I nervously walked up to the front porch, belonging to the home of someone I'd grown to love so much. I couldn't describe the way I felt for someone who was meant to be my best friend. All I knew was that I wanted them to be more than my best friend.

I knocked, my heart counting down the seconds with each pounding beat. I ran a hand through my dark black hair before stuffing my hands in my pockets to hide how much they were shaking. The door finally opened and revealed bright green hair and stunning blue eyes, making my heart flutter for a moment.

"Mark? What are you doing here?" His voice asked, sounding happy through his confusion. I forced my eyes away from his, afraid I'd get lost if I stared any longer.

"Well, I have to tell you something," I said, my voice shaking with how nervous I was. Jack frowned slightly, tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"What is it? You look nervous as hell," he pointed out, making the anxiety grow inside me. Was it really that obvious? Of coarse it was or he wouldn't have noticed.

"It's because I am. Can I come in?" I asked, hoping to stall for a few moments more.

"Sure. Come on in Mark," Jack said, his smile returning as a sign of support. It made me smile myself as I stepped inside, heading to the living room where I leant gainst a wall, too nervous to sit down.

"So what is it you wanted to tell me?" He asked, concern hidden amongst his normal cheerful voice.

"Well, we've been friends since forever and I couldn't have wished for any one else to have grown up with. You've been there for me as much as I've been there for you and I have that feeling to protect you as much as I feel safe with you. You make me feel things I don't understand as I just don't know how to describe it to you. I... I love you Jack," I said, the tension in me building up as he didn't respond.

"Mark. About time you tell me," he says, his smile widening.

"Wait, what?" I asked, confused by his statement.

"Silly, I love you too. I was just waiting for you to say it," He said, pulling me into a hug. I hesitantly hugged him back, taking a moment to peace everything together. I pulled away before leaning in and connecting our lips in a passionate kiss. I felt all my worries and problems wash away as he kissed me back.

We pulled away only to hold each other close, heads gently resting against one another. Our breath mixed together and created a warm comforting feeling against our faces. Jack suddenly shifted so his head was resting against my chest. I held him tighter, feeling complete with him in my arms.

"I love you," I reminded him, making sure he knew I meant it.

"I love you too. More than you know," he replied, his words full of passion and truth. I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with this amazing man I held so closely in my arms, not wanting to ever let go.

Well that was a little different to how I'm used to writing but hey, I did it. *pats self on back* go me.
