"Have you ever asked someone out, Ryan?" I asked my bestfriend, who was sitting right next to me on my basement couch. I already knew the answer was yes.
"Yeah," he said tugging at his nose ring. "Do you want me to teach you how?" He looked at me with his beautiful blue eyes.
I nodded as I realized what was happening, he was going to ask me out by teaching me.
"So first," he said as he got up and offered me a hand to pull me up from the couch. I grabbed his hand, which made electricity zoom through me, and he pulled me up. "You have to stay close to each other, and act like you don't notice how close you are with the other person." He slowly inched closer to me, which made me feel like throwing up.
"Then you put your hand really close to theirs." His hand brushed up against mine. I finally felt my face blushing. I secretly hoped he hadn't noticed.
"Then just ask them." He quickly said, not moving for 30 seconds which felt like an hour.
I couldn't believe I was going to do this.
I inched even closer to Ryan, which made my body push up against his. I grabbed his hand.
"Brayden." He whispered as he locked our eye contact.
"Ryan, will you go out with me?" I said as putting my nose up against his.
"Yes." He said smoothly. I closed my eyes as I put my lips on his.
