I was sitting in my room with Jonathan. He was adjusting something to his camera and I was on my bed reading a book.
The room was silent and I didn't like that. I put my book down then sighed.
Jonathan ignored me as he continued messing around with the camera. I sat up "let's do something" I said.
"Like what?" Jonathan asked still not looking at me "let's explore" I smiled as Jonathan looked at me "where?" He asked then turned back to his camera "There's a forest near here, let's go there" I replied.
"I guess we could" he shrugged "great, I'll get some protection" I said walking over to my desk "protection?" He asked "yeah, like something small we could use for self defense" I said grabbing some pepper spray and other things to use.
"Oh for like a bear" he nodded "no, for like if whatever took your brother takes us" I said "Well be fine, Wills back and that's all over" he got up "just in case" I turned "let's go" I smiled and we left the house.
After a few minutes we made it to the forest. It was wet outside due to the storm that we just had.
We slowly walked in and started our journey. We'd make a few stops so that Jonathan can get some pictures.
As we walked further, we noticed what looked like a river. It was surprisingly beautiful.
"Come on" I grabbed his hand and led him to the edge as we took a seat, looking down at the water.
Jonathan took a picture of me admiring the beauty "I wasn't ready" I shouted trying to grab his camera but failed as he quickly moved it out of my reach "you looked pretty trust me" he laughed.
"Looked?" I asked "look" he smiled. We starred at each other, until I slowly looked back at the water.
"Can I ask you something" he said "yeah" I replied "do you just see us as friends?" He asked "best friends" I smiled "no I mean as anything else" he looked at me.
"You mean like together?" I asked "yeah" he replied "I guess" I looked back at him.
I slowly leaned in and he did too. Then it happened, we kissed. I was kissing Jonathan Byers, my best friend.
I guess I've always had feelings for him, but I never wanted to let them get in the way of our friendship. I never thought he felt the same way.
We pulled away "I um think we should get going" I stuttered "we probably should" he awkwardly replied.
The walk back, we talked, but not about the kiss or our feelings. Even if we don't talk about that now, I know soon everything will be put into place.
Whether we end up together or just stay as friends, that's up to us, but for now we're just best friends trying to figure our feelings out.
