College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had.


Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.
 
He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone. 

His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. 

But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name.

And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. 

But lust wasn't love, right?

Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise.

EXCERPT:

"THAT ARROGANT, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DEMONIC IDIOT! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!" 

"O-kay... what is going on?" A friend asked him, watching as he paced around the room he just entered. 

"After battling for a long time. A LONG TIME!" he breathed heavily before continuing, "I... I confessed to him today."

The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" 

"And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" 

Gasps. 

"I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!"

Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room. He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. 
But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. 

He suddenly chuckled to himself. 
"That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.

Chris reread the last text exchange between him and Sky today.

It had been a while since they'd last texted, a stark contrast to the constant stream of messages they used to exchange.

Today's conversation had been brief, almost perfunctory.

Sky: Got some stuff to handle at school and with the band. Won't be back to the dorm early.

It wasn't like Sky was avoiding him—at least, Chris didn't think so—but why did it always feel like they only met at night? Like Sky only made time for him when the world quieted down?

He'd kept his reply short. For now, he didn't mind.

Sky: You had lunch and dinner, right?

Chris: Why? Did your mom send you extra food again?

He was teasing him. And before Sky's message came in, he already expected it.

I want you to be comfortable
