I only have eyes for him. ❤️

(This is in Highschool btw)

I sit on the couch in a basement after school with my best friend since childhood, I've liked him for 2 years now! I wanna tell him soon but if that ruins our friendship.. I'll have nobody else. Lately I've beeb trying to get the "He doesn't like you" thoughts out of my head, and just be brave to ask him out. It doesn't even have to be me asking him straight up to date me! Just ask him out on a date, it's different. We're just talking and I notice myself to be a bit hungry. "Hey Streb, I'm a bit hungry I'm gonna get a snack." "Okay!" I walk upstairs to the kitchen and see his mom washing dishes. "Hey sweetheart!" I hear his mom greet me in a comforting southern accent. "Hi Katherine!" I waved, I know his mom pretty well, and she loves me enough that she treats me like a second son. It's kinda weird to me how most of Streber's family has southern accents but he doesn't. I find myself getting distracted and start to have a conversation with her.

I look at Kevin walk up the stairs and close the door, I've been admiring him a lot lately. I always admire him, I think he's awesome! But it seems different this time, it's like a crush or something.. He knows I'm gay, I'm pretty open about it. I'm not entirely sure about him, I had heard him call guys hot but I don't know if he just thinks they're good looking. Something is different about me admiring him.. I have had crushes before, but they never felt serious like this.
I felt myself get a sudden urge to draw, Kevin always has pencils so I reach in his bag to get one. I pull the bag on my lap to search for a pencil case when a book with a couple stickers that has 'diary' carved in it catches my eye. I shouldn't look through his personal stuff but... I pull out the book and quickly look at some pages with writing, I flip through then stop at a bookmarked page with hearts all over it with my name at the top. My eyes widen, could it be? I look at the date it was written, about 3 days ago. I read the page.

"My best friend Streber since childhood is always someone you can tell anything, he knows all of my secrets.. except for one. I like him.. No I love him! I've had a crush on him for more than a year, I'm 99% positive he doesn't like me though. The other 1% I'm being delusional. I'm thinking of asking him out but that seems silly, I think to myself it's just a crush.. But it's been almost 3 years and I only have eyes for him. If I confess to him and he doesn't like me I could loose my best friend."

I started to feel my face get warm and butterflies swarm in my stomach. I tried to see if he wrote anything else about me, but before I could I heard a door open. I hide the book behind a pillow and throw his bag on the floor where it was.

🍬POV :
I'm talking with Katherine when she then mentions Streber. "Oh crap! I forgot all about him!" "Oh dear-" She says. "Sorry!" I run back towards the basement and open the door to try and rush down the stairs. "Sorry Streber!" I pant and hop back onto the couch. "I got caught into a conversation with your mom." "Mhm." He seemed oddly quiet, but smiling..

I was suspicious of what happened. "What happened?" I asked. "You really wanna know?" I looked at him like he was an idiotic bastard. He sighed. "Kevin, what's this?" He pulled out a book from behind a pillow and flipped to a page. My heart dropped. Fuck, fuck, fuck. He's definitely gonna make a fool out of me for this! I snatch the book from him and grab my bag. "Kev?" He frowns, I tear up. "I should go.." I croak. The back of my throat hurts from holding my tears, I run up the stairs and storm out of the house. I start to walk off the front porch, I stare at the dusk sky filled with stars and a glowing crescent.

Tears finally fall from my eyes, I hear a door open. "Kevin!" Streber gasps for air. "I know what you're gonna say! Just go back inside, there's no need to poke fun at me!" "Kevin wait..! You didn't let me finish." He stops me from walking away when he runs and grabs my wrist. I turn to him with a face full of water, his eyes are glossy, he places his hand on my neck and I blush. "I love you Kevin." He kisses me, I was shocked at first.. But then I close my eyes, I drop my book and cup his face with my hands. We stop kissing to look at each other, I then speak. "I love you too Streber."
