Riley unlocked the door to their room, and saw Cameron grabbing a set of clothes to change out of. Everybody was still damp from the sprinklers, and Riley closed the bathroom door behind him once he entered the room.

Cameron peeked a look at the nervous Jessie that was standing by the door. "Everything okay?"

Jessie hesitantly looked at the door that Riley just walked through, and then he looked back at Cameron. "I'm not sure yet."

Cameron packed his set of clothes into his bag and walked towards the door. "I'm going to Chantelle's again so that you guys can talk. Call me if there's a problem, alright?"

"Okay." Jessie whispered quietly.

Placing a comforting hand on Jessie's shoulder, Cameron told Jessie that he needed to fight for Riley. "Don't mess this up baby brother."

Jessie temporarily put on his brave face, and covered Cameron's hand with his own. "Not again."

When the door Cameron left through closed, the bathroom door opened with Riley coming out. Riley was drying his hair with one towel while he passed Jessie his own one to do the same.

Jessie graciously accepted it as he sat down on Riley's bed to dry his hair. Meanwhile Riley did the same, but he deliberately sat on Cameron's bed instead.

The space between them felt like they were miles apart, and Jessie wanted to close the distance between them. He hated how Riley was so close, yet so far away from him.

Riley felt the same way too though. He would look at Jessie, and his body would be drawn instantly to sit next to him.

When they shared the same look whilst looking at each other, that was when Riley made his way next to Jessie. They both were sitting next to each other's sides, but neither of them looked at each other.

"Today's been such a long day." Jessie joked. He thought it would be better to ease the air before it gets too serious - despite it needing to.

Riley only agreed by nodding his head. He began to play with his fingers as his shaking leg matched the anxiety they were both experiencing.

Silenced covered the area between them two. After a while, Jessie was in the middle of speaking when Riley said the things that was on his mind.

"Let's chang-"

"What you said to me before Jessie... That really hurt me."

Riley was deeply saddened as he recalled everything Jessie had said to him. "How could you even think like that about me?"

Jessie knew that he had to face the consequences of his words and actions. As painful as it was to think about, Jessie knew it was equally as painful for Riley to hear. "I'm sorry."

"That's isn't good enough Jessie." Riley was shaking his head as he got up from the bed. "Is it going to be like this forever? You constantly doubting every action I do, because you think there's a secret motive and that I'm using you?"

"No! Riley, I-"

"Because I can't see us working if it's always like this Jessie." Riley painfully admitted, "I just- I don't want us to regret being together when one of us is looking over the other's shoulders."

Jessie got up from the bed as he was vigorously shaking his head at everything Riley was saying. "I was scared, and that's why I lashed out. That wasn't how I really felt, and it definitely isn't how I feel now."

"Then please tell me what happened today," Riley begged. "Because the way you used to hate me was nothing compared to what I felt today."

For a while, Riley thought they were always at a similar mindset at where things were going between them. They were both obviously happy and content being around each other, and Riley knew that is was more than just a casual fling. But the outburst in the classroom derailed everything that Riley understood and hoped for.

Jessie looked away from Riley because he felt too embarrassed over his own dramatic actions. He didn't want to look at Riley's face when he admitted his own fears and doubts out loud. "I pushed you away because I thought we were getting too close."

Riley opened and closed his mouth several times as he listened to Jessie. "Jessie-"

"Everything was too perfect when I was with you - everything felt too right." Jessie began to sadly laugh once he dejectedly sank back down onto the bed. "And I guess I self-destruct when I get everything I ever want."

Riley moved closer to Jessie and forced Jessie to look at him. Asking him the golden question, Riley gently whispered. "What is it that you want?"

Jessie struggled to come up with the right words that he wanted to say. His mind finally managed to let him say the words, as it took a while for Jessie to heart crushingly tell Riley.

"I just want be loved."

Riley saw how Jessie's eyes were already glistening up with tears. He reached to hold Jessie's hands and comfort him, because he knew it was painful for Jessie to say out loud. "Babe..."

