Exerpt from the fic:

Chanyeol was used to dealing with unexpected confessions. He was quite popular with the ladies, and had had quite a few girlfriends along the way. He was used to the shy expressions, the whispered declarations, the reddening complexions. 

But what he wasn't prepared for was a confession from his best friend and neighbor, Byun Baekhyun.

Baekhyun stopped walking beside Chanyeol who continued on a few steps, still blabbering away about the unfair math exam Mr. Kim scheduled for that day. He almost didn't notice as the shorter fell behind, until he attempted to prop an elbow in the space where Baekhyun's shoulder was supposed to be.

When he turned around, Baekhyun's eyes were staring into his with that intense look that he always got whenever they'd face off in Mario Kart.

Chanyeol never liked this look on Baekhyun. It always made him uneasy when Baekhyun wasn't his normal mirthful self, "What is it? Hurry up, we're going to be late."

"Chanyeol."

"Yes, what?"

"I'm gay."

Whoooosh. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of Chanyeol's comprehension flying right out of his skull.
