( valerie's pov )
─ ─ ─ ─ SEEING CHRIS IN person was completely different from seeing him through a screen. when valerie was within about ten feet of chris and his brothers, she stopped in her tracks, her heart hammering out of her chest. matt ─ who had been holding his vlog camera in the direction of valerie ─ quickly did a tempory outro before shutting the camera off, likely sensing the intimacy hanging thick in the air.
valerie and chris just stared at each other, before simultaneously rushing forward towards one another, meeting in the middle in a deep embrace. chris crushed valerie to his chest, lifting her feet off the ground. a lump formed in valerie's throat, and tears sprung to her eyes. she began to sob profusely, her entire body shaking.
"val," chris set her down, grabbing her face in his hands. "what's wrong?"
sobs turning to laughter, valerie sunk back into chris' arms. "i just can't believe this. i'm in the arms of chris sturniolo, and just a minute ago matt was vlogging, and i'm here. you're here."
"you're here." chris said, smiling as he wiped the tears from valerie's face. valerie looked up at him, love filling her heart, because of course she was in love with chris. and not just chris sturniolo, one-third of the famous sturniolo triplets, but also christopher owen sturniolo, the boy who made her feel like it was okay to just be, the boy who remembered her and the boy who waited for her. she loved every version of chris, and he didn't even know it.
( chris' pov )
─ ─ ─ ─ LOOKING DOWN AT valerie, chris felt a foreign feeling settle in his chest, filling every corner of his heart. he wanted more than anything to hold onto her forever, never letting go, never even loosening his grip. and that scared him; it scared him shitless. so instead of acting on his inexplicable yearning, he took a step back, motioning for his brothers to come forward.
"val!" nick exclaimed, enveloping valerie in a hug. "it's so good to see you. you look even prettier in person."
val hugged nick back, a smile on her face. butterflies filled chris' stomach as he realized that valerie was looking at him still. the two held eye contact until nick and valerie finally separated.
"it's good to see you too, nick." val replied, and chris swore he heard a slight wobble in her voice. matt came forward next, giving valerie an awkward one armed hug; matt's go-to. "hey, valerie." he said once they separated. valerie smiled, her eyes skirting to chris before moving back to matt.
"hey, matt."
"alright, we should probably get going." chris said, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck, before addressing valerie. "you've got to be exhausted."
valerie's eyes met chris', and he felt his stomach twist nervously. "yeah, i am a little tired. but what about the vlog?"
"we can introduce you later tonight. or tomorrow if you're not up to it."
"no later definitely works."
chris impulsively hugged valerie again, and after a moment of hesitation, she sunk into the hug. chris heard nick clear his throat, signaling that chris let of valerie.
"alright guys, let's get val home." nick said, and the four walked over to the car. nick went to get in the back, but chris grabbed his shoulder. nick looked at him in confusion. chris glanced pointedly at valerie, causing nick to roll his eyes. all the same, nick climbed in the front seat, allowing chris to sit in the back with valerie. once everyone was situated, matt began the journey to the triplets' house. valerie leaned her head on chris' shoulder.
"you excited?" chris asked valerie, but got no answer. he looked at her, to find her sleeping. he couldn't help but smile, as that foreign feeling filled his chest once more. if he didn't know better, chris would think that he was falling in love with valerie. falling in love with a fan.