Jessie's voice was heavily filled with raw emotion as he was honest in front of Riley. "I'm so scared because I've got the taste of it, and I'm in constant fear that it's going to be ripped away from me."

Riley reached out again to hold Jessie's face. Swiping away the fallen tears, Riley ignored his own as he spoke from his own heart as well. "I'm also scared that I'm going to screw this up. Everyday I'm terrified that I'm going to lose you - when I've waited so long to be with you."

"What are you talking about?" Jessie laughed, "You make it sound like it's been forever."

Riley silently looked away from Jessie as he knew how long he had waited for Jessie. Taking in the silence and the avoided gaze, it dawned on Jessie that Riley may have been serious.

"I'm having a hard time believing that you've genuinely liked me for that long." When Riley responded to Jessie with more silence, Jessie's heart dropped as he had more questions. "Riley?"

"There's something I want to show you."

Riley moved away from Jessie and dragged the chair towards the cupboard. Standing on top of it, Jessie watched Riley reach for a box that was hidden away from everyone.

Jessie looked on as he saw Riley pass him an envelope. When he looked inside of it, he couldn't help but notice how the remains of the worn out paper was all taped up. There was some writing on the piece of paper, and Jessie saw his name in the top left corner.

"What's this?" Jessie asked as held up the letter, "And was it in the hands of a wolverine?"

Riley's emotions were a nervous wreck, but his voice hid it all away. Speaking to Jessie in a calm and assured manner, he explained the nature of his letter. "I wrote this letter to you about 5 years ago."

Jessie had confusion on his face as he had no memory of ever receiving something like this from Riley. Jessie briefly investigated the letter, and he was confident that he had never seen it before.

"I think your parents stopped it from ever reaching you, because they saw what was inside." Riley admitted, "But back to my point..."

Riley closed his eyes briefly, and took a long breath to muster up his courage to tell Jessie about the life changing event. "I've known about my feelings for you since we were young. And even though this letter doesn't necessarily prove any of it, I personally swear on everything that I wrote in that letter - to you."

Jessie swallowed nervously as he watched how Riley didn't either blink or falter in his voice. Jessie had suddenly received so much information in the past two minutes, and Jessie wasn't sure how to process it.

Jessie was curious as to why Riley kept this memento if he looked so painful reliving it. This made Jessie want to read the letter even more, so Jessie asked if he could.

"Go ahead," Riley weakly chuckled. "It was addressed to you anyway, but just 5 years late."

When Jessie's eyes started to hover over the words, he saw Riley immediately stand away from him and move across the room. Riley had his hands in his pockets as he simply shrugged his shoulders when Jessie questioned his movement.

Jessie started to read the letter out loud as he didn't want to deal with any more distractions from reading the letter.

"Jessie. I love you-"

Jessie's voice immediately stopped producing any more words due to the shock. His heart was a nervous wreck, and he looked up at Riley, while he asked the only thing that came out of his mouth. "What the fuck?"

Riley genuinely laughed at Jessie's petrified face, as he explained. "13 years old me would describe my feelings for you as 'love'. Given that I'm older and more understanding about my feelings at my current age, I would probably describe my feelings for you as 'really, really, really, really like you'."

"Catchy."

Riley shyly smiled as he instructed Jessie, "Just keep reading."

And so, Jessie listened to Riley by continuing to read the letter out loud.

"Ever since moving day, and I saw this cute boy with sandy brown hair greet me next door, I knew I felt something for you. For all the years that we've been friends, there's no one else that compares to you. You make me feel smarter when I'm around you. You make me laugh with your stupid jokes and pranks. You just make me so happy that I can't feel anything bad when I'm around you. And you make me want to see you every single day, because everything seems better when I'm with you."

Riley decided to interject, as he couldn't help but nervously laugh at Jessie's unreadable expressions on his face. "I know that you and Cameron looked super identical when we were young, but it was definitely you that caught my eye."

