Chapter 9
 I Love You

	I got everything i had brought and packed it up. I went home and snuck in through the window, and packed my laptop and some clothes, like compression shorts, shirts and a few jeans. I left a note for my mother on the bed that told her where i was going and why I was staying. I knew she would understand, or at least i sure hope she would.
	
	I was outside Ryan's house now and was scared to go in. I had a weird pit in my stomach that told me i just left something great for something that might not work. But honestly i think im over-reacting about this. I need to go with life, live with Ryan and have something i might've never had before. I have loved Ryan for awhile now and i guess it took me until the day he came out to me to realize it. Heh, I shoulda asked him out a long time ago! But i have him now, and i'm sure everything will be fine.

	Before i could even knock, Ryan came out and susprised me from my day-dreamy state.

	"Heya stud!"

	"AH!"

 I fell backwards onto the concrete porch and was in slight pain. 
	"Oh, are you okay? I didn't mean to startle you THAT bad!" He reached his hand out and i grasped it. He yanked hard and we locked lips. His mother walked out on us and it's weird knowing that she was okay with this.

	"Well look at you two love birds! So sweet!"

	"MOM!" Ryan seemed a bit ticked off. "Some privacy please!?"	

	"Oh sorry, I'll leave you guys alone!"

	As His mom left, he motioned me to follow him, it was apparent we were heading to his room, but I didn't know what it looked like. I have never been to his house before. I'm glad i get to live with Ryan now, and I'm much more happier his mom is accepting. It may be weird at first, but I will get used to it, I'm a very flexible person! 
	
	We finally made it up to his room on the second storym And it was a decent sized room, and it was made for any straight guy, or straight *ACTING* guy alike. It had a 32" Vizio Tv, computer, an Xbox 360, and a bed. The great thing was his bed was a king size, so we had alot of room on that bed! 
	Ehem, aside from my steamy sex fantasies, I really liked his room, Very roomy unlike my room at home where i had barely any room to walk. If I were to use the word 'room' any more in that sentence I might've exploded! Heh, anyways, I sat on the wall next to the bed where it faces his tv.
	"Scott..!!" He said in a childish voice. "Why don't you wanna sit up here on my bed?"

	"Uhh..." There was no great excuse on my mind at the moment, so i blurted what first came to mind.
	"Why don't YOU come down here?"

	"Scott, is there something you wanna talk about?"

	"I-I don't know.. I guess leaving my family who hated me seems so.. Unreal." Ryan came and sat on the floor with me and put his arm around my curled back, as I was in the fetal position.

	"It's alright hun. I promise everything will work out, you just have to trust me." All i could do was nod.

	"Mkay, now come up on my bed, where it is comfortable!"

	"Heh, alright" We had an unplanned makeout session right then and there, which lead to touching and groping, but we decided to not go much farther, since we just started going out, even though I had a boner and was [i]so[/i] turned on.

	I pulled back from the kiss slowly, to catch my breath again.
	"Huff... Woah babe you're.. Huff... A great kisser!"
	
	"I [i]do[/i] have a great lung capacity, You do know I'm on the swimming team right?" I totally forgot about that, maybe that's why he is so toned and slender, not that I'm complaining or anything!

	"Uhh... Heh sorry, I kinda forgot..."
	
	"Nonsense! No need to be sorry hun! Just wanted to check and make sure you were alright with it."
	
	"Why wouldn't I be?"

	"Oh no reason, but now you know I'm on the swim team."

	"Haha, of course! So what do ya wanna do?"
	
	"Modern Warfare 3?"
	
	"Sure!" We played a few games online, then played some games alone. We played for a good hour and a half.

	"Wow, Ryan! You're great with the L118!*"
	
	"Heh, You're pretty good with the MK14.**"

	With all that said and done, It was about 5pm and dinner was ready. I felt very confident about living here. I was happy I could have a family that accepted me, and that I was loved. Loved by someone who had cared about me his whole life, and has never told me! Well I could have guessed by that one time he pointed out if one of his friends didn't smoke, he would be perfect. Me being shy at the time, I didn't speak up.

**FLASHBACK**

	"Where ya wanna eat Scott?"	

	"Gosh, so many places in one mall. Hmm.... Let's go to Taco Bell!"
	
	"Good Answer, Young'n!"
	
	"How many times have i said not to call me that! You're only older than me by a month!"
	
	**Few Minutes Later**

	"Ho Damn!"
	
	"What Ryan? Something caught the eye?"

	"Nope, just almost tripped is all!"

	*Mumble* "Man, there he is, If only he didn't smoke, he could be perfect.."

**PRESENT**

	"RYAN! SCOTT! DINNER!"

	"Heh, you starvin Scott?"

	"Hell yea!"

	As we headed down, he slapped my butt and ran as fast as he could down the stairs. I decided not to chase him to be respectful, but that will change over time. I can't be known as the feminine boy! EW! Anywho, with all the thoughts racing in my head, it seemed as if I was down there in about two seconds.

	"Welcome to your first dinner here Scott!"

	"Thanks, Ms. Lee!"
