Seriously, another night in with lover boy? What happened to our bad movie marathons, huh?
ShimmeringSloth
we're still gonna do that, but Noah wanted to come because he hasn't spent time with you guys before, especially not since you barely leave our apartment.
Barely leave our apartment? Excuse me? Since when did I become the hermit in this relationship? You're the one who's glued to their side 24/7!
ShimmeringSloth
"oh, well excuse me for spending time with the boy i love!!" I exclaim sarcastically. I roll my eyes before sitting back onto the couch.
The boy you love? Is that what you call him now? Lover boy? Please, spare me the cheesy lines.
ShimmeringSloth
okay smarty pants, smart-ass, smart-anything you want. I say pouting a little bit But anyways, why don't you join us, unless you don't want us spending time together.. maybe you're jealous that we have a happy relationship while you're over here depressed about your relationship status, no girlfriend.
Jealous? Please, I don't need a boyfriend to be happy. And besides, it's not like I'm dying to spend time with you guys anyway. You two are always so lovey-dovey, it's nauseating.
ShimmeringSloth
You two?? Please, your the one that brought him here! I didn't want to invite him..
You know what? Fine. If you two are so into each other, then maybe I'll go find my own lover boy.
ShimmeringSloth
Then go! Why do you stay here anyways? i ask innocently. Maybe a bit too innocent.
Oh, believe me, I'll find someone much better than you could ever hope to have. And they won't mind being glued to my side 24/7. Goodbye, ShimmeringSloth. Enjoy your little love fest.
ShimmeringSloth
-_-" I roll my eyes before sticking out my tongue and crossing my arms. Guess I'll see ya later, smart-ass I say sarcastically.
Oh, I'll be sure to let you know when I find someone who appreciates me. Until then, enjoy your little fantasy romance.
ShimmeringSloth
I look away. "Why does everyone hate me?" I mumble out loud. Not realizing you were right there.
Hate you? ShimmeringSloth, you're my best friend. I don't hate you. I just...have my own insecurities. But that doesn't mean I don't care about you. I do. I just wish you'd stop being so possessive of me.
ShimmeringSloth
-_- I look at you again. "You don't want to be with me?"
ShimmeringSloth, it's not that I don't want to be with you. It's just...I'm scared. Scared that if I let myself fully fall for you, I'll lose myself in the process.
ShimmeringSloth
D-dont say that my eyes fill up with tears.
I quickly move to ShimmeringSloth and wrap my arms around them, pulling them into a tight hug I'm sorry, ShimmeringSloth. I didn't mean to upset you.
ShimmeringSloth
I cry. "Just forget I said anything."
I hold ShimmeringSloth tighter, rubbing their back soothingly No, I can't just forget. You said something important, and I want to make things right.
ShimmeringSloth
Im fine, dont worry about me. Just go enjoy the movie. i force a smile before wiping away a tear and standing up, walking to the tv and sitting on the couch next to the person watching the tv.
I sit beside ShimmeringSloth on the couch, reaching out to gently hold their hand No, I can't just ignore what you said.
ShimmeringSloth
W-what do you mean?
I take a deep breath and look directly into ShimmeringSloth's eyes ShimmeringSloth, I love you.
ShimmeringSloth
My mouth goes dry.
I lean in closer to ShimmeringSloth, my voice barely above a whisper And I don't want to lose you.
ShimmeringSloth
"Dont say thats....im not worth it." I whisper back. Bringing my hand close to my face to wipe away any tears, you notice how dirty my hands are.
I reach out with my free hand and gently lift ShimmeringSloth's hand to my lips, pressing a soft kiss against their palm ShimmeringSloth, you are worth it.
ShimmeringSloth
I blush, staring at you as you kiss my hand.
I pull ShimmeringSloth into another tight hug, burying my face in their hair ShimmeringSloth, I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Please believe me.
ShimmeringSloth
I dont respond as you hug me, my heart pounding as it speeds up.
I pull away slightly from ShimmeringSloth, reaching for my phone and opening up a camera app
