The Boy Down The Street ✓

viii.

The sun shone down on Dev and I. We were laying on the bed of my beat up pick up truck at the beach. music played from Dev's Bluetooth speaker and we just laid in silence listening to music.

Dev had been acting odd the last few days. He would fiddle with the hem of his shirt and blush more, not that I mind but as I said, it was odd.

He either just started doing it, or I was just noticing it.

I breathed in the fresh ocean air and observed my surroundings. Dev's crutches rested against my car, the beach was relatively quiet on the side Dev and I were on and the blue sky was clear of clouds. All in all, the day was beautiful.

Not as beautiful as Dev though.

"Hey, Nick?" Dev's soft voice sounded in my ears. I turned my head to face him, he wasn't looking at me but rather the sky, "why are you even friends with me? I mean, I'm basically disabled, I can't do anything fun with you," He asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "I'm your friend because you're an awesome guy to be around. You're an all around lovable person, Dev. I don't care that there's some things you can't do. It doesn't affect how hood of a person you are."

He blushed a bright red, "R-really? You think that?" Of course I did. I nodded my head, smiled, and pulled him closer to me, "Why would I not?"

He pulled me closer to him and I swear my heart skipped a beat. It would've been so easy to just tell him about my feelings but It wasn't the right time.

I snuggled into his chest happily and inhaled his scent. Nick could make me so happy by just simply smiling that beautiful smile at me.
His smile wasn't the prettiest, no but even if no one else found him and his smile beautiful, I would.

He would always be beautiful to me.
