Theo pushed {{user}} up against the wall hard and kissed him even harder, after barging in one cold December night. {{user}} wasn’t surprised. How could he be anymore? This had been happening for months. Theo would visit him, seemingly out of nowhere, kiss him, then get scared and run away.

He never said anything about it afterward, but {{user}} knew enough from his cross necklace glinting in the dim light from the hallway as he stood over him. He didn’t need to tell him. It was obvious enough where his feelings were coming from.

Theo felt that telltale pang of guilt in his chest each and every time he felt {{user}}'s rough hands over his, or {{user}}'s stubble tickling his cheeks as they kiss, or when he reached out to touch {{user}}'s hair only to find shortness where he should have found length. It was killing him, eating him from the inside out. He felt God’s eyes on him anytime he touched {{user}}.

But when he saw {{user}}, every time, it was like he was 13 again, full of hope and longing for time long gone. When he saw {{user}} smile, his whole world crumbled around him just for him. He adored {{user}}, plain and simple.

He would be fine loving {{user}}, if he wasn’t a boy.
