billy's pov:
i walk over to max's room, just to ask a question. i knock on the door once, and she opens it. "hi max i have a question," i say, though right as i open my mouth she visibly tenses.

"yeah... what up?" she asks restocking her first aid kit, since she's trying to learn a new trick on her skateboard.

"so y/n's coming over you know who she is," i say and nods. "we're working on a project and... what are these?" i ask looking over at the pile of can tabs on her bedside table.

"can tabs?" she answers.

"yeah yeah i know but what do they mean?" i ask growing annoyed for no reason.

"well this one is for a hug. and this for a kiss. and there's one for fucking but i clearly don't have those," she says holding up each one as she talks about them. looking down and swinging her foot back and forth.

i knew what the fuck one looks like, but i thought they all mean that. "shit she's going to be here and three minutes," i say slightly panicked. max looks at me as if to say go on, so i do. "i like her," i get out and max just laughs. "what?" i ask annoyed at her reaction.

"you're freaking out because you have a crush?" she asks, i nod. "is it your crush?" she asks now serious. i look up and wipe my mouth with my hand, but nod nevertheless. "and you're coming to me for advice?" she asks, this one is more shellshocked then just gathering information.

"look i need help you're better at this than me. somehow," i mumble the somehow but she still hears it. "max please," i say now pleading, which makes her satisfied.

she agrees after a while and after some good advice i hear a knock on the door. i als ily get up to open it.

y/n's pov:
i knock on billy's door fiddling with can tabs in my pocket. i know that what i'm doing is weird, and no one would really do it unless they're in a cute relationship. but me? i'm desperate. right as i turn to leave the door opens. "hello," i say with a huge smile.

"hi," he says with a smile matching mine. "so.." he says and i look up at him. he's cute when he's awkward. "we can go to my room and work on the project," he says and i nod. i follow him up to his room and his sister smirks at him. he flips her off.

we finally get to his room and i look around. "nice place," i say with a small smile. he nods and we sit on his. i go into my bag and grab markers and index cards. he gets tape and poster board. as we're working i can't stop looking at him.

"you okay?" i head him say and i lightly blush.

"uhm yeah," i say returning to the project. i sigh then turn to him. he looks at me confused. "billy," i start not knowing if i can finish this through, but in too deep. plus, i have his full attention. "billy, i like you," i say cringing at the thought of rejection.

"y/n," he starts smiling at me as he copies my actions. "y/n, i like you too," i let out a sigh of relief not knowing i was holding my breath.

i grin and reach into my pocket, hoping he'll find it cute. i pull out a can tab, the kiss tab. he notices the tab and smiles at me. "i'm sorry, if you don't want you..." i start but he cuts me off with a kiss.

"let's go!" i hear max yell from the hall, billy and i breaks away him blushing more than me. i find it adorable. "sorry sorry," she says and runs outside with her first aid kit and skateboard.

"sorry about her she's annoying," he takes a breath to say more but i. it him off with a peck on the lips. because i'm allowed to do that now right? i guess i am. he smiles and makes me fall on top of him holding me close on his bed. i blush at this but he keeps me close to him. "are you okay with this?" he asks and i nod. he smiles and kisses the top of my head.

billy's pov:
i look down at y/n laying on my beach wondering if i should ask her to be my girlfriend or not. i choose the latter and ask her the question. "hey y/n," i say looking down at her.

"yeah billy?" she asks and her expression makes my stomach do a backflip.

"will you be my uhm girlfriend?" i ask rushing the last part out.

"are you kidding?! yes!" she says trying to control her enthusiasm, but failing. i chuckle at that and i kiss her head again. we stay like this for a while, not even nothing to finish up our project. the project that we barely even started in the first place.
