-Ross' POV-

That night, I have to sleep alone. I didn't want to cause Max to be uncomfortable or in any more pain, so I would be sleeping by myself. I had a really hard time falling asleep since I was used to cuddling up against him, and the fact that I was worried about him made it worse.

I lie awake in bed, while Max was fast asleep. For the first time in awhile, I was alone with my thoughts, and that was never good. I went over all the things that can ever go wrong, and eventually, I'm quietly crying.

It's a good thing that Max is a heavy sleeper. I don't want to stress him out more than he already is. Finally, around one in the morning, I fall asleep.

"Wake up!"

But I just fell asleep two seconds ago?

"I got you food!"

Food sounds good... I think I can smell it...

"Do I have to drag you out of bed?"

I rise out of my cocoon of blankets, to see Max holding a plate of food which I assumed was for me. I rub my eyes, then see that he is standing on his hurt leg.

"Why are you standing up?! Doesn't it hurt?"

Max hands me the plate and some silverware, then sits down on his bed so that he's facing me.

"The pain isn't too bad now, walking on it is fine. Hurry up and eat, I got a lot planned today."

I eat my pancakes and munch on my bacon, while Max gets on his laptop and does some work. I finish eating, then start to get ready for the day.

"So today it's just gonna be us. I got a ton of stuff planned for us to do!"

-Max's POV-

The truth was, my leg still hurt like hell. However, I had planned for today to be the day I finally actually confess to Ross and ask him out. I wasn't going to let a hurt knee be an excuse, and I was determined to not whimp out.

My plan was to tour the island with him, show him everything that I could then confess when the day was coming to a close. I wanted to make sure that Ross was in a good mood, and I at least wanted to try and be romantic...

We spend the morning going to different shops, buying little souvenirs and things to remind us of this trip. We looked around for awhile longer, than decided to get lunch. We stop at a little cafe that served sandwiches.

"So how are you liking Hawaii?" Ross asks me, sliding into the booth across from me with his drink in hand.

"Dude, it's amazing. Like, all I imagined and more."

I take a bite out of my sandwich, which had almost everything the place had to offer on it.

"I'm happy that you're here, I feel a lot... safer I guess?"

"What do you mean?" I could feel myself heating up.

"I just feel like you care about me so much... I mean, I know that everyone at the offices does, but I feel like you care the most. I just feel really special and cared for when I'm around you."

I internally scream, trying not to show too much emotion.

"W-Well, that is true..."

I see Ross reach under the table, and gaze towards my arm. I stick my hand under the table, and he grabs my hand and squeezes it. At this point, I was about to cry because of all the emotions building up inside of me. Was this really happening?

Finally, we finish eating. Ross exits the building but as I'm about to leave I'm stopped by someone who worked there.

"Hey, just a question, are you two dating?" The lady asks, grinning.

"N-No actually, but hopefully soon."

The women looked pretty shocked.

"Damn, I though you guys were fucking married or something. Good luck man, you'll get him." She lightly punches my arm, then sends me out as I thank her.

"What's up?" Ross asks as I exit, and walk over to where we was standing.

"Oh nothing, she just wanted to ask me how the food was. Come on, let's go back to the hotel for a bit."

We arrive back at the hotel, where I finally get to sit down for awhile and not put so much weight on my leg. It hurt really fucking bad, but I didn't want to complain since it would cause Ross to worry.

After a few hours of hanging around, Adam texts me and lets me know that we're all going out for dinner in a few minutes. I tell Ross, then get ready.

We meet up with everyone, then go to some fancy restaurant which served Adam's favorite... sushi.

When we're finished, the sun is going down and it's starting to get chilly.

(A/N: IM GOING OVER THIS BEFORE I POST IT AND I PUT CHILI IM CRYING)

I suggest that we all go hang out at the beach, and everyone agrees.

The whole way there, I was panicking. I was going to do it. In probably less than an hour.

The weather is perfect when we arrive there, and there's just enough light left to see. The ocean and sky are a light shade of purple, and the clouds looks like cotton candy.

"H-Hey Ross, wanna go explore over there?" I point towards some rocks sitting near the ocean, far from where everyone else was going to be.

"Sure!" He replies, as he grabs my hand and we run over.

We sit on a large rock close enough to the water that we could stick out feet in it. I take off my shoes, as does Ross, and I set them on another rock.

We sit there in silence, watching the sun go down and kicking the water with our feet.

"Hey Max?"

"Yeah?"

"I have something to tell you."

My heart starts racing.

"I also have something to tell you. You go first."

"Well I'm kind of scared to tell you this, so please just listen until I'm done. Ever since you kissed me, I can't help but imagine us, well... dating. I've never actually dated anyone, but I think that I'm actually really in love with you. Everything's confusing since I thought I was straight, but apparently not. Cuddling with you and holding your hand just feels so right, and I just want you to know that I really like you... and want to be with you. Forever."

Holy shit. Did that.. actually happen? Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming.

"I-I'm sorry..." Ross is about to stand up, but I grab his arm and pull him towards me before he can.

"No, don't apologize. To be completely and brutally honest... I feel the exact same way. I was actually going to confess to you, like now. I've never loved someone so much, and I'm just... at a loss for words really with what you just said. Never in a million years would I think that someone would say that to me, but it happened."

We're obviously both shocked, as we sit there and stare into each other's eyes. I see an opportunity, so I take it. I lean in, and kiss him as passionately as I can, pouring all of my emotions into it. I had never felt so good in my life, and as I pull away, we're both crying like babies.

I wipe away his tears with my sleeve, as he does the same to me. I hug him as tight as I can, then ask the question I've kept locked away for awhile now.

"R-Ross... will you... be my boyfriend?"
