"Hey, Joshua, you looked at me just now and blushed, didn't you?"
The moment the phone screen went dark, Luther immediately clung to Joshua, refusing to let him go. Joshua nodded honestly.
Luther froze for a second. Usually, if anyone looked at him and blushed, he'd instantly assume they were a bit… well, gay. After all, what kind of guy looks at another guy and blushes?!
But because this was Joshua, Luther couldn't explain why his own heart suddenly started beating a little faster.
He quickly followed after Joshua, speaking in a probing tone, "Why, though?"
He told himself he didn't really care—he just wanted to know why Joshua had blushed, that was all.
But… what if Joshua said he liked him?
Luther pressed his lips together, feeling uneasy. No, if Joshua said he liked him, he'd have to reject him—absolutely. He'd steer Joshua back to the right path. They'd stay best friends for life!
"I just thought you looked wonderful," Joshua finally said.
