"A-anthony.. I.." He looked nervous and looked away as it was hard to say. There was a lot he was feeling at that moment. He cleared his throat before he spoke though it was low and barely audible. "M-may too... though.. I don't care about height. I do like nice guys though.. r-romantically and... s-s-se...xu..a..a..ally..." Was his face red? He felt like he could barely breath. He glanced up to see if this was really happening and not a messed up dream.
