my boy - timothee chalamet

18

Saturday, February 17,2018

the rest of the week had to have been one of the most awkward ones in amelia's life.

she went from hating saoirse's and timothee's guts one day to conversing, awkwardly, the next.

their lunch table had lots of awkward tension that thursday and friday; it felt like everyone had just met each other.

luckily, it was the weekend now. and it was 11:26 am to be exact. amelia had just woken up and she was headed into her living room but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw timothee sitting on her couch, looking around expectantly.

she turned to run back into her room but accidentally ran straight into her wall, getting his attention.

"well good morning, amelia!" he laughed, walking over to her with his arms out.

she covered her face with one hand while pushing him away with her other, "oh god timothee what are you doing here? it's o early! i haven't even brushed my teeth i look so bad!"

he followed her back into her room where she rapidly began to comb her hair and look somewhat presentable. he thought she looked adorable; he'd seen her like this so many times when they'd have sleepovers.

however, her hands fumbled around her dresser to find her glasses. usually, she wouldn't be so flustered but now that their feelings are out there, she doesn't know how to act.

he eyed her body, admiring how her legs looked exposed as she seemed to only be wearing a big t-shirt and spandex. they made eye contact in the mirror as she fixed her hair, but both looked away like two middle school kids who just announced their crushes to each other.

"why are you here?" amelia asked as she walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth, knowing he would follow. he sat down on the covered toilet, watching her for a while before he answered.

"do you have plans today?" he asked, tapping his leg.

she was sort of taken aback at this question but didn't want it to show. "uh, no... why?"

"great! i'm taking you out! just me and you all day... starting now!" he grinned, standing up behind her to wrap his arms around her. they smiled at each other in the mirror. amelia had her toothbrush in her mouth still, making him giggle. she took the opportunity to take his looks in now since she's been avoiding eye contact since he got here in fear that he'd see her morning face.

he was wearing a black shirt with red hearts all over, making her smile widely at how cheesy he was. but he looked damn good.

"oh really, chalamet... where are you taking me then?" she grinned, walking out of the bathroom after cleaning her mouth. she began to rummage through her closet for something perfect to wear.

"well," he began, wrapping his arms around her once again, making her turn around. they were face to face now. "i'll take you anywhere you want, pretty girl" he kissed her forehead once before playing his lips centimeters away from hers, giving her the chance to close the space. she thought for a second that it was too soon to be giving into him, that they had just been fighting less than a week ago, that he made her feel unloved, but she couldn't resist. she wanted to patch them back together. so she leaned in. the both of them immediately relaxed, showing just how much they were stressed. the kiss meant so much and made them question a lot. what were they now? they can't be just friends if they're kissing, right?

amelia pulled away first, tip toeing to kiss his nose before returning back to her closet.

timothee took that as a cue to just sit, so he positioned himself at the end of the bed, watching her and mindlessly scanning her room. he laid back on the bed, his mind running wild. he feels like he hasn't fully made up for what he did to amelia. he began to beat himself up for it until she announced that she'd finish getting ready in the bathroom.

knowing it'll be about an hour until she was ready, timothee decided to wander around to pass the time. walking around her room, there were dozens of photos of them two whether it be photobooth or polaroid pictures, they were everywhere. the majority of them were taped to her dresser mirror. all of them ranged from them being months old to some from years ago.

timothee was smiling without knowing he was even smiling; he felt his stomach flip when he recognized when certain pictures were taken. like the one from when they did the 5th grade science fair project together and lost due to amelia accidentally crushing their mini volcano when she was running to the showroom. or the picture of them two in crazy theatre makeup after the first show of their school's production of The Little Mermaid.

looking at these pictures always made timothee emotional knowing that they were almost going to college already. just yesterday they were loud, inseparable fourth graders.

he bit his lip, thinking about how lucky he was to know amelia, especially for so long. there's no other person he'd rather have in his life. he could be with her forever...

before he knew it, the bathroom door unlocked and she walked out. timothee's jaw dropped at the first sight of her.

she was wearing the dress she bought the day they went to that thrift shop on their family weekend getaway. it was hugging her curves perfectly;her face had light makeup on, accentuating her features.

as if a magnet was pulling him, timmy walked over to her and reached out to touch her. "you are so damn beautiful, amelia." he whispered. "i get you all to myself today. i'm gonna show you off, darling."

amelia blushed, cupping his cheek. they stayed in that position for a while, just looking into each other's eyes.

it was now 1:11 but they were both dressed for a night out. after a few minutes of back and forth banter between them, timothee decided to take her out for a snack before their actual dinner, but of course he had to comment on how she looked like a snack first.

after they both settled in the car, they looked over at each other with excitement in their eyes. they both knew that this day was gonna be a good one...
