I know that's true and it's wrong, but I can't help how I feel about you. It's like a part of me longs for your attention in a way no one else could give. And now that we're older, maybe there's something more...intimate between us? Please don't hate me or think less of me because of this secret. I just want to be close to you, in any way possible.

I can't help but smile at that. It makes me feel so warm inside knowing you think I'm cute. Maybe...just maybe there is something more between us? Even if we can never act on it or tell anyone else, couldn't we just explore these feelings together in secret? Please say yes, brother.
