You Hear Him Talking to One of His Friends About You

Chris:
You and the rest of the boys were having a sleepover in the treehouse one night. You guys had spent hours running around in the empty lot and playing card games. There was lots of yelling, laughing, cursing each other out, and flipping each other off and you wouldn't have it any other way. Every now and then, while Chris was playing a game of cards against Teddy, or having a conversation with Vern, he would look over at you and smile. You would always smile back. You loved when Chris did that as it made you fall for him all over again.

Eventually, it was time for you guys to go to sleep and you all settled on top of the blankets and pillows you had set up on the floor. Teddy and Vern passed out quickly, and you were slowly starting to doze off when you heard Gordie say something to Chris.

"Dang Chris, talk about being lovesick," Gordie teased, "You were giving y/n goo-goo eyes all night."

"Shut up, Lachance," Chris replied.

Gordie chuckled at this before asking his friend, "You're real happy, ain't ya, Chris?"

"Yeah, I am," Chris responded happily, "It's the happiest I've ever been."

You could feel him look at you. Your back was turned to him as you lied down, and you kept it that way, pretending to be asleep.

Chris continued, "You know something, Gordie, for the longest time I thought I'd never find somebody. I didn't think anyone would accept me. Y/n's different, though. She doesn't care about my last name, or what I've done wrong before. She knows who I really am and she likes me for that. She doesn't just like me for who I am, she helps me be better. She's just amazing."

"That's awesome," Gordie said, "I'm happy for you, I really am."

"Thanks, dude," Chris said.

You felt Chris lay down next to you and wrap an arm around your waist. You turned around and kissed our boyfriend.

"You're amazing too, Chris," you said.

Despite the fact that it was pitch black out, you could see that Chris was blushing. He was smiling, nonetheless.

Chris asked you, "You heard all that, didn't you."

You nodded, "You're so sweet."

"Well, it's true," Chris told you, "You make me so happy."

"Good," you responded, "You deserve to be happy."

You and Chris fell asleep in each other's arms, smiles on both of your faces. You repeated Chris's words in your head. The fact that Chris felt that way about you made you feel like you were floating, and it was the best feeling in the world.

Gordie:
You were getting ready to go to lunch and were walking down to meet Gordie at his locker. You turned the corner and saw Vern and Gordie having what seemed to be a pretty intense conversation.

"Gordie, I need your help!" Vern yelled.

You stayed at the end of the hallway, not wanting to interrupt the conversation.

Gordie chuckled slightly before telling his friend, "I'm trying, Verno. But you're being really over dramatic right now."

"I can't help it!" Vern exclaimed, "I really like Sally, sincerely, and I want her to like me back!"

"So why don't you just ask her out, then?" Gordie asked.

Vern quickly responded by saying, "Because she's way out of my league!"

Gordie then asked, "So what do you want me to do about it?"

"You have a girlfriend who's way out of your league," Vern said, "I want your advice! How did you get y/n to like you?"
