2nd POV

  You had recently today asked Lafayette to come to your house. Later in the day though, you arranged a specific time and told him where your house was. His parents said that he didn't need to be home until nine PM, which was a light up for you. You both compromised and said that he would come over at six. All of this would, of course, happen just after school, so you planned everything once you got home. You had finally arrived home in a happy yet nervous mood. You texted your parents about it and they said they didn't care because miraculously, they were heading out this Friday night. And yes, it was Friday. TGIF. You and your imbecile older brother were the only ones home when you arrived after getting off the bus. You went straight to your room and talked to Jackson.

-le time skip brought to you by turtle boi-

  You and Jackson had talked for awhile and you watched f/tv while waiting for six to come by. It was five fifty three and you started panicking. What if this didn't work out? What would happen next? Would you ask him again, trying to do the same thing? What if he rejected you? What if he stopped liking you after finding out? The questions swam in the sea that you called your mind.
   The time came. Right at five fifty nine, he knocked on your front door. Oh no. Oh God. He was here. You went downstairs ignoring your death-glaring brother. You opened the door to see him. The perfect guy. Right in front of you, going to kiss you God knows when. Your brother stared. He scoffed and walked off after staring at Laf with one of his worst glares.
  "Mon Ami, what was that about?" Laf asked, pointing at your brother who was going downstairs to his room in the basement.
  You said, "He does that a lot to my guy friends." Laf nodded in understanding. You then suggested that you two stay outside and he surprisingly agreed.
  You walked to your 'big treh', as Jackson calls it, in your backyard. You both climbed up it, proceeding to sit on a large branch that wasn't too far from the climb up. As soon as you two sat down, Laf started talking. The conversation turned into Truth or Dare. Lafayette's truth was unexpected.
  You said truth and he said, "Who do you like, Mon Ami?" Your eyes widened at the question.
  "W-what?" His face dropped.
  "Y-you don't have to tell me, I'm sorry..." He turned away in disappointment and embarrassment. That's when your mind clicked.
  This was the moment that you could tell him. But that's when another thing clicked. What if he rejected you? You mustered up the courage that was all gathered up with your low self-esteem and the hours of confidence building.
  "Well, uh... It's..." You began and he looked at you with slight surprise.
  "It's you."
  You looked at him in the eye. His were wide. You blushed deeply and he blushed also. You both stared at each other for a moment, not knowing what to do.
  Laf started stuttering. "R-really?" He asked quietly. You looked away and nodded. You heard him move from his spot and he cupped your cheek with his hand.
  "Je t'aime.."
