Justin's P.O.V.

Having a crush on someone is one of the best and worst things possible. Especially when you're best friends who live in the same house and are also, co-workers who sometimes hook up.

Yeah, not an ideal situation. 

I need someone to talk to and my best bet is Ryan. I trust him the most and he will be honest. So, I go knock on his door.

"Come in." I hear from the other side.

I open the door to find Ryan and Kane sitting on his bed playing Uno. 

"Umm, Ryan? Can I talk to you?..... Alone?" I ask.

He glances at Kane and tilts his head, gesturing for Kane to go. Kane gives a little pout before standing up and heading out the door. I shut it behind him and then take his seat on Ryan's bed.

"What's up?" 

"He's better off without me. I know he is."

"What?"

"You know how I have a crush on Oli?"

"Of course."

"Well... I think he's better without me. He could have so many other people but he's stuck with me. You know what I mean? I feel like I'm holding him back. At the same, I feel like he doesn't like me back and it's all just fun & games. Even if it was I still love him. I love him and I can't bring myself to tell him because I'm not sure he feels the same way. I can't tell where I stand with him. Sometimes he acts like he want's me and other times he doesn't. He talks to girls but never dates them and that's where I feel like I'm holding him back. This just brings my thoughts full circle even though they're all over the place."

"Well first of all, breathe."

"Don't you see that I'm trying?"

"I hate giving relationship advice. You know this. All I can say is that you need to tell him everything you just told me. Be completely honest and transparent. It will help you see where he stands regardless if he gives you a clear answer or not."

"Ok," I take a deep breath in and out, "You're Right. Thanks, Ry."

"No problem."

Oliver's P.O.V.

This girl me and Regie met at a grocery store the other day, will not stop DMing me. It's getting on my nerves. Just as I was about to tell her off, Justin comes down the stairs. He doesn't notice me and sits down on the couch across from me. I sit there, with my arms crossed, seeing how long it will take him to notice. I watch him and the way he smiles at his phone. Looking at the feature of his face was calming in a way.

A ding from my phone startled both of us. Justin flinched and glanced up at me when I was already looking at him. His eyes shifted to my phone before he said anything.

"How long have you been there?" 

"I was here before you."

"Really?"

"Mhmm."

My phone dinged again. 

"Are you going to get that."

"No. It's not important. Just some girl." I told him.

I saw his face drop for a second before he pulled a smile back on. It looked forced and his eyes showed everything he wouldn't.

"It's nothing." I start, "She found my insta and won't stop messaging me."

"Lucky you." Justin

"No. Not really. I would never date her."

Justin was quiet for a second before whispering something I could barely catch.

"Is it because of me?"

"Because of you? No. Why would you think that?"

"It's hard to go through everything but, I feel like I'm holding you back because of whatever this weird-ass relationship is. You could be dating someone by now but you won't. Are you pitying me or something? Is this fake and all for fun? " 

"Ummm.."

"Ummm what?" He asks.

"It's just..... why do you care so much?"

Justin's P.O.V.

Is this boy for real? Like honestly.

"Why do I care so much?" My voice raises a bit.

"Yes." His does too.

"Because you make me feel like I am worthy of everything and nothing at all. I'd let you get away with murder even if it was my own." I tell him. "I should leave. It would make you happier. You can date someone who isn't scared. You won't have this train wreck of a half relationship."

"You cant just leave. Why do you think all of this?" He grabs my wrists which have been frantically moving as I spoke.

"No reason." I say. 

I move my hands and drop them to my side. Oliver watches me carefully. I can't do this. Not right now. I turn and leave as quickly as possible. I get to my room, lock the door and cry. I drop to the floor trying to wipe the tears frantically.

He doesn't care. I thought. It doesn't matter. I don't care. I shouldn't have to explain myself. God. Why does hurt so bad if nothing even happened?

There was a knock at my door. 

"Give me a second!" I yelled.

I wiped my face and went to open the door. I was pushed back and not to my surprise, it was Oli he locks the door behind himself. 

"Why do you think that? Tell me."

"Because I love you!" I whisper, and he caught the full force of my words. I couldn't hide anything anymore. "I have loved you ever since the day I met you, and my feelings haven't changed at all! My attention is constantly drawn back to you; It can't even fucking move without coming back to you. You make me overthink every little thing just so I can think about the best for you and me. Which is why if leaving is better for you, that's what I'll do."

"Don't leave me. Don't you fucking dare leave me. Look, I may not be good at saying things outright but you can't leave. You think that you thoughts only come back to me. My thoughts never move. You are always in my mind. I love you too. "

"Really?"

"Do you think I'd drop my walls for just anyone?"

"No."

"Then stay. Please." There were tears in my eyes and his as well.

"Ok."

I stepped closer to him and he pulled me in closer. My arms were wrapped around his shoulders while his were around my waist. He put his face in my neck, my head resting on his. I started playing with his hair. He swayed us back and forth slightly. We stood there quietly enjoying each other's presence.
