Eye of the storm - Lams fanfic

I am sorry if everything isn't completely correct. I haven't written a fanfic in years. Hope you enjoy though.

I snuggle up to the gap in between his shoulder and jaw. I felt his beard. It felt spiky but soft at the same time.
"I love you, you know." I say, holding and stroking his hand.

"I love you too, Johnnie." He replied and squeezed my hand.

"I was so nervous to say it before, but now it just comes naturally." I grin but it falls to a frown. "Things were so difficult the last few years but I'm glad I forgave you."

Let me go back to the start

It was October of 2015 when Alex came to my house in trouble.
I knew what it was about. I'd read the pamphlet. I saw Eliza's reaction. I wasn't angry, just disappointed.

When I saw him awkwardly standing on my doorstep with a tear-stained miserable face. I loved that face.
"Alex? Come in." I stood aside.

After I had taken his coat we sat on the sofa.
"I'm sorry." He said shortly.
"What for?" I looked at him. He looked so helpless.
"For coming here." He was fidgeting with his hands on his jeans.
I turned to face him. He looked up slightly and briefly then continued fidgeting. "Alexander, you're the closest friend I've got" he looked up shyly. "I know what you did but I can't hate you. You made a mistake."

He hesitated. "Thank you. I- well.." he stopped and stood up. He started to leave but while he walked towards the door I swear he mumbled something. Something that shocked me. Something that consumed my waking days.

I could've sworn he said "I love you..."

Thank you for reading. I hope it's okay. If there's anything I am change just comment and I'll try to change it. Have a nice day/night
