Mark & Leo (Patreon)

"Escucha Leo... ok. lo acepto me gustas. Pero tengo esposa e hijos, y no voy a arriesgar eso por... bueno tú me entiendes, así que discúlpame, pero no puedo corresponderte." dijo Mark mientras bajaba la mirada, y dando un ligero suspiro dijo, "lo siento".

Entonces Leo se giró y se acercó a Mark, y colocando una mano en su hombro le dijo sonriendo, "Hey tranquilo compañero, no pasa nada." entonces Mark exhalo aliviado, "Al menos me alegro de haber podido decirte lo que siento, y también me hace muy feliz saber que tu sientas algo por mi"

Mark aun miraba triste hacia el suelo, Leo era un gran compañero, siempre estaba ahí para él, y le gustaba estar a su lado, platicando de cualquier tontería, sonreía y pasaba siempre los mejores momentos a su lado.
Fue así como lentamente el aprecio, se convirtió en cariño y termino en amor, amor que se juró a si mismo nunca confesar, para no arruinar esa valiosa amistad.

"pero ahora lo arruine todo" pensaba para sí, el esperaba que Leo se molestara y dejara pasar el comentario, pero...

Los pensamientos de Mark fueron detenidos de pronto al ver un par de gotas que chocaron contra el suelo, y levantando rápido la cara pudo ver a Leo llorando mientras forzaba una sonrisa.

"Leo" dijo Mark en un susurro mientras se acercaba a él para abrazarlo, "perdóname", le decía mientras lo abrazaba con fuerza.

"Es mi culpa, yo sabía que no podía ser, lo sabía, ¡sabía que tú y yo... demonios!, nunca espere nada y, aun así, porque duele tanto" lloraba y se quejaba Leo sobre el hombro de Mark.

Mark escuchaba a Leo sin decir nada, cualquier cosa que dijera en ese momento solo lastimaría a Leo, por lo que solo se quedó ahí, abrazándole, esperando que se calmara y así pudieran regresar a casa de Joe.

Pero ahí, con Leo entre sus brazos, y su cuerpo pegado al suyo, sintió por primera vez la calidez del cuerpo de Leo, su aroma inundo su olfato, "leo, mi leo", pensó mientras cerraba los ojos y...

"Listen to Leo... ok. I accept it, I like you. But I have a wife and children, and I'm not going to risk that for... well you understand me, so excuse me, but I can't reciprocate." Mark said as he looked down, and giving a slight sigh he said, "I'm sorry."

Then Leo turned and walked over to Mark, placing a hand on his shoulder and smiling, "Hey, don't worry mate, it's okay." then Mark exhaled relieved, "At least I'm glad I could tell you how I feel, and it also makes me very happy to know that you feel something for me"

Mark still looked sad on the ground, Leo was a great companion, he was always there for him, and he liked to be by his side, talking about any nonsense, he would smile and always had the best moments by his side.
That was how the appreciation slowly turned into affection and ended in love that he swore to himself never to confess, so as not to ruin that valuable friendship.

"But now I ruined everything," he thought to himself, he hoped that Leo would get upset and let the comment pass, but...

Mark's thoughts were suddenly stopped as he saw a couple of drops hit the ground, and quickly lifting his face he could see Leo crying as he forced a smile.

"Leo," said Mark in a whisper as he approached him to hug him, "forgive me", he said as he hugged him tightly.

"It's my fault, I knew it couldn't be, I knew it, I knew that you and me... hell! I never expected anything and, even so, why does it hurt so much" Leo cried and complained on Mark's shoulder.

Mark listened to Leo without saying anything, anything he said at that moment would only hurt Leo, so he just stayed there, hugging him, hoping he would calm down so they could go back to Joe's house.

But there, with Leo in his arms, and his body pressed against his, he felt for the first time the warmth of Leo's body, his aroma flooded his smell, "Leo, my Leo", he thought as he closed his eyes and…
