"Matt! For fuck's sake!" I screamed trying to catch my breath. Currently, I was lying on my best friend's sofa while he was tickling me. He knew that it was my weak point and he takes advantage of it.

"Say that I am the best friend in the world!"

"Okay, okay, you're the best friend that's ever existed, now stop!"

Laughing, Matt sat properly, pulling me up with him; I quickly fixed my messy hair, trying to catch my breath once more. I've been friends with him since, well, forever, and he knew exactly how to make me do whatever he wanted, even if it was a stupid thing like that. He pecked my cheek with a soft kiss, making me blush like crazy.

We weren't together and we have never been together, even though I wish we were. Yes, I may have a huge crush on my best friend, as cliché as it sounds, but I couldn't help it. He's just so perfect that I fell in love with him, but I know that he doesn't have feelings for me. Through all the years of our friendship he dated several girls, always breaking up with them for some dumb reason.

"You're cute when you blush." He said out of the blue, smiling widely at me and getting up. "I'm going to prepare some beers. The guys will be here any time soon."

 He left me without saying anything else, leaving me confused about what he had previously said. Did he mean it? Was he kidding or being serious? I didn't have much time to think about it though. I was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. When I opened it, I found four men smiling widely at me.

"Y/N!" They screamed in unison, capturing me in a big group hug.

"Where's the prick?" Lee asked, sitting on the sofa.

"He's in the kitchen getting us something to drink."

As soon as those words left my lips, Matt came into the room bringing the beers with him. He was about to sit next to Lee and Jordan on the sofa when Oli stole the seat from him and, since Matt K was sitting on the only armchair, he had to sit next to me on the soft carpet that covered the floor.

The guys started to talk about everything at the same time, discussing the upcoming tour and the success that they were having. Hearing that they would leave in a month made me incredibly upset; I knew that they had to leave soon, but I never really thought about being without the guys for several months on end....without Matt.

"Hey, Y/N, is everything okay? You're weirdly quiet tonight." Oli asked, snapping his fingers in front of me.

I shook my head, coming back from my thoughts. A small smile appeared on my lips while I tried not to blush; I really need not to think about it right now.

"Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking."

Nobody asked me anything else about it which made me comfortable. I wasn't ready to talk about it, not yet. Matt looked at me with concern in his eyes, mouth "Are you okay?" I shrugged, sending him a shy smile.

"I'm going to the bathroom, don't be too crazy while I'm away." Matt said after nearly an hour of random jokes and stuff.

As soon as he exited the room, the four of them came to sit in front of me, all with the same stupid grin plastered on their faces. We all stared at each other for a couple of seconds, completely in silence, then Lee spoke.

"So, when are you going to tell him?"

"Tell who what?" His question completely took me off guard, what was he talking about?

"Don't be stupid, you know what we're talking about. When are you going to tell Matt you like him?"

I blushed like crazy at Oli's words, making them all laugh. Lee hugged me, messing with my hair, which he knew I hated.

"I'm not....I don't like Matt..."

"C'mon, don't fucking try to deny it. You like him and he likes you, it's so obvious!"

Matt returned before I could say anything else to them, looking at us with a confused look on his face. Suddenly, the four of them stood up, saying that they all had something very important to do. Without another word, they all waved at you and basically ran out of the door.

Matt sat in front of me, looking more and more confused, probably just as I looked. Were the guys telling the truth? Did Matt really like me back? If it was real, I couldn't let him go on tour without him knowing.

"Matt, can I ask you something?"

"Sure love."

His comment made my knees weak, even if I was sat on the floor. Taking a deep breath, I looked down at my hands, focusing only on the words that I was going to say and not on the awkwardness I was feeling.

"So, there's a thing that I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, but I never really had the guts to. It's just that...I like you a lot and now you're about to be going on tour and...would you like to go out with me? Like on a date?"

Silence fell over us, making me think that I had just ruined our friendship. Feeling the tears in my eyes, I tried to hide my face with my hands, but Matt lifted my head with his hand, a look of pure happiness on his face.

"I would love to go on a date with you Y/N. And I like you a lot too."
