Here's: "DATING AND THE SINGLE LIFE" the first installment titled: CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
October, 2003. Kyle (21, 5'10 dark brown eyes, black hair, fit body) and David (22, 6'2, blue eyes, brown hair, fit body) are hanging out in Kyle's apartment watching tv. The two are good friends, they met about four years ago on the internet, they talked online for about 6 months before deciding to meet, they had an easy time meeting because neither one was looking for a relationship or anything so they were strictly meeting as friends. At first the two weren't sure if they would get a long because they both seemed a lot different from each other.
David was very out going, spontaneous, he liked living in the moment, he's big on partying, he sometimes tends to come off as cocky, but he's really just confident, he loves the idea of relationships, but he had just gotten out of a bad one so he wasn't interested in getting into another one for a while. But after knowing Kyle for four years and the two have become so close, David has developed feelings for Kyle and wants to get into a relationship with him, but has been unsuccessful in getting Kyle. He has greater success in his business life he is working as an owner of music store.
Kyle comes off as a quiet guy, but once you get to know him he ends up being one of the funniest guys and is fun to have around, he's not as spontaneous he likes being sure of what he's doing or where he's going before he does anything, he's not a big partier, he'd rather just hang out with a few friends then go out partying, he's probably one of the sweetest guys one would meet, he would go out of his way to make someone happy. His reason for not going into a relationship is because he doesn't think that the relationships people always hope for exists. He was in a relationship once and doesn't intend to get into one again. Kyle is still going to college, working part-time as a salesperson at a toy store.
The two of them hang out with their four other friends, Marcus, Tyler, Jake, and Randal.
Marcus is twenty-five, gay, 6'3, ash-blonde hair, brown eyes, rock hard body, he's the ultimate eye candy, one would think he's conceded because of his good lucks, but people are suprised to see what a gentle, caring guy he really is. He's the care-taker of the group, always making sure no one is left out of anything. He's the one that all the guys look up to, he will never do anything wrong, whenever one of the guys has a problem, Marcus is the one they all turn to. It amazes the guys that he's such a nice guy considering his day job consists of him being very rough, he's a lawyer. He's a very successful lawyer who is now a partner at the law firm he works at.
Tyler, gay, twenty-three, 5'9, slim, black hair, green eyes, runner's body, he's a bit more rough then the other guys, but it's only because he grew up never having parents, he always went from one foster home to another until he was eighteen when he went out on his own. He's had it the roughest of all the guys, he went from being a buss boy to a stripper, was able to get enough money so he was able to get himself night classes at an adult school so he could get an education. He then went and is now currently the manager at one of a resteraunts in Los Angeles. The resteraunt is actually where all the guys met.
Jake, gay, twenty, 5'10, blonde, swimmer's body, the youngest of the group. Jake was raised in great constrast to Tyler. Jake was born into a wealthy family, grew up with all the luxuries in life, however he feels that he missed out on a lot in life by being brought up by high-class parents. Instead of playing with friends when he was little, he was taking manners classes, he went to a private school, he got a Jaguar for his sixteenth birthday. Jake decided he didn't want to rely on his parents his whole life so he went out on his own and got a job on his own working at a clothing shop, instead of becoming a partner at the accounting firm that his dad owns. He is currently going to college and hoping to become an architect.
Randal, gay, twenty-one, 6', brown hair, green eyes, toned body. Randal is very sexual, he loves sex, but hates love. Him and Kyle share a bond in the fact that they both don't like relationships, but unlike Kyle, Randal chooses to just hook-up with a lot of guys. Randal works as a bar-tender at a gay club. His good looks has gotten him great tips and lives in a nice apartment over looking the beach. The guys ussually hang out at Randal's house because of the good view of the ocean...and the guys.
So Kyle and David are hanging out in Kyle's apartment watching tv.
"This movie sucks." David said changing the channel on the tv.
"I have some dvd's on my shelf if you want to watch one of those instead." Kyle suggested pointint to a bookshelf next to the tv.
David got up and looked at the movies, while Kyle went and put on a sweatshirt, since he was starting to get cold.
"You have; 'The first season of Alias', 'Godfather', 'Aliens', 'Austin Powers', 'American Pie', 'Saving Private Ryan', or 'X-Men'. Which one do you want to watch?" David asked.
