"Love is so embarrassing."

Chapter 8: Bleighten and Chris

note: this chapter is totally skippable, i just wanted to include one more chapter about bleighten and chris since jayda, alana, savannah, and scott are going to be the main focus of the story from now on! :)

Bleighten's POV:

I was laying in bed when I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly got up to get it, and when I opened the door, it was Chris! "Hey!" He said. "Hi," I said back. "So, I was wondering if I could hang out for a bit?" "Of course!" I said, "Come on in!" I led him upstairs to my room when he noticed my switch. "What games do you have on it?" He asked. "Oh, mostly just animal crossing," I said quickly. "Oh my god!" He said, "I love Animal Crossing! Can we play together?" I blushed. I turned it on, and we just talked while we waited for it to turn on.

Chris' POV:

Then, the switch finally turned on. While he was setting it up, I just stared. I'm so lucky to have ended up with someone like him. The love of my life. Even just looking at him, I could see my future with him. "Chris? What do you want your character to look like?" He asked. "Oh, I'll come up and design it!" I quickly went up to the controller. "How do you work it?" I asked, expecting him just to show me how. But, he came up behind me and put his hands on top of mine on the controller, moving it around as I told him where to click. I blushed. How could he even be so amazing, caring, and just overall sweet?

Bleighten's POV:

After I helped Chris design his character, I noticed he was blushing, but I just sat down and started playing. We got a lot done! We started a new game since I had never played it, but Chris showed me how to play it. He's so sweet! We mostly just caught a lot of bugs and fish to sell, and we even got started on our house! I'll make sure to play more often, so Chris has a nice house to come back to. I hope he'll like it. After, we just lay in my bed and talked about our plans for the future.

Chris' POV:

We were talking about our futures, but there was one problem. I didn't know how to say this to him, but I wanted my future to be with him. Just us together. I didn't know what else I wanted in my life, but him. The conversation drifted away from our futures, and soon just to small talk. Then, I heard Bleighten say something.

Bleighten's POV:

"Look! It's raining!" I said when I looked out the window and saw the droplets. I quickly grabbed Chris' hand and pulled him outside. "Hey!" He laughed, "What are you doing?" "We're going outside!" I said. I took him out the door and pulled the door shut behind me. I grabbed my phone and put on a song from our playlist, and threw it on the wet grass. "I'll Never Smile Again" started playing, and Chris pulled me in to dance.

Chris' POV:

Me and Bleighten were dancing in the pouring rain. I decided now was the time. "Hey." I said, "I didn't know how to tell you before, but I want my future to be with you. I don't know what I want my life to be, but I do know I want it to be with you." I said. I exhaled quickly. What if he didn't feel the same way? He looked at me for a second before saying, "I want my future to be with you too." He didn't need any more explanation than that. It was so simple.

Bleighten's POV:

We danced for a little while longer before heading inside and drying off. "I should go, my mom is probably wondering where I am," Chris said before starting to pack his stuff. "Also," He said, "I love you. And I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way, but I needed to tell you." And then he just walked out of the door. I was a bit shocked. After I took a quick second to think, I started running off after him. He was walking pretty fast though so I ran after him. I saw him on the sidewalk and I walked up to him.

Chris' POV:

Bleighten caught up to me on the sidewalk quickly. I blushed a bit as I turned back at him. He was still trying to catch his breath from running after me, but I could still make out what he was saying. "I love you." He said to me. It was so simple, just 3 words, 8 letters, yet it meant the world. My boyfriend, the love of my life, loves me! I felt myself blush even more than before, I didn't even know that was possible. "W-Well i should probably get going, I love you." I said before walking home. When I got there, I collapsed onto my bed. I'm so lucky to have him.
