You wonder why people refer someone they like as a crush. Initially, you thought it was a cruel thing to call someone that one is attracted to.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mt2DyiMLx 維尼
Maybe, your friend started. Maybe it’s because they crush you heart into a mush, crush your lungs that it’s hard to breathe around them, crush your brain that it’s difficult for you to think logically anymore, he finished with dreamy eyes and crooked grin.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUD4RL7Bw 維尼
That’s drastic, you remember saying. That sounds terrible and cruel, you said again with incredulity, ignoring the sudden and slight breathlessness as you look at him.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC2T5ELHei 維尼
Love’s cruel like that, he replied. But you learn to accept its cruelty because love is also a wonderful thing to have and feel, he continued.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNJhFmLFPH 維尼
You wanted to ask more, to listen more (the genuineness and descriptiveness of your friend’s words makes you like hearing him talking, you reasoned with yourself afterwards), but the bell’s shrill ringing tore through the air.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL2Nk4xJgS 維尼
You two parted ways, but it’s okay. It's Wednesday, and Wednesday means club meetings.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡr17O4R6OsZ 維尼
The club consisting of you, him and his crush; amongst other people.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBz3Kn6Ez5 維尼
You arrive on time (you always do) and much to your chagrin, his crush also has a tendency to be punctual. Three other people are also here, but somehow the presence of this very person who somehow has the heart of your friend in their palms irks you more.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDdmd51WQS 維尼
They smile at you and says hi, which you reply with a weak half-hearted smile.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡySWvp9ga6N 維尼
Why does it bother you?8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyIk1Y9nnt 維尼
You don’t answer you own question, no. Instead you find yourself scanning them, recalling the traits that you’ve noted whenever you see this being in action.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs3wc6TSSf 維尼
Friendly, excitable, and passionate. No wonder this person is able to capture his heart. But you know even they have flaws, but having a crush on someone more often than not means ignoring the crush’s flaws, and-8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiuLVvz68D 維尼
You frown when you realise what you’re doing, and chastise yourself. Why does this ugly feeling surface now, and why is it making you like this?8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbmsdMtfN 維尼
As if on cue, your friend walks towards you with a grin so big and lovely that you momentarily forget how to breathe.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡInGNeM70QL 維尼
He always does that to you, doesn’t he?8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVMv6VbBxL 維尼
You don’t mind the slightest, though.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1l2zeOE9u 維尼
He sits next to you in the meeting.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6R0o9b0Br 維尼
You know it’s only because you sit behind his crush, and not because you would’ve been his first choice to sit next to. He has other friends in the club; people much closer to him than you are.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uU1MHuc9L 維尼
But he keeps leaning his head towards you to crack jokes or whisper his thoughts as the club’s chairman speaks, and sometimes he gets too close that the tips of his hair kisses your cheek.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zIC15fYTJ 維尼
You find yourself falling into a dwam at hearing his voice.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡj65CRPgi8a 維尼
Then you’re rudely interrupted back into the land of reality by the man himself. He smiles cheekily as you glare at him. When he tilts his head towards other people changing seats do you realise what’s happening. “We’ve got to research some stuff. 3 persons each team, wanna join?”8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOu50vx6TO 維尼
You acquiesce as everyone settles into their teams, except one. You heave a deep sigh. “Yo!”8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXirViKvjF 維尼
The person in front of you turns around with questioning brows and hesitant smile.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVrZh5EUr 維尼
Hopeless. Utterly, astoundingly hopeless.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0z3UO3iBA 維尼
“Join our team.” You say. Not a request, not an invitation, not nothing.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n5Kp664i1 維尼
In your peripheral vision, you see your friend staring at you bug-eyed, but you’re staring at the face that’s lighting up at your words. They pull up a chair and sits next to your side, and you can feel the smile that’s forming on his lips. He looks at you with giddy eyes, though you know it’s not for you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2HHkUwoO 維尼
After the meeting ends; but before parting ways, all three of you promise to meet at the local library this late afternoon.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIQj3jzeg 維尼
You still feel his strands of hair against your skin, and a lingering sense of regret sits at the back of your mind.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIFCu9qGJn 維尼
Of what, you're not sure.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBUTWOPzzH 維尼
