What a promposal!

When Las Vegas high school junior Anthony Martinez needed a date to their May 2 prom, his best friend Jacob Lescenski answered his call in the sweetest way...which has made them Internet stars.

"You're hella gay, I'm hella str8, but you're like my brother, so be my d8?" a red banner carried by three people red, as seen in a photo both guys posted on Instagram earlier this week.

"He's 100 percent straight, I promise, but he's a real man 'cause he has the guts to fulfill his best friend's dream and take him to a dance," Martinez wrote. "I couldn't ask for a better friend."

"Couldn't go to prom with anyone better than this amazing guy who I can call my brother," Lescenski said. "Thank you for being you, I love you man."

News about the promposal went viral on social media and the two have received a slew of supportive messages.

The two filmed an Instagram video to thank their new fans.

CNN said Lescenski was initially anxious about being judged over his promposal.

"If it made Anthony happy and fulfilled his dream of going to prom with a guy and had a date to prom myself, nothing else mattered," he said.
