Ben and I are sitting on his bed - when are we not? - and he has wrapped his arm around me. I will never get enough of this.
God, I really love him. I've been thinking that for a while now, but I've never said it out loud. I don't know why. I guess I'm a bit scared. What if he doesn't love me back?
I should tell him. It's gonna blurt out at the most random moment if I don't tell him now.
"Ben?" I say and he mumbles. "I know it's early to say, but it's not really, 'cause we've known each other our whole lives and I've felt this for a long time, but anyway I wanted to tell you that uhm- that-"
"I love you too." Ben interrupts me.
"You do?" I say and look at him.
"Of course I do. How could I not love you?"
"You know, I may haven't always been in love with you, but I've loved you my whole life." I say and Ben gently cups my face. He kisses me and pulls me into a hug.
We lay down against some pillows and I snuggle against him.
"We're a kind of a living cliché now that I think about it." I say.
"Why's that?" Ben asks.
"We've been best friends our whole lives plus you're the boy next door. The only thing that isn't cliché is that we're both guys."
"A cliché with a gay twist then." He says.
"I love being a cliché with you." I say, smiling. "I love you, Big Ben."
"I love you too, Tommy."
Welp that's it fellas
I hope you guys liked it :)
