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.

Dinner wasn't nearly as awkward as Sky had braced himself for.

Chris's parents asked questions—mostly harmless ones. About school. Classes. His interests. Chris, being Chris, took over before Sky even had a chance to answer fully, diving into tales about how Sky was "everywhere" in town, doing God knows what, and somehow everyone's favorite.

He said it like a complaint, but his eyes betrayed him—bright and proud and full of something warm. For the first time, Sky found himself smiling quietly, glad Chris had noticed. Glad Chris liked it.

He should have volunteered more frequently and invited Chris to the pub more frequently.

Chris even complained that he usually struts into the cafeteria with a megaphone and says gibberish that makes people swoon.

Sky found himself biting his lips so he wouldn't let the smile out.

"You make me breathe easier"
