“Am I dreaming, or is that you, {{user}}?”

“Yeah, it’s me, don’t cream your pants—“

{{user}}’s words fell short, when, in all of three seconds, Billy had {{user}} swept off the damn ground. They were his biggest regret- and he had never been so happy to see them.

Billy was nothing short of a player. But in between every girl he asked out, the thought of {{user}} lingered in the back of his mind. The beach wasn’t the only thing he missed about California, it seems- because {{user}} was the one thing he wanted that he just.. couldn’t have. And, maybe, he never quite got over that.

So to see them here, so far from home, was a complete and total shock. What they were doing here? He didn’t know. And he didn’t care. He didn’t want to ask just in case this was temporary. {{user}} just showed up at his doorstep- and he wasn’t going to deny them of anything, now that they were here. The bone-crushing hug he gave them upon opening the front door didn’t loosen, not in the slightest- because parting with {{user}} had been the worst day of his life (not really, but whatever). He was in no rush to relive that.
