Authors note- showing Vern some Love bc not a lot of people do and he's a cute puppy
I've been best friends with Vern Tessio for as long as I can remember. I sometimes thought he liked me, but didn't think much of it. I wouldn't turn him down if he said he did, though.
Right now I was at his house sitting on his porch watching the stars.
"(Y/N), I need to tell you something." He said suddenly.
"Yeah?"
"Well, I think-"
Then the back screen door slammed. "Vern. Where's my comb?" His older brother Billy snapped.
"Comb? I don't have your comb!" Vern said.
"Sure, did you lose it like that one you did over the fuckin' river?"
"No! Leave me alone Billy."
"Whatever, have fun with your girlfriend." Billy rolled his eyes and went back inside.
"Sorry, (Y/N)." Vern sighed.
"Its alright, but what did you want to tell me?"
"Nothin', it not important."
"Of course it is! You can tell me."
"Okay, um, well, I think I like you. For a long time."
I smiled in the dark knowing it was coming.
"I like you too, Verno."
"Well, I like you more than cherry pez." He whispered.
