"I know." Paul smiled a bit.

"Like you," he said quietly.

"Paul, can I tell you something?" John played with his hands nervously.

"Sure!" Paul watched him expectantly.

I can do this, I can do this! He took a deep breath. "This has been the best birthday ever." Coward.

"Aw, I'm glad!" He hugged him, making him laugh nervously. "You're the greatest best friend in the world."

"Damn right I am."

Someday.
