This is born from watching late-night Dawson's Creek reruns...I apologize but we draw inspiration from many convoluted sources.

While You Were Sleeping
Word count - 298
The lights were off as the end-titles of the movie faded to black leaving my room in a pale wash. Just enough light to see watch my best friend as she lay slumbering beside me.
Bella Swan had been a part of my life since we were six years old, and her mother Renee blew into town and blew back out leaving Bella with her father while she "found herself".
Her eyelashes fluttered against her flushed cheeks. Only Bella could blush in her sleep. I longed to delve inside her mind and find out exactly what - or who - she saw saw. I was in complete stalker mode as I watched her, but I couldn't help it. I'd watched her every night she was in my bed. That was nothing new; Bella and I'd been sharing a bed for as long as we'd know each other.
Things'd changed though. I might have been fifteen, but I wasn't stupid. Waking up covered in cum after a dream involving Bella, naked and spread out in front of me was the first sign. I noticed things. Thinks like how her ass looked in a pair of skinny jeans, or how my fingers itched to run through her long, chestnut hair. Mostly, it was how I would get a stiffy every time she was near...like now.
She murmured in her sleep; unintelligible mutterings that made me love her more. Bella shuffled closer to me, some of her hair falling in her face. I gave into my wants and moved it back, so I could see her flushed cheeks again.
My beautiful best friend.
"The thing is, Bella Swan, I want to be more than friends."
I'd said the words so many times before. One day I would say them when she was awake.
I felt so...empty and hopeless at the end of this one. Do you think Edward ever says it when she is awake?
