It wasn’t my opinion, but fact the sun shined just for Danny.
I met my best friend Danny in fifth grade and we had an instant connection. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him, including protecting him from bullies, and taking him to prom when he had no one else to go with as a gay kid. Watching him go off to the ivy-league school of his dreams was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I want him to have the world. I always believed he’d come back to me one day.
Years later, when I get a call from Danny’s frantic mother telling me Danny has been assaulted and is in the hospital, I don’t think twice about leaving everything behind to take care of him.

Danny:
“I wish you could see what I do–a sweet guy that would do anything for the ones he loves, because he is good and caring, and the best kind of human being.”
I’m living my dreams of a great career, a nice apartment in Chicago, and great friends. But one night it all comes to an end at the hands of bigots. When I wake up in the hospital, I can’t even do basic things like eat or walk on my own. But at my side is the best friend, my greatest love, who I’d left behind in our small hometown. He’s always had my back, and as things begin to turn around, an old spark—one I thought was one-sided—reignites.

Do we dare we take things further and risk destroying our friendship? Or were we always more than friends?
