💚I Know Who You Are (A GracieBarley Love Story)💛

Barley Tells Gracie His Feelings/Sent Back To New York/🎵Lean On Me🎵

The next morning, Fluttershy and a bathrobe covered Gracie were talking and hanging out in the living room with Blazey on Gracie's lap while Barley and Ian were in Barley's bedroom to discuss how Barley is going to tell Gracie his feeling towards her when he first saw her. 

"Ian, how will I tell Gracie my feelings? What if she doesn't accept my feelings towards her? She'll hate me for telling her my feelings." Barley said pacing back and forth. 

"Well, I told Fluttershy how I felt about her. Just do like how I told Fluttershy how I felt about her and I'm sure that Gracie will understand your feelings like how Fluttershy understood my feelings towards her." Ian said sitting in Barley's computer chair. 

"You were able to have the courage to tell Fluttershy your feelings, but me? I feel like I'm going to loose it if I tell Gracie my feelings towards her." Barley said running his hands through his hair. 

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! 

Three brief knocks were heard on Barley's bedroom door and Ian stood up to open the bedroom door to see who was there. 

As Ian opened the bedroom door, Gracie was standing there in her new dress and had a basket of clean laundry in her hands. 

"Hey, Ian, Laurel told me to help you with the clean laundry while my clothes are in with the last load of laundry. If you want me to help you since Fluttershy is helping Laurel with a mixture of breakfast and lunch." Gracie said as Ian gestured Gracie to come in. 

Barley blushed lightly at Gracie wearing her new outfit from yesterday and smiled softly as Gracie and Ian sat down on Barley's bed and started to fold laundry. 

Ian glanced at Barley who was blushing lightly and glanced at Gracie who was too focused in folding the clean laundry while smiling softly. 

"I'll be back. I'm going to get the three of us three cans of Pepsi." Ian said placing a clean shirt back into the laundry basket that was between him and Gracie as he got up and went out of Barley's bedroom to the kitchen to get three cans of Pepsi. 

Barley looked at Gracie, looked at the floor of his bedroom, and then looked back at Gracie after Ian went to the kitchen. 

"Hey, Gracie, I need something to tell you." Barley said walking over to his bed and sat down. 

"Sure." Gracie said still folding other clothes. 

"I like you." Barley said shutting his eyes tight as he waited to be rejected. 

"As a friend? Thanks, Barley." Gracie said looked at Barley and smiling at him as she placed the folded shirt onto Barley's bed.

Barley sighed at how hard it was for Gracie to understand his feelings towards her.

"No, Gracie, I like-LIKE you. Not as a friend." Barley said taking Gracie's hands into his hands as his hazel eyes looked into Gracie's brown eyes.

Gracie was surprised and happy about Barley telling her his feelings.

"Barley, I don't know what to say-WHOA!" Gracie said getting pulled off from where she was sitting on Barley's bed.

Suddenly, Barley brought Gracie in for a kiss in a finished dancing pose. 

Barley then moved his face away just in time to see Gracie with a star-struck look on her face and he eventually dropped Gracie onto the floor of his bedroom from the shock he had for kissing Gracie without thinking it.

(Author's Note: I would make this star-struck look like Rose Quartz's star-struck look when she and Greg kiss after Greg attempt to fuse with Rose Quartz through dancing.)