Yet again, you and his crush shares one thing in common: punctuality (which you find to be commendable). You meet them on your way to the library, and you’ve been walking together since.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5DXoxDq6j 維尼
There was a few minutes of utter silence between you two. It was far from uncomfortable, though. Perhaps they’re good at reading people, because at first they seem like they want to break the ice, but never does. You’re taciturn, so not much of a talker anyways. Better be in silence rather than having the air of discomfiture hanging around and suffocating you two.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQJRpjxwVW 維尼
He arrives with that big grin of his again. You notice that he falters slightly when he lays eyes upon his crush, but he braves on nonetheless.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrtob0nUdl 維尼
Everyone make a beeline to the bookshelves after everything’s settled. Journals, articles and books of all kinds are stacked on top of each other. He’s more than enthusiastic to help out his crush; so for the most part, you left them be.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC5Y1buDFo 維尼
When you see your friend stuttering and stumbling over his words, his nervous tic of drawing circles on the back of his palm coming to life every time he speaks with his crush; you can’t help the jealousy that slowly brews in your heart. It is an ugly feeling to have, but it is an emotion nonetheless.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BjFKHWAPy 維尼
He speaks to them with a softer voice than he does with you. Maybe it’s just because they’re in a library right now, but you’re here with him too. He speaks in his normal tone with you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jIszSlORF 維尼
The ugly feeling grows.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I1wiFGNyZ 維尼
“Must be nice to have a crush.” You two walk home together (you talked him into it, of course. He could’ve easily taken a taxi, but you’re adept at persuasion). Bitterness was discernible in your tone, and he catches on.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGBz4I0hEI 維尼
“It depends.” He says simply. He knows what buttons to push when it comes to you (that happens when you befriend an observant guy), but never does so.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tEruo0mq5 維尼
“Why?”8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv7NDKpNK3 維尼
“Well... depends on who you’re crushing on, and how you deal with it. Because as you can see, I was a train wreck with mine.”8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEI0QjjSvF 維尼
Mine, he says.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwBc984L0 維尼
“That’s better than nothing. If I have one, I don’t know how I would’ve acted.” I try my best to assure him.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡOop95KBJhv 維尼
“You don’t?” He asks, incredulous.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3Fo2TtlC 維尼
I stare at him, searching his features before replying.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCH5RDStBE 維尼
“No. Never have.”8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8geY0QjV9 維尼
The research sessions continue at the same time every day.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7CVIXO3Ew 維尼
The three of you gets closer and closer, and this only serves to make you feel at odds against yourself.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMUfTXkk6f 維尼
You gradually warms up to his crush, for they are somehow magnetic, in a sense. No matter how much you try to resist, you eventually take a liking to them.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNG7Ne8Euq 維尼
You and his crush are affable at best, but the thought of referring to them as your friend bothers you, so you decided to stick with calling them as 'his crush'. Only in your mind, of course.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUxk0wZvoK 維尼
That also means he's getting chummy with them, and the ugly feeling would scream for you to intervene- that he's gonna forget you soon enough if you let them become closer and closer.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡopXIpci8l5 維尼
It takes all of your willpower to not do exactly that. Because you are aware of your weaknesses (possessiveness, jealousy, you name it; there's a high chance that you do indeed possess such traits) and the damage it can cause once you choose to act upon it, because your old friends were damaged by these very things that make up who you are.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BdI7el1d 維尼
It is innate, which is why you distance yourself from everyone.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIgeoySuif 維尼
But life's cruel, as always. One day, out of the blue: he sat next to you during recess, and has never changed place ever since. He was tenacious, and you were reticent. Of course you yield, for his efforts touched at your heart and mind more than you were willing to let show.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oMMmmLn5A 維尼
The days of the research sessions are numbered, and because everyone will have no time to meet outside school, your friend decided to spend a day together where everyone goes out to play, and not work. All that's left to do for your research is proofreading, so you and his crush agreed to his plans.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmD1mjwUze 維尼
As you gradually come closer to the day, your heart hammers in your chest. You're not sure why, but you're not able to sleep the night before the day.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDG6UEcl2 維尼
