Warning: pure fluff, friends to lovers

Clyde picked up the toys laying out on the living room floor as Jimmy carried a worn-out Sadie from the couch before waving a silent thank you and goodbye to you and Clyde.

"I guess I should get going too; it's getting late." You put the last of the leftovers in the fridge and grabbing your purse on your way out.

"Stay." He cleared his throat. "I mean if ya want. We haven't really spent any time together lately, and stars get real pretty at night if ya wanna look at em with me? Haven't done that since we were kids."

"You're right, we haven't. I'd love that, Clyde." When you walked outside, The night sky was decorated with twinkling lights, illuminating Clyde standing out by the field. He had set up the bed of his truck with a couple pillows and blankets. He helped you climb on as he settled next to you.

"You know Jimmy was teasing me today?" You hesitated a bit before Clyde interrupted.

"Sounds bout right fer Jimmy" He teased, making you nudge him with your elbow.

"Clyde." You propped yourself up on your elbow to look at him. "Can I ask you something?"

He turned to you, noticing the concerned look on your face before sitting up.

"Of course, Darlin. Anythin."

"It's about what Jimmy said earlier today...he said you've had a crush on me since high school or something...is that true?" Clyde furrowed his eyebrows, making you doubt ever saying anything in the first place. You quickly jumped, trying to ease the tension. "You know what? Never mind. Forget I said anything. It's weird. Just forget it." Your cheeks were burning already as you laid back down.

Clyde chewed on his lower lip; he didn't know whether to be angry or annoyed at his brother right now. Jimmy wasn't supposed to tell you that, he thought to himself. He pondered for a moment, thinking it was now or never to finally come clean about those feelings he's harbored inside for so long.

"High school?" He sighed before continuing. "Darlin, ya remember Jimmy's 10th birthday party. Ya know, the one Mellie took us all rollerblading?"

"Of course. You had me hold your hand the entire time because you kept falling." You both laughed, recalling a trembling Clyde stuck to the wall of the rollerblading rink.

"And when I told ya to go on with ya friends instead of helpin me. You took ma hand and said no, that I was your best friend and with me was exactly where ya were supposed to be, do ya remember that?" You nodded, unsure of where Clyde was going with his. "Well... that's it. That's when I knew... that's when I knew I loved ya." Your mouth fell slightly open in utter shock at Clyde's words. "Now it's okay if ya don't feel that way bout me, I never expected ya to, but I-" You cut him off, meeting your lips with his.

Clyde quickly returned the kiss, shakingly bringing his hand to cup your face, his fingers curling around your neck, tangling in your hair. Reveling in how soft you felt against his lips, even better than he could've ever imagined. You parted briefly to catch your breath, your heart pounding through your chest.

"Darlin, It's you. It's always been you." He whispered, his thumb stroking your cheek tenderly; you began to kiss the tears away as they fell from his eyes. Clyde held you closer to him; he'd waited so long to do this. To hold you in his arms, to make you his. And at that moment, he swore he'd never let you go.
