The Lover I Have Cultivated Since Childhood

I went over to my childhood friend's place to retrieve something I'd left behind.

By accident, I overheard a conversation between him and another man.

"Stuck, damn it!"

"What should we do? Want me to help?"

"Sure, come on over!"

"Get lost. Just get stuck there."

I clamped my hand over my mouth, eyes wide as saucers.

The guy I had a crush on was gay!