"Any of them is fine, you can choose." Kyle said sitting back down on the bed.
"Want to watch an episode or two of Alias?" David asked
"That's fine." Kyle answered
David put in the DVD and sat back down on the bed next to Kyle.
"Oh, hey this weekend there is a party at my friend's house. You want to come with me?" David asked
"Um, yea sure that sounds cool." Kyle replied, even though he really didn't want to go.
"I know you don't like partying, but it'll be fun. The other guys will be there too. If your not having a good time you and me will go do something else cool?" David asked
"No, it's cool, the party sounds fun." Kyle replied
"Besides, I want to see you get drunk again." David said laughing
"Shut up David." Kyle replied embarrassed, but couldn't help but laugh. "I don't know what got into me that night."
"About eight shots of vodka and eight beers is what got into you that night." David said laughing
"Yea, I know, and who was it that kept filling up my shot glass?" Kyle asked accusingly
"You didn't have to drink it." David replied innocently
"When you kept saying, 'Come on Kyle, just one more. Don't be a pussy.', I really didn't have much of a choice." Kyle shot back
"You must not handle peer presure well then huh?" David asked laughing
"I hate you." Kyle replied smiling, punching David in the arm.
"No you don't, you love me." David responded, tackling Kyle, causing both of them to fall to the ground.
"Get off me, before I kick your ass." Kyle yelled trying to push David off of him.
"Tell me, you love me." David said grabbing Kyle's wrists.
"No, I still hate you." Kyle shot back laughing.
"Ha, you can't get me off of you." David said teasingly.
"Only because your so heavy." Kyle joked, still trying to get David off of him.
"It's also muscle." David said with pride.
"Oh God, don't get too full of yourself." Kyle replied rolling his eyes. "Now, get off me."
"Only if you say 'David, I love you'." David said smiling.
"Fine. David, I love you." Kyle said
David looked down at Kyle and smiled. David truly thought the world of Kyle, and loves him a lot, he's his best friend.
"All right." David said as he got off.
Kyle got up and then tackled David to the ground.
"Psyche." Kyle shouted pinnig David to the ground. "Now say, 'Kyle, your the best'."
David being the eternal flirt didn't put up a fight, but rather enjoyed having Kyle on top of him.
"Kyle, your the best." David said winking.
"Oh crap, don't get all horny on me now." Kyle said getting off.
"Please, like you've never thought of me in that way." David said
"No, I haven't." Kyle replied candidly
Kyle laid down on the bed, David got up on the best and put his arms around Kyle.
"Even when I cuddle you like this." David said jokingly
"You hold me like this every time we're alone together. This is hardly anything new." Kyle retorted
"What about, when I whisper in your ear." David said softly in Kyle's ear.
"David, are you seriously horny or somthing?" Kyle asked
"Maybe." David replied
"Fine, hold on." Kyle said softly, getting up and leaving the room.
David laid back in the bed and put his arms behind his head smiling. Kyle walked back in and tossed David a bottle of lotion.
"Here, if your horny, go play with yourself." Kyle said, he then tossed David a towel "Don't foget to clean yourself up when your done."
"Screw you." David said throwing the towel back at Kyle.
"You deserve it." Kyle said laughing "Trying to get sex out of me."
"Come on, you never thought about me in a sexual way a little bit?" David asked
"Nope." Kyle replied bluntly
"A good looking guy like me?" David asked
"See, that may be one of the reasons." Kyle replied teasingly "Your so full of yourself."
"I'm very self-assured." David corrected.
"Very cocky." Kyle shot back.
"Very confident." David said enjoying the banter.
"Point is, you'll never get me to sleep with you." Kyle said smiling triumphantly
"Ouch." David replied, his ego shot down slightly.
"But I still love you." Kyle said giving David a quick kiss on the lips. "Come on, let's finish watching 'Alias'."
Kyle and David rested, David put his arms around Kyle. Kyle responded by leaning his head back against David's chest.
