A Millennial's Guide to Romance

daydream - six days part one

The first day will forever be the hardest. You have talked to them so many times before, but this time it's different. They're actually here. You think it over too many times in your head, a one liner that would flow naturally via text manages to tumble from your lips in a barely audible quip that they ignore. Finally, after battling with yourself, you work up the courage to say something that makes the two of you realise that everything is just right.  You're in sync with each other, sitting beside each other without invitations, you communicate jokes with the quick flicker of you eyes. You find each other with smiles spreading across your lips knowing the other is thinking the exact same thing. As the end of the day comes, you can't help the nagging thought in your mind that it won't be the same when you wake up.

But it never is. The second day, is when you have to work. All that progress you made yesterday is all but gone, you've got a clean slate. That little spark is still there but the small flame you had building is dwindling to a mere flicker of light. So you try, and you try, and you try. Then, there's a breakthrough. You sit down to do something with everyone, and slowly, one by one, the others leave until it's just the two of you, across from each other. Not necessarily talking, but enjoying each other's presence. Then comes the event that will determine the fate of the rest of the time you spend together. You sit right next to each other, there's playful banter between the two of you and you know right then and there that there is something going on. But you're not sure yet. This event continues, and you get closer and closer with every second. There's a fun push and shove between you, you know people can see the happiness in your eyes and you wonder if they can see the connection like you can feel it. Eventually, you work up the courage to ask them something. 

"Watch a movie with me?"

And so it begins. You know nothing will come of this at first, but if you play your cards right, your nothing could turn out to be everything. So you end the second night with the reassurance that there'll be something to wake up to the next morning. 

The third day is so exciting. Everything changes. You venture into land you would have only hoped for before. The day isn't overly exciting, but when night falls, under the cloak of the everlasting darkness, your connection grows stronger. It starts as you expect. 

"Finish the movie?"

You know it's one of their favourites. They wouldn't be sacrificing time with others to watch just any movie. You inch toward each other, tentative, apprehensive, but longing for their touch. The moment your skin touches each other, your heart begins pounding, your stomach swarms with butterflies and a fire lights itself within your body and happiness settles within your soul. You cannot express the utter joy you feel within yourself when they move even closer, testing the boundaries you had long since forgotten. So you fall asleep in the arms of someone you never thought you would, and you know within yourself that nothing will ever feel the same for you. 

Because you think you just fell in love. 

A/ N :

i would just like to take the time to say that this little two-shot thing is quite personal and means a lot to me. and i'll be honest, i got a little screwed up because of this but i guess that's life huh.

slightly edited as of June 15th, I fixed up the first paragraph and if i find any more extreme problems, i'll come back through and fix them 

i also added capitals because i'm less angsty about this now
