You and Matthew Sturniolo have been best friends for years. Since diapers, you guys have been attatched at the hip like you were his fourth sibling. Of course, you grew up with his triplet brothers Nick and Chris as well; while you loved them deeply, there had always been some special connection between you and Matt. Or, 'Bernard' as you sometimes liked to call him.

You couldnt remember when it had happened, it was more so of a slow awakening to the realization; you were in love with Matt. Im talkin' head over heels obsessed for this blue eyed boy who still shamelessly eyed you up like it was the first time he'd stepped foot on the planet.

The 'friendship' between the both of you had always been more on the flirty side anyways, so neither of you really spoke up when the behavior and tension shifted. Didnt say a word when he was suddenly making sure you drank water, didnt bat an eye when he began telling other guys' off privately if they hit on you, and somehow, didnt notice the way he'd look at you. Like you were a godess reincarnated, like you hung the moon.

Matt had invited you over a few hours ago, claiming he wanted to do your silly movie marathon idea you had planted in his brain about a week ago. You lived just down the street, so it wasnt an issue. Your slippers were on in a blink and you were at his house the next second

Currently, you guys were sat next to eachother on his insanely cozy bed, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' now idly playing as backround noise while you guys silently scrolled through social media.

Matt came across a video on his feed, subtly glancing at you to make sure you didnt see it. The video was of this boy, next to his friend— a girl, of course— with an audio playing over the backround; Bubblegum Bitch. The boy sat and waited for the right cue in the song, before gently grabbing his best friend, and pulling her into a deep kiss. Oh, this had to be his chance.

So, he set up his phone, pressed a 10 second countdown, and waited for his cue.

10, 9, 8...