"Do you ever think about dating again?" David asked cuddling Kyle a little bit
"You know my views on dating and relationship." Kyle replied
"I know, but don't you ever wonder if your missing out on something with that attitude?" David asked
"Not really." Kyle answered simply
"But you could end up loosing out on somthing great." David retorted
"You can't loose what you never had." Kyle said
"Yea, I guess your right." David said quietly. He held Kyle, wanting desperately to confess his love to him, but he knows it wouldn't make a difference, Kyle will never change his views on relationships.
"Why do you ask?" Kyle asked curious
"No reason." David replied "Why don't you like relationships?"
"I just think that people waste their time trying to find that perfect relationship that they can only see in the movies or on TV. But in reality, those relationships don't exist, in reality a relationship is always full of mis-trust, jealousy, fighting, why put up with all that?"
"If your with the right person it wouldn't happen." David replied
"Yea, but what are the chances a person will find that one person they're supossed to be with?" Kyle shot back "I figure, the only two things that make relationships different from friendships is that, one; you screw them, only them, and two; all the trust issues. I figure, if I want sex with out the fighting then I'll just go screw a friend of mine. It's easier, and your friend isn't going to get mad at you if you find someone else hot."
"Relationships have love." David retorted
"I love my friends." Kyle replied
"It's a love that's better than the type of love you have for a friend, it's a feeling where you can't imagine life with out them." David said
"I can't imagine life with out my friends." Kyle replied "Like you for instance, your my best friend, I can't imagine life with you."
David smiled "I can't imagine life with out you either." he said straight from the heart.
"See, and we're just friends." Kyle said
"Yea," David said quietly "We're just friends."
Kyle could see there was something wrong with David.
"Are you all right?" Kyle asked concerned
"I'm fine." David replied quickly trying to hide his emotions.
"No your not. I can tell." Kyle said "Talk to me."
"It's nothing." David said, Kyle looked at him, not believing a word he's saying, "I'm just worried about you is all. I think you might be missing out with an attitude like that."
"Thank you for the concern." Kyle said genuinely "But I'm fine."
Kyle laid back down with David. David however, was beginning to feel very uncomfortable.
"You know, I gotta get going. I have to get to the store early tomorrow." David lied getting up from the bed.
"But it's only 8:30." Kyle replied
"I know, sorry, but I'll see you tomorrow at Randal's." David said heading towards the door.
Kyle got up and stopped David at the door.
"Wait." Kyle said grabbing David gently by the arm. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yea, I'm fine." David replied quickly
"All right, I know you're not, but I don't want to push you on this." Kyle said "But, you know you can always come talk to me if you have a problem."
"I know. Thanks." David said giving Kyle a hug.
"I love you." Kyle said
"Love you too." David answered giving Kyle a kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"All right. Night." Kyle replied
"Good night." David answered walking out the door.
Kyle closed the door and leaned against it, he knows something's bugging David, he just can't figure out what.
Later that night at Marcus' house, David went over to talk Marcus. Marcus being the papa bear of the group to everyone was more than willing to listen to David's problem.
"You know how much I like Kyle right?" David asked
"Are you kidding? All of us know how much you like Kyle." Marcus replied smiling.
"It's just frustrating. I send all the hints, but he doesn't pick up on them." David complained
"That's because you two are best friends. He thinks the flirtatious acts you do with him are just because of how close you two are." Marcus explained
"I'm close with you and Kyle doesn't see me going over and kissing you and cuddling you." David said
"Yea, but are you as close with me as you are with Kyle? No. You've known Kyle a lot longer than you've known me and the other guys." Marcus said
"But still, I mean you'd think Kyle would figure it out." David replied
"It also might be that Kyle doesn't want to see what's right in front of him." Marcus said
"What do you mean?" David asked
"Think about it." Marcus started explaining. "Kyle doesn't like the idea of relationships. Maybe he's trying not to see your feeling towards him because he doesn't want a relationship."
I guess." David replied thinking, "What got him to hate relationships so much?"
"I don't know. I asked him once, but he didn't want to talk about it." Marcus said
"Did something happen to him to get him turned off to relationships?" David asked
"Maybe, he hasn't said anything to me about it." Marcus "I'd think if anyone would know it would be you, considering how close you two are."
"He's never said anything to me." David replied
"Do you want my advice?" Marcus asked
"Yea." David replied
"I think you should just try and move on from Kyle. He doesn't want a relationship, so don't torture yourself by hanging on to him because chances are you won't get what you want." Marcus said gently "I'm sorry, I know you don't want to hear that."
