thanks mom ~ [ jawsh ]

josh and i have been the best of friends since childhood, birth even. you see, our moms were best friends in high school, and continued to be close in adulthood; which led them to making josh and i best friends when we were born.

at first, we fought.. a ton. we weren't very fond of each other, but we knew we were still gonna be closer than anyone could ever be. though when we grew up, and puberty passed, i realized soon enough that i actually had quite of a liking for the guy. i realized that i never wanted to leave his side, nor did i wanna be just best friends with him. he meant the world to be and he'll always have a special place in my heart. i just want him to know that.. but not in a friend way; and i wish he felt the same for me.

today, my mom and i decided to go shopping. she needed to stock up on some groceries and i honestly just needed to get out of the house, i felt like i was gonna suffocate in there. 

we were currently in the fruit section, looking at the prices for the strawberries.

"hey, how about you go get whatever cereal you'd like?" she asked.

i smiled in response, skipping away like a little kid, earning a few giggles from strangers that i passed by. when i walked in the cereal aisle, i saw josh's mom placing a Lucky Charms box in her cart.

she looks in my direction and smiles, "oh hey y/n! how are you?"

we have small conversation before i ask about josh. "so how's josh?" even though i talk to him everyday, it's not bad to ask about him.. right? "oh he's good, he's actually at home streaming right now."

"of course he his, what else would he be doing?" we laugh. "you really need to come by again, he's not really the same without you."

"what do you mean?" i ask. was something wrong?

"you know how he is at home, normally he's stuck away in his room doing whatever; and when he comes down, he doesn't usually have the same energy he has when he's with you. trust me, you make him different when you're around, you make him feel special."

i playfully scoff, "pfff, i don't think so." 

she shakes her head, "oh cmon, you wanna know how i know?" i nod. "he told me." 

my heart races. i try to calm down whatever's going on with my heart and let her proceed.

"y/n, you need to understand that he loves you. he really does, and i know you do too. i see the way you both look at each other, how long you guys hug when you see each other, even if you were together the day before.. you both may not know it, but you're perfect for each other."

i stand there in shock, though i'm still in a pit of worry, "are you sure he really likes me like that? i mean maybe he didn't mean it or maybe you took it the wrong way-"

"like i said, he was the one who told me.. so many times." she cuts me off. "honey, you need to tell him how you feel. trust me, it'll be worth it."

i was honestly speechless, "wow.." at that moment my mom comes into the aisle.

"oh hey! i was starting to get worried, i thought you got kidnapped or something." we all laugh, the two making conversation soon after. "well, it was nice seeing you, but hey, we'll see you tonight, yeah? i made a great dinner and it'd be nice for you guys to come over!" josh's mom offers. of course, we accepted, agreeing that we'd arrive around 8.

- time skip -

it was finally almost 8 and i was getting in the car. on our way there, i was thinking if i should tell josh how i really felt. of course, i thought it was a crazy idea, but i thought about what his mom said earlier. was it true? but then again, why would she lie to me about something like that for no apparent reason? soon after, my thoughts were interrupted by the car turning off, signaling that we arrived.

once we walked in, i pulled josh's mom aside. "so, i was thinking of what you said and i think i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna tell josh that i have feelings for him." she got excited and told me he was in his room.

i went upstairs and was on my way to his room, noticing that my heart was racing very quickly. "jesus, calm down!" i whisper to myself. i knock on his door, before fully opening it. i walk into his room and i see him brushing his hair in the mirror. he sees me through the mirror and smiles, "oh hey y/n/n!" 

as i'm looking at him, my heart skips a beat. seeming him just made me fall for him even more. i think it's safe to say that i really do love josh. i realized that i couldn't hold the secret in any longer, i needed to tell him now. though instead of talking, i decided to do something else.

when he turns around and asks how my day was, i close the door and immediately walk to him, pulling his body towards mine. i cup his face and kiss him, not caring about anything anymore. he stands there in shock, dropping his brush in the process. after realizing what was happening, he finally wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me back with the same passion.

we mutually break away, breathing heavily. i open my eyes to see him smiling. he picks me up, wrapping my legs around his waist and spins, making me laugh a ton as he smiles against my shoulder.

slowly, he stops and looks at me in the eyes, still carrying me. a small smile was still plastered on my face as i run my hand through his hair. he leans in and kisses me, making sure it contained a lot more meaning than the previous kiss. i lean my forehead on his once we pull away, caressing his cheek.

"i love you." josh whispers.

"i love you too."