After countless tries of drifting off into deep slumber does your body acknowledges the exhaustion that's coursing through your body.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvayvuVz5 維尼
You dream, but it's not a good one; for the thoughts of him leaving you haunts your dream.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJXO0XfLw 維尼
The sun proudly shines amongst the blue skies fleeced with clouds as the skies turn to a tint of yellowy orange.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8sqo6m9q5 維尼
By the time you arrive at the promised meetup place (which is the library, for convenience's sake), your friend and his crush chatters away. Your friend waves at you as soon as he notices you walking towards them, and that trademark grinning signature of his presents itself.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEFbPDsfev 維尼
He then tells their plans for the day: "A movie, food and then the funfair to wrap things off before we head back to school tomorrow and probably never see each other again." He finishes with a titter.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZPOU8ufA0 維尼
Even though you're well aware that he's joking, his last words has its lasting effects on you. To never see each other again would be the worst.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGtZOEhoaD 維尼
"Don't say that." you say in a downhearted tone.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1efj5xhbrE 維尼
He suddenly looks troubled, and his crush's reaction (two brows raised, mouth thinning with a look of amusement, which in itself is humorous) at his facial expressions lightens your mood a bit.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MVvo8S6I 維尼
"Come on now! We haven't got all the time in the world." His crush exclaims before walking ahead, not even waiting for you two.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxlyZmjGij 維尼
You raises your brows at your friend, to which he replies with a simper.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj0g5yJy65 維尼
He throws one arm around your shoulder. "Let's run past and boo them. How's that sound?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJbTw9lOT3 維尼
Your lips forms into a mischievous smirk as you look into his glimmering eyes. 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjKrKU194 維尼
You two run, hand in hand past his crush and turns to face them as you two blow raspberries at them, only to trip on each other's legs a moment later and fall with a thud and a cry.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡUchQc1geSa 維尼
It's not until you see his crush wiggling their brows at you as he worriedly checks for any injuries on you, do you finally realise the very thing that you've been refusing to acknowledge all this time.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡixT07UKaDg 維尼
You weren't envy of him having a crush, no.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj7IxJVEZ0 維尼
You were envious of his crush.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tVC9IND8 維尼
He sags in relief when he's certain that you're okay, and rises up. He offers a hand, to which you grab on without any hesitation.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FEU7L2kHB 維尼
His crush smiles knowingly at you, but you resolutely refuses to look at them in the eyes.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPlfdwC91 維尼
At theatre, you were expecting for all of you to sit next to each other; with you being the third wheel.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rAAZOmK1K 維尼
As luck will have it, though, you're forced to sit in different seats and rows. 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbh9xHpCo1 維尼
This of course brings down everyone's mood, but you're able to convince them that it's not bad because now they can focus on the film and ramble and theorise about it later. They buy into your argument, and then your friend decides to buy some light snacks for the movie.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYSr7bYRM 維尼
As you watch him walk away from the seat, his crush starts. "So... it's kinda obvious you like the guy."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3e8pcRVhM 維尼
You feel like a deer caught in the headlights. You stare at them, bug-eyed.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAK6ECWQQ3 維尼
They simper triumphantly. "I take that you do, then."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtU4XXVBVs 維尼
You gulp, feeling the saliva cascading down your throat. A nod. "But I can't."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5cGb8BHKE 維尼
"Why, because he likes me?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2MXXbpwB 維尼
Your head jerks towards them in bewilderment. "You knew?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxv2CV8pSU 維尼
"Of course! The man's as transparent as it gets. You, on the other hand... I've never truly weigh the possibility, not until I saw the way you look at him when you two were gamboling just now."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAOlr5VbeU 維尼
You ruminate momentarily. "But do you... reciprocate?" Your tone tentative, unsure; but most importantly: fearful. Your head spins, and you hold your breath. For what, you don't know.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qxs5qtoAx 維尼
They shrug, and then you're suddenly able to breathe again. You heave a sigh of relief, finally hearing your heart palpitating.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FW5J2Q9bR 維尼
"It's said that eyes are the window to the soul. His was not unlike yours just now, but it was different." They mull over something for a moment. "Though, his gaze gradually changes as we spend more time together. It's too innocent to say that it's romantic love that's shimmering in those eyes."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf9kcvC662 維尼
