Eddie's POV-
Everyday is the same. I get up, get ready, clean, then leave. I go to the coffee shop. Mainly to see him. He's so fascinating. How can he be so... Him? Is it love? Can I possibly be in, what we call, love with someone I have never talked to? Would he freak out? This world is dull yet he smiles. What causes his happiness? Everyday is repetitive yet he's still happy. I on the other hand am opposite. I smiled once, it's gone. I laughed once, it's gone. There is no reason for happiness right?
"E-excuse me?"
An intruder on my thoughts "yes"
"Y-you have b-been staring at me for the past 2 hours"
I looked up and saw him. The- the- happy one. His pale skin and brown hair frame him perfectly. His lips look soft and pink as he bites on his bottom one. His voice is calm and deep in a way
"I'm sorry" I suddenly felt embarrassed
"N-no!" He said "it's fine. I'm Aleks"
"I'm Eddie"
He sat across from me "so, you come here quite often right Eddie?"
I nodded "I come here because-" I stopped
"Because?"
"Because of you"
"Um, I'm sorry what?"
"Every time I'm here I see you. You make me come here" I explained "love made me come here daily"
"Love?"
"My love... For you"
He smiled "well, I'm happy you love me"
"Do you return the feelings?"
"I can't say I do... Yet"
"How can you?"
"Lets spend time together Eddie" he suggested "tomorrow morning, be here"
He winked at me then left, well then

The months went by the same, a date every day with Aleks. One day he didn't show up. I waited hours with no sign of my love. I went home and turned in the news. There was an accident (A/N: please don't hate me, it'll be better). I rushed to the hospital
"ALEKSANDR MARCHANT" I shouted as I got to the front desk
The lady smiled "you must be Eddie, he kept apologizing to you. Room 420, floor 4"
"Thank you" I got in the elevator and waited for my floor
Apologizing, why? When I heard a ding I stepped out and walked to room 420. I opened the door slowly and saw my Aleks laying on the hospital bed sleeping with slight snores escaping him. I sat next to him and held his hand. I stroked his cheek gently as tears fell. I know he's not dead but seeing him in a weak state hurts
"Eddie" he chuckled "why are you crying Hon?"
"I missed you" I said in a soft voice coming out as a whisper "I was worried"
He wiped my tears "no more tears"
I leaned into his touch and nodded
"Can you lay down with me?" He moved over
"Sure Aleks"
I laid next to him and he curled into me, tracing patterns on my hand
"You wanna know something Eddie?"
"What is it?"
"These past months have been this best for me" his eyes met mine "it's all because of you and honestly I could say I love you"
Happiness... This is happiness. Aleks is my happiness. A smile made its way on my lips
"I love you too" I held him close to me "I love you so much Aleks"
He giggled as we pulled apart
"Can you- can you kiss me?" He looked at my lips biting his own
I leaned down and met his lips. They were so soft as they moved perfectly with mine. We pulled apart and he smiled
"Are you happy baby?" He asked
"Yes" I replied smiling "happier than ever"
"I'm glad"
That day the nurse told me he could go home. I took him to my house and spent the day cuddling and saying I love you. Life went from a blank canvas to the brightest splash of colors
