Levi had been here a week visiting. I showed him everting within a twenty mile radius. Which is not much. We spent nine months together over in Syria and in the middle of hell keep each other from going crazy. We credit each other for saving our life. A month ago we finally get to go home. Levi chooses to surprise his girlfriend. The whole town was under the impression they had broke up shortly after he left. She had started dating one of Levi's friends. Levi shows a few people texts she had sent three days ago. All of them saying she loved him and cannot wait until he is back home. He borrowed his Dad's truck and took off. That was three weeks ago. Then he showed up here last week.
He is packing up his stuff not that he brought a lot. We have made the basement of my parents house ours. We have the be the strangest friends. He is a country hick, that graduated at the top of is class and then joined the military. I made the top one hundred coming in at 97 out of 198 students. A redneck cowboy from Texas. Levi and I can talk about anything and do. We had told each other all the high lights of our lives a few time. He became an expert on baseball because that what I watched. He would watch a chess match, tennis, bowling, football.
Out of the blue and new conversation. One we had never had before he going off how weird his life is since we met. He has had a few best friends but not like me. He claims that knowing how much smarter he is then I am. Why do I get into these discussions that make him question his point of view. Then he said now was his turn. He would like to suggest we are in love with each other. The over nine months we got to know each other and fell in love. became best friends. Cared about each other happiness and well being. If that is not love I am not sure what is. Everything we could do except the actual gay stuff. See I think if this is really two guys in love the sex part though it is gay should not be a problem.
I replied almost in tears, and nervous as hell. Kiss me Levi and let's fine out.
He did in fact kiss me and we were in fact in love with each other. My only hesitation and my only excuse was... He was obviously the husband in this friendship making me more the wife. I was also straight until he kissed me. after that I could not get to gay fast enough. We got there and then my parents show up like two minutes later. We moved into an house a week later. No one said the right person had to be the opposite sex. It would have been nice if someone said love does not work like you think it should. Saying goodbye was too hard for both of us. We had to come out to keep each other.
