Something Different - Skitscape and Fawdz

Alone With Tony

From then on, I was Dan's girlfriend. It felt... good, I guess, to have someone to call mine and to be called "mine" by someone. This, I realize, is something I didn't know I wanted until now. I want to hold hands and hug and kiss and talk and play with his hair and know that I'm not alone in this world. I haven't been in a serious relationship before, but I love it.

I spend almost all my time at Dan and Tony's apartment. I love being around them. While they're recording, I sit quietly on Dan's bed, listening to them joke and attempt to accomplish something in Minecraft. I hear Tony's high-pitched laugh through the walls, and I giggle myself.

I get to watch Tony and Dan as they film Whiteboard Wednesdays. They've even invited me to be in it a few times, but I'm not brave enough to go on camera. Even with Dan and Tony standing right beside me, I still don't think I can do it.

They have given me a major confidence boost. Dan, mostly, but Tony has too. I feel slightly better when I do things, because I know those two boys have my back. BoyS, plural. I have been becoming closer to Tony since Dan and I started dating. He's nice and funny like Dan-and really cute.

I think about them almost all the time. I don't really have friends... close ones, anyway. I have a few acquaintances at school. Dan and Tony are the only people who really like me and that I can trust. When I'm not spending time with them, I'm always thinking about them, in the least creepiest way possible.

One day, Dan has to stay behind at school, so I walk home alone. By home I mean to his and Tony's apartment. Tony is leaning over the counter, eating an apple. "Hey Lily," he greets. "Where's Dan?" "L

"Had to stay behind at school," I answer. "Okay. Want an apple?" He asks, offering me one. I lean on the opposite side of the counter and accept it.

Tony and I start talking, eating our apples and barely watching the tv. At one point, a silence falls on us, and I find myself just observing him. He has dark hair and deep brown eyes, along with a bit of scruff on his face. I search my mind for something to talk about, but I'm distracted by his features. The little things: the angle of his face, the shape of his nose, the curve of his soft-looking lips...

Without realizing, I seem to have gotten closer to him over the counter. At this time he chooses to turn to me, and our eyes meet. I see a previously unknown desire in his eyes, something that says "Hey, you're leaning in and I'm leaning in and I'm not going to be the one to stop it."

I'm not even thinking as I lean forward just a tiny bit more, and his lips slowly meeting mine.

That's when Dan open's the door.
