Your POV

"Alright I have the pizza, let's get this movie started!" I said as I collapsed onto the makeshift bed of cushions Shawn and I made. 

Shawn, my best friend since diapers, came into the room and sat down next to me, "Ok I have the popcorn and the chocolate are we forgetting something?"

"The drinks!" I said as I opened the chocolate.

"Alright I'll be right back" Shawn got up and left the room.

Tonight's the night, the night I confess my feelings to Shawn.

Here's the deal, Shawn and I have been bestfriends for as long as I can remember, our mums went to high school together and they have been bestfriends ever since. When they both found out they were pregnant they were over the moon, their babies would grow up and be bestfriends too. But you see I guess when you spend quiet a lot of time with a guy, a really cute guy, you start to develop feelings and these feelings grow in to love. Yep ladies and gentlemen that's right! I am in love with my bestfriend. There I said it! I have been in love with Shawn since forever, he's always been there for me and always protected me from anything that could possibly hurt me, I guess just all the little things he's done for me over the many years of friendship we've shared just built up and turned into love.

But here is where things get complicated, I don't know if he likes me like that, I mean I have always had this hunch that he does but then again it's probably nothing because he probably only sees me as a bestfriend and nothing more. 

I've decided that I will tell him tonight about how I feel. The only reason why I'm telling him is because tonight is the last night we're going to have a movie night because he leaves for this Magcon tour tomorrow and he'll be gone for a really long time. So, I guess by telling him at such short notice if he doesn't like me back in that way then he can go on tour and that would give me time to sort out my feelings for him. Then when he gets back things can just go back to normal and I can say that I was just confused and I only love him as a brother you know? And if he does like me back? Well, I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

"Alright I am back and we can officially start our Harry Potter movie night marathon" He grabbed the remote and pressed play, the intro song for Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone started playing.

Half way into the movie he paused it and turned to me, "Y/n is there something bothering you?" he looked at me with concern and curiosity.

"No, why would you say that?" I scoffed.

"Well, you just keep fidgeting with your sweater and you're not really paying attention to anything you seem to be lost in your own thoughts" 

"Whatttt, pshhhh, I am so paying attention" he looked at me and smirked.

"Oh yeah well then what did I ask you before?" he raised one eyebrow expectantly.

"I um, well I ugh you caught me. I wasn't paying attention, there I said it happy?" I crossed my arms and chewed my bottom lip nervously.

"You know you can tell me anything right? I mean we are bestfriends after all" he smiled half heartedly at me.

He said it, that word. Bestfriends.

'Well, um" I took in a deep breathe and looked him in the eyes, it's now or never.

 "I love you Shawn" he looked at me as if he was expecting something more.

"I love you too y/n, was that really what was bothering you?" he asked me.

"No, I love you Shawn. I am in love with you as in more than bestfriends" I told him waiting for his reaction.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breathe looking frustrated.

Oh god. He doesn't feel the same.

My heart shattered into a million pieces, my eyes teared up.

"Um, sorry I shouldn't have said that. Um I'll just go" I went to stand up and leave but he grabbed my hand stopping me from leaving.

"No, it's not that. I am in love with you too y/n. It's just that I wanted to be the first one to say it" he smiled at me sheepishly.

"What? Wait, you mean to tell me that you feel the same way?" I asked him my heart beating faster by the second.

"Yes" my heart seemed to stop working at that one word, "I have been in love with you since we were 12, remember when I broke my arm and you took care of me, you waited on me hand and foot?" I nodded my head remembering like it was yesterday.

"Well, when you were taking care of me and you helped me at school when those bullies came up to us and pushed me over and threw my crutches across the playground, you went up to the bully and punched him in the nose, breaking it in the process" he laughed at the memory as did I. 

"How could I forget, I got suspended from school for 2 weeks" we both laughed together.

"Well yeah I guess it was in that moment, when you stood up to the bully and punched him in the face, that moment was when I fell in love with you. I just remember thinking wow what a punch, that's my girl and then my brain going crazy over the fact that I called you my girl, I guess I just realised then how amazing you are and then the rest is history, we grew up and I fell more in love with you as time went on" Shawn grabbed my hands and put them on his chest above his heart.

"Do you feel that? My heart is beating super fast because of you. My heart...it beats for you" Shawn cupped my cheek and looked me in the eyes, slowly closing my eyes we leaned in. 

My lips met his, in a sweet and soft kiss. And I swear I thought I felt the world spinning. It was perfect, I felt like I was on fire, my whole body felt like it was on fire. This energy, this feeling that coursed through my entire body the moment our lips met felt magical. It was like our lips were the matching puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. All too soon he pulled apart, and rested his forehead on mine. Opening my eyes, I looked into his brown ones and smiled, my cheeks heating up.

"Wow" he said breathlessly, I nodded my head.

"Wow indeed" we both couldn't stop smiling, "I love you"

"I love you too y/n" Shawn went in for another kiss, this one just as perfect as the first.

Everything was just perfect.
