Great Catch

Don't Read in the Closet Events series

Dear Author,

We have been best friends since elementary school and started fooling around together the summer we turned fifteen. Other than being best friends, I know that we just fool around to have fun. It doesn't mean anything more than that; at least I know that it doesn't mean anything more than that to him.

It's not like we do it every day. Except lately it seems that when we are together, even when we are just hanging out, I can't help but get the feeling that he is looking at me differently than he normally does... Like he is waiting for me to say something or do something. But it's driving me crazy, because I know Iwant more. But I know he doesn't... Does he?

Photo Description:

Two young men are side by side on a bus and appear to be sleeping. The boy on the left wears a sleeveless dark blue T-shirt and a grey visor turned backwards. He has his arm around the boy on the right, who rests his head against his friend's chest, cushioned by a towel or pillow. Their fingers are laced together, holding on as they sleep.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love Has No Boundaries" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
