Her laugh echoed through the air. He knew just then and there, she was the one. He had known her for almost a year, yet never before had he thought of her as more than just a friend. But now... now all the memories of them laughing together overcame him.
She, on the other hand, knew it long ago. She had fallen in love with him almost the first time she set eyes on him. She had fallen in love with their friendship, with the way he was in her company. But now she was too busy to see the spark in his eyes. Her cheerful laugh filled the air again.
He jumped from the branch he was sitting on and went to her. There was no need for words, as they both knew she has recognised the look in his eyes. And all they did was smile at each other. And then he left.
She knew he was in his room. She entered without knocking. He was there, laying on his bed, waiting for her as if he knew she would come. And he did. He saw it in her eyes. He saw the happiness when he looked at her. As if she would have waited for his love forever.
He got up and walked to her... they looked each other in the eyes, without saying a word. And suddenly he put his hands on her cheeks, and leaned down to kiss her. And as they kissed the time stopped.
And that's how they confessed their love without a single word. They just knew.
