Camp Closeted

Jesse's voice appeared again. "Hope you don't mind, but I gotta ask." I quickly looked back at him. "Why does your nose bleed every time I kiss you?" He bit his lip in curiosity as I sighed at the question.

I took a moment to reply, but I finally did. "My nose bleeds only when I'm nervous." My voice was audibly embarrassed as his mouth quickly widened. "That's how it's always been ever since I was young. I was always bullied about it in middle school. People can be so mean but it's actually something I'm really insecure about."

"I make you nervous?" He raised a perfectly structured brow at me as shadows casted by the moon began to define his perfect face. I nodded sheepishly, making his mouth quickly widen out more as he spoke louder from happiness. "Micah that's so fucking cute!"

"Not really." I threw him a look of denial as he replied.

"Yes it is! I find that really cute for some reason." He looked at me directly as our legs brushed against each other. "I don't want you to be nervous of me though. What's there to be nervous about anyway?"

His question about me being nervous just made me nervous and I'm nervous to answer this question about me being nervous because I'm nervous right now!

Thankfully, I still found the strength to answer. "I don't know. You're just so built and tall, and also it doesn't help your eyes are so intimidating. You're just dreamy I guess and all of it makes me so nervous." I admitted as I couldn't help but begin to rant about him being so unfairly attractive.

Jesse looked at me completely and utterly shocked as to how careless I was to compliment him. "Wow, way to boost my self esteem." He chuckled deeply as my eyes widened at him. "I'm kidding, but no one has really complimented me like that before, not even my exes, so thank you." His cheeks warmed up to me.

"Speaking of exes, why does Tristan try and make sure you don't date anyone else anyway?" I couldn't help but ask.

He just shrugged as his eyes looked off to the distance. "Dick was too bomb so it made him crazy." I narrowed my eyes at him as he loudly chuckled, slightly echoing around us. "Tristan and I were just together for such a long time. Such a long time to the point that none of us even broke up with each other, but instead, just faded away."

"If you guys just faded away and stopped talking why does he care so much?" My voice was a lot more stern this time as Jesse noticed this but he ignored it.

Jesse sighed. "Probably seeing me with other people just constantly reminds him of us never having a closure. I moved on, he clearly hasn't."
