Do you love me....

How the heck do I do this?

Rays POV

Ugh, have you ever had one of those days where you get up, and your so sick of just everything? Yeah, thats me everytime I get up. Or move. Or anything really. But this morning was different. I actually managed to get up, I said hi to my sister my mom. I even ate something other than coffee! (You can fight me, coffee is breakfast!)

I know why, but I've been trying to ignore it. Ever since yesterday when me and Norman had a moment. His eyes are so pretty. A gorgeous silvery grey, and they were looking right at me. But then Alyssa had to walk in. I feel like we were both leaning in, I don't wanna get my hopes up.

If you haven't figured it out already, yeah, I have a crush on my best friend. I came out as bi two years ago and everyone was really supportive. I only realized I liked Norman about a year ago. Ever since I've taken every opportunity to look at him. Now before you tell me I know it's unrealistic. I mean what are the chances he likes me back?? I should move on. And I'm working on it. I made the decision that by the end of the month I'm gonna confess he's gonna say no and I'll move on. My plan was going amazing. Until later today that is....

~Normans POV

Last night was crazy, my house was a mess this morning so the first thing I did this morning was clean up. Emma came over to help, that alone should have been a sign that she was
Up to something.
"So Norman~"
Here we go..,,
" You didn't forget about the dare did you?" She said while throwing out the trash bags.
" (sigh) no Emma" this was gonna be a long conversation.
" oh that's good" silence... for all of three seconds"So when are you gonna do it then?"
Of course that's what she asks.
But in all fairness the dare had been on my mind since they said it. I have no idea how I'm gonna do this. Texting feels impersonal. Calling makes me look like a coward. And then there's the actual mention of the date. Where should I take him? He hates socializing, so no where where there's a lot of people. He hates public spaces, so no movies.
And this all depends on if he says yes. I always thought that I didn't have a crush on my best friend, I mean I was super supportive of him when he came out as bi, but I never really thought that I might be gay. But my rep exists for a reason, I always have a plan. This is my grand plan. Tomorrow first thing in the morning I'm gonna walk up to him, and say Ray will you go out with me this Saturday? And hopefully he'll say yes. I can't wait for tomorrow..... the suspense is killing me.

THE NEXT DAY(Monday)

~Rays POV

Well so much for a good day. It's Monday. Whoopdie dee do. Ugh in case you haven't noticed I hate mondays. My only consolation is I get to see Norman now on the downside every class I have with him I'll be completely distracted and I'll be mopey cause I know he'll never like me that way..... or so I thought.
This morning he walked up to me and he looked so nervous which was honest to god so adorable. And he said the words I've been waiting to hear for so long.
" Ray will you go out with me this Saturday?"
He looked so hopeful, and damn those eyes.
And I answered, oh so eloquently....
"Ummmm could you repeat that?"
