Just friends... right?

It only got worse when you two started getting physical, holding hands, cuddling on the couch, sharing small kisses on the cheek and forehead but never on the lips. Hell, seven months ago he crawled in your bed muttering about nightmares and hasn't slept in his own bed since.

Your other friends gossip on the side and know it's only a matter of time before one of you makes a move. Now you two are well into your college years, you're roommates, and the tension is thick enough to cut with a knife. The dynamic between you and Jake is obvious to everyone but you two.

Normally he would have confessed years ago, but he grew up with extremely conservative role models who taught him that homosexuality is a sin his whole life, it's hard to turn that around
