He hears the words spilling from her mouth, but the seriousness of what she’s saying doesn’t sink in until he sees the pink slither away from her lips, and then he’s almost flat on his back. Perhaps it was a new brand of foolishness, but for the longest time he’d considered the notion that his true feelings were much of a mystery to her. Yet now that she’s dragged it out into the open he’s a jumbled mess, unsure how to react. He’s never been called out so dramatically, so callously, that the strength to respond is nearly escaping him.
“Ah’ em…ah’d be an eejit tae say it wasnae from the minute ye opened yer door, minute ye lent me tha last a’yer beer…” He grumbles anxiously with a curl of his lip and lets his secret crawl out with his heart in his throat, pressing his palm down hard against the door.
she had known for quite some time that clyde had feelings for her . she could be oblivious about a lot of things , but that she was CERTAIN of --- he loved her . it was in his eyes when he looked at her . how he was always there for her when she needed him . even on the bad days . most men would have been long gone from either being pushed away or scared away . but it was clear that clyde was not one to easily SCARE --- perhaps she was just dealing with boys all along .
she smiles at him , a GENUINE smile of admiration . her heart leaped at his confession , she knew , but it was nice to have some confirmation . she didn’t say anything , instead she stood on the toes of her boots to reach him --- pomegranate stained lips press ever so gently to his .it was an intimate gesture , she looked at him , face only inches apart . ‘ you can have my beer anytime you want . ’
