Myself and a male friend met originally last year through a friend, both of us at the time in happy relationships. We clicked through conversation almost immediately, we're both creative, a little eccentric, we love making music and working with our hands. Needless there was a lot to talk about. We talked and we talked a lot, most days actually. Our respective partners didn't have a problem with it because our relationships still came first. I spent a lot of time with him, writing, jamming, talking about the future. We both have big dreams, we want to travel, make our marks on the world.
About 6 months ago my relationship went sour, my partner was 7 years older than me (I'm 20 if that's any indication), we were at a party and after he'd been drinking too much, we had an arguement about it because it was becoming a regular thing. He punched me in the face and split my lip, I ran into the bathroom and tried to mop myself up only to be found by my friend...who promptly flipped his lid, punched my now ex back, he took me back to his place, mopped me up and put me to bed. He slept on the sofa.
Not long after his relationship didn't last either, his girlfriend had apparently been cheating on him for the last 2 months. He turned up at mine needing someone to talk to, we stayed up until 5am, I cooked for him and just listened like he had done for me. We shared a bed that night (or morning I guess) but no funny business went on, we both just crashed.
Ever since then we've both been spending more time together, we live between eachother's places pretty much and talk a of a lot. We've shared beds but just for sleeping. Until last night, neither of us could really sleep and he asked if I needed a hug, not an unusual thing. We snuggled down and I'm not sure who started it but next thing I know we're kissing, even then he showed nothing but respect for me.
It just all seems so sudden. I just need a perspective who I'm not close to and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you for reading.
