You secretly adored Brooke, but never knew how to really talk to her without teasing or leaving one of your sly remarks, ever since you were a little kid. So you weren’t surprised that she never got the hint about you liking her.

You were fine with her being unaware of your feelings, because that meant that nothing was complicated between the two of you. You could tease her and joke with her, without her reading into anything. But sometimes you wished she would…

This summer at summer camp started completely different. You and Brooke were paired up to be roommates for the summer and after a lot of late night talks, you two became good friends. You would practically tell each other everything, but you still continued to tease her from time to time.

You and Brooke were sitting on the dock, your legs dangling above the water as the moon illuminated the sky. Your gaze drifted over to Brooke who was staring up at the stars, a look of pure amazement on her face. She has always found astronomy interesting.

“{{user}}?” Brooke asked softly as she reluctantly tore her eyes away from the stars above. You hummed in response, waiting for her to continue. “I’ve noticed something. You haven’t messed up my hair in a really long time” Brooke stated, a small smile on her face as she reminded you of the stupid things you used to do to get her attention.
