This takes place when he and the guys were younger so around like the late 90s
It was summer time and we were all home from college. Even though we all went to different colleges, we stayed best friends and seen each other as much as we were able to.
Sal was, and had been since we were seven, my neighbor. We used to do everything together and then, the end of eighth grade happened. When everything changed. We got older, started catching feelings for people, went to different high schools. Then we stopped talking.
Around our sophomore year of high school, Sal introduced me to the guys and we all became the best of friends. Everything was great, and then I got a boyfriend. While the other guys were happy for me, Sal was not. It was like he was jealous. With Sal being mad at me, it made it harder to stay friends with the guys so I kinda stepped back and faded out of the friend group.
And that's how it was up until almost the end of high school. Up until senior prom. My date bailed on me and I had no one to go with. Sal went with me instead and we had a great time. We both apologized and became friends again.
That whole summer I got really close with the guys again, especially Sal. The night before I left for college was when everything changed. Sal and I were alone in my basement talking.
"I'm gonna really miss you when you leave tomorrow" he said as he turned to face me.
"Me too, but we'll see each other for holiday's" I replied as I noticed him glancing at my lips.
"Yeah...."
He paused for a moment and then he closed his eyes and leaned in. My face turned red as I realized what was happening and also leaned in. He was so close to kissing me, but my sister, who was supposed to be asleep came running down the stairs causing him to pull away.
I saw Sal in a completely different light after that and for the whole year of college I couldn't stop thinking about that night.
That leaves us where we are now. It was around ten at night and we just got done seeing a movie with the guys. Sal was in a mood and I was curious as to why.
"What's your problem? You've been grouchy all night" I asked as we walked down the street to our house's
"Nothing.."
"Sal..."
"......"
"Sal..."
"......"
"It's nothing, y/n.." he huffed
I moved in front of him, stopping him in his tracks and causing him to bump into me. I stared into his eyes as I waited for him to answer.
He sighed.
"It's just- I wanted to kiss you tonight since I messed up last time. And every time I had an opportunity to, I didn't do it and I'm just mad at myself, and..."
I cut him off by kissing him gently, taking him by surprise.
We pulled away but avoided each other's gaze.
"Wanna go watch a movie?" He asked, still not looking at me.
"Yes, I do" I replied, and we continued walking.
...........
We decided to watch y/f/m at his house. He was laying on the couch, on his back and I was laying on top of him.
"Y/n?" He asked, turning to look at me.
"Yeah?"
"Can I kiss you again?" He asked softly as he held my waist.
"Of course" I replied and he kissed me.
I could tell he was feeling less nervous because I felt him relax and deepen the kiss more.
After that we fell asleep.
A few hours later I woke up and looked at the clock on the wall. Three fifty four.
I gently tried to move Sal's arms so I could get up without waking him, but, the moment I moved, he stirred.
"Don't go.." he mumbled, half asleep.
I laid back down and he wrapped his arms around me again, cuddling me close to him.
