Zeal - M.G.C

"Favorite color?" They asked me.

"Hm? Probably red if I'm being honest" I told them as they yawned in response.

"And you wanted me to change it" he scoffed as I laughed lightly

"I only wanted to get close to you" I could just feel their warm smile through the phone I heard them giggle a little and I couldn't stop my lips from raising as well.

we stayed silent for a second as a moved my position onto my side and moved my phone so I don't have to hold it anymore, Drew yawned once again.

"You tired?" I asked knowing the answer was obviously yes

"A little" they whispered, god their voice was so pretty in my ears and when it got softer they were 10 times fucking cuter.

this is the 3rd night this week that me and Drew were on the phone, we called every night and fell asleep on the phone. it was nice.

I didn't know how to move on with Drew but I wanted to, goddamn it, I wanted it so bad.

"Michael?" They asked breaking my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked, they sighed before answering which scared the shit out of me, why are they sighing? Do they not like me? Am I trying too hard?

"Can I tell you something?" they asked yawning once again.

See Michael no need to freak out

"Of course"

"I mean you probably already knew this but um-" they paused for a second probably thinking about what to say. After around 30 seconds they didn't respond.

"You okay?"

"Yeah sorry this is just kind of a big deal for me," they said slowly still able to tell the tiredness that was overtaking them.

"Oh, take your time," I told them, I didn't want them to think telling me was hard that hurts me to think about I genuinely want them to trust me. I want them to be able to tell me however they feel without fear that I'll judge them.

I want them to feel comfortable around me Because I feel comfortable around them.

"I like you, Michael... Like the romantic kind of like" they let out quickly obviously struggling to let it out.

i had the biggest fucking smile on my face right now, they liked me. And I liked them.

"You have a crush on me?" I asked with an immature tone as they scoffed.

"Shut up" they laughed at me but the smile on my face just grew more.

"Want to know something?" I asked them as they hummed in response obviously still being tired. "I kinda like you too" I whispered and I could hear them smiling.

"Fuck that, Drew I really like you"

"Michael, you're driving me nuts who the fuck are you talking to?" Calum groaned as I shot my head up shutting my phone off.

I didn't want to tell the guys about Drew, they knew we fucked but that's all. I liked Drew being my little secret I didn't have to share yet. The guys are my best friends don't get me wrong but I don't want them to know yet.

Drew makes me happy and we arent even dating yet and I just don't want the guys to know yet.

"Just no one nothing is gonna happen anyway" I shrugged hoping he would let It go and I wouldn't have to explain further.