"No, don't be sorry. You're probably right. I know I should just forget about it, but how do you move on from someone you are so in love with?" David asked
"I wish I had an answer for you." Marcus replied
David looked at his watch. "I should get going." he said getting up. "Thanks for listening."
"Anytime." Marcus said giving him a hug, "You going to be at Randal's tomorrow right?"
"Yea." David replied
"All right, well I'll talk to you tomorrow." Marcus said
"Okay. Bye." David said leaving
"Bye." Marcus replied closing the front door behind David.
Meanwhile, Kyle was in his apartment on the phone with Tyler.
"What are we going to do over at Randal's tomorrow?" Kyle asked
"I think we're just going to meet there, have a drink and then go the club with him when he has to work." Tyler replied
"Okay. Cool." Kyle said "Oh, hey is everything all right with David?"
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked
"We were hanging out tonight and he was his usual cocky self, but then he got all quiet and then he left." Kyle replied
"What were you two talking about?" Tyler asked
"Um.." Kyle began trying to recall the conversation he had with David, "Oh yea, David was getting all horny or somthing and wanted to have sex, I said 'no' as usual, and then he was talking to me about relationships and things and then he just left."
"Oh." Tyler replied knowing full well what David was trying to do.
"What?" Kyle asked "Do you know something?"
"No." Tyler lied quickly, "I don't know. You'll just have to talk to him."
"I tried, but he didn't want to talk." Kyle answered
"Wish, I could help you out." Tyler said
"It's cool." Kyle replied "Oh hey, didn't you have a date tonight with some guy you met at the resteraunt you work at?"
"Yea, I did." Tyler said un-enthusiastically
"I'm guessing it didn't go so good." Kyle said
"Let's just say that I've had more interesting conversations with a brick wall." Tyler answered
"That bad?" Kyle asked
"Yea, he does interior designing for a living, so all night he was looking around the resteraunt talking about different colors of paint would go well with the table clothes." Tyler replied
"Sorry man." Kyle said laughing
"It's cool." Tyler replied
"That's why I hate dating and relationships." Kyle began "You always get high expectations, but they're never what you hoped for."
"Yea, but it's better than being alone for the rest of your life." Tyler replied
"I don't know." Kyle said
"You and David would make a good couple." Tyler hinted
"Me and David?" Kyle asked shocked "No, I don't think so. Him and I are just best friends."
"You sure about that?" Tyler asked
"Yes." Kyle answered
"I don't know, you two are basically a couple anyway, you're always cuddling and hanging out together." Tyler said
"It's just because we're close to one another, that's all." Kyle replied
"Whatever you say." Tyler said, he then heard a knock on his door. "Oh hey Kyle I gotta go. I think Jake's here, he's crashing here tonight."
"Tell him hi." Kyle replied
"I will. Later." Tyler said
"Bye." Kyle said hanging up.
Tyler went and opened the door up to Jake.
"Hey." Jake said coming in "Thanks for letting me stay here tonight."
"No problem." Tyler replied
"My damn roommate, I sware, this is the third time this week I've had to stay out of the dorm for the night because of his girlfriend." Jake said
"You should just move out." Tyler replied
"I can't exactly afford it. And I won't let my dad help me out financially." Jake said
"Well, feel free to crash here whenever you want." Tyler replied
"Thanks." Jake said
"I just got off the phone with Kyle, he says 'hi'." Tyler said going into the kitchen to get a couple beers.
"How's he doing?" Jake asked
"He's good. I guess David was over at him place tonight." Tyler said handing Jake a beer.
"Did David ask him out?" Jake asked curious
"No, but from the sound of it, I think he was trying to." Tyler replied
"What do you mean?" Jake asked
"Kyle was saying that David at first was trying to have sex with him and then he was asking Kyle questions about relationships and stuff." Tyler answered
"So Kyle still hasn't figured out that David's in love with him?" Jake asked
"I guess not." Tyler replied
"It's so obvious." Jake said "I mean David is always cuddling with Kyle, kissing him."
