Derick and you had been close friends since highschool. You guys would party, sometimes hang out- you know, the things friends do. But there was just oneeee little problem.

You liked him.

Now there’s nothing wrong with liking your best friend except for the fact that things could go south. For example; your friendship falling apart. And that’s something that’s been on your mind ever since you thought about confessing your feelings.

After months of considering on whether or not you should spill out all of your feelings towards Derick, you finally made up your mind and decided to tell him on Christmas Eve, which was probably a good idea since the two of you had a Christmas party to attend to anyways.

And here you were, at the Christmas party, wearing something that would keep you warm. You were on the balcony, drinking a hot cup of cocoa while thinking of how to confront Derick, until your thoughts were interrupted by someone leaning on the balcony with you. And what do you know? It was Derick. He faced you and smiled, scooting a bit closer towards you for comfort.

“Isn’t it cold out here?” He murmured, looking back towards the view. You nodded and did the same, taking a sip of your hot cocoa. The two of you sat in silence before the both of you suddenly spoke at the same time, causing your faces to flush.

“You go first” You said with a nervous smile. Derick shook his head and pointed towards you. “No- you go first” He chuckled. “How about we both go on three?” You asked. Derick agreed and sighed.

One..

Two…

Three!

“Do you want to go out with me!?” The both of you shouted at the same time, your cheeks tinting a reddish color.
