Part 17: Corbyn
(This was not requested)
(Y/N) = your name
Your POV
I was so painfully close to being finished, when I just had to run out of pictures. You see, I was in college and I had an art project that need to be completed and turned in by tonight. It was currently 3 in the afternoon. I searched around the room, looking to see if I'd had any left, but I didn't. I walked out of my bedroom and through my dorm. I sped through the hallway to the guys side. Fortunately there weren't many guys roaming the halls. I made it to the last door on the 3rd floor and knocked, hoping he was inside. I heard shuffling and smiled. My smile faded when Daniel, Corbyn's roommate, opened the door.
"Hey (Y/N)" he smiled.
"Where's Corbyn?" I asked, looking around.
"Gee I don't get a hi back?" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm working on a project that's due tonight and I need Corbyn" Daniel nodded.
"He's out, but you are free to stay in here until he gets back" he stated, moving to the side. I sighed and walked inside. I looked around at all of the Christmas decorations. They were so much more decorative than I was. They had a fully decorated tree, whilst I had one that went up to my thigh with lights and a few ornaments hung here and there. I noticed that they had mistletoe hanging in the doorway to the kitchen. I saw stockings and angels everywhere.
"Y'all should come help me decorate my dorm" I said turning to Daniel who sat on the couch. I walked over to him and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.
"I'd be down, I don't know about Corbyn though" he said then I heard another voice.
"About what?" I looked up from Daniel's shoulder and saw my other best friend. I smiled and got up to hug him.
"I need your help" I said and pulled him out of his room. I heard laughter and looked back to see Corbyn, smiling. There were a lot more guys in the hall and I slightly felt insecure about what I chose to wear. A T-shirt with baggy sweat pants and my hair was up in a messy bun (if you don't have long hair to put up in a bun, just imagine that it's super messy and hasn't been brushed through).
"Why are you in such a rush?" He asked, laughing, as I dodged a guy that I almost collided into.
"I ran out of pictures" is all that came out of my mouth. I didn't hear him at all the rest of the way to my dorm, which kinda scared me, cause he's normally always talking. I brushed it aside as we made it to my dorm and I unlocked the door, allowing the both of us to enter. Corbyn closed the door and glanced around my dorm.
"You need to decorate some more" is all he said.
"Yeah, that's what me and Daniel we're talking about" he followed me to my room as I was getting clothes to change into. He walked over to my nightstand where I had a picture of me, him, and Daniel from when we were younger.
"I didn't know that you and Daniel were dating" he randomly comments. I gave him a weird look.
"What makes you say that?" I ask. He doesn't turn and I wonder as to why.
"You guys were cuddling earlier, so I just figured that you were" he sounded...defeated...or something like that. I walked over to his tall figure, while putting my clothes on the bed. I put my hand on Corbyn's shoulder and tried looking him in the face, but he just turned away.
"Hey, look at me" he hesitated but looked anyway. I looked him in the eye as he did to me.
"We're not dating" his dark eyes seamed to lighten a little when I said those words.
"He's like a brother to me" his small smile falters and turns into a frown.
"Am I like a brother to you?" I hesitate. My heart beats fast as I think about the right words to say. I look down.
"One side of me is saying 'go for it' but the other side of me is too afraid to admit it" I whispered.
"Afraid to admit what?" I stopped and took the risk to look up into his eyes.
"It's too afraid to admit that I'm in love with you" he stops. We both do. He doesn't move or say anything and I suddenly feel aware of what just happened and what I'd done. I may have just ruined the very thing that I valued the most. Our friendship. I gently grabbed onto his arm.
"Please say something" I said as tears threatened to fall. He stood silent. I looked down as a single tear fell down my face.
"I'm sorry" I paused as I a took a shaky breath.
"I've ruined everything" I said, pausing to let a few more tears out. I fell onto my knees and let go of his arm, allowing mine to rest in my lap. I cried more tears, knowing he didn't feel the same. I heard shuffling then felt fingers lifting my chin up. I looked at Corbyn with tears in my eyes. He smiled.
"Let's get rid of these tears" I looked at him confused as he wiped my tears away.
"We can't have a beautiful girl crying, now can we?" He asked as he put his hands down by his side.
"What are you doing? I thought I ruined everything" I replied, but he just smiled.
"Sometimes you just have to wait for someone to get over shock first" I just looked at him. He laughed and put one hand on my cheek. He pulled my face closer and put our foreheads and noses together. He placed his other hand on the back of my neck with his thumb under my ear. I closed my eyes, taking in the silence. He moved, causing me to open my eyes, so his nose was beside mine. His eyes were still closed as he gently leaned forward and placed his soft lips onto mine. My eyes fluttered closed, enjoying the moment. Our lips moved perfectly in sync. It's like they were made for each other. And there wasn't necessarily fireworks or bombs exploding, but it felt right. He pulled away and was just inches from my face. He sat there, stunned, before smiling at me.
"Um...I...uh" I stuttered not knowing what to say. He just laughed and pecked my lips.
We'd crossed a border that cannot be uncrossed, but we didn't care.
And no I never finished or turned in my project that night.
