Summary: Riley Matthews doesn't know what her heart is doing, but by God, she doesn't mind.
TBH I care so much about you
The leaves fall gracefully as a boy with a brown cap passes Riley on a bicycle. She giggles, spinning around happily. Her programming classes were hella hard, she moaned to Maya over the phone this morning, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle.
"How's Farkle?" Maya had asked her, and Riley was quick to get off the phone. The less people asked about her odd relationship with Farkle, the better.
Her cell dings, notifying Riley that Farkle was done with Chem. She walks the other direction, going to pick him up. She sees him chilling by the stairs, and she flies into his arms. He spins her around.
"It's a nice day." Riley comments.
"It's cloudy." Riley leans up to kiss his cheek.
"It's perfect."

They sit on their bench, drinking coffee they got from the Cafeteria. Farkle tells Riley about Ionic Compounds, and Riley listens dreamily. Riley tells Farkle about modules and call functions and he listens with a content smile on his face. Sometimes Riley thinks that picking Farkle Minkus as her roommate was the best decision she ever made.
Her hands are slightly cold and Farkle brinks them up to his lips, warming her hands for her.
Riley watches with her heart in her throat.

Riley passes her midterms, as does Farkle. In celebration she buys them matching white converse, and they write wonderful, loving messages on them. They wear them for a week.
It's almost Halloween, and instead of doing their yearly tradition of trick-or-treating, they stay inside and Riley makes candy. They listen to a Halloween playlist, drink hot chocolate, and play Sorry.
Riley sleepily lays her head on Farkle's shoulder as he decides on Death Note instead of a horror movie so Riley doesn't get scared. When she gets super sleepy, he moves them to his bed, her head on his chest.
He loves her with every fiber of his being. He can't imagine himself with anyone else.
He hopes she knows.
