George.
He's great.
I wish I could tell him just how I feel, how much I love him...
But I know that this is all new to him and he probably doesn't reciprocate these feelings back.

I look at what I wrote in my diary, from back when we met, its funny, I could never imagine that we would get so far as boyfriends, God i love that so much.
I've decided to do it.
What I wrote in the diary all those years ago, we were both so young back then but my feelings for him have never wavered. Even during those rough patches, when we would argue, there was still a huge part of me that loved him.
I'm going to tell him the truth.
I dont mind if he says it back.
I would be nice but...
I love George.

We were talking, while cuddling on the sofa, I wanted to make it special.
'Hey, why don't we go on a date tonight?' I asked him.
'Sure Al, where?' I love it when he calls me that.
'I was thinking a picnic somewhere, maybe Hyde Park?' Idk anything about London, I literally used to live there 
He nodded enthusiastically and kissed me.

A while later, I had gathered all the food and things for the picnic, we were going to go in the evening to make it extra romantic. I peeked in at George in his room, recording a video. I wish I could go and tell his audience about how much I love him and how he makes me a better person.
I won't.
I want it to be special.
Just us two.
Also maybe some random onlookers who are also in Hyde at night.

I went back into my room and started to think about what I wanted to say. It should be obvious right? Three words. But I keep overthinking all of it, What if he doesn't feel the same way?

I decide to call Will for moral support.
Me: Hey mate
Will: whats up?
Me: I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I'm ready to tell George I love him
Will: wait... you guys haven't told each other yet
Me: No?
Will: oh
Me: Wait why??
Will: You guys obviously love each other so much I thought you already knew.
Me:YOU THINK HE LOVES ME BACK?!!?
Will: Of course!
Me: You're quite observant mate
Will: I know. I also figured out yous were dating but it didn't take sherlock for that, considering yous kissed right in front of me.
Me: We weren't great at hiding it then...
Will: Also I've been a Memeulex shipper,since...well. you're perfect for each other, Alex... but I feel like theres something you should know.
Me: WHAT!? He doesn't fucking love me does he! He's probably been straight this whole time and was just having a laugh, I'm such an idiot...
Will:No! He 100% loves you but I
Me: Yes?
Will: ...Used to like Memeulous too.
Me: What?! When? Still? You like men?!?
Will: Yeah... back in school. Not anymore, I'm happy with Mia now.
Me: Wow... Cool.
Will: You alright?
Me: Yeah its just a lot to take in
Will: Alex, George loves you, I've seen the way he looks at you, you'll be fine
Me: Thanks, I should get going now, bye
Will: BYE!!!-

That was a lot.
I heard Georges outro, its go time.

We arrive at Hyde, the sky is a pretty dark blue colour and it makes the grass look purple.
We walk around, the sainsbury's bag for life carrying our picnic hits my leg as we walk.
'This is nice' George says quietly.
The atmosphere is so quiet, for London at least, its nice, peaceful even.
'Yeah' I say smirking at him.
We find a nice spot under a tree. The grass is slightly damp so I lay down a beach towel. He raises an eyebrow at me.
'What?!' I laugh, 'We don't have a picnic blanket and this does the job!'
'Its not that.'
'Then what?'
'The sky has turned you purple, like one of those evil minions.' He said,deadpan.
I burst out laughing, doubling over. I lay my head on his lap.
I scrap the script.
'You're so funny', I'm about to say it, I really am, but then...
'I love you' It wasn't me. I look up and see George smiling at me.
'I love you too'
George shifts to lie next to me, so that we are both cuddling, lying facing the stars.
I saw an arrangement of stars in the shape of a heart, how fitting.
We just lie there, stargazing, and nibbling scotch eggs, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
