It was my first day of work. Me and the band were rehearsing an old song of theirs called 'Arriver', which is about impatience, because the month after we were going to open a concert.
They told me that I did amazing on my first day and that they look forward to working with me in the future.
Out of all of the members, Belial was the proudest. I think he was really happy to see me doing what I love most. Playing my drums beside him playing his guitar.
I took him back to my house because I needed to have a serious conversation with him. I wasn't sure if the both of us were fooling around with each other or if he really liked me. At that point I couldn't care less about how it could be awkward if he doesn't like me back. Our connection was too deep for that shit.
'Belial, I have been avoiding this question since we met, so I think it is time that I will ask you:What are we?', I said, shaking uncontrollably.
'I've literally been meaning to ask you the same question! Just so you know, I do have feelings for you and I really wish the both of us could have a future together if you would like that, as soon as possible please!', expressed Belial grabbing my hand and kissing it.
I went up to Belial's face and gave him a peck.
'That is exactly what I wanted to hear! Of course I have feelings for you and of course I want to build a future together! As fast as possible! Maybe, you could move in?', after saying that, Belial's eyes lit up and he instantly agreed to moving in with me. It was the biggest step I've accomplished in my life yet, I was so happy!
It was a really big step for Belial too, since he was still living with his mother and she didn't enjoy the fact that Belial wasn't moved out yet.
My family told me that me and Belial are moving too fast, but I didn't care about other people's opinion and neither did Belial.

Author's note:
Impatience could be caused by excitement or anger, fear or sadness. Everyone has told us that 'patience is key', but they never explained why. That's what I am here for. (I found a really cool caption under a Instagram reel and I wanted to share it with you. The reel is from @leanneansar)
'You can't skip chapters, that's not how life works. You have to read every line, meet every character. You won't enjoy it all. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don't want to read, you will have moments where you don't want the pages to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don't miss out.
