I won't say 'I love you' ~ A Garmau FF((COMPLETE))

Not-So-Peaceful Day

3rd Person POV
Garroth and Aphmau woke to the sound of Levin crying.
"I'll get him" said Garroth kissing Aphmau's cheek and getting up then there was a ring at the door.
"I'll get that" she says rubbing her eyes and walking down the stairs, it was Chase.
"Oh hey Chase, come in Garroth is getting Levin changed take a seat I'm about to cook some breakfast." She says.
"Of course, but after this I'm going to go visit some people around the village, introduce myself." Chase says taking a seat at the oak table.
Garroth walks down the stairs cradling Levin, he smiles down at the baby and plants a kiss on its forehead.
"Look who's here!" He says holding Levin vertically so he can see Chase.
"Aww how adorable!" He says smiling at the baby.
They all sit down at the table while Aphmau finishes the last of the chocolate crepes.
They all sat down and ate them until there was another knock at the door.
"I'll get it" said Chase as Aphmau was washing the dishes and Garroth was 'feeding' Levin, I say it like that because he just kept ripping off the outside and just eating the chocolate.
It was Nicole.

Chase's POV
"W-who are you?" I stuttered.
She's so beautiful
"Oh, I'm Nicole and you?" She smiles holding out her hand.
I shake it, "I'm Chase, a very old friend of Aphmau's."
"Oh come in Nicole" shouts Aphmau from inside.
Molly comes to get Aphmau and Levin to play at the treehouse with Kyle, Alexis and Malaki.
Garroth goes out on guard duty and I go for a walk with Nicole.
"So tell me a bit about yourself" Nicole asks me.
"Well if you know Aphmau's backstory you know mine, we've be friends since we were little but her father was at war with O'Khasis and the only way the war would stop is if she'd marry the eldest son of O'Khasis, she didn't and the town went up in flames. This was about a week or so after I'd admitted to my parents I was pansexual and then hated me for it, they were big homophobes but that's why my oldest brother ran away, he didn't believe it was fair. We both ran off in opposite directions and hadn't seen each other since." I explained.

Nicole's POV
"Wow..." I said utterly gobsmacked, "well congrats for coming out of the closet!" I say.
"Thanks!" He smiles, "now you tell me a bit about yourself."
"Ok, why not," I respond, "I'm the eldest daughter of Scaleswind; since Aphmau didn't marry Garroth I had to, so I faked my death and ran away, it was a coincidence who the Lord of this village was but I didn't care. ANYWAYS I settled here and that's all there is to it! I mean Aphmau married Garroth, and I'm happy for her but I kinda want to have a relationship like hers, you know? I mean they don't care what people think and they're so made for each other..." I sigh.
"You can have any relationship you want, you just have to find the right guy" Chase says putting his hand on my shoulder, "anyways I should get going see you later!" He says heading off.
"Yeah, bye" I say walking back to my house.
The words swallowed me whole, I've never felt this way, am I ill? Am I falling? I know I'm not falling for an object but for, hi,.
