friend zone

they both stood on the balcony. One was smoking a cigarette while the other was ranting about his day.

"i have..something to tell you" he says while exhaling a puff of smoke.

"yeah? what is it" he says while glancing at the other.

this only made him even more nervous, but he gathered enough courage.

"so..you've heard about girls having crushes on boys right?"
this made the other excited. The sudden change in mood made him feel at ease, like he had a chance.

"ah, yeah! that reminds me of this girl i kinda like"
this only made his heart sink.
"we've been talking alot lately. I think she likes me cause she always follows me around and talks to me every chance she gets"

he couldn't focus on the conversation anymore. All he could focus on was his cigarette shortening into a bud.

(back with a short little angsty queer story :] )
