It was kinda nice to just sit and talk on a deep level. I didn't think I could forget about this cold that's brought me down to what feels like death but. Yeah. Just talking like that was nice. Real nice...

I'm being stupid. I know I am. But if I have to be honest, I treasure our friendship. I worry if my crazy next few words are gonna ruin that for us—for me.

So umm, yeah. Those last few days were a real eye opener if anything. I really enjoyed your company and all of that. While I super treasure our friendship, I wanted to ask if you'd be okay if we tried to become more than that? You know—more than BFFs but BLFs—Best Lovers Forevers?

I never really talked about anything like this before. Usually I am probably just seen as the crazy kid who won't stay in his lane or something. But this was just more than a friendship thing I saw during my sickness. I am sure you didn't mean for it to become like that but—umm... I...I really liked hanging out like that on such a personal level.

I was embarrassed at first but it turned into this domestic setting that I really want in the future.

You're really sweet and kind and just all around awesome, you know? I know I have that all now in the form of a friendship, but I want more than that for just a bit. Maybe we could take it out on a test run or something? If you decide you don't like it, we can stop doing it. Ya know, I gotta be honest—I don't think I could lose what we have in the form of friends over a relationship.

That's what I was talking about earlier... So, if you don't want to do this, you can tell me no. I won't be mad or anything. We can continue like the same as before!

But I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't see anything more with us. I can... easily. That whole, what was it, a week I was sick? Yeah. That was eye opening. A lot. I'd be hurting myself if I didn't tell you this. I'd be kicking myself in the head if you found someone else to be your partner in crime throughout the coming years or so while I sat on the sidelines mad I didn't say a thing.

So, what do you wanna do? Do you wanna try this out with me? We can take it slow, ya know? We can play video games together and eat something you like for dinner and see it as this sort of date night without being too cuddly and stuff. Unless you like cuddling?? Do you like cuddling?

Asking for a friend.

Umm, yeah. How do I end this? Well, uh, call me or something to let me know how you feel. I was too embarrassed to actually talk over the phone or something about it all. But, yeah. I like you—a lot. A whole lot.

Okay, fine. I love you. There. I did it.
