wilbur soot x y/n

Chapter eight

Wilbur's Pov

I called Y/n down from their spot on the tree. They stumbled down and sat, leaning on me. They began to smile as their eyes closed.

"What's got you smiling like that?" I asked, a grin creeping up my face. Y/n opened their eyes and dropped into my lap. They looked at peace, like they were meant to be right here.

"My life." They grinned, sighing with a happy expression on their face.

"I don't blame you." I said, looking at the canopy. I soon felt Y/n shift in my lap to sit and grabbed my face, searching my face for something.

"Are you okay? Are you sad? Should I be scared for you?" They asked worriedly. I shook my head quickly.

"No, no, I'm fine!" I exclaimed, finally realizing that they were looking for signs of not taking care of myself.

I grabbed Y/n's arm so they would stop touching every bit of my face. Without thinking, I looked at their lips as their arm rested at their side. They looked at mine as well.

Good lord, don't do this!

I leaned closer. Our lips were nearly brushing.

Fuck, I'm gonna ruin our friendship, aren't I?

They closed the gap.
And we were kissing.

We stayed like that for a few moments before we broke apart, terror striking through our eyes.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry!" They exclaimed, covering their mouth with both their hands, eyes wide. I returned the shocked look.

We made eye contact and, for some reason, I started to laugh. They began to smile too.

"Did that really just fucking happen?" I asked, smiling widely. They nodded, leaning their head against my chest.

"Did you know that I think I like you?" Y/n asked me, bursting out with laughter. I joined in, huge smiles on both of our faces.

"Wait, now I wanna ask you something." I said, taking a deep breath. Y/n nodded and looked at me nervously. "Would you be my partner?"

They took a deep breath, eyes light with excitement. "Yeah, Wil. Of course!"
