Micky One Shot for Biz

“So I guess this is it then?” I mumble quietly to my best friend Dan who’s leaving for a half a year tour out of the country…

“Yeah I guess so,” he says with a touch of awkwardness in his voice.

We’ve known each other for years, hanging out every other day. Until he broke the news to me last night that he had to leave, leaving us with no time to spend our last few hours together. I take a glance at the big airport clock- 4am. I let out a big sigh.

Over the last year or so I’ve developed quite a crush on Dan, but I’ve never told him, and now…it’s too late.

“I’ll promise to call you, txt you, skype you whenever I’m free, okay best friend?” He gives me a wink.

‘Best friend’…We’ve called each other that all our lives. I wish he knew how much I liked him more than a best friend.

Tears start welling up in my eyes as he pulls me in for a tight hug.

“Biz…There’s um, one more thing I want to tell you,” he says, his voice shaky.

I look up at him curiously.

“I don’t know how to put this…” He trails off for a few seconds. “I think-“

“Dan! We gotta check-in, now! Or we’ll miss the flight!” Micky interrupts, tugging at Dan’s arm.

A look of panic shows on Dan’s face, before changing to a sad expression.

“It’s okay, you can’t miss the flight. Go, you can tell me over txt,” I smile weakly.

We struggle through another long goodbye, as he goes to check-in. We wave a last goodbye, before he walks through the huge automatic doors.

Everything suddenly hits me hard, he feeling finally sinking in. Dan’s gone. For half a year before I can see him again.

I walk over to one of the airport benches, taking a seat as the tears start to fall from my eyes, everything and everyone around me seeming to slow down.

I told myself not to get attached, not to develop feelings for him- but I have. I replay in my mind all the fun memories we went through together, a sense of nostalgia quickly rushing through me.

Is it weird I already miss him? Everything feels so empty and cold now.

I should’ve told him right then when we were saying goodbye, I should’ve told him that I liked him, now I have to wait a whole 6 months. If only we could rewind time just that little bit…

I don’t want to miss him like this; I don’t want to need him like this, knowing he’ll be somewhere else in the world.

I take out my phone, holding it tightly for no apparent reason. 4:20- The time their flight takes off. On cue, I look out the big glass window to see their plane take off; as I feel my heart sink. The tears stream more rapidly now, as I look out the window.

Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder.

“Biz? You’re still here?” A familiar voice questions.

My head shoots up to find myself looking into the familiar eyes of Dan.

“What? Dan! Why are you here, I thought your plane already left!” I say, confused as to how he even got himself out here from all the customs.

“It has left, I couldn’t get on the plane,” he gives me a half smile.

I shoot him another confused look, waiting for him to explain.

“It hit me hard the second I walked through those doors that I would be leaving you for 6 months, and I hadn’t told you what I wanted to. I arranged a flight for later this afternoon so we can spend some time together,” he grins.

“What was it you wanted to tell me?” I ask, butterflies filing into my stomach fast.

“I like you Biz, more than a best friend. I’ve been trying to tell you for a while now, but couldn’t find the right time. It wasn’t until last night when I finally realised I wouldn’t be able to see you for half a year, and that I’ll actually really miss you. I don’t even know whether you feel the same way, I-” I stop his rambling by leaning in to kiss him. I feel him smile against my lips as our lips move in sync, igniting the fireworks. He runs his fingers through my hair as he deepens the kiss. Pulling out a few seconds later leaving us both breathless.

“I like you too Dan,” I say, biting my lip.

I chuckle as he lets out a sigh of relief.

“I know long distance relationships can be hard, but promise me we’ll try?” He asks, his voice full of determination. I nod my head in full agreement.

“So what do you say we have our first date today? Before I leave?” He asks happily.

“I’d love that,” I reply.

I feel his fingers interlocking with mine, as we walk out of the airport to spend a few hours together; feeling as if everything has just fallen perfectly in its place.
