Silver was taking his usual afterschool stroll around campus. It helped him clear his mind and sort out his mixed up thoughts. Most of them were about his roommate and "best friend," Gold. As cheesy as it sounded, Silver had a crush on his longtime friend. It certainly was hard to get used to him at first, but the kid grew on ya.
He turned the corner to see the subject of his thoughts standing alone, leaning in that oh-so-tantalizing way he always did against the wall. The redhead swallowed. Maybe, maybe this was his chance to finally tell Gold his feelings. Silver stood there for a while to come up with an approach that wouldn't sound awkward. The best he could come up with was, "Gold. You know, we've been friends for a while…a bit too long if you ask me. You see. I like you. Like as in more than friends. I'm sorry if it's awkward between us now, being dorm-mates and everything…"
Just as Silver was going to walk towards him, Gold looked over and his eyes brightened. He raised a hand in greeting and Silver hesitantly returned it. The oncoming footprints made him realized that greeting was not for him. Silver turned around to see a girl rush past him.
"Sorry Gold, I was a bit late coming out of class."
"It's alright, babe. If I have to wait a million years for you, then I will."
"You're such a flirt."
He watched as Gold slipped his arm around her shoulders. He watched as they laughed happily with each other. He watched as Gold looked like he had no care in the world.
He watched as they walked away.
Silver stood there for a few minutes after they disappeared from view and turned around to go in the opposite direction.
Maybe he'll keep those thoughts as just dreams and just let that golden-eyed boy live his life.
