summary: you have been in love with arón ever since you became best friends, but then he finds a girlfriend
warnings: angst with fluff at the end, a few spanish words, bad writing, lowercase intended
----------------------------------------------------------
you have been in love with arón for some time now. but you never confessed, obviously. why would you do that? you didn't want to ruin your friendship, because it meant so much to you. but when he found a girlfriend, it hurt a lot. you tried to be happy, but you felt so empty. so sad. mad. angry. at yourself. because you did nothing. it was now 2am and you were still awake, like every night, sadness eating you alive. you felt so hopeless. you thought that you should move on, but how could you? it was physically impossible. so like every night, you were just staring at the ceiling while laying in bed and listening to sad music. what a good way to cure your sadness. suddenly your phone rang. it was arón.
"y/n," he said with a trembling voice.
"what happened?" you asked.
"can you come over?" he had been crying. you could tell. and that broke your heart even more.
"of course. i'll be right there."
"gracias," you loved when he spoke spanish, but not in this situation. you could tell that he had been going through something.
you arrived to arón's place in a few minutes since he lived close to you. you opened the door yourself with a spare key you had for special situations, like this one. you found him laying on the couch with a few opened bottles of beer on the coffee table.
"what happened?" you asked him as calmly as you could, trying not to run to him and hold him in your arms.
"we broke up." arón said with sadness in his voice. even though they dated only for a few months, he spent a lot of time with her. forgetting about you. but you forgave him. not because you felt happy with his decision, but because you were so in love with him and people in love make stupid things.
you sat down next to him.
"come here," you said with your arms opened, ready to hold him like you always dreamed of before sleeping. you started playing with his hair trying to calm him down.
"it will be okay, cariño." arón slowly sat down and just stared at you. there was a spark. chemistry. but you knew it was wrong to feel like that in this situation.
he leaned in and kissed you. and you kissed him back. it was a passionate kiss, full of love. but you knew it wasn't right.
"arón, we should stop." you said after a fight with your feelings.
"why?" he asked you with sad eyes.
"because you just got out of a relationship. literally just a few hours ago. and you're drunk. it isn't right at this moment."
"what if this is something i've been dreaming of?"
"stop arón. stop please. you're hurting me. stop playing with me. just because you got your heart broken doesn't mean mine already isn't."
"i've been in love with you since we became friends!"
"but that was two years ago." he looked at me, confused.
"i know, arón. i know. and i probably won't stop loving you anytime soon so please don't make this harder."
he was quiet for a while. you could see he was thinking about this whole thing.
"but we should at least talk about this."
"we will tomorrow, but now you just need to sleep okay?"
arón went to bed and you decided to stay and sleep on the couch. you didn't expect for any sleep to come to you. you had just confessed your feelings to your best friend. and you knew you had to talk about it eventually. and that he would probably reject you. but you had to not think about that for now.
----------------------------------------------------------
you had slept for almost 4 hours. it was now 7am and arón was still sleeping. so you decided to put a painkiller and a glass of water on his nightstand in case he was really hungover. and you also decided to make him something light for breakfast.
after half an hour you heard some shuffling noises.
"buenos días." he said with a raspy morning voice.
"buenos días, i made you breakfast. want some? or are you hungover?"
"i'll eat it. thank you y/n."
"no problem," you smiled sweetly at him trying to avoid the subject 'feelings' as much as you could. but you didn't know what went through his head. that maybe he didn't sleep last night too, thinking about you, about your confession. maybe he realised that he has been in love with you for some time now.
"hey, we should talk." he said with his eyes focusing on yours.
"oh so you remember?" you said with the feeling of regret in your mouth. you regretted saying anything about it. because it wasn't right. he wasn't in the right place for thinking about your feelings.
arón suddenly came closer to you.
"say it. i want to hear it. i need to hear it." he said with his deep voice you were in love with.
"i love you." you said quietly with your eyes looking into his. "i love you so much."
he didn't even give you a chance to breathe and smashed his lips on yours. it felt so good. but you knew it wasn't right. not yet anyways.
"arón," you stopped him. "what does this mean?"
"i love you," he said with his eyes piercing into yours.
and now it was you who didn't wait and kissed him.
"but we'll take things slow."
"of course, mi amor." he said with a smirk while smashing his lips onto yours.
