everett
he's been trying all week to spit it out, to finally tell derek how he feels, but every time he's about to, his throat closes up and his heart beats a mile a minute. maybe he's terrified because derek is so much like aidan, and everett's worried that it he says that he loves derek, he'll leave too.
"babe?" derek says, setting the table for dinner. he's a great chef. "you okay?"
"yeah! i was just daydreaming," he replies embarrassingly.
derek rambles about his business class for a good five minutes, and everett can't bear it any longer. "i love you."
derek blinks.
"i'm sorry, but i do, and i... you should go."
"i love you, too."
