ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

My Hope 10

Hope's POV

Kit looks lost,

He is smiling at me but there is something afar in his eyes.

Something unknown yet very known.

Something unreal yet too very real.

Did I say something which caused this?

Or something else happened.

Last few days, he hasn't been much talkative.

Though, it has been like this, for much of our lives.

But these days, his smile doesn't reach his eyes.

I wonder if he has fallen in love.

I wonder if she is nice to him.

Cause, he is the best guy, a girl can dream of,

Cause, he is the best guy, possible.

I ask him, "Are you fine?"

He mutters something and hugs me instantly,

It felt,

Like he needs a touch to soothe his fire

Like he needs care to pacify his rage

Like he needs proximity for those unknown yet known reasons

Like he was powerless.

And in that embrace he says,

" Till you are " 

A drip of wet trail falls on my back,

Then in moments he releases me and says,

"Your Favourite pies? My treat"

He points towards the deserted road and starts walking.

I walk along still playing him over in my mind,

And suddenly, it strikes me.

Those were tears.

What if?

My best friend,

The best guy in the world,

My childhood crush,

Has fallen for me????

Isn't it too late as I already am in love with Nik, insanely?
