Hate Is a Battlefield, Love Is the War

***Thursday, after an uneventful week. *** One day before prom***
~Jamie's POV

Today, I was at my breaking point. It was the day before prom, and Törin hasn't asked me to go with him yet. Having waited so long, it didn't even have to be extravagant, I just wanted him to ask. Luckily, all my first classes were without him because I couldn't even stand to look at him.

He had also barely talked to me this week, which made my anger fester even more. If I was being honest, it wasn't all anger I was feeling. I was deeply wounded by his non-acknowldgment of my place in his life, even though, for me, Törin was one of the most important people.

I had planned my confrontation speech for lunch in a very public setting and was looking forward to giving that ass a piece of my mind. The bell rang ending fourth period, but I didn't notice until Tarra poked me in the back.

"Sorry," I mumbled and stood up to go face my demons.

It was lunch now, and I entered the cafeteria and stormed over to the "popular" table. Törin looked at me with his heart-melting green eyes that caught me off guard for a moment. But I couldn't get distracted, I had a mission.

"Törin! Did you forget what tomorrow is?!?!!! You made a promise yo me ass hole!!! You fucking lied, as always! I feel like you couldn't even care less about me... Are you even listening?!?!!" I screamed. People had gone quiet, but Törin wasn't focused on them or me. I was about to walk away when he stood on the table. His deliciously familiar abs clouded my view as his shirt hovered a few inches from his skin. He then looked directly into my eyes.

"Jamie! I know I took a long time to do this, but would you go to prom with me as my BOYFRIEND?!" He shouted for the entire cafeteria to hear. There were gasps everywhere, but I couldn't have cared less.

"Yes," I said while there were cheers everywhere. He hopped down and kissed me right there as a lot of people shouted AWWW. Some people, the football team, and a few other bigots were unimpressed but quickly shut up by our 'Jörin' supporters. He pulled his head slightly back and whispered

"I love you," I cried and nuzzled his head with mine as happy tears streamed down my face. He gently wiped away the salty water.

"I love you too."

After repeating his sentiment, he tenderly told me to sit down at the table with him. He plopped himself in between my legs, which caused me to ferociously blush.

"Were you really afraid I wouldn't ask you to prom?" He questioned. I nodded into his shoulder while I tried to calm my embarrassment while hiding my face.

His friends surprisingly came around and gave him high fives. Even the team's running back Aaron suddenly came out as gay.

I never expected this many people like me here, I love it.

I thought to myself, smiling. I had known I was gay since 2nd grade, but I never expected to end up here, nor did I think i would end up feeling accepted and loved by someone else.

I draped my arms over his shoulders and hugged him until lunch was over. The rest of the classes I had were with him, so I held his hand for the remainder of the day. Törin pulled me over to his car and soothed my sound with a kiss of relief, passion, love, and a hint of lust.

**For those who like graphic scenes, I'm sorry, but I'm keeping it mostly PG, but there'll still be romance, don't worry. **

After a long make-out session, he drove me to his house and ushered me inside.

"Hey boys, how was school?" His mom asked, already used to me coming over constantly. She already felt like my mother in law, hehe.

"Amazing," I breathed. She and Törin chuckled between each other as if she also knew about what he had planned today

"We're going to my room, mom," He said.

"Have fun," his mom replied. Obviously, she knew we were a couple and was very supportive.

Törin sprinted to his room with me it tow. The moment the door shut, I pushed him against the wall, surprising him by making the first move. He didn't care and kissed me back, both of us full of lust and love.

"I love you," he said between kisses. I picked him up by his thighs, forcing him to wrap his legs around me, and carried him over go the bed. It was difficult not to trip as I couldn't focus on anything but the sensation of my boyfriend that I held tight in my arms.  I took a moment to enjoy our reconciliation before I mustered up the brain capacity to detach my lips from his and hover them millimeters from his ear. 

"I love you too, and I'm lucky to have you in my life, I couldn't imagine it without you," I whispered with a heart as full as could be.
