"You're really not planning to get married..?", Sasuke asked worriedly.
"I'm just not interested in making a family and such stuff", I said with a smile.
"Is this because of me..? Because I decided to give up on getting married ever since realizing that I'm asexual...", He looked terribly guilty.
"Yes, but No... Yes, It's because of you, cause you're still the only one who I love the most, and no, because it's got nothing to do with your sexuality, even if you'd decided to marry someone else I'd still only love you so I still would've decided stay single", I explained clamly with a satisfied smile, I was truly happy just being allowed to stay beside him like this.
"..Why do you still love me even after knowing I'll never be able to return it?", he looked hurt. It pained me to see him make that face.
"I already feel happier than ever being with you like this, it's because I feel very loved when I'm with you, Sasuke, cause you love me too, don't you?", I asked with a smile that probably looked sad.
"It's not the same though.. I can't feel attracted to you.. It's even repulsive to think about..", he looked so pained. I hate that I'm the one making him feel like this.
"It's not like I feel attracted to you 24/7 either, and that's not all there is to what I feel for you, I love you as you are, everything about you, including the side of you that can't ever be attracted to me... Knowing that you still care and love me so much with not an ounce of attraction involved makes me feel unbelievably happy and loved. It's way more unconditional than what I feel for you after all, that's why, I want to love you even more, so that I can make you feel just as loved and happy as you make me feel, I'll do my best so let's stay single together..?", I asked in a voice that was softer than usual, slightly nervous and hesitantly reaching for his hand.
He met my hand half way and held it tight. Tears flowing down his rosy pale cheeks, his light pink lips curving up into a beautiful smile. He nodded lightly, almost thankfully, "...Thank you for always loving me so much and always being there for me", he said it in a voice softer than mine.
"Those are my lines, Idiot", I seem to have started crying too without noticing.
"Oh please, they're definitely mine, and you're the only idiot here, cause you're idiotically in love with me", he chuckled still teary eyed. So very beautiful, even though it pains me to look at him cry, happy tears are not so bad.
"Touché.. I just love you a lot, Sasuke. I love so much, the most in this entire universe", I smiled happily.
"Idiot", he smiled as beautifully as always.
I'm really so happy and blessed to him as my best friend.
I wish it'll be like this for as long as we live.
I wonder if it's okay to hope for a happily ever after..? Since I'll always have him by my side, just like this, holding my hand, while making me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I wonder if it's okay to wish for this happiness to last forever..?
"You said that you wanted to make me feel loved and happy, right? Just so you know, you already are giving me way more than I deserve", he smiled brightly. I feel kinda blinded, he's too dazzling.
"In my eyes it'll never be enough, you deserve much more and the best ever", I grinned confidently.
"And you want to be that best for me..?", he asked still smiling sweetly.
"I do, I'll do my best for that", I intertwined my fingers with his, smiling happily.
"I'll do my best too then, so that I don't lose out to you", he tightened his grip on my hand, closing his eyes with a satisfied smile.
"Even though you're already the best there could ever be..?", I grinned playfully, but seriously meant every word I uttered.
"Yeah, cause in my eyes, you deserve better than the best there is, so I'll do my best too, to always be happy with you", he smiled, his eyes still stayed closed.
"Sasake... You really were my happily ever after", I grinned and chuckled, I truly do believe that it's okay to hope for a happily ever after now, because it's with Sasuke, we'll definitely reach it as long as we're together.
"happily ever after..? You're as childishly cheesy as ever", he laughed beautifully, ah, I love him.
"I love you too, Sasuke", I grinned happily.
"Idiot", he laughed more. I really do love you a lot, Sasuke. My one and only best friend.
