We'll Be Fireproof

Chapter Six

As soon as dinner is done I run up to my room, excusing myself by saying I have homework. Ty has messaged me once. 20 minutes ago.

You... Have no idea the effect you have on me. I can't believe that you called me that. It's so unbelievably romantic. No one has ever been this flirtatious or loving towards me. Ever. Is it insane for me to be this flustered over just this one thing? I just.. Don't know how to handle my feelings towards you, but just know, you're sly flirtatious comments make me more flustered than anything else. And I love it.

I break into a huge smile, pulling my legs up onto my desk chair, grinning so wide that my cheeks hurt. It's a lovely feeling.

I guess I'll have to flirt more often, won't I? And please, don't worry. Everything you say makes me flustered. Every time you call me sweet boy I almost faint.

Oh god, I want to kiss you so bad.

I send it before I can think twice. I know I'll regret this, but I can't think straight when he calls me that. It's such a simple name, but it constantly leaves me breathless.

You know, I always look around school to see if anyone is wearing any band merch. If someone is wearing a Twenty One Pilots shirt I immediately debate whether or not it's you. It always takes the breath out of me. I kind of love it, though.

I know what I'm going to wear tomorrow.

I just look for anyone who has an indie style, which is a super broad approach but I always wonder. As bad as it is, I always have someone I want you to be.

You do? God, I've been sitting in a cloud of guilt because I also have someone I want you to be. I feel bad, but it's a little reassuring that you have someone you want me to be. It's also extremely nerve-racking because I don't want to disappoint you.

Does he really think that's possible? He's the sweetest person I've ever talked to, how could I ever be disappointed by him?

Oh Ty, I could never be disappointed by you. You're too exciting to be a letdown. Trust me, you're all I ever think about anymore. You've taken over my life in the most fantastic way. I don't care what you look like, okay? You're amazing on your own. Plus, I bet you're the hottest guy in school.

You make my heart smile. Is it crazy that I'm falling in love with you?

Fuck me.
