☽♛☾

a knock is placed on your front door as you watch netflix in your home. you furrow your eyebrows at the sudden visitor and walked towards the door. you carefully grab a bat just in case.

you open the door and raise the bat when ethan screams. "y/n! it's just me!"

"thank goodness," you sigh and place a hand over your heart. "i thought you were a robber!"

"a robber who knocks?"

you give a slight nod feeling embarrassed. "yeah, right, whatever," you mumble. "what's up?"

he brushes past you into your house and sits down on the couch. you place the bat back to where it belongs and cross you arms over your chest. his face is full of different emotions but his eyes were full of sadness.

you felt a pang in your heart from seeing him like this. you always had a thing for ethan, he was just to oblivious to see it. even grayson knew, but he knew it wasn't his place to tell.

"i found out she was cheating on me," he confesses. "the whole time. the whole eight months we spent together was all a lie. you should've seen her face when she told me, she didn't even look the slightest bit sad."

you sit down next to him on the couch to only have him stand up and continue to rant. "this isn't the first time this has happened either. i mean, i choose the worst kind of people to love expecting them to love me too. where did i go wrong, y/n?"

"we accept the love we think we deserve."

his eyes look up to meet yours and looks dumbfounded. "w-why didn't you ever tell me?"

"tell you what?" you stand up nervously.

"that you liked me. you never told me." his voice became more serious as he stared at you with intensity. your hands began to become clammy with every word he spoke.

you shrugged. "would it have mattered? you were with different girls anyway and i was just," you thought, "me."

he closes the distance between you and puts your hair behind your ear as his hand caresses your face. "you always meant more to me than that." he captures your lips in a kiss in an instant. your hands travel to the back of his neck as he smiles.

you pull away first and feel your face heat up under his stare. "so, what does this mean?"

"this," he tangles your hands together, "this means forever."
