It all started in Science...

I was sitting at the back of my Chemistry class when I first noticed him. His black curly hair, his piercing blue eyes and his pale skin. He looked younger than everyone else, but much smarter. We had been in the same class for the last two months and yet I had only just noticed him. We were in our first year at the Sixth Form College of Camelot. He was in two of my classes: Chemistry and Biology. I think his name may have been 'Mordred' but he was so quiet that I didn't really know. He just sat there all lesson listening to the teacher. During the 'ice-breaker' lesson we all had to reveal one unique fact about ourselves. He said 'I am only 15! But, I am 16 in December!' Apparently his mother made him skip year one because it was 'useless'.

"Merlin! Please pay attention and stop ogling over the back of Mordred's head! You have less than two months until your January exams and if you want that A then you must know this!" exclaimed his teacher: Gaius. This made the class laugh! Everyone knows that I am gay, but up until this point I haven't shown any interest in anyone. I could feel my cheeks turning red as the embarrassment kicked in; it looked like Mordred was doing the same, but he turned round at me and gave a small smile. No! Not a smile! More like a smirk. This just made me blush even more! I put my head down and spent the rest of the lesson staring at my desk.

At the end of Gaius's lesson (and I use that word loosely). I was one of the last out of the door, Gwen must have left already and Morgana would have been in French with Freya. Which meant I now had to do the awkward walk around college to find someone I knew. It didn't take long for me to find someone; in fact, I think it would be more accurate to say they found me. As I walked out of the door Mordred tried to walk in. We both collided into one and other and he ended up on top of me with his cheek brushing against mine. He then lifted his head up above mine and I could feel his dark curls brush against my face "I, er, forgot my bag" he blurted out"
"Oh, um, yes! Your bag" I nervously replied "sorry about staring earlier; I couldn't help myself"
"It's okay, I think you may have been the first person to actually notice me all year"
"That can't be right! A handsome guy like you! Must have all the girls swooning whenever they see you"
"Well, they may do. But, I am more into guys" he said this awkwardly: like he was ashamed.
"Really? That's great! Fantastic even!"

"You don't find me weird or sick?

"Why would I think that? I'm gay, too!"

"Really? I have never met another gay man! Well, there was that one guy: but that was just briefly!"

"Would you like to get off me now, just, I am starting to lose the feeling in my leg"

"Oh, of course! Sorry, I was just happy!"

"I could tell" I couldn't help but giggle at my innuendo.

"Oh, that's awkward. Would you like to get a coffee sometime?"

"I'm free now if you like?"

"Awesome" and with that we both walked off. Towards the café to get a coffee and have a chat. If I had known what was to come: I may have asked him to stay on me for longer.
