Confessions In The Dark

ALEX

Tonight my best friend was coming over for a movie night and I was excited. PVRIS had just come off our first major tour and it was the first tour y/n had been able to come on because the final year of college was important. I'd gotten our favourite snacks and we were going to binge watch our favourite show Invader Zim.

The sky had gone dark and the heaven opened, I got a pretty annoyed message off y/n stating how much she hated the rain and how if it turned into a storm then there would be hell to pay. y/n hated storms and I told her I'd protect her, I'd always protect her because I might just be in love with her.

Yes, I know it's cliché to be in love with your best friend, but I didn't know just how much I wanted her until she wasn't on tour and I didn't wake up every morning with her sleeping in my arms because we shared a bunk. Lynn and Brian both loved y/n and told me to go for it. I knew y/n was single and I just hoped that after nearly 10 years of knowing each other that she felt the same way.

Someone hammers on the front door and I have a suspicion that it's y/n trying to get out of the rain. My suspicions were correct as I open the door and there on my porch stood a dripping wet y/n head to toe. I quickly usher her inside and shut the door.

"I would hug you Alex but I'm a little wet. Do you think I can borrow some clothes?"

y/n was shivering and I felt bad for her, if she didn't get dry and warm soon she could catch a cold.

"Help yourself and I'll make us both hot chocolate with all the toppings."

"Thanks, Alex, you're always my knight in shining armour."

y/n takes me by surprise and pecks me on the cheek before walking towards my bedroom. Did that kiss mean something? I shake my head and set about making us some hot chocolate. Just as I finish putting the mugs on the coffee table y/n emerges wearing a pair of my sweats and a PVRIS jumper which swamped her small frame, her hair was up in a messy bun and she'd removed her smudged makeup. I thought she was beautiful without it.

"You look warmer y/n."

"I love your clothes, Alex, because they smell like you."

I sit down on the sofa so she couldn't see me blush. She sits down next to me and I throw the blanket covering my feet over hers as well. The rain hits the window and a loud clap of thunder echoes across the sky followed by streaks of lightning. y/n squeals and jumps before throwing herself at me and burying her head into the crook of my neck. I hold her in my arms and hum songs to keep her distracted.

"You must think I'm a baby Alex bring scared of some lightning."

I shake my head and continue to rub circles on her back "everyone has fears y/n it's what makes us human. Plus I get to cuddle you which I don't mind."

y/n chuckles and goes to reply but the lights in the apartment go out plunging us into darkness making her scream and bury her face back into my neck. She might also have a small fear of the dark that not many people knew about.

"I'll get us some candles y/n."

She reluctantly lets go of me and I head over to the cabinet to get some candles and matches. I place them around the room and eventually, a small romantic glow illuminates the room.

"Damn Alex, did you create the storm to make this night romantic?"

I laugh nervously and sit down next to her pulling her back into my arms "would that be a bad thing y/n?"

y/n looks up and I swear I see her blush but I could have been wrong. I decide to take Lynn and Brian's advice and go for it, so I bend down and brush my lips across hers. I expect her to pull away but instead, she parts her lips allowing me to deepen the kiss which I don't hesitate to do.

After a couple of minutes, she pulls back and grins "I wondered who was going to make the first move Alex, I really like you."

Those were the words I'd wanted to hear, now I knew my best friend felt the same way I did. Now I could finally take the next step.

"y/n I really like you to, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course, I'll be your girlfriend Alex, now kiss me again."

I didn't need to be told twice so I go in and kiss her again. I was happy for the storm now.
