🎶 3ʀᴅ ᴘᴏᴠ 🎶

Their eyes locked, but they eventually had to close their eyes as rain began to pour into them.

The two boys look up to see grey clouds and streaks of water gushing out of them.

Ralph takes his red hoodie off and places it on his head, the hoodie acts as a shield to stop his hair getting wet.

Henry takes off the waterproof coat he had on and does the same.

They didn't want to leave the park yet, so this would have to do. The rain was only light after all.

Until five hours of talking later.

The rain got very heavy.

Storm heavy.

Almost hurricane heavy.

The two look at each other, then up at the sky. This was definitely their sign to leave.

They should be getting home for tea now anyway, they had a party to attend to soon.

They run to Ralph's house first, when the brunette boy is through the door, he pulls the ginger one in behind him.

"Wha- Ralph! I'm meant to be going back to my own house-" Henry began, but he was cut off.

"You really want to get wet any longer? You're soaked already. That waterproof coat doesn't seem very waterproof." Ralph states, looking at the soaked ginger boy in front of him from head to toe.

Henry blushed a bit, he didn't like getting analyzed so precisely by someone. He takes off the coat and hangs it up.

"Well, now what? You brought me into the house without any plans." He says, looking at Ralph.

"Whatever you want to do. Play some Fortnite or whatever."

"Fortnite? Oh, you're on."

With that, the two boys clamber and fight up the stairs into Ralph's room.

When Henry wins the little race they put on, Ralph playfully shoves him.

Ralph goes to turn on the Xbox, Henry grabs the controllers and sits down.

When they start playing, a lot of shouting could be heard.

"Ha! Boxed!" Ralph snickers.

"It's fine.." Henry says, he clearly had a backup plan.

The walls and floor that had been built were Ralph's, but Henry had built the roof.

Henry edits a hole in the roof so Ralph falls through.

Then Ralph gets shotgunned to the head and dies.

"Well, that backfired, didn't it?" Henry asks, getting cocky.

Ralph grimaced at him.

They continue playing, and fighting, and shouting.

Until Henry looks out of the window.

The rain had now stopped.

Henry could go home. He seemed sad about it, but then he noticed Ralph writing letters to different people. He looked over his shoulder to see what he had been writing down.

Ralph wrote the same thing but to all of the people who had been invited.

"You wanted to spend time with someone?" Henry asks, curious. He
really wanted to know who that person was.

"Oh.. Uh.. Yeah." Ralph says, a bit awkwardly.

"Who?" Henry asks again.

"Uh.." Ralph clearly wanted to say, but seemed nervous.

"You.." He finishes his sentence, heat radiating off his face.

🎶 ʜᴇɴʀʏ's ᴘᴏᴠ 🎶

I was really surprised when Ralph said that.

I felt heat radiating off his face, yet that might have just been my own.
I tried my best not to look in Ralph's table mirror, because everytime I did I just saw how red mine and his faces were.

"You-" I didn't really know what to say, I was flattered, to say the least, but shocked. "But why?" I had no idea why out all of the people, Ralph wanted to spend time with me.

"You know what, nevermind." I quickly decided it was probably best I didn't know, but from saying that things just got even more awkward between us. We tried to keep it normal, but we just kept staring at each other.

🎶 ʀᴀʟᴘʜ's ᴘᴏᴠ 🎶

I knew I shouldn't have said that.
It's probably time I admitted it though.
It's probably time I also admit something else,
Let's face the facts, I've got a crush on Henry.
It's a bit obvious. I'm terrible at bluffing or hiding things. Everyone apart from Henry knows. It runs in my family, for sure.

I've always been terrified of saying anything to do with crushes near Henry, in case I let something that shouldn't slip out my mouth slip out my mouth.

That's what just happened.

I wasn't meant to say what I said. My brain was urging me not to, but I never listen to my brain. Clearly..
I'm terrible at listening, even to my own self.

It's a pretty serious crush, if I do say so myself.

You've got no idea what's running through my head and the things I want to do to him when me and him are having a normal conversation.

It's a bit diabolical.

Scary, actually.

Everytime he is actually talking to me, I'm not even listening, I'm just staring at him. (Yes, yes fine. I'm admitting it. I'm admitting everything. If it gets cheesy, deal with it.)

Okay, this is the very last thing I'm admitting. Everytime he puts a flavoured lip balm on, it makes me want to kiss him more than I already do. (Look, you may think it's weird, but you're reading this, you got yourself in this mess.)

But oh, look, Henry's talking to me again. I'll take you back to his side of he story. If he says anything about him having a crush on me, do tell. I need to know.

🎶 ʜᴇɴʀʏ's ᴘᴏᴠ 🎶

I'm, once again, trying to get Ralph's attention. He looks like a zombie when he zones out. It's a bit adorable. The fact that he zones out a lot, not the zombie bit-

I've got something to admit. I've got a bit of a crush on Ralph. It's not serious yet, don't jump for joy.

Okay fine. It's quite serious.

Just don't tell anyone.

(I ran out of ideas for the chapter help.)
