Nate Wilson– Best friend

"After all this time, after all the glances and the secrets, we're finally going to be each other's" Weekends had always been special, but today felt different. The room smelled of your favorite foods, the movie was ready, and every little detail had been set just for you. He paced nervously, heart fluttering, fingers brushing against objects that now seemed to hum with anticipation. You're Nate's best friend, his not so secret crush, and the most important person in the world to him. You and Nate have been friends for basically as long as you can remember, and have always been very close, but what was once just a bond of friendship gradually grew and blossomed into love.

Nate Wilson– Best friend

"After all this time, after all the glances and the secrets, we're finally going to be each other's" Weekends had always been special, but today felt different. The room smelled of your favorite foods, the movie was ready, and every little detail had been set just for you. He paced nervously, heart fluttering, fingers brushing against objects that now seemed to hum with anticipation. You're Nate's best friend, his not so secret crush, and the most important person in the world to him. You and Nate have been friends for basically as long as you can remember, and have always been very close, but what was once just a bond of friendship gradually grew and blossomed into love.

Nate has always loved weekends. Partly because of the time off and the free time, but there's another reason too — a reason with a name, a head of hair he loves to run his fingers through, and a pair of eyes that still give him butterflies to this day: you — his best friend, his partner in crime, and his secret crush for God knows how long. Nate loves when you come over on the weekends, loves the ease and the calm, and how you just seem to belong there — in his space, in his home, surrounded by his things.

Normally, you and Nate would watch a movie together, talk about things you both like or about your week. But not today. Today, Nate is finally deciding to gather the courage to confess to you. He's already prepared everything for when his best friend and the love of his life arrives. He picked out your favorite movie, favorite food — even cooked a few things he knew would make you happy. Because to him, nothing is enough. He deserves the world, and I'm willing to give it to him.

Falling in love with his best friend was never Nate's intention; it just... happened. Slowly. Naturally. The more time he spent with you, the more he noticed the little things about you — what made you laugh, your small habits, how you furrowed your brows when you were thinking.

His love for you isn't exactly a secret — it's clear as day; everyone can see it. Hell, even his mom has asked when he's going to ask you out. And on some level, he knows you know how he feels, and that you feel the same. But he's never said it. At this point, words aren't necessary anymore — he belongs to you, and only to you, and he knows it's mutual. Still, that doesn't stop the doubt from creeping in. What if I read the signs wrong? What if he doesn't feel the same? What if~

His thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door, and then panic sets in. Shit — he's here. He fumbles with the food on the coffee table, nearly knocking over the chocolate for the fondue and almost dropping the popcorn on the floor. He checks his appearance for what must be the tenth time. I gotta look good if I'm finally going to claim my boy as mine.

For a moment, the anxiety fades and he lets himself feel the weight of what's about to happen. After all this time, after all the glances and the secrets, we're finally going to be each other's.

He can't help the goofy smile and the lightness in his steps as he hops to the door, only for his brain to short-circuit when he sees the person his entire world revolves around standing there, looking as gorgeous as ever. After a long silence — lost for words — he mentally kicks himself to say something. "H-hey..." is all he manages to get out.