"This would be so awkward if it was actually Cameron that spoke to you first..." Jessie whispered.

Jessie tried to control his erratic heart as he couldn't stop reading all of Riley's words that were for him.

"I've grown to spend time with you every day, and every day I've fallen more and more in love with you. I can't seem to think properly because you're all that's in my mind."

Riley had every word from the letter embedded in his brain by now. Riley would continuously read the letter whenever he felt low, because he knew reading his own words to Jessie would raise his spirits.

But Riley started to feel choked up as he knew what Jessie was going to read out loud next. And it was painful because Riley knew what the aftermath was.

"Meet me under our special spot at midnight today. I can't go on another day pretending to be your friend when I want us to be more. So please come meet me where I can try to accept your rejection, or you can make me the happiest boy on Earth and kiss me under the pier. Love, Riley."

Jessie felt every muscle in his body become weak, as his mind went haywire after reading Riley's special letter to him. Jessie physically couldn't let go of the letter because he was holding it too tightly - as if he was scared that the words would disappear suddenly.

"A bit heavy for a 13 years old me, right?" Riley chuckled.

Jessie looked away from the letter that captured Riley's mind and heart. He looked at Riley from across the room, and Jessie could sense the other boy was also reeking with anxiety and nervous energy.

Jessie managed to fumble his words a couple of times, before he finally managed to say something coherent. "How come you've never mentioned this again?"

Riley had to sit down on the chair because his unsteady legs were like jelly. "For the purpose of this conversation, I'm just going to keep using the word 'love' - since it's easier than saying 'really, really, really, really like you'."

Jessie smiled softly as he kept shaking his head in amusement and disbelief. Jessie's heart was constantly doing little backflips whenever Riley kept using the special four lettered word, but Riley was persistent on showing his feelings for Jessie.

"I was a coward when I wrote how much I loved you back then - or maybe even just naive. It crushed me over the years, to see that you didn't have the same feelings for me. Overtime I just tried to bury my feelings for you with any other girl or guy around. Because I loved you so much that it hurt whenever I saw you not look at me the same way as I look at you."

Riley knew that the fact he slept around with a lot of people was a coping mechanism for not having Jessie. It felt like a dream come true when they started to have sex together, because it all related to what Riley truly wanted.

But since it never went any further than sex back then, Riley kept trying to fill the Jessie shaped sized hole in his heart with other people - until Jessie fit himself perfectly there a couple of weeks ago.

Jessie's mind was slow as he was floored by Riley once again. Riley openly laid his heart out on the line, and Jessie was holding it in the form of the love letter that he never received. "What about now?"

Riley's mouth was painstakingly dry as this was the moment that he was scared of. It took a while for Riley to summarise his feelings for Jessie, but once he did he jet Jessie know.

"I have loved you ever since we were kids, Jessie. While I didn't know what love was back then, I can probably say that I'm as close to love as we can be right now."

Riley didn't know what to expect when he planned to show Jessie the letter. But it seemed that Jessie wasn't reacting badly or with anger, so Riley felt comfortable in moving back to sit next to the love of his life.

"We haven't really 'dated' for that long, but my feelings for you haven't changed over the 5 years, Jessie." Riley then confessed with heavy emotions, "That's why I showed you the letter today, because I wanted to show you that my love for you will never evaporate over time."

Riley took the letter out of Jessie's hands and set it down carefully on the side. Riley automatically began to play with Jessie's hands, as he continued to speak from his beating heart.

"So you can have doubts about my feelings for you. You may feel scared again, and push me away to protect yourself - because that's what you're used to doing. But I want you to keep this letter, as a reminder that I will always love you - no matter what."

Jessie's breath couldn't stop hitching up after listening to every single word that Riley spoke with full honesty and sincerity. Jessie looked at Riley's shining eyes, and the perfect smile that set his entire body on fire.

Jessie realised, in that very moment, that this was all he ever wanted. Riley was giving him the love that Jessie always desired, and Jessie couldn't feel any more happier, idolised, and loved.

