"omg that's ethan dolan"
"grayson dolan...is right there...i'm going to faint"
"aww y/n is with them"
i smile and find the kind girl who said that. she smiles at me and i take a picture with her.
"can i have a video of you kissing ethan's cheek" she asks sweetly in the mass confusion
i nod and grab ethan's hand, pulling him towards her
"ready?" i ask her
she nods and i kiss ethan's cheek. he blushes and a bunch of girls coo
"thank you so much" she gushes
"your welcome so much, beautiful"
i hug her and move onto the next girl

"that was crazy" ethan sighs, closing the door to the house behind him
"yeah it was" i agree
"dude, did you see that one girl with dark hair? she was hot" grayson says
i laugh "you think every girl is hot"
"that is true" ethan agrees
grayson rolls his eyes at ethan"yeah, that's only because you like y/n"
i freeze and look at grayson who is anxiously glancing between ethan and i
"i d-didn't mean t-to say t-that" gray stutters nervously, his body shaking uncontrollably
he looks like he's about to have a panic attack so i gather myself and walk towards grayson. i kneel down and gently place my hand on his cheek
"shhh grayson. you're fine. it's fine. you didn't mean to. it's okay" i repeat over and over again
he eventually stops shaking and starts crying. i pull him into my arms and let him get it out of his system.
a few minutes later, he sniffs and wipes his eyes. he turns around and looks at me with his big hazel-green orbs "i really didn't mean to tell you that" the tears start to weld up in his eyes again
"shhh grayson, it's okay. i'll handle it. don't make yourself upset again"
he sniffs "okay"
we sit in silence for a few more minutes before i start to get up and look for ethan.
"i'll be back" i say
"okay" he answers with a smile
i walk up the stairs and knock on ethan's door "come in" he says with a husky voice
his voice only sounds like that when he's upset
i walk into his room and close the door behind me. i walk over to his bed and sit on an empty space near his hip (he's laying down)
"ethan-" i start, but stop and look at him
he stares at the ceiling, a tear trickling down his cheek
i lean over top of him and look at his eyes. he averts his attention from the ceiling to my eyes and keeps the eye contact
"why are you crying, ethan?"
he breaks the eye contact and wipes his eye, staring at the ceiling again "i'm not"
i resist the urge to say anything more. instead, i lay beside him and stare at the ceiling. i hadn't realized, until that very second that ethan wasn't staring at a plain white ceiling. he was staring at a rose that i had drawn for him a few months ago. he must've used a whole roll of tape on that picture, not leaving a single edge or corner untapped.
i sat up and straddled ethan's lap, trying to grasp his attention. it works and he sits up, leaning his back against the headboard.
"i like you too" i whisper
i don't particularly know why i whispered it, but maybe it was because i was afraid that if i said it louder, he wouldn't feel the same way. for some dumb reason, i was scared to tell him that i liked him even though i knew that he liked me. i was scared that it wasn't true and i was overthinking all of this while i was waiting for him to tell me how he felt.
ethan smiles and leans in, placing his soft lips on mine
it's funny to me, how two people could like each other so much, yet hide it so well. we both managed to do that for god knows how long, such a heavy weight on our chests. but it has finally been lifted and triumph has never tasted so good.
seriously, ethan's lips taste like strawberries.
"i'm so glad that you like me back. i was so afraid that i was going to ruin our friendship."
i smile and peck his lips "you would've never ruined our friendship, plus you're adorable"
he smiles and kisses my lips again
"i knew both of you like each other" grayson says bursting through the door
i laugh "sure you did, word vomiter"
grayson blushes "yeah, yeah"
ethan gives him a look and grayson jumps "oops, let me leave you two love birds alone"
i blush along with ethan as grayson leaves and closes the door behind him
it's quiet for a moment before ethan says "how am i adorable?"
i smile and point to the ceiling. he looks up and blushes.
i kiss his cheek "even you blushing is adorable"
he blushes even harder
