Knew Better

Recommended Song: Back To You - Selena Gomez

Logan: What are you two doing? Helios! Didn't you say you understand me now? Ugh! You two are so disgusting.

Helios: Dad! No, I can explain!

:: Logan closes the door shut, but instead of being angry at his son. He tried to accept him, but his mind is still crossed about his son dating a man.

Jiro: Get off of me Helios.

Helios: But Jiro… I looked for you the entire day. And you're just going to be mean to me?

Jiro: But you said you don't like me anymore.

Helios: That's what I thought Jiro, but seeing you bonding with my dad, It's like- I fell for you again.

Jiro: How about what you said in the garden?

Helios: I dont wanna talk about that right now. Let's go! Let's play "VALORANT" or "Apex Legends". You choose!

Jiro: Not right now Helios.

:: Jiro stands up and tries to go out of Helios' room but Helios grabbed his arm and says,

Helios: Jiro, please stay. Let's talk.

Jiro: What is there to talk about?

Helios: (Should I tell him?)

Jiro: Helios, we can't stay like this forever. I know you fell in love with me first but… I fell harder, Helios. I really don't know how we are still here, talking to each other. It's like- You're giving me false hope Helios.

Helios: Jiro, No. Do you want the truth?

Jiro: The- The Truth?

Helios: Yes Jiro! The truth.

Jiro: What truth?.

Helios: The day we moved into your house, I thought it was going to be super awkward. But no, you still treated me as your friend. Waking me up each morning, playing video games with me, hanging out with me, and our little talks. It felt like- More than friendship. In the garden? I thought I would tell you that cause I thought it was the right thing to do but- I didn't expect you to feel the same for me. *sobs* I tried really hard to shut off my feelings but, each day that passed It just grew bigger and bigger. *sobs* Jiro-

Jiro: Helios-

:: Jiro and Helios stare into each other's eyes and advance towards each other with desperation blooming out of their chest. They finally meet halfway and Jiro's hands wrap tight around Helios' waist as he lets himself get pulled in. Their lips finally meet, a kiss of confirmation for their love. With each tug of the lips, they poured out all of their feelings for each other.

Jiro: I love you, Helios..

Helios: I love you too, Jiro…