The way that Riley was looking at him so earnestly, Jessie felt more secure than he ever has before. "Given that we're still throwing the word 'love' around like that, I... love you too."

Those words were all that Riley wanted to hear ever since they were 13 years old. It may have taken so many years for it to happen, and the journey may have been long and bumpy, but Riley was glad they made it to the end destination.

Jessie has always been in Riley's dreams for so many years, and he felt like he was in a dream right now. Everything was just so perfect, with both of them showing their sincerity in their expressions and their words.

Riley's somersaulting heart began to ease when he leaned in to kiss Jessie. The contact of their lips together grounded Riley, and it anchored him to reality, because he knew that this was all real.

###########

Both of their minds, souls, emotions, and bodies were perfectly synchronised as they continued to lovingly kiss each other.

The sweet and tender moments allowed them both to get lost in each other. Jessie was carefully caressing Riley's face, while Riley let his hands pull Jessie's face closer to his own.

Jessie and Riley soon became even more passionate, as the fire deep down of them was ignited. They became more possessive as they continued to devour each other, and the raw electricity between them intensified.

Riley began to unzip his own jacket that was still worn by Jessie. He removed it in record speed as he then made a move to take of Jessie's shirt - all at the same time as his mouth decorated Jessie's neck with purple marks.

Jessie continued to involuntary moan as he felt the urgency under Riley's actions. He continued to feel stimulated as Riley hands hungrily groped Jessie's bare chest.

Jessie forced Riley's head back in front of him, and Jessie looked into his eyes before crashing their lips together - to summon their pulsating lust for each other.

Riley chuckled slightly when he felt himself get choked after Jessie rushed to remove his shirt. Jessie apologised by tenderly kissing Riley's neck, before forcing his body down onto Riley and making his way back to Riley's lips.

Jessie craved for more as he skilfully removed both of their belts without looking, as he then threw them hazardously in the room.

Both of them slipped their jeans off, as they were now only left in their bulging underwear that were constantly colliding and grinding against each other.

Riley didn't even notice when Jessie began to slick his own fingers up. The scene in front of him was unforgettable, as he was memorised by Jessie opening himself up whilst on top of his body.

Jessie enthusiastically rode his own fingers as he was preparing himself for Riley. His body was constantly rocking as he endured his own fingers, and the motion of his ass sliding against Riley's naked waist was making both of them incredibly hard.

Riley surged forward as his tongue passionately met Jessie's. Moans of pleasure rang inside of each other's mouth, as they became more drawn out while Jessie was riding out his own waves of pleasure from fingering himself.

Jessie let out constant gasps of pleasure, and Riley was completely captured by Jessie's shamelessness. Riley was speechless as he continued to hear Jessie wildly moaned, and that managed to make Riley breath at an irrational pace.

Several minutes later and Jessie felt ready. He rolled up Riley's cock with one hand, whilst continuing to ride himself on his own two fingers.

In a lightning flash moment, Jessie had replaced his fingers with Riley's slicked up, throbbing cock. Riley felt like he was in ecstasy, as the excruciating feeling of having himself tightly pressed against Jessie's hole was making him have the urge to combust.

The deeper Riley's cock throbbed inside of Jessie, the louder the erratic moans both of them wailed. When Jessie felt his prostate brush against Riley's cock, he didn't give himself time to adjust to Riley's cock as he desperately rode Riley with all the of the passion he contained for him.

Riley's breathing was heavier as he felt the tantalising sensation continue to roar them both to life. He braved his hands on Jessie's torso and smoothly rubbed Jessie's abs, because he was loving everything he touched and felt.

Jessie ran his own fingers through his damp hair, as his entire body became more heated and sweaty. He continued to ride Riley enthusiastically, and it made himself more eager to give and receive pleasure.

Time went on as this continued. Riley's fingers moved to Jessie's arched back, as Jessie delved in to hungrily kiss Riley. With their mouths united and linked together, Riley began to thrust his hips repeatedly.

