BOYFRIEND | takahashi ran

0. confession

    " i... i like you... ", confessed your best friend of seven years. his fringe covered his face while the remaining black hair danced in the wind.

the two of you were on the rooftop of your school. it was early evening and classes have ended but takahashi had told you that he wanted to talk to you about something important after school.

" i like you too! you're my best friend! " you tried to relieve the tense atmosphere between the both of you despite the fact that your heart was racing 5000 miles an hour.

takahashi looked up to meet your eyes. his own as deep as the pacific ocean and as black as the midnight sky. " no i mean... i like you... as more than just a friend. " a brilliant shade of red appearing on his cheeks, creeping up to his ears. you can't tell if it's from the evening wind or from the situation the both of you were in.

...

silence filled the air as the both of you stared at each other. you can hardly believe a word he said.

" hey takahashi! this is not something you can joke about! " you laughed as you gently slapped the side of his shoulder, " lets go back in, it's cold here. "

takahashi falling for his best friend of seven years sounded too good to be true... at least that's what you always thought. there were many nights where you thought to yourself what it would be like to date him, only for you to laugh it off.

he is devilishly handsome and talented. why would he ever fall for me? he probably sees me as a younger sister.

that's what you used to think to yourself.

" y/n... im being serious... i have felt this way since we were kids. it's okay if you don't return my feelings... i would understand, " takahashi looked down, disappointment getting to him.

" takahashi... " you couldn't stand the sight of your best friend looking so gloomy. making your way towards him, you closed the distance between your bodies, wrapping your arm around his torso, looking up to him. instinctively, he snakes one arm around you too while the other strokes your head. you smiled at him. both your faces were flushed red.

you brought one hand up to cup his cheek as you tip toed to whisper to him, " i like you too... "

takahashi's eyes widened comically as you pulled away his face.

" you're joking. "

" no... unless you are. "

takahashi lets an eye-smile escape. you swore you saw crystal droplets forming next to his pretty eyes. this was the most genuine you had seen him smile. it was like a rainbow in a thick grey fog of clouds.

he pressed your head against his chest as he secretly dried his watery eyes.

" don't cry you big softy, " your voice was muffled.

" 'm not crying, don't think so far. "

" yeah right, boyfriend. "

that's it. even more tears threatened to escape his eyes. he was even sniffling now.

" must be the wind. "

you raised a brow.

" takahashi... " you cupped his face, drying his tears with your thumb. his arms still tightly secured around your waist. " why are you crying, " you let out a light chuckle.

" im... just so... happy... i have liked you for the longest time ever and now that i get to call you mine... " his black orbs glistened.

now it's your turn to cry. letting the fact that both of your feelings have been the same from the start sink in, that both your hearts have always been beating as one.

that day you went home with red eyes and a happy heart. still refusing to believe what had just happened, you whipped out your phone to text him, only to see him text you first.
