A couple days after
Aaron POV
It's a pretty boring Saturday afternoon, me and Gary are just sitting around at the orphanage. Him on his phone and me laying down on my bed. Man I'm thirsty, I thought as I began drinking some water.
"Hey so when are you gonna ask Autumn out?"; Gary blurted out, causing me to choke on my water.
"What? Why would I ask her out?!", I asked while failing to not blush out of embarrassment.
"Oh please, literally ever since I've introduced you to the group you two can't stop staring at each other. Along with that, anytime either of you give each other the smallest of compliments or make the smallest amount of physical contact, you guys turn into absolute tomatoes," he said, not giving me a chance to try to deny.
"Why don't you just ask her out, it's clear she likes you and I know for a fact you like her, '' said Gary in a tired manner.
"You really think so?", I said in an unsure manner.
"YES!!!you guys would be perfect together, you're goofy, really energetic and mischievous and a tad bit stupid sometimes, while she's a bit more calm and responsible,"
I thought about it for a little but the thought of her not actually feeling the same, had overpowered what Gary said.
"No," I said.
"No?" Gary said very confused.
"Yes no, Me and autumn are just good friends and I'm not gonna ruin a friendship because your idiotic analysis. Ok so drop it," I sternly said I thought I had got him to listen.
"Fiiiiiineeeee," he said looking back at his phone with a smirk growing on his face, which did not make me feel good.
A few days Later
Gary had planned for the group to hangout at an arcade, which we all agreed to and he even offered to pay for it all. This made me really concerned as Gary is the cheapest person I know, but I pushed it aside.
As I enter the local arcade, at what I think is right on time I only see Autumn who I assume came early to be the responsible person she is.
She spots me and smiles, which fills my stomach butterflies. I join her on a bench, "Hey Autumn, where's everyone else" I ask.
"I don't know, I keep texting them but they haven't responded yet," she said in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, they should be here any minute now, " I said, reassuring her.
Then a worker came up to us, " You guys are Aaron and Autumn right?" To which we both nodded.
"Great we were told to give you the couples access pass, have fun!". As the worker said that I immediately froze and started blushing like crazy and I finally understood what Gary's plan was all along.
Somewhere away from the arcade.
"Good, now they can finally confess to each other," said Gary with a wicked grin. Everyone else laughed.
"And also I need to talk to you guys about something," said Gary in an oddly serious manner.
"Seems serious. Shouldn't we wait for Aaron and Autumn?" said Dom to which the others agreed.
"No!" Gary shouted out
"It's nothing serious, just come on," said Gary as they all started to follow him away.
Back to the Arcade
30 minutes later
God, this is awkward, I thought as we sat at a random bench not even glancing at each other.
