The deep navy sky twinkled brightly over the two of best friends. This was a tradition of yours, once the weather became warm enough the two of you would grab a blanket, some fruit and water, and ditch the mobile phones for a night under the stars. You and Sam had been doing this since the beginning of secondary school and after that first night the both of you knew that this would be a regular occurrence, so once a month the two of you climbed out his window and onto the roof of the Holland’s. Since Sam had been away working at a ski lodge for the season, it was the first time you both had done this in a couple of months. But tonight was no different than any other of the ones from months and years before, it was just two friends spending time together and enjoying each others company after a long time away from each other.

You, of course, had a blooming crush on Sam that had only started a couple of months ago when you caught yourself thinking about how cute Sam’s freckles seemed or how his pink cheeks turned your own red. Sam, on the other hand, had a crush on you for a number of years now but never had the guts to tell you about his true feelings for you and the months away from you only drove him insane. This night was only making it harder for the both of you to keep from falling deeper in love with one another, but neither knew that.

So there the two of you sat, joking around and laughing about something that probably wasn’t even funny, looking at the stars in each other’s eyes. Sam’s light eyes seemed to dazzle with laughter as he giggled at you, while yours seemed like dark embers that glowed in the night sky.

“I’m so glad you’re home,” You said with a deep sigh as you leaned back onto you hands. Sam looked over at you with a small smile gracing lips, leaning back to catch your own bright smile, “Yeah, I am too (y/n). I’ve missed this.”

You grabbed a strawberry and ate it all before throwing the leaves into the garden below them. Sam sipped at his water in hopes that the cold liquid would help cool his pink cheeks, but the water nor the wind helped the boy. Your heart thumped in you chest as you thought about finally telling him how you felt about him, how you felt for him more than just being his best friend. How his dancing freckles made you blush or how his smile wins you over every time. How you seem to lose yourself when you watch and hear him play the piano, or how he makes you laugh when you sing a song that reminds you of him…Or how these last few months without him made your heart hurt. How the pictures with the dark haired, tanned skin girl had made you feel like youwere losing him.

Your heart leaped as your gaze turned to him and saw his eyes already on you, you moved to look away with a small smirk on your face but Sam’s hand stopped you. His strong, soft hand held you chin and you gulped loudly at the attention.

“Hold on, you’ve got some strawberry juice on your lip.” The closeness fazed you, so you simply let him drag his thumb across your lower lip before looking to see his light eyes staring into you dark ones. 

He was going to kiss you.

You knew he was, his hypnotizing eyes were bouncing from your eyes to your pink lips and he kept leaning in millimeter by millimeter. This was what you had dreamed about for months and months on end, what had been blooming for years and years, so why were you so afraid?

Because this is Sam. He’s your best friend! So what happens if this doesn’t work out? What happens when he leaves like everyone else?

But this was Sam! The same boy that made your stomach scream when he looks at you and makes you feel like your suffocating even if he’s across the room. He takes your breath away and he takes every moment into his arms and holds them to your heart. You shouldn’t be afraid of Sam, he won’t hurt you.

But he’s leaning into you, holding your cheek in his hand and holding you like precious china and your falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Fall-

Your thoughts were cut off by a quick but long lasting kiss to your lips. He pulled away with his eyes staring deeply into your closed ones, “Why is your heart beating so fast?”

“Because I’ve been dreaming of that for forever.”

“(y/n), I want this-I want you.”

“I want…I want you too. More than you know.”

Your hand reached up and held his to your cheek. A small, bright smile pulled at the ends of his lips and he moved closer to you slowly. The stars up above were smiling down at the two of you happily, brightly twinkling to show their approval.

“Then kiss me, love.”

So you did.
