THE FOLLOWING DAY I rose and composed myself for the support group, telling myself that it wasn’t going to be a big deal and it was all going to be okay. I thought about just going to the tail end of the meeting, but figured that would be more awkward, so I left with plenty of time to spare, but there was a small accident on the way and traffic was delayed, so I was a little late. I burst into the room, and all eyes turned to me, and I saw how surprised Clint was to see me. His gaze darted away almost immediately.

The meeting was good, although I found it difficult to concentrate on what people were saying because I kept thinking about Clint. He didn’t look at me once after I entered the room. When the meeting was over, I stayed. It had become a routine for me to help him with the chairs, but this time he turned his back on me.

“Clint, I just came to talk about what happened.”

“It’s okay,” he said without turning around to face me, “I think we can both agree that it was a mistake and we don’t need to talk about it. I’m...I’m sorry for doing that. It was a mistake, and I misjudged the situation. Clearly, you were disgusted, and I understand if you don’t want to see me anymore, I’m just...I’m sorry for doing that. I overstepped my bounds, and I obviously misinterpreted what was going on. I’m such a fool. I guess my loneliness got the better of me. I wish I could take it back.”

“I don’t,” I said, my words blunt and clear. That was enough to get his attention. He turned around and looked at me with disbelief in his eyes. I licked my lips and swallowed, trying to rid myself of the lump in my throat.

“What do you mean?”

“I...I don’t know. But I was shocked when it...when you kissed me. I wasn’t expecting it at all, and I’m sorry for ignoring you this past week, and for running away. That wasn’t very mature of me. I was just surprised, that’s all. I wasn’t disgusted.” I stepped closer to him. I noticed him getting tense. Now that we were alone in the same room together, I realized how much I had missed him. The light shone on him in a way that made his eyes glow, and I found myself drawn to him powerfully, like a moth to a flame. My gaze fell to his lips, and all I wanted was to feel them against mine again.

“I don’t know what’s happening to me,” I said, talking through my thoughts as they entered my mind. “I’m not gay, but you awakened something in me. When you kissed me...I couldn’t stop thinking about it afterward. I tried, but you’re there, in my mind. I can’t stop thinking about you, Clint. I don’t know what this is supposed to mean, but it wasn’t a mistake. I’m not willing to let our friendship die over this.
