We were in my house at the moment, with me sprawled on the couch sporting a pair of sweatpants and baggy shirt. I was planning on a lazy Saturday until my best friend came and ruined it. He was currently walking around in circles in the living room, making me extremely dizzy due to the fact that he was right in front of me.
"That's it. I've had enough! What do you want to do?" I gave up. He's been asking me to do something or just simply hang out because he was bored and couldn't take it anymore.
The frown plastered on his face quickly changed into a goofy grin that was sent to me, "I don't know we could always go to the mall you know? That's where we saw each other again, right? I don't really know" he shrugged.
Since the day Calum and I found out we were the long lost best friends we became surprisingly really close immediately. We hung out a lot and made fun of each other. It almost made me feel real guilty of myself for making him very distant to other people. The fact that Calum was a nice guy but was isolated from other people kept me thinking all the time. He was missing out on so much in life. Or the world was missing out on such a great and sweet guy like him. I finally stood up and made my way up to my room, "I'll let you think about that first, I'll go get changed"

Cal decided we walk to the beach, it wasn't that far after all we were quite near to it. He laced his fingers with mine taking me by surprise. I felt myself tense up a bit so i kept biting my bottom lip, chewing it at the process. I'm so weird I thought to myself. Finally I tasted blood so I stopped, feeling a stinging pain on my lip.
"You know Al," he started. I tilted my head up in a puppy manner to look up at him, "Its so weird we found each other despite the fact that we haven't seen each other for years and we lost contact and we live in such a huge planet."
I chuckled softly, "I know. Its amazing isn't it?" I answered, he nodded in reply and its moments like this that I had to admit that I did have a tinie-tiny crush on my best friend. That will remain a secret though. I don't want us to turn out like those cliché best friend to boyfriends thing, it never works out.
I could see the crashing waves from a far and got extremely excited to be reunited with the beach again. I wiggled out of Calum's grip then ran towards the waves taking off my shoes in the process. I sat on the pure white sand just far enough so I wouldn't get soaking wet, I just wanted my feet to feel the water. Not me.
I shadow covered the sunlight making me furrow my eyebrows together. It must be Calum. I looked up to see I was right. He was looking at me whilst shaking his head, "you look like a kid" he chuckled lowly.
I patted a place beside me for him to sit on, he laced our fingers together once again making me feel butterflies and fireworks, even though I believe that only happens when you kiss the guy, i don't know. I've never been in love, although I'm not in love with Calum. Right?
"Cal," I mumbled. He tilted his head to look at me, causing his chocolate brown irises to make eye contact with mine, "you still up for that break up thing?"
He let go of my hand and sent me one of his smirks, "I don't know, I quite like it"
Do you hear my heart? Yeah, me too it stopped beating. My stomach felt like it just did tons of flips that it made me want to hit my head on a wall multiple times. I felt my cheeks burn up, causing him to chuckle at my high school girl behavior. But being the dumbass i am, "Calum, best friends don't date each other."
"I was just kidding." He laughed. I knew it was fake though. I knew Calum all too well.
"Yeah, you were" I muttered under my breath, "Besides, you would've dated me anyways if you hadn't find out I was Calie-Palie" he teased.
Alright, yes I would have dated him. If he asked me out. Those were actually the days that I felt like I was little by little falling inside that deep hole of love for Calum.
"Fuck off!" I laughed, hitting him playfully on his arm. He folded his lips into a pout and stared back at me, "you hurt me" he cooed
"I hate you Calum"
-
We sat in silence for the rest of the time we were together. It wasn't an awkward silence though. We would either make fun of each other or simply bring up non-sense topics. He still held my hand in a protective manner making me feel safe.
"Calum, do you mean it?" I blurted out.
He gave me a puzzled look with his eyebrows furrowed together in confusion, "what do you mean, I mean?"
"You know, uh, what you said a little while ago?" I shifted my gaze to my fingers and played with them. I wasn't expecting nor hoping Calum to tell me he meant it but its worth a try anyway.
"I've said tons of things, Al" he chuckled. I can tell he was nervous too but I shrugged it off.
"When you said you liked acting as my boyfriend" I trailed off, "do you mean it?"
He froze for a bit but plastered a huge smile on his face after, "I do. I mean, its fun and all. It also helps because Steven actually avoids you now but its the last thing I would actually want to do. Best friends don't actually date each other" i hated myself for bringing that rule up. Man, I'm dumb.
"Oh" I answered, forming my lips into an 'o' shape making him shake his head.
I swear if Calum wasn't my best friend I would actually date him.
