The accidentally saying i love you prompt with Aman 👉👈🥺💖
Sure, writing this with the route where mc also had a crush ❤️
The both of you sat by the water, his legs crossed while yours dangled from the pier, idly swinging as you both watched the water, “Have you seen any this year?”
“Mhm,” Aman hums with a slight nod, “A couple, one has a pup.” He looked over at you with a smile, the expression warming your heart as you mirrored him.
Aman’s never really explained his fascination with sea otters, aside from a simple: I just think they’re neat. But here you were, sitting out on the pier trying to catch sight of any, sun setting low in the horizon.
You both remained there, pointing out to each other when you saw seals and otters. It was beginning to turn evening when you spotted one seal, trying to find a way on one of the fishing boats, hoping for an easy meal.
You turned to point it out to Aman, but found him looking at you instead, a warm smile lighting his features despite being caught staring, “What?” You asked, amused by the dopey look on his face.
He didn’t seem to quite catch what you asked, but his eyes did drop to your lips briefly as you spoke, “God, I love you.” The words were breathed out under his voice, a thought spoken aloud. Aman’s widening eyes met your own, the realization he had said it catching up to him, “I, uh-“
You yourself were still trying to process his words, the tone of his voice making it clear he meant more than a platonic love, “You love me? As in, in love with me?” You question.
His expression twists from surprise, a pained looked on his face as he looked out over the water, voice barely audible, “Yeah, MC.” He admits, a quiet laugh following, “Have been for a couple years now.”
“You-“ Any attempt at talking fell away from you, watching Aman avoid your eyes, his fingers worrying at the ring on his hand, “Why didn’t you mention anything?” You ask, brow furrowing.
Aman gives a half hearted shrug, “How would I? ‘Hey I know we’re best friends but I’m sorta, kinda in love with you’?” He asks, incredulous, causing a laugh to break from you.
“Yes!” You continue to laugh as his eyebrows shoot upwards, clearly not expecting the answer, “If I had known sooner, it would have made things a lot easier.” You move closer as you speak, Aman watching you curiously as you rest a hand along his jaw, the contact making him swallow heavily.
“Oh-“ He gives a gruff laugh, clearing his throat as he met your gaze, “I didn’t really think I had a chance-“
“Then you are fool.” You cut him off, leaning forward to press a chaste kiss against his forehead, “Because you do.”
