Eric smiled as well and looked him in the eyes. "Yeah it is. Especially for you, because now you're crush is no longer a crush." he said with a grin.

Keenan blushed darkly, "N-no...I mean....I'm happy but....we couldn't...." He said sofltly looking at the ground, "Think about it Eric..."

Eric sighed. "C'mon Keenan. You've been outta the closet for years! People already know! And it's not like I give a fuck what other people think of me." he said with a small laugh.

"But you should! And you don't know how this could change our friendship....what if something goes wrong and we grow apart?" Keenan said, "Your all I have....I can't fucking lose you Eric..." He said scowling.

Eric glared at him a little. "So, we're just going to stay friends. Even though we'll both sit there and love eachother on the inside and dream about eachother and wish we could be together, but we'll just stay friends? Think about it, Keenan. We'll both go insane." he said.

Keenan looked away. His whole world had been shaken changed with a single kiss, "I don't know Eric....I...I need to think...it's...too much right now..." He said softly shooting Eric a pleading glance. He was pale near the verge of tears.

Eric looked to the ground. "Okay, but I just have one question." he said quietly. "You have had a crush on me since you found out you were gay, and now I finally come out and tell you I'm ready to be in a relationship with you. What's stopping you?" he asked.

Keenan paused, "Because I'm still in shock I told myself it would never happe and then…It scares me a bit…" He said softly.his eyes locking with Eric's.

Eric sighed. "Keenan! Just get some balls and realize that this is finally happening and you're pushing it away! You've had a crush on me for two years and you finally get the chance to grab the opportunity and you just push it away? Just try and think of another time I'll do this. If you don't want me, I'm walking out that door and I know plenty of guys who have been waiting for this day as well, Keenan." he said softly.

Keenan shuddered at the idea with him with anouther boy. Someone other than him. He growled punching the arm of the couch, "No fucking way am I letting you go with any other guy!" He growled looking at Eric his eyes dark, "It just seems like a dream is all...but fuck if it is I don't want to wake up..." He said grabbing Eric hugging him tightly.

Eric hugged him back and closed his eyes. "Keenan, you don't have to wake up." he said quietly. "I'm here to stay. I'm not leaving you." he whispered.

Keenan whimpered the tears pouring over as he clung to Eric kissing him gently. "Thank you..."

Eric wiped his tears and kissed him back. "I love you, Keenan." he whispered, shutting his eyes.

Keenan whimpered hearing those words, "I love you too...oh god so much..."

Eric smiled and kissed him again, deeper this time. "Good." he said quietly. He hugged him again and pulled him closer.

Keenan cuddled against him like they were little kids again and sighed contently.

Eric wrapped his arms around Keenan and sighed. He couldn't believe what he had become. He wasn't ashamed, just surprised.

Keenan smiled listening to Eric's heartbeat happily. He felt like he was in shock things moving slowly.

((No more gaydar for Keenan xD))

Eric gently rubbed Keenan's back. At that moment, he heard something. Footsteps. It was Keenan's mom. He quickly pushed Keenan off of him and laughed like Keenan had just told a joke.

Keenan paused and laughed too, "Uh...yeah...but the best part wa-Oh hey mom!" he smiled fixing his shirt up a bit.

"Uh huh I know you two are up to something...." She said rolling her eyes, "Anyway Eric are you staying over agian tonight your mom wants to know before she has a mental break down..."

Eric smiled at her. "Um." he glanced at Keenan. "Yeah, sure, why not." he said. He smiled at her again, then winked at Keenan with a grin.

Keenan's mother nodded and left.

Keenan was blushing darkly lookig down.

Eric looked at Keenan and smiled. "Don't be shy." he said quietly.

Keenan smirked looking at him, "I'm not...it's just different now..."

Eric tilted his head a bit. "Different? Different how?" he asked.
