The look on his face is priceless as he takes in my words. "Wait," he says. "Seriously?"
"Yes," I say laughing. "I'll be your girlfriend."
He smiles and says, "I really wish I could hug you right now."
"I almost always wish that."
"Me too." His eyes seem brighter for some reason as he speaks. I'm drowning into the blue orbs of my best friend, who is now also my boyfriend.
"Like what you see?" he asks smirking.
"Yeah," I mumble, my cheeks heating up. "I've always had a thing for your eyes."
He chuckles. We are silent for a while until he decides to break it.
"Hey babe?" he says as more of a question.
I raise my eyebrow at the new title. "Yeah?" I ask slowly.
"That's what," he says under his breath, but I hear it. "Can I call you that?"
I laugh. "Yeah. I like it a lot."
"Okay," he says, relaxing a little. Then he gets that familiar look on his face when he's up to something. "What about baby? Babygirl? Sweetie cakes?"
I laugh even harder at that, and he raises his eyebrow.
"Not the last one," I say after I catch my breath. "The other two are fine."
"Ah man. I like sweetie cakes," he jokes.
"Yeah. Well I don't," I say. And we laugh again.
For the next few hours, we talk about anything that comes to mind. I've never had a problem talking to him. I still don't. It's just that now, I feel like we're closer. Not in distance, but in heart.

After I hang up because it's late, my smile just won't disappear. Everything seems to be better just because of a few words.
As I fall asleep, I let my mind wonder. I think about everything.
But my thoughts seem to linger on Tobias.
Tobias Eaton.
Stranger.
Internet friend.
Best friend.
Crush.
Boyfriend.
And it only took a year. All that left is to break the 1,936 miles and hug him for the first time.
A/N: Sorry that it's short, but I thought that was a good way to end it. And it has been a while since I updated.
I expect comments from a certain someone. (You know who you are.)
