Brad was not having a great day. It wasn't going his way. He likes it when his days go the way he wants it, but today was not a day like that. His alarm clock didn't woke him up, forgot his cash at home, and lost his coat.

He was having a terrible day. All he wanted to do was go back home and sleep all day to forget what's happened today. Maybe he'll wake up and have a better day.

That's all he asks for.

He was walking to his car when a group of teenagers appeared on his way.

"Hey! Uhm... We're making a video for our YouTube channel. You wanna give us a hand? More like doing an appearance?" A blond boy asked him kindly.

"I have no time. Ask someone else." Brad said as he walked out of their way.

"No, wait." The boy said while chasing after Brad.

"What?!"

"Come on, bud. It's just a question. Please?"

"I'm not sure."

"Please. We're not having a really good day and we hope you could help us out. Please?"

Brad looked at his watch to see that he still had time before going back home.

"Alright. What's your video about?"

"Okay, so... it's about your crush. We ask you what is it like to be in love with someone that might be out of your limit. And you give us your opinion on having a crush. Also, you have to call your crush and tell them that you love them."

"Hold on. I have to call my crush and confess my feelings?"

"If you agree, of course. Also, you gotta ask them out on a date."

"I'm gonna regret this, but... I will do it."

"Thanks, man."

-

"So, introduce yourself a little bit." The blond guy said.

"Alright. I'm Brad, and I'm 22. I go to college and also have a job as a gallery assistant. I love music, I play many instruments."

"Now, tell us, Brad... do you have a crush on someone?"

"Yeah, I do have a crush."

"And would you like to tell us what is it like to be in love with someone secretly? Share your opinion."

"Well, what can I say? Being in love with someone I consider my friend is... I don't know. I just look at him and have this feeling in my stomach, I feel like I'm gonna faint at any time. I've never looked at someone the way I look at him. He is the nicest person I've met in my life, he's a caring, loving, kind... just an amazing person. I don't like him because of his look, I like him because of his personality. That's what I like about him, his personality."

"That's so sweet!" A girl made him feel nervous.

"No, stop it. Stop it. I'm blushing so hard."

"Alright, alright. Now, are you ready to call him and tell him that you love him?"

"I never felt this nervous before, but I'm ready."

It took less than a minute for Connor to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Uhm, hi. It's Brad."

"Yeah, I know. I saw your name on the screen."

"Yeah, right. I was... wondering if you're busy."

"No, I'm not."

"Well, this is getting worse. My hands are shaking and sweating. It's getting hot in here."

"But it's a cloudy day. How's that possible?"

"I'm just gonna say it."

"What is it?"

"The reason I called you was because... I have something to tell you. I... I know we haven't met for a long time but I wanted to tell you this... I've kept it to myself for so long and you never knew about it, but... I wanna tell you that... that you... you make my heart skip every time I look at you, and it's the actions that make me fall in love with you. You make my day feel alright, you make my sun shine every day, you amaze me every day, you make my life brighter, you're the sun when my day is dark, you just change it by looking at me. You look at me and I look away because I'm dying inside of your cuteness. It feels like love and that's good as long as I got you by my side, but I really don't know if you actually look at me the way I look at you. I... I have a... a crush on you."

It went silent for at least five seconds. Connor was processing what he just heard. He didn't know how to react.

"Really?" Finally, Connor said something.

"Y-Yeah. I-I-I... I love you."

"Are you serious, mate?"

"Completely."

"I love you, too. You don't know how much I love you. I was paralysed when I saw you and you didn't even know that. And I thought you'd never like me back. I tried to make a move, but I wasn't sure if you actually were into me. Wait... are you crying, little bear?" Connor asked as he heard Brad sobbing.

"I am. It's just... I didn't know you felt the same way." Brad said while wiping his tears away.

"Believe it 'cause I do. I'll call you later, alright?"

"No, wait. I... I was wondering if you wanna go out someday this week. Maybe wanna go to the films? Somewhere else? Go get ice cream?"

"Are you asking me out?"

"Yeah. I'm asking you out."

"Okay. I'll go on a date with you."

"Really?"

"Really. See you later, B."

"See you."

-

After having a bad day, it turned out to be the best day of his life. Brad finally got to tell Connor how he really feels. He felt better after saying those words to Connor.

Obviously, later that day, he thanked the guys who asked for his help with the video. He never thought a couple guys would make his day get better.
