//Connor's POV//

"I don't blame them, I mean, we would look like such a cute couple." After I had muttered those words into his ear, I would've sworn my heart was going to burst out of my chest, it continued to beat at a highly irregular rate, my breathing not being any better.

If Tyler hadn't given me a wave and a thumbs up earlier I wouldn't be flirting and cuddling so much. I probably wouldn't have asked him to sit on the same couch as me. I would still be the timid and scared boy, never wanting to admit his feeling to his crush.

"Uh... you think so?" He turns his head slightly, that way I can see how red his cheeks had grown.

"Of course, I mean look at you, you're very hot." I continued, not daring to give up now. If I ever wanted to have Troye as something more then friends, I need to make a move. "What do you think?"

And suddenly I saw how much that had boosted his confidence, and I was over the moon excited for him. I adored how shy Troye would become in situations because that was just his personality. But when he had those moments when he was comfortable in his body, comfortable with his beautiful voice, and even through all that Kayla and Jacob had put us through, he knew he was still worth something special. Not only something special to me, but he was special to the world.

"I agree, we would look like a good couple." He whispered, not wanting to interrupt the movie. "But-" Oh no, not a but. My mind speaks cruelly. "You are definitely the hot one."

"Oh please, I bet everyone in this room will say you are the hot one." Troye continued to shake his head, disagreeing with me.

So to prove him wrong, I slightly nudge Joey with my foot, trying to get his attention. When he turns around looking at us confused, his face instantly turns into a smirk when he sees my arms wrapped tightly around Troye. "Yes?" he slightly chuckles.

"Who is the hot one in the relationship, Troye or me?" Then I give him the death stare moving my eyes in Troyes direction, hoping he'll get the hint.

"Its Troye." He states then turns his attention back to the movie.

"Ha! I win!" I grin happily at my achievement. Sticking my tongue out to mock him.

"That was not a impartial vote." Troye comes back. Looking straight at me, if I moved just a few centimeters closer, our lips would be touching.

"There's only one way to settle this then." He waits for me to continue, giving me all his attention. "Coin toss." I grab a quarter out of my pocket, displaing it in the palm of my hand.

He agrees with a shrug and I begin to place the coin on my thumb carefully prepairing to flip it. "Okay so if it lands on heads; I win, if it lands on tails; you loose." I say quickly so he doesn't realize I'm tricking him. A laugh daring to burst out of me at how oblivious Troye could be.

With a flick of me thumb, I send it flighing into the air, two feet above me hand. We watch as the quarter reaches its highest point, then gravity pulling back down. When it lands I place its onto the back of my hand, slowly revealing that it in fact landed on heads.

"Yay! I win!" I chuckle, watching as his face turns into a pout. "Aw babe, turn that frown upside down." I kiss his cheek, his pout instantly turning into a embarrassed smile.

Then I realize that the whole room had become silent. Not even the movie playing. I look over and 50 First Dates is paused and all our friends have been watching our little flirting fest. "Have you two admitted your feelings for each other yet?" Tyler asks again with a smirk. He has probably asked us the same question twenty times today.

"Not yet." I whisper in Troye's ear. He looks toward me again and I wink.

"Just kiss already!" Zoe shouts aloud, everyone laughing except Troye who was still a bright colored pink.

"Okay." I reply, giving him a big smooch on his cheek. Making an over exaggerated 'muah' sound at the end.

Even through all the confident flirting, my heart was still beating as heavy as before.

Two hours later, Tyler and Joey had left and I was laying in bed alone thinking about how much occurred in the day. I make a list in my mind, laughing to myself about how each decision I make each and everyday can change my life forever.

• Troye came out to me as gay.
• Applied for a job at the coffee shop.
• Slowly on my way to becoming friends with Tyler again.
• Found out that in a few short weeks, Troye will be safe from Kayla and Jacob.
• Major flirting with Troye.

I would say this was a very successful day.

"Knock Knock" Troye's voice knocks me out of my thoughts.

"Who's there?" A giggle arupts from his body, bringing a smile to my face.

"You're such a dork." He sits down next to me in bed, it not being awkward in the slightest.

"You wouldn't have it in any other way." I smile at our little banter. He nods in agreement.

"Connor, can we talk about what happened today?" Troye ask after a few silent moments. I knew this would happen sometime so I sit up, back against the head board and wait for him to continue. "Wh- was- What was all that flirting today?"

"Troye, you know I'm not a person to carelessly flirt." I whisper, hoping he gets the hint.

"I know, does that mean all of that flirting was... real?" He timidly asks, scratching the back of his neck.

I took this as good as a moment as ever, "Troye, I like you. I mean I really like you. I have been so scared to tell you because I adore our friendship so much. I cherish you more then anything in this world. And I know there is a huge possibility that you don't feel the same and I don't want it to be awkward between us so I'm just going to stop talking now."

God -I think- I'm pathetic. My mind finding the twiddling of my fingers the most interesting thing at the moment.

After my mindless rambling, waiting for his response felt like hours. When I hear him burst with laughter, my head shoots up. "Again, you're such a dork."

"I knew that you didn't like me-" I am cut short when he continues to speak.

"I can't believe you never noticed." When he sees the confusion in my face he laughs more. "I like you too Connie. A lot."