You look at your friend who has finally gotten all of his orders. "Do all of us a favour and tell him how you feel." They continue as your friend pays and heads back towards the two of you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gK6fH0TGW 維尼
"What're you guys talking about?" He asks as he sits between you and his crush, putting the snacks on any remaining space on the seat.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X1kCdxjNP 維尼
"About your butt." 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡF747jI0K9L 維尼
The insouciance in which his crush says it nearly kills your friend from choking, and you from embarrassment.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxT3vhhcMs 維尼
This is going to be a long day.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5IpKO3Yd 維尼
Food's wonderful. Whoever wins a game of rock–paper–scissors gets to decide where to eat. Your friend wins, and he brings you two to a restaurant with Southeast Asian dishes as the menu.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6gbRka3zd 維尼
The chatter comes more easily now, especially now that you know that your friend won't be leaving anytime soon. Not to mention now that you're not in a library, but that's besides the point.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47UlNUW8pt 維尼
You ponder whether you should continue referring to your friend's crush as 'his crush', still. Eh, nothing to lose anyways. Might as well stick to it.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzASOCl5kY 維尼
Your friend accidentally orders a dish that's spicier than what he can handles, and titters and chortles turns into sympathetic frowns.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZAHwahzV 維尼
Other than that misfortune of his, though, all three of you have had a blast.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6eXg3hA3 維尼
Next destination: funfair.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4QGE4raf 維尼
It's not hard to locate, with all the spotlights dancing across the night sky to guide you to its locale. 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡChR7ucskR2 維尼
To your shock, it's not crowded as you would've expect from a Sunday night. Perhaps everyone's just tired and decided not to go out this night? Who knows, you're not going to complain. This lessens the queue and wait time, anyway.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxZ3RVzr92 維尼
All three of you play the rides together- from the coasters to the carousel. Except for the Ferris wheel, of course. The one in this funfair is utter shite anyways, so you won't be losing out on anything much.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ34W3Disyn 維尼
As everyone head towards the games to end the night on a lighter tone (really depends on the games you'll be playing, really), your friend's crush quickly grabs your arm and pulls you to a more discreet place.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBmy9H3bKg 維尼
You furrow your brows at them, and they dismiss it with a wave and a hiss. "He'll be okay! The dude's shirt stands out, so we can find him. He's likely to stay in one place if we're gone, anyway."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dqai0OrxG 維尼
You blink several times, a bit taken aback by how they could deduce such things from mere observations alone.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSzsqI139 維尼
"Look." They grab your shoulder, fiery eyes staring into yours. "If you don't confess now, I swear to the damn gods above that I'll be the one to profess my feelings for him."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh0FTtMnRm 維尼
Your gaze turns into a glare, and they sigh in relief. "Good. Go tell him. I'll watch from afar, so make up some excuse or something." They pat your shoulder before going off... somewhere. It's dark here, though, so you're not even sure where they're gone to.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA39Pb5HZv 維尼
You walk away from the darkness, the funfair lights greeting you as soon as you reenters its compound once again. You look around, and sure as hell, your friend stands out like a sore thumb.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN0111PCTy 維尼
You walk up to him, forming some kind of plan that'll result in you being pressured to confess. Because you know you'll never admit it to the man himself. You'll stutter, stumble and embarrass yourself. Your pride hinders your ability to be honest in general, but a person of pride keeps one's words.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdlHgQ845l 維尼
So damn it, you'll tell him even if it means by compulsion.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSdd1R1B2b 維尼
His expressions brightens at the sight of you, though it falters when he notices the absence of someone else. 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMx7amQYF 維尼
"They wanna try to win the other games at those side." You point towards the other end of the funfair, where more stalls for games resides.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaGhPBytkT 維尼
"Look, uh- bro. Buddy, pal." You try, though you wince at the failure of your attempt. "Let's make the games more fun. If I win, you tell me something. If you win, I tell you something."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPeXt5eeOn 維尼
His brows raises at this proposal. "You can tell anything you want?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5qAZRGKeK 維尼
You smile, a hint of nervousness creeping into it. "Anything you want."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ1CBGKQGJ 維尼
