  It was 1:58 am, and the only thing I could see through the dark was the partially lit face of Vic Fuentes being illuminated by the streetlight ahead. We were silent, which was strangely comforting, even in the empty space between us. I saw the lit portion of Vic's face, his jawline, tug upwards into a small smile and felt myself mirroring him.

  I shifted my weight from foot to foot, biting my lip to keep from giggling and interrupting the streak of silence. Vic's smile, still the only thing I could see, stayed stagnant. He licked his bottom lip without thinking, and I wondered if he knew how much I loved it when he did that. We were continuously quiet; I could hear summer's subconscious sounds all around us. Finally, Vic spoke.

"Kellin," he breathed out, and I nodded, then realized he couldn't see me, "I'm like, 98.2% sure I'm in love with you."

I giggled, then fell silent as I felt his stern gaze that seemed to slap some reality into me. I took a breath. "Vic." I responded, mocking his tone. He nudged me playfully, but let me continue. "What about the 1.8%?" At this, he raised his eyebrows (I guessed, anyway- I knew him well enough to guess his nervous habits correctly.) and tried to respond, but nothing came out at first. Finally, he regained his cool and responded simply:

"Ah, see, that's the part that I need to find out." I saw his shoulders shrug through the illumination. But before I could ask what he meant, I saw his smile fade into a serious expression, and I felt thousands of fireworks on my lips.

I'm in love with you too, Vic Fuentes.

3 months later

  I could clearly smell the musty scent of rain on the pavement below as I walked off the plane and down the steps that were provided. Gloomy, grey clouds were huddled above me and I looked up briefly to quickly examine them. My focus then stayed straight ahead where I could see a dark vehicle parked in the near distance. A small figure stood beside it and I broke out into an ear to ear smile, knowing exactly who it was.

  My legs took me as fast as they possibly could. With the same idiotic smile plastered on my face, I tumbled down the rest of the stairs and dashed to the car ahead. I could hear my heart thumping in my ears and the adrenaline spike throughout my body made me feel a way I had never felt in my entire life.

  As I drew closer I noticed the figure, my beloved boyfriend, was also smiling as he slowly walked closer to me. In a matter of seconds my suitcase dropped from my hands and I wrapped my arms around Vic who did the exact same. Neither of us said anything for awhile. I was soaking up the feeling of his touch for the first time in a month.

"I am so glad you're home." Vic breathed into my shoulder. I broke out into yet another smile. I couldn't help it.

"I'm glad too. God, I missed you so damn much." I whispered.

  Vic gave me an affectionate squeeze but remained silent. Somehow him not saying anything said so much. We both stood there even longer, Vic's arms wrapped tightly around me as if he was never going to let me go. I felt as if all my stress and worries melted away in that exact moment. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder. The noises around us were no longer audible once I was focused on him, and only him. We remained that way for what seemed like decades as timed stopped and it was just Kellin and Vic.

  Eventually, with hesitation, I stepped back. I took in his chocolate brown eyes, the way his hair was messy from the flight, his cute little nose ring that I loved to fiddle with; my eyes settled on his lips and I stared at them as he smiled in response.

"So, I was thinking that maybe once we-" I began, but was cut off by Vic pulling us together so our lips finally connected. Rude, I thought, but then again, I had been craving his touch for a month now and I wasn't going to give that up. After a while he pulled back, and instead of saying anything, he just smirked and winked at me playfully. Dick.
