Theo steps out of the rain walking towards you, you gasp as you see the boy you'd had a crush on in first grade emerge from the dark.

"Hello, y/n," he smirks, "long time, no see."
"Theo? What are you doing here?" You ask, standing under a bus shelter from the rain.
"I decided to come back, now that my parents don't control me anymore," a flicker of a smirk flashes across his lips, "and also, I missed your pretty face."
You feel your cheeks burn, "um," you laugh awkwardly, "what's the real reason you came back?"
Theo's smile falters, then he shrugs, "do I need a reason? Besides I'm not lying when I say I missed you, you were my first grade crush... and I guess those feelings just never went away."
"Me? You had a crush on me?" Your voice rises an octave.
"Yes," he steps closer to you so that you can see the glisten of rain on his face, "and now you're even prettier which makes my trip back here all worth while."
