William froze, unsure of what to expect. His heart beat a little faster. Was this the moment? Was Luke going to say something that would change everything between them?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HoB7WwtfE
Luke leaned in closer, his breath warm against William’s face. William’s stomach twisted in confusion and anticipation. “I...” Luke hesitated for a second, his eyes flicking between William’s lips and his eyes. “I like you, Will. I like you more than I should.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOq5vXS49
William’s breath caught in his throat, his heart skipping a beat. For a moment, everything stopped. He didn’t know how to respond. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He stared at Luke, his mind swirling in disbelief.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8eAPiWmep
“Luke,” he said finally, his voice shaky, “you’re drunk. You don’t... you don’t know what you’re saying right now.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWygLHgWGoA
But Luke just smiled, his eyes softening, despite the clear haze in them. “I know exactly what I’m saying,” he replied, his voice low and warm. “I’ve known for a while now, Will. I just didn’t know how to say it. You’ve always been there for me, and I... I just want you to know that I care about you. More than just a friend.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWgqC4anHe
William’s heart slammed against his chest as Luke leaned in, closing the gap between them. William didn’t know what to do. His mind screamed at him to pull away, to stop it, but his body was frozen, caught in the moment.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6vetmxyk
And then, Luke kissed him. It was soft, hesitant at first, as though he was testing the waters, unsure of how far to go. But it was enough to make William’s heart race even faster. He could feel the heat of Luke’s lips against his, and the world seemed to go still. This wasn’t just a kiss. It was something more.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUaFEWsNa1
Luke pulled back just a little, his forehead resting against William’s. “I’m sorry, man. I didn’t mean to... I didn’t mean to mess things up,” Luke whispered, his voice suddenly unsure again.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCujtC1oE9
William blinked, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened. His heart was pounding in his chest, but his mind was still reeling. “Luke,” he whispered, his voice almost a broken murmur. “You don’t mess things up. But it's a lot. You’ve been drinking, and you’re not in the right headspace right now.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEVrHYYaQ
Luke’s gaze darted, and he pulled away slightly, his face flushed with embarrassment. “Yeah... you’re right,” he said quietly, his shoulders lowering a little. “I shouldn’t have—”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GDg66xwG
“No,” William interrupted, his voice softer now. “I just... I need to think, okay? This is a lot, and I’m not sure if I’m ready for all of this right now.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaADg3SvwDb
Luke nodded, his eyes downcast. “Yeah. I get it. I’m sorry, Will.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1nX94q12O
William reached over, gently placing a hand on Luke’s shoulder. “It’s not your fault. Just... let’s not rush things, okay?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBxtOYod4O
Luke smiled faintly, his usual carefree demeanor still lingering despite the awkwardness. “Okay. No rush. I just... I needed you to know.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB9VQEsQnP
William sighed, the weight of the moment pressing down on him. There was so much he wanted to say, but everything felt so complicated now. The kiss, the confession—he didn’t know what to make of it.
