reasons why i love you

reason four

day three

you begged your mum for us to hang out, it took a long while for her to respond.

i even had to text her a few times to ask her where she was. you continuously got angry at your brothers for being loud while you were skyping me.

i thought it was a little funny.

you smiled when i laughed, it was worth it.

finally, my mum got off work and agreed to pick you up on her way home.

today, we went on a date to the cinema.

we saw beauty & the beast, and i found it hard to not look at your lips.

"them kissing makes my anxiety worse. this is not okay!" you'd state with a laugh.

i smiled because i wanted to kiss you.

i told you to quiet down, because we were probably the most hated in the theatre that day.

even though i had already seen the movie, it was even better the second time. i had you with me.

when the movie was finally over, i took your hand and pulled you out of the cinema. we called my mum, she said she'd be here to pick us up soon and to look around target while we wait for her.

we agreed, we walked hand in hand down the sidewalk.

we walked into the store, getting awkward stares and ugly looks. we didn't care.

or, i didn't, at least.

you, on the other hand...

there were lots of homophobic slurs from straight couples, you'd think they'd understand.

they looked like they were in love, as well.

i only pulled you closer.

reason number four: you beg for us to hang out, no one has done that before (and you claim to hate beauty & the beast).
