I can still remember the whole thing like it was yesterday. My best friend in the whole world and I, not long after we came 'out' to each other, went into a gay teen chatroom to meet some more kids just like us. I'm not exactly sure what we were hoping to find at the time, because although we were both as horny as two 15 year old boys could be...we weren't really in it for the 'meat market' appeal. We weren't looking for some quick screw in an alley somewhere, nor were we hoping to find the glory and wonder of true love in the luck of the draw. I think, at least for me, we were just looking to find a few friends to talk to. Some people that we could relate to, maybe trade some cute pics with. And...if they just so happened to be cute...well, hey, you wouldn't find ME complaining.

I believe t only took us about two weeks before we had found three other teenagers in our area that we could faithfully call our cyberfriends, and soon we were going into seperate chatrooms all by ourselves. The five of us would have SO much fun that we lost sleep over it, simply because we never wanted to say goodbye. It was after the first month and a half that we all decided to meet in person. We never really traded pictures or anything, never talked on the phone, but we thought the 'mystery' would be kinda cool for a first meeting. Besides, I doubt that I could impress anybody. With a codename like 'Silencer' online, I was fine, but in real life...I was just plain old Gregory. Mouse brown hair, mouse brown eyes, mouse brown personality. I've never considered myself cute at all, but I think I might have fooled a few people at school into thinking I was on occassion. Now my best friend Johnny? HE was cute. He never thought so either, but it had to be an act. There was nothing outrageously gorgeous or glamorized about him, but he had a natural beauty all his own. And I always loved that.

The other three members of our little crew were Nick, Joel, and Patrick. And even though I never told anyone, I was beginning to have quite the crush on Patrick. He was only words on a screen, no voice, no face, nothing. But there was a beauty in his words that no one else could see. A certain level of heart that was invisible to almost everyone else. The more I talked to him, the more my infatuation turned into puppy love, and as I began to playfully flirt with him back and forth, I began to feel some of that love coming back at me. There were nights when he would type in 'g'night sweetie' and I would get weak inside. My feelings for him would go from 'best friend' to 'love obsession' so fast, that I didn't ave time to prepare for them when they shifted. Causing long pauses of silence in our chatrooms. Then Patrick would ask me if everything was cool, and the fact that he cared would make me giggle outloud to myself. I shouldn't have been wrapping myself up in those feelings so strongly...but it felt good. For the first time I felt so good about myself, and the fact that somebody actually wanted to hear what I had to say and about who I was as a person.
it wasn't until that day that we all met in person for the first time, that Johnny developed the same interest in him that I did.

That one sunny afternoon, we all chose a nearby mall that we could meet at. The third floor music store, right next to the Backstreet Boys cds (Joel's orders, he was quite insistant on that). Joel was the first to show after Johnny and I went to the designated spot. Not a bad looking boy, a bit goofy at times, but still kinda cute. And a huge BSB fan, which of course made him jump for joy when Nick showed up with dyed blond hair and a cute smile. Nick was a Backstreet Boy wannabe, twice removed, but a cutie nonetheless. The four of us had fun joking around and finally getting to know one another in person for the first time. But I was silently keeping an eye out for Patrick. He swore up and down that he was going to be there, so I expected him any moment. My whole body was quivering, and I tried to look as normal as possible so the others wouldn't be able to tell how utterly smitten I had become with this boy. And finally, just when I thought my heart would have been rattled to pieces by the violent nervous tremble coursing through my veins...he showed up!

Oh wow...I don't know if a poet could even begin to put his beauty into words. I think the whole mall stopped when he walked in. Light brown hair with blond highlights, a slim build with snake like hips, a bit taller than me and a broad chest. He was a bit of a waif, but with some mass to him, and his super bright hazel eyes reflected everything they came into contact with. As he approached us, I found myself holding my breath, unable to release it until he shook my hand. I was so happy that he didn't cringe when he first laid eyes on me, he seemed just as friendly in real life as he did online. Moreso. That first day was one of the happiest moments of my life. The five of us, just hanging out, being friends, being able to talk openly about this and that. It was great. And right after that afternoon, we all traded phone numbers and agreed to make it a continuous 'meeting of the minds'. It became a weekly ritual that we all looked forward to on Saturdays. It was truly something special.

It was our third weekend out, when Johnny mentioned to me how cute he thought Patrick was and how he had developed a little crush on him. After that, I just dumped it all on him, how I had been feeling, how much I loved everything about him, the way he talked, his sense of humor, his whole persona was just so enchanting to me. Johnny and I must have spent hours drooling over that boy, talking about how gorgeous he was, and how sweet he was, and the cute little things that he did every single day that we saw him. I really enjoyed having that secret shared between us, me and my best friend. It was something we could blush and giggle about when Patrick didn't know what the heck was going on. However, as always, things began to change.

Joel had found everything that he was looking for in Nick, and the two of them became a couple.
