*buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz*
I pick up the phone quickly to stop the annoying buzz that indicates someone is calling me. Without even looking at the caller ID, I put the phone up to my ear. "What?" I say in a not so kind way. "Well hello to you to y/n/n." I recognize my best friend Ethan on the phone. The nickname and the voice were both a dead give away. I turn over and rub my eyes trying to wake myself up a little more. "What could you possibly want at 2 in the morning Ethan." I talk quietly to not wake up my parents sleeping only a few room away from me. "I can't sleep so I want to go on a late night drive with you." Ethan speaks cheerfully through the phone. "Well I CAN sleep so the answer is no. I say preparing to hang up and return to my slumber. "I'll buy you McDonald's." He says right before I hang up. Ethan sure knew not to get to me. "Ok fine I'll be ready in 5 minutes." I say turning in my lamp light. "I'll be there in 2." I can tell he is smiling through the phone.
I sit up in bed and throw on an oversized hoodie. Probably Ethan's. As I slip on a pair of vans, I hear a small tap on my window, followed by another. And there stands my best friend Ethan Dolan standing in a pair of joggers and a hoodie almost identical to the one I am wearing. "Come on let's go." Ethan calls. I start climbing down the window. Something I've done many times before, and run to Ethan's car. "Where to first." He smiles ready for an adventure. I look at him with "duh" look. "Uh. McDonald's like you promised me." I say rather harshly. Could you blame me, I was awake at 2 am. Ethan smirks at me. "As you wish."
3rd person POV

"So you're telling me, you haven't had your first kiss yet. A spark of relief and happiness shot through Ethan's chest. He'd always wanted to give Y/N her first kiss, but was always much too afraid to do so. Ethan tries to hide his smile as Y/N talks. She puts the last other French fries in her mouth before shrugging her shoulders. She was glad it was dark so Ethan could not see her blushing cheeks. Ethan was glad it was dark so she couldn't see the wide smile spread across his face. "I just didn't want to have one of those cringey middle school first kisses, you know? But now looking back I just wish I had gotten it was over with." She shakes her head and lightly chuckles. "You don't want it to be special?" Ethan flickers his eyes between the road and Y/N. Ethan had always assumed girls wanted the perfect first kiss with a perfect guy, in the perfect place. "I use to. But is anyone's first kiss very special?" Y/N argues trying to make a point. Ethan takes in all the words she says as they pass the city limits.
"Well then I'll be your first kiss." Ethan immediately regrets the words knowing his best friend doesn't feel the same way about him as he does for her. Ethan's theory is confirmed when a small laugh come out of Y/N's mouth. "Are you serious?" Too late to back out now, Ethan thinks. "Yea. I mean come on, we're both 17, we can be mature about this. And you want to get it over with. I see no reason not to do it." Y/N's smile fades a small bit thinking Ethan only wants to kiss her for her Benefit. Not his. After years of friendship, she had recently started developing feelings for Ethan. But they were only best friends, and nothing more. That's what they both thought. But maybe one kiss could change that.
"Oh my gosh Ethan. I should have never told you that." Y/N says with her head in her hands. Ethan pulls onto the side of the road, turning the light on in the dark truck. "C'mon." Ethan says. He unbuckled her seatbelt and moves her over to the middle seat of the truck to be closer to her. "Just follow my lead." They look into each other's eyes while Ethan's hand creeps onto her cheek slowly. Both of their hearts beating out of their chests. Ethan starts leaning in closer once Y/N closes her eyes. He keeps his eyes open longer, enjoying the beautiful face in front of him and trying to fathom that he was getting the one thing he's wanted since 3rd grade. When there lips are about to meet, Ethan closes his eyes and catches her bottom lip in his. Y/N puts her hand on Ethan's shoulder indicating for him not to pull away. Ethan responds gently placing both his hand on her neck, as he continues to sweetly kiss the girl he had dreamed of for so long. After a minute, much longer then Y/N expected, they both pull away to catch their breathe. But not before Ethan catches her bottom lip in his for a short kiss, afraid he would never get the chance to again.
Both of them face forward not saying a word. The only sound being cars passing by every few seconds. "So...what now?" Ethan asked deciding it was now it never. It was time to figure out how you felt about him. "I guess...we do what you said. Be mature about it." Ethan turns his head towards her rapidly. "You just want to forget about it?" Ethan asks rather harshly. Y/N only shrugs. Rather shocked by Ethan's outburst. Of course she didn't want to just forget about it. If anything, it made her feeling for Ethan much stronger. But she didn't want to ruin the best friendship she had ever had. "Y/N, we just made out in my truck." Ethan says mostly just to remind himself that it happened. It finally happened." Y/N turns toward Ethan for the first time since the kiss. "Ethan, were best friends we can't ju--" "I like you." He blurts out with his eyes shut. Afraid of what he would see when he opens them. Y/N just sits there with a blank stare in her face. But on the inside, she feeling anything but blank, it felt like a whole fire was going off inside of her, how could she put that into words?
"Can I kiss you again?" Before Y/N had the time to respond, Ethan's lips were on hers once more. Except this time much more heated. "I-I think I like you to Ethan." Y/N admits smiling wider then when Ethan had handed her the McDonald's bag earlier.
Ethan's P.O.V
________________________________
My eyes shoot open when the sunlight beams right in my face. I look over to see Y/N still peacefully sleeping in my arms. She's finally mine. Last night, we crawled in the back seat and just talked about anything and everything. I also asked her to be my girlfriend. And thankfully, she said yes. I check my phone to see its 6 in the morning and I had to get Y/N home before her parents realized she was gone. "Baby? Wake up we have to drive home." I shake her awake gently. Her eyes open slowly and she smiles. She was always a happy morning person. Something that I had always admired about her. We climb in the front seat and drive the 30 minutes back to our neighborhood, holding hands the whole way. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to get to call her mine. I pull up in front of Y/N's house before she gets out, I grab her arm and turn her around to face me, immediately placing my lips on hers. I finally had the freedom to do this I I was going to use it. "Bye Ethan. I'll call you later." She says smiling at me. "Bye beautiful." She places a small kiss in my cheek before running over to her bedroom window. Well, I guess her first kiss was pretty special after all.
