(George's POV)

Reece and I have had this thing going on for a while now. We're not technically official but we basically are. But lately I've felt us getting closer. It's just the little things like fiddling with my fingers when he's nervous or bored, the way he's already looking at me when I wake up in the morning, comforting me in scary movies, sending me sweet goodnight messages, or even just the way he looks at me. I can tell something has changed. If I'm honest, I'm scared of that.

"Hey baby?" Reece's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

We were at my place watching a movie that I wasn't even paying attention to.

"Yeah babe?" I responded.

"The movie finished and you're staring at a blank screen." He laughed a little. "Everything okay?"

"Perfect." I smiled. "It always is when I'm with you."

He smiled sweetly at my comment. I lent in and placed a soft kiss to his lips, smiling as I pulled back but stayed close, not yet opening my eyes.

"I love you." He said after a moment of silence.

My heart stopped. I didn't know what to say so I decided on not saying anything and pulling him into a warm hug.

"You ready to sleep?" I mumbled, nervously breaking the silence.

He smiled and nodded, standing up a second later. We both changed and climbed into bed. I closed my eyes and the first thought on my mind was Reece. The sound of his voice, his laugh, his smile, the way our hands fit perfectly together, how he never fails to make me happy, to make me laugh, how we always have fun together, how he's always been there for me through the good and the bad, he's never judged me for being me. I thought about everything he's ever done for me. Yet even after everything, I can't even say the eight letters, the three words, the one thing he wants me to. He means everything to me, he makes me whole, but for some reason I keep getting in my own way.

He snuggled right up against me before whispering, "I love you George."

I just pretended I was already asleep.

Why am I avoiding it?
Why is it so hard to say?

I've said those words before, but it was a lie. And Reece deserves to hear them a thousand times. But I couldn't. So I let myself drift off while thinking about the beautiful boy beside me that deserves so much better.

I woke up in the arms of the one I adore and couldn't help smiling to myself. I decided to get up and go for a walk before Reece woke up. About ten minutes into my walk I got a message.

Reece:
Woke up and you weren't

Aw sorry gorgeous! I went for a walk, I'll be back in about 5 xx

Reece:
There'll be breakfast and a boyfriend waiting for you when you're home :) I love you ❤️
