[BROLIN/MERTHUR] "tell me we weren't just friends." he begged, his bright-blue eyes growing glossy as tears filled them. there was a short and silent pause between the two, almost as if the blonde had been hesitating to voice his thoughts. then, he...
Bradley and I left Baristas not too soon after we talked about our families (him more-so) and finished our coffees. We pushed open the door and exited the shop, and I bid Alma farewell just before it shut completely. Bradley and I stood under the protection of the portico from the rain that resided just outside the door of Baristas.
We both turned towards each other and stood in a short, comfortable silence. Bradley was the first to speak. "I had a good time in there." I nodded in agreement, both of us smiling warmly and in content. "So did I."
Another silence ensued as the rain around us splashed against the pavement, it's droplets exploding into millions of particles to the ground, forming small puddles. I looked at Bradley, and began memorizing his features in the short amount of time I was allowed to; before he turned and caught my eye. "Something the matter?"
I felt my cheeks heat up, and I shook my head and looked to my shoes that were beginning to get wet. I heard Bradley release a soft chuckle from beside me, and I sneaked a glimpse of him from the corner of my eye. He was smiling and looking forward, and he seemed to have a content expression placated on his face.
"You know, Colin.." Bradley began, as if catching me a second time in my futile attempts of gazing upon him. "You're not that bad of a guy. I find it fun to hang around you. Maybe this could turn into.. a thing now."
"A thing?" I pondered, curious; my eyes glued to my shoes but my attention fixated on him.
"Yeah. A thing." He replied, obviously amused. I could hear the grin on his face as he said those words, which only made me smile in return.
"I guess this could turn into a thing, but oh how I wonder.. Who's to pay the bill?" I teased, a smirk appearing on my face. Bradley let out a hearty laugh and shoved my arm evermore so gently and playfully with his own while I snorted at my own joke.
"You're a prat, Colin."
