"Seems like ... I should help Ziu... I'm sorry Ayno", you said slightly embarrassed, thinking of the good time you both had spent together, but you had made a decision and you will surely stick with it. Ayno just nodded, not saying anything regarding it, yet you knew it was a hard pillow for him to swallow. After all, this was the second time the schools most popular boy has been rejected.
When the silence got awkward Ziu took your hand and guided you to the parking lot. You giggled a bit when you remembered the first day when you came here, Ziu did a similar thing. Intertwining your fingers, you walked a bit faster, matching his pace and took a good glance of your best friends side profile. He surely was handsome, but this was really nothing you hadn't known.
"I love you."
The simple statement made Ziu trip over nonexistent stones on the ground and turning his head rapidly, to the point where you asked yourself if his joint were still functioning, giving you one of the most wide-eyed shocked expression you had seen from him so far. His fingers started pointing, pending between your body and his, while he was stuttering trying to get a word out. You just giggled and dragged him further towards the cars.
"You? I- ... ME? L-l-l-LOve?"
With a pout, you nodded, looking straight forward, not even daring to glance back at his face, knowing that you didn't really look your best being as red as a tomato. But before you could take another step, Ziu stopped and dragged you so you were now fully facing him. "You aren't joking?"
"Ziu, would I be here with you if I hadn't made a decision?"
"Well, I mean, we are best friends and like maybe you would feel more comfortable with me, you know, I..."
"I love you", you said once again, with a big smile, knowing it would shut him up for good. There was really no need for you to get an answer since he confessed just earlier this week, but if we would be honest, you somehow knew all along that Ziu shared the crush you had on him. So at that moment, you leaned forward and pressed your icy lips against him, feeling him shiver, from either the weather or the emotional rush, you didn't really care, you just enjoyed how his lips moved back against yours and took you into an embrace.
After that, you took the supplies from the car and headed back, hanging the remaining decorations on the outside of the cabin. Inside, the other boys had already prepared everything they had needed to celebrate Christmas and so the day was spent sharing egg-nog and watching old Christmas movies. You and Ziu went back to college and lived your life happily as a couple, till the end of your days.
