You sit on the park bench in an anxious mood, your leg was bouncing, your heart was pounding and your stomach was in knots. You and Ringo had been friends since you were little kids, and you promised to support him in everything he ever did. If I do say so myself you were doing a pretty good job, you had been in love with him since the 8th grade but when he started cross-dressing you felt like those emotions would simmer down into a low flame atast but they were still a forest fire.
"I can't wait to see him.." So, in order to see if he would fall in love with the boy you, you made the hard choice to yourself begin cross dressing as a boy.
"(Y/N)! I have a surprise!" You hear Ringo's voice from behind you and you turn around in an excited gesture how you loved surprises. You were in a baggy denim button up shirt that was faded in some areas with a pair of those cute boy skinny but not jeans you liked so much, your hair was tied up like usual hiding under a benie. "Ringo~!" You wave and run up to him. But something was not right about him. He wasn't a her, he was a..He! He looked like a boy! His yellow sweater-vest and black jeans and that pink shaggy hair you had grown to love so, so much. He was a boy! Not that you cared, boy or girl you would always love him but this seeing the him behind the girl made your heart skip a beat, his big blue orbs looking happily at you as if nothing was different, the way he always looked at you !He was there standing right in front of you as an actual HE!
Snapping out of your happiness you hug him, "it's been so long!" You say happily squeezing him tightly.
"I know! You're just the same as always! Except maybe a bit more attractive, did you lose weight?" He jokes putting his hand in your hair.
"Did you grow? You're taller than me!" You laugh. "I think I must've then!" Ringo smiled.
"Not that I'm not super happy you have some free time and not that I'm not even happier you chose to give me your time, but did you need something or did you just wanna catch up?" You asked walking shoulder to shoulder with him down the sidewalk in a slow moving pace, your black sneakers making soft empty crunches whenever you step on a leaf.
"I have something to show you! Remember how I said I was going to get a super big house when we were in 4th grade?" Ringo asked.
"Of course I do, you wouldn't stop talking about it until you found the perfect one." You laugh and nod toward him.
"Well I bought one~!" He said in a sing-song voice in a torrent of excitement.
"You did?!" You asked happily slapping his shoulder. No matter how boy..ish? Boyish, you looked you stilled acted like a girl at heart.
"I did! I need to show it to you~!" He said clapping.
You were looking up at a large house, you knew he said big but this was not at all what you were expecting it to be.
"This really is huge!" You yell shocked.
"You think I could ever lie to you!?" Ringo half-pouted hitting your shoulder playfully. You laugh and hit him back, "can we go in?" You ask.
"No, we have to sit out here and look at it." He says sarcastically, "of course we can go in!" You nod happily and follow him inside, "it's a little messy but you know...deal." You look around, this place was not messy, your house was messy, his house was..not.
"This is not messy" You yell.
"Yes it is!"
"It's like cozy!" You argue.
"Same thing!"
"Nu-hu! My house is messy!" You say back starting to laugh, "this is like my dream house.." You say smiling.
"Is it?" Ringo asks looking at you shocked, "seems a little girly.." He says thoughtfully.
"Well...I am a girl.." You murmur.
"Well yes..but..hey, why did you start cross-dressing, not that it's a bad thing but.." Ringo looks at you. "Why do you wear it all the time?" He continues. You simply looked at him for a moment the answer filling your eyes.
Ringo looks back only to take a few steps towards you the moment after he regains himself. He didn't take his eyes off of you as he made his way towards you in small cautious steps.
You didn't let the look in your eyes float away, you wanted him to know, you weren't scared. If he didn't love you it would help you learn to just let it go. You would just need to let it go and find a new love. And there was only one way to find out if that was what you needed to do, so you took a small step towards him, then another.
"You...did this.." Ringo said under his breath so softly you could almost not hear him.
"For me..?" He reached his hand out and pulled your benine off your head. He tugged the elastic and let your unstyled hair frame your face perfectly. He leaned forward and unbuttoned the denim shirt and let it fall to the ground behind you leaving you in a black tank top. You feel his warm, soft hand caress your cheek lightly and softly with great care it was almost as if he was afraid of hurting you.
"Would you stay like this...for me?" He asked taking a step closer closing all the space between you leaving your faces so close you could hear, and feel his shallow breath.
"Would you love me if I did?" You ask, as all the tears you had been holding in all those years of being beside him and not being able to tell him you loved him fill your eyes dangerously close to spilling down your cheeks.
"I loved you before you did, I loved you when you did, and I'll love you no matter what." His big blue pools looked deeply back into your (E/C) colored eyes which were shimmering with tears.
"I'll love you too.." You say with a large tremor in your voice. All the tears, all of them anger, sadness, happiness, love all of them poured down your cheeks and you labeled the reason for your tears, relife. Relief, he loved you, you didn't need to let it go, you didn't need someone new, you didn't have to look at another closed door, for the first time in your life you looked straight into an open door a wide open door those doors were Ringo's arms telling you it was okay to be yourself. The real you, the one he fell in love with. You walk into his arms and lean onto him sobbing now, "Ringo.." You say in between hiccups.
"I know..It's okay.." he soothed putting his hand into your hair. "It's okay.." He coaxed the final tears out of your eyes. "You okay?" He asked combing your bangs gently out of you face with his fingers.
"Y-yeah.." You nod moving to wipe your cheeks.
"Hey," he wrapped his fingers around your wrist before they made it to your soaked cheeks, "that's my job now.." He whispered wiping your small cheeks with his thumbs. He straightened the fingers on both of his hands to cover your entire cheeks and leaned forward. He kissed you lightly. His lips against yours were soft and warm, you feel him take your hand and tangle your fingers together parting you lips slightly to take in a small breath, you do the same as he leans forward again.
"I love you.." You whisper in between warm kisses, everyone replayed a scene in the past where all you were thinking of was doing something like this with him, now that you were it was more amazing than you thought it would be.
"I love you too." He promised as he pulled you closer holding you by your waist. You tangled your fingers in his shaggy pink hair the way you always wanted to it was soft, just like you imagined it would be, and he was real, he was solid you felt him there you knew it was real. For the first time in your life you felt like somebody loved you the way you never had been loved.
"..Hey..I have a question.." Ringo said finished softly.
"What is it?" You ask, you were so happy right now you'd be willing to rob a bank with him if he asked you to do it.
"Which me do you like best..?" He asked looking at you seriously. You're eyes widen slightly as you stare back him.
"I.." You start still in a rather deep state of shock. Then, you let your expression soften as you stare at him with loving eyes no longer masked with friendship.
"Whichever you makes you happiest, that's the one I like best. You have to be happy, that all I want." You murmur.
"Ringo~!" You wave your heels tapping off the sidewalk in front of Satome academy your hair happily bouncing behind you. "(Y/N)!" He waves his long hair falling neatly about his waist. A few students stare at you as you stop in front of him only to hug him tightly. You kiss him quickly and sweetly and a sea of whispers erupts. You didn't care. Ringo looked happy so you were happy too.
