It all started my senior year.... I can't remember the exact moment but it was like a switch went off when I finally noticed him. It's kind of embarrassing to think that we've shared a couple classes the past years with him being only one grade behind me and our high school consisting of only 150 students or so. He just wasn't someone I noticed until I noted how mature he'd gotten. His name is Gerome, and yes its pronounced just like Jerome, I still don't know why his parents went with that spelling but anyways......He was only 17 at the time but he more resembled someone in their mid 20s. He was one of those guys who's beard was coming in already and not to mention his size....

He was one of the biggest guys in high school, he worked hard in the weight room but when you saw his dad you would be able to tell that he had good genetics too. He came from a family of polar bears so naturally he had the benefit of height standing at 6'6" and he weighed in at 280 pounds.

I'm a fox measuring at 5'5" and 120 pounds. So compared to me, he was an absolute beast. My names Dustin and before you base me off of stereotypes, no I'm not a slutty fox who sleeps around with any guy who was interested. I will admit I do get horny a lot but hey what high school guy doesn't?!

I was always small growing up though. My mom had complications when she was pregnant with me and I was born premature so I got the short end of the stick when it came to height and weight. So I stuck with playing the drums in our high school Pep Band at all of the sporting events. I never really thought I was a band nerd or anything, our school was small enough where our classes never had really strong cliques. Sure we talked and hung out with people who had more similar interests but everyone helped everyone out when needed, no matter who it was.

Gerome was no different. He may have looked intimidating with his size and he always had that look like he was a gruff and tough guy. And not to mention his eyes..... They were one of my favorite features of his. Ice cold blue that when he'd look at you, they would pierce through your soul and somehow terrify and excite you at the same time.

I remember I was standing in the high school grandstand section at one of the football games. The school year had just started and it was one of the first times I really noticed Gerome. He was a lineman for both defense and offense and he was having a great game. He had 3 sacks on defense and was making plenty of room for the running back on offense. If I didn't notice him before I sure noticed him now. The game was close, we were up by six but they had the ball on the 8 yard line with 4 seconds to go in the game. Their head coach had just called a time out.

As Gerome ran off the field, he was looking up into our section of the crowd and I could swear his blue eyes were on me. Was it just my imagination? Am I over thinking it with my new feelings for him?

It was too tough to tell.

"Oh my gosh I'm so nervous, I hate when the games are this close!" Said one of my best friends Danielle. She was a beautiful gazelle who was in the same grade as me. Her boyfriend is a wide receiver on the team.

"I know isn't it crazy? We need a big stop here!" I reply with my gaze still focused on Gerome. He finally looked down into the huddle but before he does I could swear he winked at me! No, no stop it.... you're just trying to force thoughts in your head. There's no way a guy like Gerome could be gay. He's been with girls before and everything.

"Hey are you ok?" Danielle says, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What? Oh yeah I'm fine. It's just been a long week." I try to play it off. Being a gay fox in a small town would not be the best thing, especially for someone as small and vulnerable as myself. So for now I'm just staying in the closet until I graduate and get the hell out of here.

"Psh you're telling me! That chemistry test killed me today." Danielle exaggeratedly said. "I'm just happy the weekends here and I have nothing to do but partyyyy!" She sings, laughing at her self.

I half heartedly chuckle..... I can't help but turn my attention from her back onto the field and back on Gerome in particular. He's running back out with the rest of the team, lining up for the snap.

"Huh huh hike!" The opposing teams quarter back called. Next thing I know, Gerome and the big moose next to him switch positions and cut right through their line. Tying up and confusing the offensive line. Together they're heading for the quarterback and sack him as time runs out. The crowd goes wild!

"Oh my god!!!" Danielle screams. I have to plug my ears just to not go deaf. I focus my attention on the big polar bear. I can't help but feel a sense of pride for Gerome. What a play that was! I see him take off his helmet and hug his fellow teammates. "C'mon lets go!" Danielle calls as she heads down the bleachers heading towards the field. It's always a customary thing we do after any home game is go congratulate or console the team. Thankfully this one is the better of the two.

"With the win tonight the Oak Hills Tigers clinch a spot in the playoffs!" The announcer declares on the PA system. Another cheer erupts from the crowd. "Wow I knew we were having a good season but I didn't know it was that good!" I over hear someone say.

By the time I catch up with Danielle she is already slipping under the rope partition that separates the crowd and the field. I see her run for her boyfriend Cade. A wolf who is only a few inches taller than me but has a good 80 pounds of muscle over me. She jumps up and hugs him, squealing the whole time congratulating him. I cant help but laugh at her over excitement. "Yeah great game buddy! Get ready to kick some ass in the playoffs!" I call out over Danielle to Cade.

The next thing I know I'm being lifted up from behind by two big white strong arms. "Did you see that?!" A deep voice declares right behind me. I can feel his baritone voice resonate from his chest. A wave of musk hits me. "Playoffs here we come!" Gerome spins me around a couple times. I laugh awkwardly, wanting to pinch myself thinking it's a dream but also not knowing what to do or say. "Congrats Gerome" Is all I can think of. Being small I'm used to being manhandled a little bit. But when it's your crush it hits different.

He sets me back down after a couple spins, chuckling to himself. "Thank you. Did you see that last sack?!" He says flexing his big arms, his mouth turns upward into a cocky grin. I can't help but notice his jersey is absolute soaked in sweat. 'Damn he smells so good' I think to myself.

"Gerome's just lucky he had a mismatch on the line!" Calls out Cade. Disrupting my moment with Gerome. "Ha yeah right! Any of those guys woulda been a mismatch. Have you seen me?" He taunts back, heartily laughing.

The coaches suddenly blow their whistles, signaling the team to huddle up and discuss the game before hitting the showers. "Hey you'll be at Kourtney's tonight won't you Dustin?" Gerome asks while slowly starting to move away. Why was he wondering if only I would be there? I wasn't an avid party-goer. Not saying I was completely innocent but I tried to stay away if I could.

"Hell yeah I'll be there!" I found myself saying before I could even think about it. 'What am I doing?!' I think to myself. 'Am I really going to a party just to hang out with this big beefy beast of a bear?! Of course I am' I reply to myself. "Alright cool, see you there! Go Tigers!" He declared jumping a couple times before running off into the huddle. I can't help but stare at his huge v shaped back. Well, it looks like I'm going to a party tonight.
