Break up

Romantic fluff.

"YOU'RE SO LAZY!!" My boyfriend yelled.
"I'M LAZY?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A JOB!!" I yelled back "WE ARE DONE, I'M LEAVING YOU!!"
He stopped, looking at me in shock.
"You're manipulative, mean and lazy. I want you to get out of my house!"
"Fine, hope you have fun with that curly haired friend of yours once I'm gone"
"I will"

He stormed out of the house and took his things with him.
We didn't live together but I usually paid most of his and my bills.

I called my best friend of 20 years, Ray Toro.
"Hey Y/N" he answered the phone.
His voice made me feel better.
"Hi Ray, so I know you're going to that party tonight and I was wondering if I could come with you. I need to distract myself"
"Why?"
"I broke up with my boyfriend"
I heard Ray gasp. "Really?" His tone of voice didn't change.
"Yeah" I sighed.
"Alright, I'll pick you up at 9"
"Can't wait, bye, love you"
"Love you too dude"
He hung up.

We throw the word 'love' platonically at each other all the time.
But it just feels better hearing it in a moment like this.
It was already 7 and I started getting ready for the party.
I threw on some jeans and a black button up.
I looked into the mirror and actually liked what I saw this time, with no insecure boyfriend making me feel bad about myself.

Ray walked straight into my house without knocking, like he always does.
"Let's go you lonely boy, the party is waiting"
"I'm coming" I chuckled. "Thanks for letting me join you"
"No problem dude" he smiled, giving me a side hug. "Everyone needs some quality party time with their best friend"

He took me to his car and drove us to an unknown house.
"I don't know exactly who's hosting the party but it's my old school friend's friend" he said, scratching the back of his head.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go in"
I grabbed his hand we went inside.

"Ay Toro! Nice to see ya!" Someone yelled.
Ray shook my hand off his and smiled into the direction of the voice.

To be completely honest Ray is really sweet and cute.
He has the purest smile I've ever seen.
And his body is built for hugging and guitar playing.
He has strong arms, big hands and he's tall.

"Y/N c'mon let's find a place to sit!" Ray said, pulling me by my hand.
"Yeah yeah" I nodded.
We found the couch but it was packed and we couldn't sit on the floor because it was full of trash and confetti.
"Over there" I pointed to a couple of armchairs in the corner.
I sat down in one of them and Ray sat in the other one.

I drank beer and Ray ate chips.
He couldn't drink because he was driving.
I saw a really tired looking girl near us and offered her my seat.
"Thank you so much, you're such a gentleman" she said.
"No problem" I smiled.

I was kinda drunk but not completely wasted so I just kinda stood next to Ray's chair and talked to him.
Almost falling from time to time.

"Hey do you need to sit?" Ray asked.
"I'm not taking your seat" I said.
"You can sit on my lap"
Before I could even think about it he pulled me onto his lap.
I felt his arms around my waist as he rested his head on my shoulder.
Like I said, his body is built for hugging so it was really comfortable.
"Why haven't we done this before?" I asked. "This is so comfy"
"I don't know" Ray sighed.

I rested my head on his shoulder. "You're very comfy"
"How many beers did you have?"
"Like 3, no 6" I said, grabbing another bottle from the table.
"How about you put that away and take a break?" Ray asked. "Okay?"
"Yeah" I smiled.
"Good" he ran his fingers through my hair.
I relaxed in his touch.

We've been giving each other head scratches for years but something about this felt different.
I leaned into Ray's touch, not wanting him to stop.
His hand fell back down to my waist.
"Ray?"
"Mhm?"
"Can I kiss you?"
He stayed quiet for a moment. "Yeah"
I grabbed his face and kissed him.
He kissed back.

He moved his hand onto my cheek.
I pulled away and placed my hand on his.
Then I kissed him again.
Ray pulled me closer to his body.
"You're all I've ever needed" I whispered. "And I never realized it"
"I love you"
Then he hugged me tightly. "I always have and I always will"
"I love you too"
He placed a kiss on my cheek and just held me.
