"Why don't you just admit it?" Alex said, sitting on the sofa across from me. "You had a crush on her."
"If I had a crush on her, why would I be around your house and not around Claire's?" I replied, putting down my can on the table, finishing it all.
"Because I taught you well," Alex replied back. "Bro's before hoes and all that."
"Well fine, I guess i'm gonna have to put up with this along with sleeping in the same room as you."
My name is Jason. Me and Alex had been friends for ages, and had been hanging out loads recently during our free time. We were both good friends, we could talk about anything and have a less mature relationship with. His parents were away for most of the night, which gave us the perfect excuse to have a mini sleepover, chill out and play on his Xbox.
I'd recently been through some girl trouble, and this was the perfect excuse to get away from that. Alex, however, had other ideas and was enjoying tormenting me about it in the way he always did.
"I'm going upstairs," Alex told me, standing up from the sofa. "I'll get the lubricants ready."
"There's something wrong with you" I replied whilst shaking my head. He made a lot of stupid comments like that, toying with the fact we would be sleeping in the same room and all of that. We knew that neither one of us was gay, we both had interests in girls, and never really took liking guys into consideration. I did like Alex being around me, though, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't find him attractive.
I went up to his room, and we both just continued relaxing, watching movies and eating popcorn. We spent most of the night doing this alongside talking about different topics until we had all but about run dry. We were both lying on his bed with our backs against the wall facing the TV, and he promptly turned it off when we had finished watching everything.
We continued to talk until he put his head on my shoulder. It was kind of creepy at first, but I just let him do it and angled my head to it was leaning on top of his too. I could tell he was finding it awkward too, but we both were experimenting in a dark and forbidden way.
