    Luke rushed up the stairs, two at a time, trying to hide his smile. Swinging his bedroom door open, he took off his bag and dumped it by his desk, giving the door I slight push to shut it once more. He'd been waiting all day to get home and relax - Well, after all his homework was done. Luke started up his laptop and tapped his fingers on the wooden desk as he waited. When he was finally logged in, he began to open up his half-finished essay, until a flashing notification caught his attention. Lily's online, he thought, the smile returning to his face.

    Lily had been home for an hour already, her time zone being an hour ahead of Luke's, so she was already working on her homework. Occasionally, she'd get distracted with a game or two, but when she noticed that it was getting closer and closer to the time that she was sure Luke would get online, she couldn't help but to get a little anxious. When the notification that Luke was online flashed on the screen, a grin found its way to her lips and she was quick to send him a message: Right on time, Luke!

    Luke brought up the chat box and sent her a message: Hey, Lily! How's it going? His heart always went crazy when he messaged her. He would act on it, but... No way someone like her was interested, right? Luke just existed, but Lily was sweet and smart. She was everything. He could never tell her that, though. Luke would hate to never talk to her again, especially if it was his fault. He'd just wait, and talk, and be good to her.

    Lily chewed on her lower lip at the sight of the message. Most of the time, she was always anxious and nervous when talking to Luke, as if self-conscious about how to reply to him without seeming like some weirdo. Oh, the usual! Homework, distracting myself with Solitaire, so on. You? She nervously fiddled with her hands while waiting for a reply, but smiled to herself nonetheless. Luke was probably the only person that she could talk so easily with - anybody else she talked to, it was always odd. She didn't enjoy talking to others as much as him, which she didn't fully understand, but she tried not to think too much into it, for fear of making things awkward.

    Luke's fingers hovered above the keyboard, trying to figure out what to say. I just got home. I need to finish an essay for English but I have no idea what to do. I'd rather talk to you, though. He sent the message, then his heart started beating fast. He always wondered how Lily would react. He didn't want to screw up.

    Lily felt her eyes widen slightly, the pace of her heartbeat picking up in the way it usually did when talking to Luke. She was almost certain her cheeks were burning with a blush and was glad that he couldn't see it. The feeling's mutual. she sent before chewing on her lip and quickly adding something else, because she was worried about how odd the first part of her reply might be. What is the essay about?

    Luke grinned at her first message, rubbing the back of his neck. It's just about a book I read. Nothing too hard, I just can't concentrate. You know me. He started to type another message: So... I wanted to ask you something.... He stared at it, then sighed, backspacing until the text box was blank again. He couldn't it was too random, and she would say no.

    Lily was already ready to start replying to the first message, but when she saw that there was a flashing signal that Luke was typing again, she paused, waiting. Only nothing came and she couldn't help but to be slightly curious about what he had been typing, but she avoided asking. If it's a book for English, it was probably boring anyways. Don't quote me on that, though; I don't want to be a bad influence. She grinned after sending it, wondering if it would be amusing at all to him.

    Luke laughed quietly at her message, then slowly started to type. You're not a bad influence, Lily. You're amazing.. He sent the message, then shut his eyes. Should he? He couldn't keep hesitating. Can I... ask you something? A little personal, I guess. You don't have to answer or anything.

    Lily rubbed at her face in an attempt to rid herself of the blush that she knew was tainting her cheeks before she started typing. I'm glad you think so. You're pretty amazing, too! She hesitated before she sent the message, though it took her a moment to realize that there was another message from Luke and she couldn't help but grow curious as to what he could want to ask. Go ahead, ask away.

    Luke's heart sped up. What if she said no? He decided to build up to it. Baby steps. Thanks. Hope no boyfriend of yours is going to beat me up for saying that.. There, that's a casual way of asking if she's single... right? Luke bit his lip. What if she did have a boyfriend? Then he'd be the supportive friend she'd always wanted him to be. Of course some guy would grab Lily's attention. Or rather, she would grab their attention. He'd be the luckiest guy to be with her.

    Lily blinked as she stared at the screen. Luke thought she had a boyfriend? Had she given any false signs that she had one? Or was he just assuming. Regardless of the reason for mentioning a boyfriend, she wasn't going to let him assume she had one when she didn't. Well, since I'm boyfriend-less, you don't have to worry about that. She sighed after sending it, trying to be patient while she waited, but being a bit more anxious than usual.

    Really? How does a girl as great as you not have a boyfriend?Luke sent the message, then said "fuck it." No point in waiting, right? So, um... Have you ever thought about us? Like, being more than friends? I was just wondering. He turned bright red and shut his eyes. He didn't want to watch. He just wanted to wait until he heard the notification.

    Because most people I know aren't really all that interesting to me. Lily sent the message almost immediately, because it was true. Nobody could keep her interest - except Luke. When she saw the other message, though, she felt her cheeks heat up darkly and she hesitated for a moment before typing out another reply. Honestly? Yeah, I have, a lot. After sending it, she scooted away from the laptop for a moment, almost worried about the response she might get.

    Luke heard the notification. He opened his eyes and saw the reply. He grinned, rolling his chair backwards. His heart skipped a beat as he moved closer to the laptop again. I have too! I was just nervous to ask because I didn't think I was good enough and you wouldn't be interested. Unless... you aren't interested? He realised thinking about something didn't necessarily mean it's what you wanted. Luke didn't want to jump to conclusions.

    Lily, admittedly, hadn't expected the next message. She had expected everything from his side to have been some joke or just plain curiosity. But, no, he had thought about it, too, and the news made her heart's pace quicken for a moment. Why would you think I'm not interested, Luke? You're a great guy, so of course I'm interested! She sent the message without hesitation this time - something she was proud of herself for.

    Really? So you would want to, you know... be my girlfriend? He sent the message. No hesitation, just furious butterflies in his stomach. More like moths, really. "Honey! Can you come help me with dinner?" His mother called from the kitchen. "Luke!" Luke looked from the door to the laptop screen. "Yeah, just give me a minute!" He called back. He had to see her answer, despite knowing what it was.

    Her breathing hitched in her throat, something that didn't normally happen to Lily. Her cheeks were flaming much darker than she could ever recall, but at least that was hidden. Without hesitating, she quickly typed up her reply. Of course I would! Who wouldn't, after all? She nearly cringed at the sound of a car door closing and glanced out her window, noticing that her older brother was home; great.

    Luke grinned, his heart slowing to regular speed. Okay... Okay! Great! I'm really glad! He wasn't quite sure what to say to her. As soon as he sent the message, his mother called out yet again. "Luke, come on!" Sorry, Ma needs some help with dinner. But I'll talk to you later, okay? Thanks, Lily. You mean a lot to me.. He logged off and walked downstairs, unable to hide the grin on his face.
