Let Me Be the One

Finn and I grew up as best friends. Sons of renowned politicians. Living life in the public eye but hiding the parts of us which we were most afraid to reveal. I was a closeted gay dude. Finn was a closeted...something. Serious and introverted...seemingly straight, he never looked at me the way I couldn't help but look at him sometimes. As we turned into young men from carefree teenagers, family and societal expectations entered the mix and one dreadful day, Finn got engaged. I had no choice but to suck it up. Because in worlds like ours, a guy didn't end up marrying his best friend. He ended up losing him to a girl.
