"What are we?" I asks him embarrassed that I even asked the dumb question. He was obviously going to say friends.
"Well what do you wanna be?" He questions looking at me with his bright hazel eyes. This reply shocks me and I think for a minute unsure. I liked being friends with him but I wouldn't mind exploring a more than friends relationship.
"I'm not sure" I reply looking down at my feet. He grabs my hand and gives me a smile.
"That's okay I just want to make sure we were both on the same page" he says. I nod but tell him what had gone through my mind.
"I love being friends with you don't get me wrong, it's just I feel as if we could explore a relationship that's more than that"
" I feel the same, but we could take it super slow and we don't have to label what we are if you don't want to" he suggests.
"Can I think about it?" I ask looking down towards the ground.
"Of course I don't need an answer right now but when you have one let me know" he assures. I give him a thankful look and slake my head. I was getting tired but sleep wasn't really something I was going to do. I had someone over and plus if I tried I think I would just lay awake staring at the ceiling.
"So What now?" The blonde boy asks. "I don't know with that broken foot of yours it's going to be hard to do anything" I say shrugging. "Yeah that's true" however we could play a video game or something" he suggests eyeing my wii. "Yeah okay" I laugh going over to turn it on. Mario karts already in it so I don't bother to switch out the disc. I hand us each a controller and take a seat on my couch.
"I'm so going to beat you" he says confidence radiating. "Sure you will" I tease picking my player. I choose Toad and he chooses Mario. "Basic Bitch" I joke nudging his arm. "Whatever" he mumbles trying not to smile as we start the game.
We end up playing 3 rounds and I win 2 out of the 3. "Ha! I kicked you ass" I announce laughing. He just rolls his eyes and fake pouts. "Oh no are you going to cry" I tease smiling at him. "No" he says affirmably. I then poke his side which make him smile a little. "Well since I beat you I think I should get a winning hug from the big loser" I say getting up off the couch. He gives me a confused look for a moment.
"Okay fine" he says doing what I had just done. He then wraps his arms around me and lifts me onto my tippy toes. We hug for a minute before letting go and sitting back down.
"Uh can I ask you a question?" He queries looking at me.
"Yeah of course, shoot" I answer
"Okay well, do you maybe wanna go-" he cuts himself off and shakes him head.
"Are you trying to ask me on a date? Because if so my answer is yes" I say giving him a look. His face turns red and he gives me a small smile. "So you wanna go on a date with me?" he asks looking for reassurance. "Mmh I do" I reply my face heating up a little.
I hadn't gone out with someone in a really long time. I know it's not going to be super fancy or anything but still.
"Alright cool does next Friday night work for you" He questions standing up.
"I think so but let me check" I say going to the kitchen to look at the calendar. I had nothing written for that date. "It will work for me" I smile. "Okay its a plan then" he says happily. "It's a plan" I repeat yawning.
"You sound tired I better get going so you can get some rest for work tomorrow" he says heading towards the door. "I am sleepy but if you don't wanna leave you don't have to" I tell him as I go over to where he is standing. "It's Okay I think I'm going to head to bed too" he assures opening the door. I watch him walk out and over 15 steps to his place right across from mine.
"Goodnight Sunshine" he says gently.
"Goodnight"...