"The other person can't comment whatsoever after the loser tells them whatever they're gonna say, though." You added belatedly as you two walks toward the ring tosser game.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tpOYY1tz2 維尼
A sly smirk creeps onto his face. "Okay."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ruZHOX7k 維尼
You eye him in your peripheral vision with a healthy dose of curiosity mixed with confusion, but you let it go.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12gf378z4W 維尼
You two each pay the man who handles the game, and the game begins.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡualIGwalbJ 維尼
Both of you are stacking up against each other quite well, and now he knows you as well as you know him.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F6XeMptjE 維尼
Of his families, his past, his problems and random facts he reads from the Internet that he somehow manages to recall out of nowhere.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYARlOX7Bd 維尼
He learns of your passions, your flaws and your hope for the future.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmNjFeI2B 維尼
Somehow, you feel like both of you are avoiding from asking a delicate question. You're not quite sure if the suspicion is mutual, but you've been beating around the bush long enough now that it's starting to frustrate you. 8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHXLxNTzFJ 維尼
So when you find yourself winning the High Striker against him, as he readies himself to tell you another thing about himself- you decide to take control of the situation and say what you've been dying to say: I think I like you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHM5gt46j0 維尼
He stares at you- he stares long enough that you worry whether you've broken his thoughts or something. Maybe he's figuring out how to escape this without making it awkward? You won't blame him at all.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aDPR3NUbF 維尼
A grin slowly spreads, as he locks eyes with yours. I like you too, he says between smiling teeth. I've always like you, he says again.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ltvYyA3Y 維尼
You try to suppress the big grin that's threatening to form on your lips, but it decides to break loose anyway. I think I love you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fPDVkuUC2 維尼
I love you too, he replies with such sincerity that the damn dam in your eyes feels like combusting into pieces and the tears trying to break out.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAL17zBh1v 維尼
You basically tackle him into a hug, and he kisses your cheek. The funfair's lights kisses both of your beings, rejoicing alongside you two.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cBvss2p17 維尼
"Well, well." His (ex)crush stands beside your sprawled bodies on the dirt, looking down at you two with amusement and care. "Guess the secret's out, huh?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExTycGlgo 維尼
You suddenly realises something, and you quickly sits up. "Wait, so are they your crush or not?"8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOaPHxGukv 維尼
He follows suit, then gives you a sheepish smile. "More like a friend-crush, really. Both of you are cool in my eyes, but all I want to do with them is hang out and just be best buddies." He takes your hands in his. "With you though, you crush my heart into a mush, crush my lungs that it’s hard to breathe around you, crush my brain that it’s difficult for me to think logically anymore."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGwphXnKq 維尼
He echoes the same words he used to explain the definition of crush to you a while back. You're glad that it's currently night time and the funfair's lights aren't blindingly bright, for you can feel your skin flushing.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVHMGRZWiy 維尼
"Yeah, that nervousness of his is normal. He gets intimidated by people he likes, but he gradually acts as usual once he gets comfortable. You didn't notice him doing the same to you back then?" You now-friend (who was his friend-crush) looks at you questioningly.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡS39XiRxTlc 維尼
Now it's your turn for a sheepish smile, followed by a titter. "I was too busy being miserable and being lonely to really notice."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J9f1viM83 維尼
He wraps his arms around your midriff as you continue to sit on the ground. "Wanna go home now? I'm sure everyone's exhausted."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX7fbfksCP 維尼
You turn your head towards him and pecks him on the cheek before smirking. "Nah, let's ride the terrible Ferris wheel before we go."8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡejDLwkIrO2 維尼
The other two looks at you with bewilderment, but for some reason, they follow along with your atrocious idea anyways.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPBkgBzvC 維尼
"That ride was dreadful." you deadpan, and your friend rolls their eyes.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyTf80aNdn 維尼
Your (boy)friend chuckles, then proceeds to kiss your temple.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Du7Mh9LBH 維尼
Perhaps the ride isn't as dreadful as you make it out to be.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeeBB5D6jb 維尼
You throw an arm around both of your friend and boyfriend's shoulders.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡSirozYkVES 維尼
I love you.8964 copyright protection423ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxrZ6OkABw 維尼