"I know, but Kyle thinks it's just because the two of them are best friends." Tyler said
"Please, Kyle doesn't see any of us kissing and cuddling each other." Jake replied
"I think it's mainly that Kyle doesn't want to admit to himself that David likes him." Tyler said
"Maybe." Jake answered "Poor David. He's been trying to get with Kyle for such a long time."
"I know." Tyler replied "Not much we can do about it though."
"Yea, true." Jake said "We should maybe try setting David up with someone."
Tyler smiled "That's actually a really good idea."
"It can help him move on from Kyle." Jake said
"And it will save us from having to hear him talking about how much he loves Kyle." Tyler added
"Do you know anyone we can set him up with?" Jake asked
"Let me think." Tyler replied thinking of someone good for David...
THE NEXT DAY
David, Marcus, Jake, Tyler and Randal were in Randal's apartment having a beer and talking...
"Where's Kyle?" David asked
"He said he would be about ten minutes late, he re-stock some toys at the store before he comes over." Randal replied
"Hey David, Tyler and I were talking and we were wondering how you felt about being set up on a blind date?" Jake asked
"A blind date?" David asked unsure
"Yea, we think that it might be good for you." Tyler added "Help you get over Kyle."
"Dating someone isn't just going to get me over Kyle." David responded
"The sooner you start dating and start seeing new people the faster you'll get over him." Jake said
"We don't like seeing you get hurt trying to get Kyle when you know that Kyle doesn't want anyone." Marcus said
"Listen to them David." Randal chimed in "I think they're right."
"I don't know." David began but before he could continue to say anything else Kyle walked in.
"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late." Kyle said still wearing his uniform shirt for work that featured a big teddy bear with the words "Toy World" in bold letters.
"It's cool." Randal said handing Kyle a beer.
"Thanks." Kyle replied taking a sip then setting it down, he then took out a red shirt from the backpack he was carrying, "Let me just change shirts real quick."
David watched as Kyle took off his shirt, David was starring at Kyle's cut abs and definition in his arms, and watched as Kyle put on a nice red button up shirt.
Tyler noticed David paying close attention to Kyle changing and slapped David in the leg.
"Let's not be too obvious." Tyler whispered into David's ear.
"Right." David said and quickly looked away taking a sip of his beer.
"How was work?" Randal asked
"Tiring." Kyle replied, he then walked over to where David was sitting and sat down next to him resting a leg on top of David's lap. "Hey you."
"Hey." David said giving Kyle a quick kiss. David looked up and saw Tyler, Jake, Marcus and Randal rolling their eyes.
"How long have you guys been here?" Kyle asked
"About ten minutes is all." Marcus replied
"What time do you have to get to the club?" Jake asked looking over at Randal.
"Half hour." Randal replied
"So David. What do you say about going on that blind date?" Tyler asked
David gave Tyler a glare, David didn't want Kyle to know about the blind date.
"Your thinking of going on a blind date?" Kyle asked
"No, not really." David replied
"Why not?" Kyle asked curious
David wasn't quite sure how to respond.
"I just didn't think now's a good time." David answered
"Why? What's going on in your life now that would make dating a bad thing?" Kyle asked "You should do it."
"Yea see Kyle thinks so." Tyler said
"Well if Kyle thinks so then I guess I should." David said through gritted teeth.
"Awesome, I'll set it up." Tyler said giving David a big smile.
"This will be good for you." Kyle said giving David a hug
"Yea, maybe you're right." David replied quietly
"Come on guys. I should started heading over to the club." Randal said
"How's the new dj the club hired?" Marcus asked
"Oh, he's good." Randal said devilishly
"You didn't." Jake said
"I did." Randal replied
"You did?" Kyle asked
"Oh, I did." Randal answered
"Survey says?" Tyler asked
"He's a 8.5." Randal replied
"What kept him from being a ten?" David asked
"About one and a half inches." Randal replied
"He was eight and a half inches?" Kyle asked
"Yea, but it would have been better if he was a ten incher." Randal said smiling
"Would you even be able to handle ten inches?" Tyler joked
"Please, I've handled twelve." Randal replied
"You've been with a guy who was a twelve?" Jake asked
"No, I mean I've been with twelve guys who were all ten inches." Randal said "At the same time."
"Too much information." Kyle said pushing Randal out the door.
