tommy and i locked hands as we walked around the gymnasium. instead of its usual sporty get up, it was decorated wall to wall in art, with displays and desks scattered on the floor in an orderly fashion.
we had both agreed to see each other's work last, so we would both intentionally avoid the areas where our projects were on display. the projects that were displayed were all very lovely. it ranged from art and video edits, to poetry and music. because of the hefty amount of projects that was chosen, it was a few hours until we went to show each other our own.
we went up to mine first. i covered tommy's eyes with my hands and led him to the display. i smiled and took a deep breath before showing him.
his expression was filled with awe. he looked at me, back at the painting, then back at me again. "holy shit..." he let out a small breath, "its me. its fuckin' me!"
i smiled as i watched him continue to examine it. "you... you like it, right?"
tommy vigorously nodded, "i love it! its me!" his wide-eyed grin softened to a gentle smile. "i know i talk myself up all the time but, you made me look... not awful like i normally do."
i tilted my head and frowned, "what do you mean?"
"i don't..." he trailed off, thinking of what to say, "i don't think im 'attractive'. i have these dumb stupid freckles, acne, and this horrible fucking posture--"
"заткнись, черт возьми," i cut him off, my voice stern. "do you know how pretty you are?"
he was taken aback, and stumbled on his words, making him unable to say anything.
"the project was to paint something we love," i intertwined my fingers with his before kissing the back of his hand softly. "Вы довольно, красивый, И Бог Я тебя люблю."
although he didn't understand what i had said, he still flushed pink and smiled at the floor. after showering him with compliments on compliments, he finally managed to make me stop so he could show me his project.
as we walked over to the editing and film side of the gymnasium, i felt tommy's hand clam up, and his breath get shaky. i gave him a reassuring smile, and soon we were in front of desk, a blue tablecloth laying on top along with a monitor and button.
with his free hand, tommy pressed the button. he gulped, and the video began to play.
it was a black screen at first, and it stayed that way as the music started to play.
I need to cry But I can't Get anything out of my eyes Or my head, did I die?
i smiled, thinking back to when this song played as we danced in the park, only the moonlight illuminated our dumb toothy grins.
the first clip faded onto the screen. over the music, i could hear tommy and myself.
"what?oh! говно! hallo!"
"chat! this is y/n! you'll be seeing them a lot, probably. no-! no, chat they- they're not- we are not dating!"
"нет! нет нет нет- we're basically соседи по комнате... ah, whats the english word..."
"roommates! is that what you meant to say?"
i let out a small chuckle, thinking back to what was only the end of last month. the next clip, another bit from a stream, began to play.
"chat! look! look at this! y/n painted this! and they let me keep it! aren't they amazing?! look at this shit! you said its older right? when and why did you paint it?"
"ah- i painted it months ago. i guess when my parents told me i would become an transfer exchange student it.. inspired me i guess."
When I need to so bad but I can't see her
My Juliet, my special girl
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO CHAT PLEASE DO NOT Y/N DOESN'T NEED TO SEE THAT."
"tommy play it again..."
"no, please don't bully me for this."
"play it again. i'm not going to bully you for it."
"why did you want to watch it again?"
"ты привлекательный..."
the next clip that played wasn't from a stream, but instead from the day at the park.
"tommy! look! another dog! hi dog!"
"y/n-- jesus slow down"
"sorry!"
Sometimes I act like I know But I'm really just a kid
"sit! i am getting us ice cream."
"what? y/n its -1 degrees! that's just under freezing."
"yeah yeah whatever, i'll be back."
the music then matched up with next clip. i saw as our silhouettes swayed back and fourth under the moonlight.
I wanna make A colour that no one else has seen before I wanna be so much more I hope that she Looks at me and thinks "shit, he's so pretty" Something I can't believe
i felt a tear fall down my cheek, causing me to chuckle slightly then swallow my breath. i felt tommy squeeze my hand. i looked to see him crying too, causing us both to laugh.
while the instrumental intermission played, pictures flashed on the screen. it was the cute fanart that we would constantly show each other, and in the bottom right of the screen was the twitter @s of the artists.
Sometimes I act like I know, but I'm really just a kid With two corks in his eyes, and a bully in his head
short clips then played. they varied of tommy and i laughing, me sitting in his lap, me throwing my head into his chest in embarrassment, and us just smiling at each other.
Sometimes I act like I know, but I'm really just a kid With two corks in his eyes, and a bully in his head
the video faded to a black screen with white text. it was impossible to stop the waterworks when i read it.
"Я тебя люблю"
