POV - Whitty

~

I stared outside from the couch.

If he doesn't like me, who could it even be?

I opened the door, when suddenly I heard a groggy "Whitty.. what are.. You doing up so late..?"

I saw Ruv, yet again without his jacket and very tired it seemed. "Going for a walk. What, you wanna come?"

"..I'd like that." he quickly got on his boots and followed me.

Ruv followed me, staying odly close. I glanced down for a moment while watching him. "You seem.. Stressed."

"-me? No, i'm not stressed, who's stressed? Not me." He blurted. I kept my eyes on him.

"...mhm, not stressed my ass." I picked up Ruv bridal style and kept walking like normal. Ruv stuttered. "Are-y-you carrying me-??" he asked. "Yep. Whacha gonna do about it?" I teased. He slumped into my grasp and sighed loudly. "..Nothing.." he uttered.
"That's what I thought."

Eventually, Ruv was nestled close into my hoodie and was slowly falling asleep. I sat down on a bench to catch my breath.

Then I sat there, thinking how I could ask him. Thinking how I could ask him who he liked or what he thought about me or.. I was overthinking again.

So I bit my lip and went for it, like my own advice.
"..Hey Ruv?"

He opened a tired eye to show he was listening.

"...D-do you like me?" I asked.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I be here?" he answered. "No, that's n-not what I mean..." I mumbled. "Then what do you mean?" He stared, now both of his eyes open.

I stuttered and tripped over my words, my face covered in orange blush

"...I um.. I- can't.. I mean, d-do you like.... I can't say it, i'm too flustered..!" I huffed a little angrily. Ruv made a sound that seemed like a short laugh and a sigh mixed. He didn't seem to smile at all, though. "You're cute when you're angry.." He told me, placing his hand on my face.

His eyes were closed tight. It reminded me of a cat I used to have that couldn't purr, so he just shut his eyes tight like larger cats when he was happy.. Maybe that's how Ruv interpreted his smiles.
It was pretty adorable.

He looked like he was thinking. Suddenly, his eyes widened, like he had an idea. "If you can't say it, do you mind showing me instead..?" he asked. I froze a little. How could I show him? Suddenly, my brain came up with an idea.

A risky idea, but an idea at the least.

I breathed and sighed. "I can, but promise you won't get angry, please.." I told him. He nodded, a bit confused a little. "..k."

Here goes nothing...

I leaned close to his face, inhaled, and pressed his lips against mine.
