Stephen's POV
The past couple of days had been an enchanting whirlwind, where every moment spent with Eric felt like a vibrant symphony of emotions. His presence awakened something deep within me, infusing my days with a newfound vitality. Whenever he was near, a radiant smile would effortlessly grace my lips. Yet beneath the surface, I couldn't deny the truth: my feelings for him transcended the boundaries of mere friendship.
Uncertainty gripped my heart as I grappled with my own sexuality. Was I truly bisexual, or was this uncharted territory? The thought of being different from what society deemed "normal" instilled a profound fear within me. What if others judged me? What if acceptance eluded me?
Despite these apprehensions, the gravitational pull toward Eric remained undeniable. I yearned for more time in his presence, to bask in his aura. However, the weight of societal expectations held me captive, preventing me from embracing my desires fully.
