~Kellin~
Hunter and I made my way over to my locker to get all my books for my morning classes. He was telling me about some pretentious foreign movie and had been holding my hand the entire time. I had to keep repositioning my fingers because my hands were so much smaller than his and his palm was slippy with sweat. I glanced up the hall and I was putting in my combination and caught sight of Vic. He stood alone with his headphones in and his gaze cast down. I opened my locker and a box fell out.
"What's this?" Hunter snorted, tugging off the card.
"Hunter, give it back," I said, jokily although panic was rising in my throat.
"To Kell, I hope you like it, Love Vic," he sniggered loudly.
I glanced at Vic, thankfully he didn't seem to notice, probably due to his headphones.
"That loser still leaving weird gifts and stuff in your locker? That is so messed up," Hunter spoke with raised eyebrows, tossing the card to one side.
My face fell as I watched it get swallowed up in the crowd of people moving along the corridor.
He laughed and kicked the box for emphasis, before leaving along with everyone else due to the bell ringing.
I waited until everyone was gone and searched around for the note. I found it crumpled in the corner and read it, hearing Vic's voice in my head. I smiled and pulled the box toward me.
First in there was a pack of shark gummies with a note attached that read: You don't seem too happy lately and I know these are your favourites so use them on a bad day to make you smile, Love Vic. I smiled at how he remembered. Next there was a cd with a hand written cover that read:I remember how much you loved to dance and on the back it listed countless blink 182 and all time low tracks Vic and I used to love listening to together. Finally at the bottom was a note.
Kell, I know it's not much but I really hope it shows how much I care about you. I know you don't care about me anymore, but that doesn't matter, as long as you're happy I'll still love you so much. If you ever need me I'll be there for you, whenever you're ready.
Love, Vic.
I smiled as I found a bunch of photos under the letter. The first was probably taken by Tony or someone as a joke as Vic and I were sleeping. The second was a selfie of us at the beach and Vic was smiling so big. The third was a picture of our hands holding.
I laughed as I came across one I remembered Mike taking. He caught it at the perfect moment, just as Vic was laughing an adorable laugh.
~Vic~
After the bell rang I rounded the corner and looked out from behind it to see Kellin open the box. He looked so cute and smiled at it which caused me to feel so happy and like I was glowing on the inside. Just his happiness was enough for me, mine didn't matter, so long as he was happy. After he walked away, I sat down and opened my own present.  Inside was a bunch of movies he knew I loved and some candy. There was a note on top that read: Wanna have a movie night sometime?
I grinned, even if Kellin and I were just friends, being in his presence was almost enough. I felt so elated and carefree with him. He was the only person I could ever really talk to.
