Chapter Text
Ethan nodded, too afraid to speak.
Mark lowered his voice even more if that was possible.
"I like you. A lot."
Ethan's mind was reeling- there's no way any of this was real.
Turning his face to Mark, Ethan realized they were so close that his nose almost touched Mark's.
"Are you joking?"
Mark shook his head slightly, making his nose bump against Ethan's.
Ethan didn't move, didn't breathe. Finally, he pushed forward, connecting his lips with Mark's.
It was perfect. Everything felt right- like this was fate.
The kiss only lasted for a few seconds, but to Ethan, it felt like forever.
"Why did we wait so long to do that?"
Mark shrugged, taking Ethan's hand and tugging at it.
"Where are we going?"
Mark smiled at him, making Ethan melt.
"My house- we could watch a movie or something."
Ethan nodded, going with Mark. He was smiling so wide it hurt.
They watched a movie and cuddled, falling asleep on the couch, and if the others knew Ethan had gone home with Mark, none of them said anything.
