Hand in hand, Luke and Liam walked down the school grounds, people's eyes on them.

Some stared at them with approval, while some gave them a look of disapproval, others were just disinterested. They just went on about their day.

“Let's go on a date,” Liam suggested, a smile plastered across his face, “I've always wanted to go on a date with you.”

“I really want to.”

“But?”

“But, I really have to get to class,” Luke replied, “The semester is almost about to end, so I need to study to ace the exams.”

“Ugh!”

“And so do you.” Luke jabbed at his chest playfully, “Since you don't have basketball any longer, maybe it's time you took your studies seriously.”

“I don't want to study,” Liam said softly, avoiding the various eyes being thrown at him.

Luke halted and turned, “Wait, what do you mean?”

“Can I tell you at our date?” Liam asked, “Let's get out of here. People's eyes on us… it's so overwhelming. I think I'm gonna need a little lot of time getting used to it all.”

“Sure.”

    Kelly walked out through the door, “See you later, Babe.”“Do you really have to go?” Adrian asked, still holding on to her.She sighed, “I don't want to, but I have to. My brother is coming back so I should be there when he gets back. He might already be back by now.”Adrian leaned and brushed his lips softly against her, “Alright then, text you later.”“Yeah, text you later.”They kissed one last time before Kelly turned and began to walk away.Snow was falling so she hunched her shoulders a bit, trudging down the street.When she returned home, she saw the car trails on the snow and she instinctively knew that Luke had arrived home.Wide smiles materializing on the side of her lips, ran into the house.“Luke?!” She called out.“Over here!” Luke's voice came from the dining hall.Excitement surging through her veins, she ran to the hall but then came to an abrupt halt.Her parents, Terry and Layla were seated at the table, alongside Liam and Luke.It looked like they were having a d

  • Closeted Desires    Christmas

    Luke cut out a piece of sandwich and handed it over to Liam.“Thanks,” Liam said thankfully, taking the sandwich from him, then bit into it.He was sitting on the picnic mat they had brought along and Luke's head was resting on his lap as he stared up at him.“So, about what I said earlier regarding not wanting to study…”“Yes, about that,” Luke immediately sat up, “What do you mean you don't want to study.”Liam licked off the sandwich flavor on his lips, “I think I'm gonna drop out.”“What?” Luke flinched, his eyes widening in shock, “What do you mean you're gonna drop out.”“Now that I'm no longer playing basketball, the school has withdrawn sponsorship…”“That's not enough reason to drop out!” Luke persisted, “I can pay for your tuition fees. My parents can pay for you. I have a rich uncle, he can pay.”“Look, it's not about money.”“Then what?” Luke demanded, “Because you're being really ridiculous right now.”“I never even wanted to come to college,” Liam said, “You know that.

  • Closeted Desires    Coming Out

    “What?! He wants to come out?” Sam exclaimed, his voice laced with shock and surprise.Luke sighed in resignation and then raised his shoulders in a slight shrug.“That's what he says,” Luke replied, buttoning up his shirt.“Isn't that so sudden?” Sam asked. “Considering what he just went through.”“I was worried about that, but he says that's what he wants. Who am I to stop him?” Luke asked rhetorically, “All I can do is be by his side and make sure he's fine.”“When will he be doing it?” Sam enquired, “Coming out I mean.”Luke turned to meet his eyes, “He says today.”“Oh, God!”“He'll be fine, Sam.” Luke reassured, “I'll be there, so I'll make sure of that. Besides, I thought you hated him.”Sam exhaled, “You know I feel like it's kind of my fault that that horrible accident happened to him. If I hadn't made you go to that double date, none of all this would have happened.”“Yeah, it kind of is your fault.” Luke agreed, “And mine too.”“No, it's my…”“Sam,” Luke called out, “You kn

    Liam and Luke lay side by side, in utter silence, in total darkness, Liam's head buried in Luke's chest as Luke gently patted his hair.“How are you doing?” Luke asked softly.Liam gave no response.“What if your leg?” Luke asked again, “How is it? Can you walk?”“Yes,” Liam whispered a response. “It's healed, but it still hurts a bit.”“What about you? How are you?”“Honestly… I… don't know.”“Baby, about your basketball…”“Can we… can we not talk about that?” Liam asked softly, cutting off his words, “I don't want to talk about that.”“Sorry,” Luke said apologetically, kissing him softly on the forehead, “What do you wanna talk about then?”“Anything,” Liam said softly, “Anything that's not… basketball. Can we talk about us?”“What about us do you wanna talk about?”“About the plans we made for Christmas,” Liam whispered, “You said we would spend some time alone, at a cabin, by the sea, just the two of us.”“Yeah, about that, I'm already saving up for it from the allowance my dad pa

    The doctor glanced down at his clipboard, then to Luke who had a despondent and frightened look on his face, and then to Liam whose injured face looked as though he was going to cry any second.The atmosphere in the room was that of a sad one, filled with unspoken tension.Liam was lying in the hospital bed, with a bandage wrapped tightly around his right leg and on his face were cuts and bruises.Thankfully, he hadn't lost his life.But at the back of his mind, he knew he had lost something else important in his life.In the corner of the room was Kyle, who was backing up against the wall.“You said he's an athlete right?” The doctor asked.“Yes!” Luke answered sharply, his heart, pounding in his chest, “Why?”Liam gripped the bedsheet so tight his knuckles turned white.The doctor hesitated, he looked reluctant. “Well, I'm afraid Liam Fox won’t be able to play basketball professionally again.”The tears trickled down from Liam's eyes.“What?” Luke exclaimed, “What the hell is that s
