Lying in your bed on a usual Thursday night, you were tossing and turning, not able to fall asleep even at two a.m.. Somehow it had been hard for you to get some proper sleep for the past nights, resulting in you being exhausted but still not able to sleep.

You let out a groan as you reached for your phone next to you. Pushing the call button next to the familiar name you only had to wait a few rings until the other person picked it up.

"What's up?" A sleepy voice mumbled.

"Sorry for waking you up, but I still can't seem to fall asleep and you told me I could always call you..."

"Of course you can always call me, Love." You smiled at Harrison calling you Love.

Harrison had been your best friend for years. You met at the "Kid's Club" when both of your families were on holiday at the same time and staying in the same hotel. If that wasn't fate enough, you soon learned that the blue eyed boy lived only minutes away from your home, leading to the two of you not only spending your holidays but also the other days being inseparable.

It's been about ten years since you first met and it was safe to say that the kid he used to be wasn't there any more. The boy grew up into a handsome young man, leaving you speechless for a split second every time you saw him.

Harrison introduced you to Tom only a few days after they first started talking. Years later, the blue eyed boy was travelling the world with him and you couldn't be prouder of the two of them. Nonetheless, Harrison being away for half of his life was always hard on you, but you refused to tell him. The boy was living his best life and he deserved every chance he could get to boost his own career.

"Wanna tell me what's been keeping you from sleeping?"

"I don't know. I'm so exhausted but my mind somehow doesn't want to shut up and then I lie awake for hours thinking about absolute bullshit." You groaned as you tossed to your side. "I just feel like my brain needs a day off."

"See, that's the reason I can sleep, my brain is always on a day off." You could almost see the boy's grin when he said that.

"You're an idiot." You chuckled.

"Come on, tell me about your day, maybe you just need to get some stuff off your mind."

You started telling him about your day as he threw in some funny remarks here and there. Talking to Harrison always made you feel like there were no other concerns in the world, like nothing mattered to him except for your own happiness.

"Thank you for listening to my stupid rambling." You smiled as you finished talking about your day.

"You know I'm always there for you. Although your days seems to be pretty boring." He laughed, "Now do me favour and open your front door, Love."

"What?"

"You ordered some cuddles, I'm here to deliver them." You could almost hear him grin as you got up from your bed to walk to your front door where you were met by the most beautiful eyes you had ever seen.

"Cuddles for (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?" He grinned as he opened his arms for you to dive into.

"Why are you here?" You mumbled against the boy's chest. He was in sweatpants and seemed to have put on the next shirt he could find because usually he was really picky about his outfits, but this time it didn't match one bit.

"You need some sleep, Beautiful. And I'm not going to let you be exhausted all day, especially when I'm around to cuddle you to sleep." He smiled as he kissed the top of your head.

"I somehow doubt it will help." You groaned as he walked you back to your bedroom.

"We'll see."

The two of you got comfortable in your bed. As soon as you lay down, Harrison pulled you into his arms, letting you rest your head on his chest. Listening to his heartbeat and his calming breathing, you felt your mind drift off to your daydreams about the boy.

You fell for your best friend about a year ago. It somehow happened slow and steady over the past years but at some point last year, you woke up next to him after your usual sleepover at his place and you couldn't help but stare at him as your heart went crazy, leaving you almost dizzy at the sight of him.

"How's cuddling working?" Harrison laughed when he realized that you were still wide awake.

"What do you think, genius?" You laughed as you moved your head to look up at him. Harrison's hand that was rested on your back found it's way to your hair, massaging your head.

"Are you sure there's nothing else on your mind?" He asked, looking down at you, as he traced your face with his other hand, "You really need some sleep."

You leaned into his touch and almost shivered as his finger traced the outline of your lips. It wasn't like Harrison wasn't able to calm you down enough to get you to sleep, it used to work all the time, but this time, you felt like he was the reason you weren't able to fall asleep. Thoughts about kissing his soft, pink lips flooded your mind whenever you closed your eyes. Pictures of him coming home and greeting you at the airport with a passionate kiss formed in your brain whenever you lay down.

You wanted his "I love you"'s to be more than just best friends telling each other they love each other. Your mind was filled with daydreams and wishes about Harrison falling in love with you, but that wasn't what kept you from falling asleep. It was the fear of losing your best friend over your stupid feelings, the fear of him not feeling the same for you and the fear of letting him break your heart.

"Alright, Love, you really need to tell me what's going on because you're scaring me right now." Harrison whispered as he saw a tear roll down your cheeks. You hadn't even realized that you were on the verge of crying until you felt his thumb wipe away the wetness on your face.

"Yeah, you can."

"No, you don't understand. I can't tell you." You mumbled as you turned around, your back now facing your best friend.

"(Y/N).." You felt his arms wrap back around you, "Please tell me. I'm honestly freaking out."

"No, I-I can't because, I-I can't lose you, Harrison." You choked out as another tear escaped your eye.

"Why would you think you're going to lose me? Come on, Love. You're never going to lose me. As much as I hate to tell you, but I think you're stuck with me for the rest of your life." You felt him grin as he kissed the soft skin on your shoulder, sending fireworks through your whole body.

"I-I love you, okay? Now tell me again I won't fucking lose you." You groaned as you pushed his hand away, burying your face in your pillow.

"I love you too." You heard him say as you let out another groan.

"No, Harrison. I love you as in "I have had feelings for you for the past year and it's starting to drive me crazy"."

"Yeah, I know and I still love you." You heard a giggle escape his lips as his arms wrapped around you, pulling you back into his arms.

"But, I'm still going to lose you someday. You're going to find someone better at some point and - and you're going to break my heart. Doesn't matter that I'm your best friend and you love me, but at some point in the future, you're going to rip my heart out, Osterfield." You mumbled as your face was resting in the crook of the boy's neck.

"Are you stupid or are you just simply not listening to what I am saying?" Harrison chuckled, making you lift your head to look at him for the first time after telling him that you had feelings for him, "(Y/N), I. Love. You. Too."

"What?"

"I said, I love you too. No best friend-"I love you", more like a "I've been in love with you for like five years"-thing." He smiled as your mouth seemed to have lost the ability to keep itself shut, "Oh god, please say something and tell me this wasn't you playing a prank on me, because if it was, I'm probably going to take back what I just said."

You couldn't help yourself but smile as you pulled the boy next to you closer until you finally met his soft lips in the middle.

"As much as I would love to continue this, Beautiful. I think you really need some sleep." Harrison laughed before your lips connected again.

"I love you, Harrison Osterfield."

Realizing that reality was finally better than the daydreams that kept you from falling asleep, you felt yourself drift off into a peaceful slumber next to not only your best friend, but also your future-boyfriend, future-fiancé and future-husband.
