Rob’s tender age brought him to uncertainties and identity crisis.  This stage being 16 made him confused of what his inner self is shouting.  He was actually more petrified of the consequences of letting himself indulge in this baffling state of mind and body.

What would his parents feel?  What if he tells his friend that he feels something not ordinary towards fellow teenage boys?  What would this attraction lead him to?

But when he saw Eldrich this afternoon he did not stop himself from kissing him on the cheek.  Eldrich did not flinch but was shy.  All of Rob’s doubts vanished.
