“I like you,” I blurt out, and he gapes at me. “A lot. In a more than friends way. In a more than friends with benefits kind of way. I have feelings for you, and I can’t let you sleep next to me thinking this is purely platonic for me. It’s not. It hasn’t been for a while, I don’t think, but tonight solidified it. I’m so happy when you’re around, Reid. I… I miss you when you’re gone. I check my phone constantly to see if you’ve sent me a message. The time I get to spend with you is the best part of my day.”
