Chapter Text
Caramel - Conan Gray
Me and Brando were waiting for the bus back to our street, when my heart started beating faster than it should … After the wheels of the old, rusty bus arrived i ran on board and quickly found a seat in the back, all by myself. why was my heart beating so fast!? I tried to steady my breathing but every time i looked up at Brando my heart explodes and butterflies loop in my stomach.
No. You can’t be feeling this way. He’s just a friend. Nothing more.
My heart was beating; faster. louder. unsteadier. This doesn’t usually happen around him though, so why today?
I finally reached my street and took a deep breath in, enjoying the fresh air, when i hear Brando step out the bus into the pathway. His cologne seeping into my nose, tingling my thoughts.
“Just me and you now, right Will?” He said to me.
He called me Will. He called me Will. WILL!! THAT’S A NICKNAME!
“Uh- yeah i guess!” I reply to him.
“So i’m hosting a party on Sunday, i thought we could use some of your company considering you’re the quiet theatre geek” Brandon tells me, ending his sentence while biting an apple.
“I- I guess i could come for a bit…” i reply , trying to ignore the geek bit ..
“Bet, see you then Will!”
“See you brando ..!”
I . Can’t . Believe . We . Just . Had . A . Full . Conversation .
I need air, i know i’m already outside but i can’t breathe. I watch Brando walk into the distance, opening his house door and smiling at his mum.
I wish i had a nice family relationship.
No Wilson, stop complaining, it won’t get you anywhere. You just need a friend’s house to stay at one day.. I watch Brando walk inside from a distance. I then copy his moves by stepping into my home, my cigarette and beer filled home.
