BL * "It's Not a Curse"

I've liked him ever since we met in middle school. But I've maintained our best friend status. Because I absolutely don't want us to drift apart. I want to develop feelings for a girl, so if I get confessed to, I'll try dating her, but every time, I get rejected with the same words. Ugh... girls are sharp. ――If I distance myself from him, would these feelings fade away? But just thinking about separating makes my chest hurt. Just as tears were about to come, the intercom buzzed. ◇　◇　◇　◇ This is a short story. I revised it and added a character name on X Novel. *Also posted on other sites (Every Star, Alphapolis, etc.)