"Ahh-ahh-ahh..." Jessie ravenously moaned.

Riley's signature smirk came out whilst his lips were captured by Jessie. Jessie had slightly pulled his face away so that only their foreheads were touching. Both of theirs arms reached around to wrap around their lover's neck, as their lips were still dangerously close to touching.

With their heads forcefully locked together without their lips touching, Riley continued to passionately thrust while Jessie passionately rode Riley's pleasing cock.

Jessie's entire body was on fire, as his skin continuously tingled with excitement and pleasure. With his breathing far too rapid and his hand clutching onto whatever flesh in front of him, Jessie knew he was close.

Riley saw how Jessie's cock had not stopped dripping with cum, as Jessie's hard cock never stopped whacking his stomach whenever Jessie was riding him.

They both shared simultaneous moans and a similar knowing look between them. Nodding enthusiastically, they both kissed one last time before trying to finally reach their climax.

Riley felt a surge of testosterone control him suddenly. It was unexpected when he summoned the power to lift both of their bodies onto the ground. Jessie had instinctively clung onto Riley's body while he felt himself lifted up, as Riley was on his feet while he lifted Jessie up.

Riley rushed forward to ram Jessie against the wall. A loud thud could be heard as they knocked the shelf above them. It was easily ignored as Jessie was now pressed between the hard wall and Riley's solid body.

Riley firmly held Jessie by grabbing his ass so tightly and so firmly. He continued to hammer his hips inside of Jessie, letting his cock constantly collide against Jessie's prostate, whilst Jessie was still riding his lover in their new position.

Jessie's arms squeezed closer around Riley's neck as he felt the orgasm blast through him. His cock was constantly shooting the thick stream in between their bodies, as Riley's thrusting cock was relentless with pounding him against the wall.

Riley continued to thrust himself inside of Jessie and against the wall - until he finally ejaculated achingly hard. His toes were curled together as his thrusts slowed down, but his sensitive cock never stopped cumming inside of Jessie.

Riley accidentally slammed his head against Jessie, but Jessie met Riley's action by kissing him. Jessie was still clawing onto Riley's back so that he was holding on, all the while Riley continued to make sure he safely held Jessie up in the air and against the wall.

They continued to ride their waves of pleasures, all whilst never separating their mouths and bodies from each other.

When Riley eventually let his hands let go of Jessie's ass, Jessie carefully hopped himself off Riley's semi-hard cock. He let himself be pushed against the wall as Riley pressed his body against his, all the while their stained bodies meshed together.

Riley eventually pushed their bodies back onto his bed. Jessie was still heavily pressed underneath Riley, as their bodies were fully aligned and never separated.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After an extremely long, extremely tiring, and extremely pleasurable shower, both of them were now resting on Riley's bed.

Leaning against the headboard, they both had their hands entwined together whilst resting besides each other. An occasional shy smile would appear from one of them, or a comfortable yet nervous laugh, or even a cocky smirk because of everything that happened in the last couple of hours.

Both of the boys were aching for the sleep their bodies craved, but neither of them were ready to end the night just yet.

A tired Jessie had his head resting against Riley's firm chest. Riley's other arm was used to circle Jessie so that he could keep him close to his chest.

The rest of the night was embarked in silence. They didn't need to exchange any more words that night, because their passion and love were already expressed for each other in different forms.

Old and new words were used to express their love and compassion for each other. Intense and pleasuring actions symbolised everything they felt towards each other. Heart warming and sincere feelings were demonstrated constantly throughout the whole night.

They both sat on the bed comfortable as they spiritually understood how they both felt for each other. And this continued into the night until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

============

Author's Note: There should be 1 more chapter before this story is finished.

Truthfully, the reason the story is wrapping up a bit early is because I've been feeling drained writing lately.

Although it has become a lot more enjoyable recently, I think I really need to take a break since it's been about 6 months of nonstop writing (along with my other story).

So I hope you all understand why this story is ending soon, and I hope you all are looking forward to tomorrow's final chapter for this story.