When the guys got to the club Randal went to work behind the bar serving up drinks, David went with him and sat at the bar having a drink. Kyle, Marcus, Tyler and Jake went out on the dance floor and started dancing. Kyle noticed that David was just sitting at the bar so he went to go get him.
"Hey." Kyle said grabbing David's arm "Let's dance."
David smiled, took one last sip of his drink "All right."
David and Kyle went back out on the dance floor and got really close to each other and started dancing. David put a hand on Kyle's waste and looked deep in Kyle's eyes.
"I'm glad you decided to go on that date." Kyle said smiling
"Really?" David asked
"Yea, you've been ready to date for a while now haven't you?" Kyle asked
"In some ways yea." David responded
"I could sort of tell, you've seemed a little lonely lately." Kyle said
David just smiled not sure what to say.
"Maybe you'll find mr. right." Kyle said
"I think I already did." David said quietly
"What?" Kyle asked "Sorry, with the music I can't hear so well in here."
"I said I'm going to go get a drink, why don't you go dance with Marcus for a little bit." David said
"Do you want me to go with you?" Kyle asked
"No, that's okay." David answered leaving Kyle on the dance floor.
David went to the bar and called over Randal.
"Get me vodka on the rocks." David said
Randal got David the drink and gave it to David. Looking on the dance floor David saw Kyle dancing with Marcus laughing, having a good time. David want's Kyle so much. Not wanting to deal with the pain David downed the vodka.
"Get me another one." David said handing Randal his glass
"You drank that fast." Randal said filling David's drink back up.
"This one's going to go down even faster." David said downing the vodka again and then handed his glass back to Randal.
"You sure you want another one?" Randal asked
"Positive." David replied
"All right." Randal said filling the glass back up.
Back on the dance floor Kyle, Marcus, Tyler and Jake were all having a good time. David drank another glass of vodka and called over Randal for another.
"I think you've had enough." Randal warned
"I'm fine." David said groggily
"Don't let this whole dating thing get to you." Randal replied "If you really don't want to go date someone else right now then don't."
"I wasn't thinking about that." David answered "I'm fine, just fill me up will ya?"
"This is your last one." Randal said filling David's glass up one last time.
David took the glass and sipped it as he looked back out on the dance floor watching Kyle having a good time. David quickly finished his drink then headed out of the club.
ONE HOURS LATER
Kyle, Marcus, Jake, and Tyler went to the bar to talk to Randal and David. Kyle quickly noticed that David was no where around the bar.
"Where's David?" Kyle asked Randal
"I don't know. I didn't even see him leave." Randal replied
"I'm going to try and call him." Kyle said "I'm going to go outside so I can hear better."
Kyle went outside and called David's cell.
"Hello." Kyle heared David's mumbled voice say
"David where are you." Kyle asked
"Turn around." David replied
Kyle turned around and saw David clumsily walk over to him carrying a bottle of vodka.
"I just had to go get a drink." David said smiling
Kyle sighed and rolled his eyes "I'm going to take you home. Wait here."
Kyle walked back inside and walked up to the guys.
"Hey, David's smashed. He went to buy a bottle of vodka and the bottle's half gone already. I'm going to walk back to Randal's, and then drive him home." Kyle said
"You want us to come with you?" Jake asked
"No, it's cool. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow." Kyle replied as he left
Kyle walked back outside the door and found David sitting down on the sidewalk drinking his vodka.
"Come on David." Kyle said grabbing David's arm and pulling him up.
"Where we going?" David asked leaning on Kyle.
"I'm taking you home." Kyle replied
"I don't want to walk all the way home." David whined
"You're not walking all the way home." Kyle corrected him "We're going to walk back to Randal's because my car is parked there and then I'll drive you home."
"All right." David said letting his legs go limp on the ground, "I love you."
"David, stand up straight and walk." Kyle said frustrated
"You're mad at me." David said sighing
"I'm not mad at you." Kyle said "But why did you get yourself drunk?"
"I'm not drunk." David replied
"Just keep walking." Kyle said trying to support David leaning on his shoulders.
They finally reached Randal's place and Kyle walked David to his car.
"Get in." Kyle said opening up the door for David.
David got in and leaned the seat back.
"This feels good." David said as Kyle closed the passenger side door. Kyle then got in the driver's seat and headed over to David's apartment.
