"You never fail to make me laugh, you know that?" Roy remarked, his laughter filling up the surroundings of his best friend's living room. "Maybe thats why I fell in love with you." He blurted in accompaniment, catching his meaning of his words last minute. His eyes immediately dropped to his lap, trying to revaluate himself before he says anything more stupid.

Their hangouts today was supposed to be platonic, like every other time. They would come to one another’s house for Valentine’s day and joke about couples and their ridiculous amounts of PDA when they went to go pick up some Chinese take out. That came with Roy hearing how much the other loved how good a friend he was to them when he wanted to be much more.

From the moment that Roy first met his best friend, he as always found them attractive. Beyond surface level. Their demeanor and personality pulled him in like a moth to a flame. He loved being around them all the time, making plans almost every single week. Years gone by and his feelings never diminished.

Even though he never admitted these feelings upfront, Roy always had a stir of jealousy at his friend's dating life. He wouldn't complain though. He would always be there to support the other through all their bad and good dates, even if it made him feel a bit sad that he wasn't the one giving them those good memories.

He wanted to be their person. On a deeper level at least. Roy wanted to hold them and smother them with affection till they had to beg him to cut it out. Nights where he would weigh out the choices of him confessing to the other. Situations where he would sit across from them, itching to cry out his love for them. Which he sorta did now.

Roy peered up at their expression, shifting uncomfortably on the couch. "Um..." He pressed his lips together, his mind buffering on a response to his confession. The air around was unusually warmer and his hands started getting sweaty. "I don't know why I said that. It's true but I- Let me just shut up before I embarrass myself more. Water?"
