"Phil? Can you keep the bird in the cage with the others? I don't want to hurt them."
"Of course!"
"Another thing..."
"Yes?"
"Do you think I could sleep over again? Maybe... maybe sleep in the treehouse?"
"OH MY GOSH!! THAT SOUNDS SO FUN!" Phil screeched, laughing. "I'll ask my mom if it's alright. We can get sleeping bags and lanterns and dried fruit and-" He cuts himself off. "Sorry, It's just I used to do this when I was younger and it was so fun without a friend and t'll be so much better with you!"
"Thanks, Phil!" I smiled.
"I'm gunna walk home first and grab some new clothes, if that's okay with you."
"You could borrow some of mine, if you'd like."
I blushed and looked down.
"Sure." I said, biting my lip.
"Here, catch!" Phil said, tossing a yellow Adventure Time hoodie, a black T-shirt and some black sweatpants at me.
"Thanks!" I walked out of Phil's room, sighing.
I really like Phil. A lot. But I don't want to mess anything up. Honestly, I'm just too scared to admit my feelings. It makes me feel all vulnerable and mushy. Blah.
I can't just wait around for nothing. I like him, he probably likes me... probably not. Once again, I'm just straight up confused. If I ask him out, and he says no, poof, there goes our friendship. But I can't just ignore it... it's an endless loop of 'what if's'. All it takes is 20 seconds of courage, right? Right. I slip on Phil's clothes after carefully removing the muddy ones, and walk into Phil's room, where he hands me a bag to put them in. I smile.
20 seconds.
"Hey, Phil?"
20, 19...
"I have an important question to ask you."
15, 14, 13...
"Yes?" He turns. I captured his attention.
10...9...8....
"I lik-" Phil's mom walks into the room, smiling, holding two mugs of hot cocoa.
"I figures you would want some cocoa in the morning! I'm making waffles for breakfast!"
"Oh, thanks mom!" Phil smiles as she walks out of the room.
"What was the question?"
"Oh... nothing important."
"Are you sure?"
No...
"Yep. It's fine."
"Dan..."
"Hmm?" I'm freaking out, I wish I had just told him. My 20 seconds is long past.
I guess my feelings will have to stay hidden for just a bit longer.
HELLO MY DUDES
did I really just say that...? sigh.
Sorry this is a-late and b-short, I had play practice until 6pm which was exhausting...
I hope you enjoyed it!!
