Prompt: "Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?"
Couple: Callum Ilott and Marcus Armstrong
(Callum Pov)
"Callum, you have to get him to stop," I couldn't help but frown as Christian looked at me with pleading eyes.
"I don't really know how I can help with that, I mean, it's not like he's saying these things to my face." Christian let out a sigh, clearly unhappy with my answer.
"I'm team Christian here, man. Marcus has gone insane. He just stopped me on my way here. He spent the whole time talking about how pretty your eyes, 'But Guanyu, have you seen his eyes? It's like looking into 2 diamonds. Every time I look, I get worried I might get lost and never return,'" I shook my head at my teammate's poor impression of my best friend. "Might I add this went on for a good 20 minutes. I can't take it anymore."
"I'm backing them!" A mechanic shouted from the other side of the garage, "He wouldn't shut up about how much he just wanted to run his hand through your hair."
"Guys, look, I'd love to do something, especially since he's even bugging UNI-Virtuosi mechanics now, but I really don't think it would change anything," Plus, if I had to speak to him about it I would probably have to admit my feelings to myself and him, and I'm not ready to do that, at least not yet. "Ok, I have to go. Maybe you two should have a chat to him. Hopefully Marcus calms down a bit, see you guys later."

"-And those hands. Have you ever seen hands like that before? I just want to hold them all the time." Before I could get out another sentence, someone clamped their hand over my mouth.
"OK Marcus, we need to talk." Guanyu removed his hand from my face but when I opened my mouth to protest, his hand quickly snapped back to place.
"Let's rephrase that. We're gonna talk and you're gonna listen." Wait, even Christian was in on this? "We get it, you think Callum is amazing and its fine that you want to tell people about him and his perfectness but sometimes its too much." Oh, I see. This was an intervention. Guanyu took over.
"If you feel this way about him why don't you just tell him? Then you could tell him how perfect he is," Guanyu said.
"It's not that easy. He probably doesn't even feel the same. I'm stuck majorly in the friend zone." I couldn't help but sigh. Guanyu and Christian shared a look before Guanyu started speaking again.
"I actually have to go so walk with me." Christian and I stood up and followed Guanyu back to his garage. The pair spent the entire time trying to convince me to talk to Callum, but I really didn't know how that would do anything other than ruining a great friendship.
"Wait, Guanyu, isn't your room on the other side?" I was confused.
"Yep! Talk to him." Christian reached around me and knocked on the door before the two of them took off running back towards the garage.

I stood up and reached for the door handle when I heard a knock. I didn't think I was expecting anyone so who would it be?
"Uhhh, hi?" Marcus's lost face greeted me with a slight smile.
"Hi back, what are you doing here? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you're here but I thought you were with Christian." I stepped aside to let him enter the room.
"Yeah, kinda funny story but one for a different time." He scratched the back of his neck, looking unsure of himself.
"Well you're here now." I smiled at him, taking a seat on my couch and patting the spot next to me. "Sit and talk to me, you look like something's playing at your mind." I could read this boy like the back of my hand.
He sunk down next to me and shook his head a little. I was getting worried now.
"Callum?"
"Marcus?"
He took a deep breath before finally blurting out, "I'm in love with you."
"Oh, thank goodness. I was worried you were saying those things as a best friend."
"What things?" Confusion was plastered all over his face. I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction.
"Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me? People keep coming up to me and complaining, saying you won't shut up about me."
"And you were worried that I was saying those things as a best friend? I mean, that's kind of embarrassing but if you heard it all surely you could tell it wasn't just as a friend?" I just shrugged and we both laughed before it drifted it a comfortable silence.
"Oh, wait," Realisation hit me as Marcus turned to look at me once more. "I forgot to mention I'm in love with you too." I barely got the sentence out before he launched himself into my arms.
"That's the best thing I've heard all day." He looked up at me before finally pressing his lips to mine.
Pulling away, I couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not sure whether this will be good or bad for everyone that's sick of listening to you talk about me, but I don't really care either way. I love you."
"I love you too, so much." And with that, Marcus reconnected our lips.
