Edgar's POV- I was painting as I normally would when my canvas and paint brush snapped in half. I gasped at the sight and stood there dumbfounded, the painting was okay but the back would need fixing and I would need my brush fixed or else I couldn't paint at all. I panicked and looked at it. I need this fixed now but I don't know how to fix it... I only know how to paint canvases, not fix them. I went around the whole manor asking anyone if they knew how to fix it and even Tracy told me she didn't- I have a feeling that was a lie but she told me she thinks Luca can fix it.

Lovely Luca of all people... he's the last one I wanna see right now. It's not because of anything he did or that happened, it's because I don't know how to express my feelings to him. I hate to say it but I'm in love with Luca, and now I find it hard to even be near him. I don't want to avoid him but I don't know how he feels or make things weird between us since he's my best friend after all. Now I have to ask him to fix my supplies... Just great, I walked down the hallway to his room and knocked lightly.

He yelled "yeah come in" and with that I entered, when he saw me his face was surprised.

"Edgar?! where have you been" Luca asked, I felt bad and had trouble looking him in the eyes but he can't know if he knew things would be ruined.

"I'm" I started

I couldn't say anything else before Luca just came and hugged me.

"Edgar... where have you been?!" Luca asked

His voice sounded a bit crackling and it sounded as if he almost wanted to cry.

"I was" I tried to think of an excuse but nothing came to mind.

"Edgar, it's okay.. You don't have to lie-did I do something wrong?" Luca asked

"Yeah" I replied

Luca backed out of the hug and looked at me, "I'm so sorry, can you tell me what I did so I can work and make it better"

"It's nothing you physically did Luca it's just something being around you made me do" I confessed

"Oh?" Luca stood there dumb founded

He doesn't get it...

"It's nothing I just need your help"

"Okay.." Luca said a bit curious and confused

I told him about my painting and he began to fix it, every couple of minutes he would stop to think. He can't be that oblivious can he...? Well to be fair I didn't exactly make things obvious either..Once Luca was done he smiled at me and I was relieved.

"Thank you Luca"

"Of course Edgar"

I went to get up and leave but then Luca lightly grabbed my arm, "just wait please".

I turned back to him and we looked at each other.

"Edgar, did I do something wrong?..please tell me" Luca pleaded for the truth

"No Luca I-" I stammered

"Edgar I'm sorry but I love you and you avoiding me hurts.." Luca confessed

He said it.. the word- the L word... does this mean..?

I stood there dumbfounded as Luca embraced me once again.

"I'm sorry.. I was ignoring you" I honestly told him.

"If you needed space that's fine I just got really worried" Luca told me

"No Luca that's not it" I told him

"It's not?" He questioned

"No it's not" I repeated

He looked at me very confused and began to tap his temple to try to remember if he was forgetting something, I grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes.

"Luca I'm in love with you and I know you meant earlier that you platonically love me but that's not how I feel about you and all this time I've been avoiding you because I didn't know how to-" I started to cry

Luca silenced me with a kiss, "Edgar that's not what I meant, I meant that I was also in love with you.. Edgar you didn't have to lie like that"

"well I didn't know that" I said while holding Luca

I held onto the back of his shirt and we slowly swayed for a bit, he held me close and I felt safe. Someone knocked on his door and he stared for a bit, we looked at each other and I didn't wanna let go of Luca but I knew it had to happen. I let go of his warmth as he went and opened the door. While he was talking he said it was okay if I looked around his room while he went outside to talk to Tracy about this 'Girl emergency' she was having and needed her 'big brother' to help. I looked around his room and it was quite interesting. I saw a painting and was a bit shocked that he had someone else's painting up- I then realized I painted it after and walked away embarrassingly. I looked at a trinket on his desk and it was a light-bulb connected to a battery and some switches. I think the battery powered the light bulb. there was a button that said press here on it, but I didn't think I should mess with his stuff while he wasn't here. He stepped in a couple minutes later and walked over to where I was sitting down at his desk. He leaned over me and pressed the button and a couple minutes later the bulb lit up. I didn't mean to sound so amazed but I did and gasped, I covered my mouth afterwards and he laughed at my reaction.

"It's so pretty" I exclaimed while watching the bulb close up carefully

"Not as pretty as you" Luca winked

"OH my god Luca I swear"

"JUST ONE MORE" he begged

"Fine.."

"are you a light bulb because you're the light of my life" He joked

"nope i'm done, bye" I said while heading for the door

Luca grabbed my arm lightly and said "Forgetting something?"

I raised an eyebrow to him and then he held up my now fixed paintbrush in his hand. "Give it" I huffed

"Make me" he smiled while putting it above his head and I tried to reach for it but sadly Luca was taller than me, I admitted defeat and he eventually gave in.

"Here come take it" he told me while holding it out in the palm of his hand, I huffed and grabbed his hand and the brush.

"you're coming with me" I told him

"I am?" he asked

"mhm" I said while gripping his hand tighter and dragging him back to my room, he didn't complain and I was glad to finally spend some time with him. This week has been too long without him, besides it's better to paint when I have the real thing right in front of me.He's special, I don't just paint anyone... "I love you Luca"

"I love you too" he chirped back

"I said that out loud didn't I?"

"Yup..." he laughed
