I LOVE YOUβS in my brotherβs best friend reality,, or a ( 564 word: ~2:03 min read ) excerpt about Grant telling me he loves me for the first time, written for a tiktok edit [ FOUND HERE ].
A PARTICULARLY LOUD REV catches my attention as I turn to try and spot what obnoxious car decided to make that ostentatious and annoying display. But before I can spot it my attention is dragged away from the street by Grantβs voice.
βHey,β was what he muttered before my eyes fell on him. Now heβs saying, βSo I wanted to talk,β while he looks so small and can barely keep eye contact with me.
I just chuckle lightly, joking with him, and throwing out an, βUh oh.β
His eyes snap over and lock onto mine, βNo! Itβs nothing bad!β He doesnβt continue speaking though as he stares away from me in the silence I give him.
βGo on then,β I say with a laugh.
His trouble with eye contact all but vanishes as he starts talking to me while looking me in my eyes, βIβm gonna tell you something.β
βShitβ¦β Is all I can think. I can kind of read the roomβ¦ or sidewalk weβre on. With the meal we just had, I can see where this is going, but I just let him keep talking.
βAnd donβt feel obligated to respond a certain way.β
And after those words, I know my assumptions have just been proven right. I wonder if I should say something, but he just wonβt stop talking.
βI just feel like it has to be saiββ
βGrant,β I interrupt. And his eyes widen slightly as his mouth snaps shut. Thereβs a fear in his eyes, like heβs expecting some reaction from me that Iβm ultimately not going to give him.
I canβt help the chuckle that escapes me as I look away from him and towards the street, watching as a passing car drives down it and past us too fast. βJust tell me you love meβ¦β I finally say as I look back to him. His mouth is blubbering as if heβs trying to speak, but Iβm not done, ββ¦so I can say it back.β
He starts to grow a small smile thatβs been missing from his face since he joined me out on the sidewalk. βYou love me?β
The question makes my heart beat fast. It honestly is an exciting question to be asked. An exciting question to answer too. My own smile grows wide at it, βI love you a lot, honestly.β His smile stretches into a wider grin at my answer, and then again at my question, βAnd you love me?β
βFunny you ask, because I actually love you to the moon and back.β His thumb and finger pinch my chin as he shakes my head side to side.
I snort as I push his hand away, βWoowww, thatβs pretty far, too bad I love you from here to pluto.β
Grant moves to push a strand of hair behind my ear as he says, βHuhβ¦ because I travel to other galaxies just so I can love you during the whole journey soooβ¦β I push his hand away again after it lingered, and he playfully grimaces, communicating to me that this back and forth is fruitless.
βFiiine, you wiiin,β I say as I wrap my arms around his shoulders and let my head fall into his neck.
His arms envelop my waist as he whispers, βI always do,β into my hair. And I pull back from his neck just so I can flick him in the head.
