♡~Garrence One Shots~♡

Just Friends

(A/N Here we go... Another lyric one shot. This one is a little different... The scene will happen first and then lyric will come after it. Enjoy~)

    I let out a long sigh as I ran my fingers through my hair. Come on, Laurence... You can do this. Besides, if he rejects you it's not like you're gonna see him anytime soon. You live in a completely different continent. It'll be fine.

    I brought my thumbs to the keyboard and began to type, choosing my words very, very carefully.

Chat between you and: GayrothIsMyName

You: Hey Gar! There's something I want to tell you. Do you have some time to talk?

    There was no response for awhile, and my anxiety was only growing more and more each second. Suddenly, my computer chimed.

GayrothIsMyName: Of course! What is it you need to tell me?

    I took a deep breath in and out before placing my hands back on the keyboard. I typed slower this time, being careful not to make any spelling mistakes. This needed to be the perfect confession... I wasn't gonna let auto-correct screw it up.

You: I know this is probably going to be really, really awkward for you, but it's something I've wanted to get off my chest for a long time... Although I haven't met you in real life, you've changed my life in so many positive ways. Before I started talking to you, my life was a wreck. Everyone at my school teased me for being an orphan, and sometimes I was physically hurt by a certain kid. My home life wasn't so great, either... Talking to you has made me so much happier... You're the most understanding person I know. You're sweet, you're funny, you're always there for me to talk to... I feel like you genuinely listen to me. I guess what I'm saying is... I really, really like you, Garroth...

Sent

    I let out a long breath and sunk into my seat. I tugged at my hair, and my heart was pounding out of my chest as I waited in anticipation for his answer. Would he say he liked me back or just flat out reject me..? Would he leave me on read and never reply? Oh my Irene, I just ruined our entire relationship didn't I..?

    After what felt like years of waiting, my computer let out a familiar chime. I snapped my eyes to the computer screen and began to read over the message he had sent me.

GayrothIsMyName: It's not awkward at all, Laurence. In fact I really like you too... It's just... I got out of a breakup very recently, and I don't think I'm quite ready to get in a relationship yet... I need a bit of time to heal first, you know..? I think we should stay just friends for a bit. When I'm ready I'll tell you... I'm sorry.

    I smiled and began to type back.

You: I completely understand! You don't have to worry! I'll be here waiting for you. Just, tell me when you're okay with it. I'd really like to give us a try. :)

Not ready, I get it. Don't want complications. You gotta focus on yourself.

You: Hey, Garroth! Been awhile since we've talked. You up for a game of Mario Kart?

GayrothIsMyName: I'm sorry Laur, but I can't at the moment. I'm kind of going through things right now...

You: Oh, okay. You wanna talk about it?

GayrothIsMyName: It's just... Recently I've been feeling things towards a close friend of mine. I'm sorry about this, but I think my feelings towards them are more serious than the ones towards you... I'm so sorry, Laurence. I still need more time to think about it.
