AIDAN

AIDAN SHUT THE DOOR and crashed into his bed. Bobby was out and Aidan expected to have at least a couple of hours alone. He wasn’t thinking about anything, really. A blank look on his face hid the storm inside his chest well.

Whatever was up with Mathew, he was not the one privileged enough to know. Why would he be? After all, they did not know each other at all. All there was between them were confusing sparks of passion, raw attraction based on physique. Mathew was hot as hellfire itself, which was something strange to Aidan.

He was never in love. He may have had a crush a couple of years earlier. The year before he enrolled in college, Aidan had a neighbor same age as he was. Aidan knew by that time he was gay and had come out to his family with ease. No one said anything wrong, they were all supportive and encouraged him to express himself in any way he liked.

The trouble was, he did not like expressing himself. He was not a type of person who would wear a cape made of a rainbow flag, slap some makeup on and join the parade. It was good to know that no one who mattered would mind should he do exactly that, but he avoided conversations regarding his sexuality and preferences.

The neighbor was Peter Coleman, skinny boy with golden locks and blue eyes. He came over a few times when Aidan’s sister had invited him. Aidan saw through the plan at once - Peter was on the top of anyone’s gaydar. Feminine, groomed and with annoyingly high-pitched laughter which scared the living hell out of Aidan’s cat Cheshire, Peter almost became a regular guest. He was invited to dinners and received dad talks from time to time.

Once Aidan was sunbathing the last summer before college, Peter came over and joined him. They were all alone and Aidan went to grab some orange juice and a whole lot of ice when Peter appeared behind him, hugged him and kissed his neck.

Nothing came of it, Aidan put the shields up and they quietly enjoyed some juice before Peter left. That summer flew by quickly and they never saw each other since. Aidan blamed himself and almost wished he had the guts to go and talk, but he was a coward deep underneath the muscles on the outside. He knew that very well.

He spent the summer moody and quiet, daydreaming Peter would come by and Aidan would have the guts to talk or kiss him. He had inklings of feelings for the gold-haired boy which he buried deep inside after a while.

They only resurrected after Aidan and Mathew had kissed. It was a mistake. It was all the same, all over again. Yet it felt different this time. Aidan embraced the burning desire inside his chest.

He turned around in the bed and kept staring into nothingness. His face was expressionless but his heart far from it.

It would pass, everything does.
