~Dante P.O.V~

I ran into Travis at the cafe, after yesterday everything was super awkward and I wish it wasn't. I miss how it used to be, I miss being able to be myself with him, I miss making him smile and our late nights. I swear people would have thought we were dating if they didn't know us. I miss us. Travis asked me if we could hang out, of course, I would love that, I get to hang out with Travis. We walked around town and went to our area. I remember spending so much time here, we would sometimes sleep on the ground. We always talked about girls and practiced flirting with them. I always talked about girls but I only wanted to make Travis fall in love with me. It never worked but getting girls didn't work either. I may or may not have made sure our pickup lines were horrible and offensive, I didn't want Travis trying them on a girl and getting her. I wanted him for myself. Once we arrived at our area we sat down. The snow was cold but both Travis and I didn't care, this was our moment and nothing was going to ruin it. 

"Dante, why did you leave?" He asked me. Shit, how do I answer? 

"We always planned on leaving I just did it" I responded, plz don't ask any more questions. 

"Yea but we said after high school we would meet here and leave together, you left after the party," He said. I looked down. I feel bad for leaving him. So what if he kissed Katelyn. 

"I couldn't wait" I felt bad, I was acting cold to him. 

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't kiss Nicole?" Stop asking me questions, Travis. I looked at him this time, he looked so hurt. 

"I ran after you Travis, I followed you into the house, You were kissing Katelyn. We both got girls nothing more needed to be said" I explained. He noticed the hurt in my eyes. 

"You could have explained, I only kissed Katelyn for one reason" He exclaimed not really looking at me. 

"What do you mean by that Travis?" I asked he didn't reply. 

"Why didn't you keep in contact with me, with any of us, you left us for 5 years" He screamed, I looked at him, he looked to be struggling and was close to crying. 

"Hey, Travis are you okay?" I asked moving closer to him. He stood up. 

"No I'm not okay Dante, I hate you for leaving, I hate myself for letting you go but I also can't hate you because Dante I love you, I have loved you since the first time we met and I was going to tell you at the party before I saw you and Nicole and I only kissed Katelyn to make you feel hurt" He yelled running off in tears. I sat there shocked. I've never seen Travis yell before but what he said. He loves me?! I jumped up and ran in the direction Travis went, he was gone, Damn if only I knew this town as much as him. I ran around the park and ran into a woman. She had brown hair and beautiful friendly eyes. She looked to be really nice, she was walking her dog. 

"I'm so sorry Miss," I said, helping her up. 

"It's okay, that's twice in 5 minutes" She laughed. 

"Did that other person possibly be a man with white hair?" I asked she smiled and nodded. 

"Yep are you the reason he was crying?" She asked me, her dog barked. 

"Sadly yes, he kinda snapped and told me he loves me and I had no idea I need to tell him I feel the same way" I explained, her smile grew. 

"ah don't you just love young love, He went that way" She pointed left of us. I thanked her and went off running. I need to find Travis and explain. This could be the one shot I needed to finally be with the man of my dreams. 

~Travis P.O.V~

I can't believe I just confessed to Dante. When I finished I was so embarrassed that I ran away crying. I can't ever face him after that. He probably thinks I'm weird and hates me. Why did I have to be so stupid and tell him? I ran out of the park but ran into a girl with a cute little puppy with her. I knocked her down and helped her get up. 

"I am so so so sorry," I said, she giggled. 

"It's fine, hey why are you crying?" She asked me, I blushed. 

"I just confessed to my crush and ran away, he probably hates me now" I explained. 

"I don't think he does. if he's really your friend he would never hate you" She comforted. 

"Maybe you are right, I don't know, again I'm sorry for hitting you," I said, she shook her head. 

"It's fine, I got to talk to an amazing person," She said, I smiled. 

"Well I'm gonna go before he catches up, I can't face him right now," I said, she nodded and I ran off. She was a really nice stranger. I ran out of the park and to my house, I can't deal with seeing Dante right now. I can't get rejected right now. I locked my door and went to dial Katelyn number. 

"Travis? what's up?" She asked she heard me sob. 

"Katelyn I kinda accidentally told Dante of my feelings" I explained. 

"Did he reject you?" She asked worriedly. 

"No, I ran away before he could reply and locked myself in my house" I explain, she sighed. 

"Travis you will never know if he likes you back if you don't talk to him, go back and talk," She said, I groaned. 

"I'll drag you over there if you don't" She threatened. 

"Sometimes I hate you," I said getting up and getting dressed. 

"You'll thank me later" I hung up the phone and went to open my door. I walked out and ran into Dante, he was about to knock. 

"Hi Dante," I said, he looked at me and smashed his lips to mine, I was shocked. My eyes widened and I didn't kiss back at first. He was about to pull away when I smashed my lips back to his. His lips were so soft next to mine, I couldn't believe I was kissing Dante, this is everything I've wanted for 9 years. We pulled away too soon for my liking. 

"Travis, I have liked you since we met in freshman year at Aphmau's party, every time we would hang out and practice picking up girls all I ever wanted was you. I left town after seeing you with Katelyn because I thought I had lost you to her, all I've wanted for the last 5 years was to be with you and if it wasn't for Nicole I would have told you I loved you that night also, that's what I was thinking about outside that night" He confessed. A huge smile enveloped my lips. 

"You have no idea how long I've wanted this to happen," I said, he chuckled. 

"I love you, Travis," He said, I giggled. 

"I love you too Dante" I was happy, I've never been this happy in my life. It took us 5 years to confess and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

"Wanna come inside?" I asked him, he nodded and we walked into my house. This is the best day of my life. 

Guess what it's already long and they are happy so next one will be the smut, yes I decided to write one more, happy. The characters are happy and I am too, I had a conversation with someone really special to me and knowing that she reads my books made me feel better.
