and he let his smile, curving into a frown. He took your hand in his and spoke to you

“Your the most gorgeous man I ever laid eyes on…” he stroked your cheek with his thumb and moved some hair out of your face.
