chase wanted to tell noen he loved him,
it was only until charli had tediously
made him promise her that he'd tell him.

besides he knew if he didn't do this
charli would bring it up at every
moment possible, something
along the lines of , "yeah you could've
had true love, too bad you didn't
tell noen how you feel and now
you're gonna die alone."— not
that she was wrong though.

so while he watched some
crappy movie with noen, he
fidgeted with his hands trying
to figure out how the words he'd
been so anxious to say would fit
into reality. glancing next to himself
was someone who he thought
shouldn't need to think about
anything at all.

everything noen did seemed so
simple yet beautifully done,
the way he laughed so softly
at certain scenes, the way
his eyes could light up
your day on command.
it all felt right to him.

"i really missed this." is
all chase could say, it was a
start at the very least.

"missed me? or watching
low-budget movies?" noen
said, trying not to laugh
himself but alas failing.

he gave a weak punch
in noen's arm, "dummy.
of course i meant you."

"yeah, i'm really glad.
we were much better
off as friends anyways."
noen's words felt cold
on chase's ears.

"yeah. friends.." he
quickly turned back
to the movie before
noen could notice
any signs of
disappointment
on his face.

friends.
