"Alright buddy give me one second to go get ready" Ray said, a small smile on his face. I watched him walk out of the office. I sat up, wiping my tears away from my face. God, why was I acting like this? I usually never get emotional, especially over a fucking video game. I tried to push out the thought out of my head when I looked up to meet eyes with Gavin. His bright eyes looked almost mad. He looked away. I tilted my head, knowing something was wrong.

"You okay Gav?" I asked, my voice sore from yelling.

Gavin looked up at me. His hair hung over his sparkling green eyes. I could tell he was holding in something, like he was disappointed. I don't know what I did wrong. "I'm fine Mi-cool. Just thinking." He looked back down to the floor. I know he would never know how much I cared about him. He began to stand up from kneeling infront of me. I did the same. When we both stood up, we faced eachother. His eyes darting around the room. I was somewhat confused, as if he was making sure nobody was here. I found out why.

He pulled me into a hug. His arms sliding underneath mine around my waist. he moved his head to the right and hung over me like a shadow. I hugged back, my arms wrapped around him, nuzzling my head into his shoulder. I was surprised to feel a soft kiss placed on the top of my head. He rubbed my back as he saw how awkward I felt. He pulled away, even though I wanted to hold him for so much longer. We both stood there for a second, a silence filling the air.

"Alright buddy. I'm going to get a muffin. Want one?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Sure, can you just grab me a chocolate one? Just drop it off at my house. I'm heading home in a few minutes anyways."

"No problem friend." I replied, walking away. I grabbed a sweatshirt after putting on my shoes. I heard it might snow later and I don't want to be cold. "See ya in a bit"

"Ciao" I heard him say before I walked out the door and close the door. I found Ray in the hallway he saw me and waved. I smiled back at him. Somehow he made me feel so much better, even though i would rather be with Gavin. We decided to just walk to the cafe. It was only a few blocks away anyways. Ray looked over at me.

"Are you okay buddy? You are being rather quiet. Did something happen with Gav?" He said. I could tell that it was on his mind the whole time.

I could feel my face get red. I looked at my shoes as I kept walking. Just hearing his name gave my head a rush. My heart started racing.

No, snap out of it. You don't like him. And he doesn't like you.

Wait, why would I think that. I DON'T like him. He's just my best friend. That's all.

"Not really. He so cute," I said as a joke but I knew I was telling the truth, "he just wants me to pick up a chocolate muffin for him and drop it off and his place."

"I know you like him" He mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh nothing. Just talking to myself." He quickened his pace, as if trying to get away from me, pulling out his phone.

"Oh" I silently said, jogging to catch up to him. "Why are you going so fast?"

He shrugged. I saw he was texting someone but when I leaned over to see who it was he jerked away. I sighed when he put it away.

We finally made it to the cafe. Ray ordered for me, insisting he should treat. He bought us both a blueberry muffin and got Gavin his chocolate one. I grabbed onto the paper bag that had his and mine together, and Ray took his without a bag, munching it on the way out. Every few minutes he would pull out his phone and send a message to someone. I tried to ignore it the most I could but it bothered me. I figured that if he cared about his phone more than me, I should just leave.

"I'm going to head out to Gav's house" I told him, starting to walk away.

"Alright buddy. See you tomorrow." He replied, still looking down at his phone.

I jumped into a taxi to get to Gav's.

I quickly finished my editing the video that should be up tomorrow, trying to get the hug out of my head.

Why did you kiss him? He probably think's you are weird.

Shut up

You know you like him. You have for awhile. Tell him. You have to soon.

I left the office and threw a beanie on outside. Man it was chilly.  I wanted to go home. I wanted to be there when Michael shows up. Geoff was out with Jack for the night so I was home alone. I quickly got changed, taking off my work clothes and throwing on some sweats and a white shirt. I heard my phone go off. It was Ray.

Hey bro! Are you home?

I replied with a smile on my face

Yea just got home! You still with Mi-cool? :)

I jumped onto the couch, stretching my legs out trying to relax. My phone went off again.

Yea walking with him to the cafe now. He keeps trying to look at my phone haha.

I laughed at the thought of Michael trying to get a phone from him. 

Haha he's adorable!

Oh crap

Did I just say that?

Did I just tell Ray I thought Michael was adorable?

I cringed as my phone buzzed in my hand.

You really think that? He did just call you cute. :P

I froze. He called me cute? 

I was glad nobody was here because my cheeks turned so bright. I didn't know how to reply. Did this mean something?

I had to reply.

Oh really? Haha awesome. I'm going to close my eyes now. Remember to text Dan! Talk to you later!

I knew how much Ray liked Dan. They have only met once when Dan came to visit me in the US. They were always together. I know Michael even caught them cuddling.

I turned off my phone and closed my eyes, quickly falling to sleep. I wanted Michael here with me.