After about twenty minutes of driving Kyle finally got to David's apartment. Kyle walked David into his bedroom and lied him down on the bed.
"You're so good to me." David said smiling at Kyle
"David, why did you get so drunk tonight?" Kyle asked
"I'm not-" David began to say but Kyle interrupted
"Yes, you are." Kyle said sternly "You upset about something?"
"Yes." David replied with out hesitation
"What is it?" Kyle asked "Is this about the blind date Jake and Tyler are setting you up on?"
"No, well yes. I don't want to because I'm in love with someone." David said
"You are?" Kyle asked smiling "Why didn't you ever tell me? Who is it?"
David didn't say anything he just leaned in and gave Kyle a kiss. Kyle at first accepted the kiss thinking it was no big deal, but then he felt David wrap his arms around him and felt David's tongue slide into his mouth.
"Whoa." Kyle said breaking the kiss "What are you doing?"
"Don't you get it!" David shouted drunkly
"What?" Kyle asked
"I'm in love with you." David said suddenly getting very quiet.
Kyle didn't say anything. He just looked at David with confussion. David didn't seem regretful at all for saying it, he layed back down on the bed and rested his eyes.
"Yup, I love you." David said "I've been wanting to tell you for so long now."
Those were David's last words before he fell asleep. Kyle sat there next to him in shock. He couldn't believe what David just said to him. A part of him wanted to leave because of how uncomfortable he suddenly felt, but at the same time he didn't want to leave David alone in the condition he's in. Kyle got up and went into the living room area of the apartment and laid down on the couch thinking over the whole thing. Not sure what to think he called up Marcus.
"Hello?" Marcus asked answering the phone.
"You guys still at the club?" Kyle asked
"No, we just left." Marcus replied
"Can you come over to David's apartment?" Kyle asked
"Why? Something wrong?" Marcus asked
"No, I just really want to talk to you now and I don't want to leave David here alone." Kyle replied
"I'll be right over." Marcus said
A half-hour later Marcus showed up.
"What's going on?" Marcus asked sitting down on the couch with Kyle.
"I'm going to tell you somthing, but you have to keep this a secret, you can't tell anyone." Kyle said
"What is it?" Marcus asked
"I just found out David loves me." Kyle replied
"I know." Marcus said
"No, not as a friend sort of way, but he really loves me." Kyle said
"I know." Marcus replied
"You know?" Kyle asked
"We all know." Marcus answered
"Did David tell you guys?" Kyle asked
"He didn't have to, it was so obvious." Marcus replied
"How?" Kyle asked
"Think about it, how close you guys are." Marcus said
"It's because we're best friends." Kyle replied
"He's always cuddling with you." Marcus pointed out
"Because we're good friends." Kyle said
"He's always wants to be around you." Marcus said
"Because we're good friends." Kyle retorted
"He's always kissing you." Marcus said
"Because we're-" Kyle began but Marcus interrupted
"Good friends?" Marcus asked "Think about it Kyle."
Kyle sat there for a minute and thought of all the things him and David do together.
"Oh my God. I'm such an idiot." Kyle replied "Why didn't I see it before?"
"Because you didn't want to." Marcus said
"What do you mean?" Kyle asked
"You don't like relationships, you don't want a relationship. So you probably just shut out the idea of David having feelings for you so you wouldn't have to deal with it." Marcus replied
Kyle understood what Marcus was saying completely.
"What am I going to do?" Kyle said resting his head on Marcus' shoulder, "I don't want to hurt him."
"You just have to be honest with him." Marcus said
"Then what?" Kyle asked "Him and I won't be as close of friends anymore."
"You don't know that." Marcus said "Maybe David just needs to hear it from you so that he can finally get closure. Then hopefully he can move on and you two will still be okay."
Kyle sat there with Marcus, dreading the talk he's going to have to have with David....
To Be Continued....
Well, I thought I'd try my luck at a new series, I looked at my past series and didn't like the first chapters of them, so hopefully this was as well executed as I was hoping it would be and you all will like it. This story will not revolve around two central character like I did in my previous stories, this will be about a group of friends, the first few will most likely feature the characters of Kyle and David, but will soon move on to get to know the other characters better.
