Days rolled by and some sort of understanding developed between me and you.

Whenever any one of us was down, the other one would automatically know it. Even through texts. It was beautiful, really.

"Why are you reading this cheesy novel?" You spoke up as you plopped on the chair next to mine.

"Shh, it's a library." I whispered, putting my book down. "And I am reading this book because I like reading about two fictional characters in love."

"Ah, didn't you like tragic stories?"

"One can love both."

"Are you a hopeless romantic, huh?" You smirked, nudging my arm slightly.

I laughed quietly, pointing at a couple a few tables away from us. "Do you see that couple?"

"Yes, that guy with the ridiculous hairstyle and the girl with overly bright clothes?"

"Yes. I played cupid for them. I was the first friend of that girl."

"You playing Cupid, hm, I can envision that, actually."

"I know, I like matching people and giving them a chance for some happy time together."

You stayed quiet for a long time, your fingers drumming lightly on the table.

"It's a lovely thought. You're lovely." You smiled at me, picking my book up.

"Do you think love is selfish?" I asked, taking a bite of my subway cookie.

You snatched the cookie from me and took a bite of it.

"I think love is selfless. You can do anything for them, you can even leave them if that's where their happiness lies. Like Will left Stella so that Stella didn't have to see him dying and go through the pain of seeing Will's time running out."

I nodded in understanding, processing your words in mind, as I clutched my bag tightly.

"I think love is selfish." I said as I felt your eyes snap to me.

"How so?"

"I think love is selfish. You love someone so much that even the though of hurting them in any way kills you from inside. Hypothetically, if you love someone, and they love someone else, you will let the person you love to love someone else because seeing your loved one happy makes you happy. Will left Stella because it would kill Will from inside to see the pain Stella would have gone through to see Will's time running out."

We stayed quiet for a long time, your fingers resting on the table quietly.

And then you caught a lock of hair that was falling on my face, tucking it behind my ear, speaking up,"You amuse me."

"Well, it's in my nature." I grinned.

You shook your head, a small smile playing on your lips.

"Cupcakes?"

"Cupcakes."
