the wet grass felt cool against my arms and neck. i was laying in a grassy feild a quarter of a mile from my house. my best friend since sixth grade was lying next to me. i looked over at keith and watched him open his eyes. "wow, it's bright." i laughed at him and he scoweled at me. i laughed again. he closed his eyes and rested his head on my stomach. i smiled and poked one of his eyes. he groaned and pushed my hand away stubbornly. we were laying on the inclined part of the feild. this part up here had trees scattered across it. keith had his left knee up and i had my right hand under my head so my arm made a triangle. "keith," i complained, "let's do something." keith opened his eyes to me and said "your mother," i grinned. i stood up slow enough for keith to lift his head. "awwww!" he cried. he rolled around a couple of times and decided to get up. when his eyes adjusted to the light, he started walking slowly in the grass. i followed up behind him. "where are we going?" he smiled and said "you'll see." i hmphed at him in reply. he exposed his Sidekick LX and flipped it up. "who are you texting?" i leaned in to get a look. "ummmm . . . . Dylann." i caught him right as he was closing it, waited until he went for his pocket and snatched it. i broke into a sprint, heading for absolute nothing (more like absolute feild). "hey!" keith shouted and ran after me. i smiled as he yelled "Ryan, i need that to survive!!!" we ran, glorified in the long green grass. it brushed our hips as we glided by it. keith stayed a good six feet away from me in the persuit. we ran and ran until i lost footing and tumbled. keith boosted his speed and with that, tripped on a rock. he caught himself with his arms. he landed right over me with his hands in the grass on either side my ribs. he collapsed from exhaustion, laying his head on my chest near me neck. we both breathed heavily for a minute and with my eyes still closed asked me "why'd you do that?" i smiled and answered "i needed something entertaining to do. he giggled and searched for my hand with his. when he found his Sidekick in my right hand, we curled his fingers around it. "my baby," i heard him wispering. his hand stayed wraped around his phone. his fingers touching mine. i felt my heart warm. i couldn't help but smile. all i could see of keith was kis long purposfully messy hair in the back. on the front of his face his black bangs covered what i could have been able to see of his eyes. but i saw his lips in a small smile. my long black hair (both of ours was just past our ears, and then some) fell in front of my eyes, blocking my vision. i stuck my tounge out at it and used my empty hand to push them aside. keith sensed movement and brought his head up to see what was happening. unfortunetly, his hair fell straight in front of his eyes. he cursed and i pushed his hair to the side for him. he smiled in thanks. he looked uncertin for a moment, then extended his neck so his lips where only a couple of inches from mine. he hesitated for a moment, almost uncertain. i saw where he was going and completed his task. i pushed my lips against his and that was that. we kissed for what i thought was around eight seconds. our lips parted and we exchanged looks of confusion, but yet happiness. all i was thinking then was that keith was a really good kisser. while we where kissing, keith had cast the Sidekick into the grass and slid his hand into mine. he kissed me again, shorter this time and rolled himself over onto the grass (all while managing to keep a good grip on my hand). he smiled at me and said "when did you know?" i laughed and asked "when i liked boys or when i liked you?" he paused, then answered "ummm, both? but only if you want." i pondered for a second and replied "i first knew when i liked guys when i met you. i first knew i liked you when we met back in sixth grade as locker partners." i smiled and told keith he was next. "hmm. i knew in fifth grade when Mikey was in my class." my eyes widended. "oh man, Mikey is hot. he was in my home room in sixth grade." i laughed. "so anyway," keith continued, "well i guess it wasn't just because he is hot, but you know. like whenever i was around him i would blush. normal boy/girl stuff. well i did have a crush on him." i smiled and gently squeezed his hand. he smiled back. i laughed and asked keith "do your parents know?" he got lost in thought for a little bit. i waited patiently until reality shot back into his eyes (this happens quite often). his eyes were a bit blank as he turned his head towards me. he looked down when he said "ryan . . . i love you," when he looked up at me, he smiled and i saw warmth in his eyes. i smiled so big that i could hardly say i love you back. i leaned in saying, "and now i have you," our lips met once again. after a while, we layed back down in the grass. keith sighed dreamily and looked over at me to say "and now i have you." i returned his smile. i stood up abruptly, guiding keith with our locked hands. i stretched. "my legs hurt," keith agreed. i warned him, then broke into a run. we ran once again towards the hill. the grass slipped as we passed it. i finally felt free. i had been waiting so long for this. for keith and i to tell the truth. then these words crossed my mind. i love him. i gazed at keith. he smiled at me. and he loves me back.
