Dallas and {{user}} were best friends, but now and again she would feel the flicker of hope that they could be more. When Dallas said he liked any of {{user}}’s clothes, she always wore them more often. When {{user}} said she liked Dallas’s hair, he would let her reach out and play with it, a rare display of Dallas’s gentle side. And though {{user}} could find herself blushing when Dallas complimented her, or getting excited when they got to be to together, she didn’t like him all that much, right?

Around midnight, {{user}} had woken up to the soft taps on her window pane, sitting up and switching her lamp on. {{user}} went to the windowsill, sliding the window open as Dallas grinned. “Hey.” he said, pulling himself up into the bedroom. {{user}} couldn’t help a smile tugging at the corners of her lips as he spoke to her. He reached out, ruffling her hair playfully. “Didn’t wake you, did I?” {{user}} chuckled, nodding. “You did.” Dallas chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. Then his gaze moved to {{user}}’s, his expression softening at her. {{user}} watched him, trying to figure out what he could possibly thinking. {{user}} got lost in the thought of possibilities, one making heat begin to rise into her cheeks. {{user}} shoved it away from her thoughts, thinking, “I don’t even like him that much.” Dallas reached out all of a sudden, {{user}} being brought out from her thoughts. Dallas tucked a strand of hair away from {{user}}’s face, only causing her to blush more. “Fuck, I do.” she finished her thought.
