"I'm not interested in females right now…"
She smiled weakly, half jokingly and half facing reality. "So you're interested in males, then?" He did not answer, not because she spoke the truth, but because she spoke like him. Like a sword, cruel and cold, but filled with disappointment. "I'm sorry; I don't know what came over me..."
"Its fine," he replied, glancing at her for the first time since her confession. His crimson eyes locked upon hers, those bright misfortune eyes. He could not pull away and she continued to gaze upon, enchanting him until he turned swiftly, and the silence stunned them again.
She left soon after, with a poorly hidden lie, unable to bear the rift of their friendship. He did not look when she left; he no longer met her gaze. He was cautious. To stare in her eyes once more, to open the door to her feelings, her heart, her soul-
He was afraid his eyes would betray him, and unlock the door to his truth as well.
