You entered Laurie's room to find him practising the piano, struggling with a particular part of the song he was playing.
He furrowed his brows at his failing fingers and decided to use them for another kind of art.
You watched as Laurie grabbed his small notebook and a pen, and started writing.
Tugging on a curtain to balance yourself, you accidentally tripped over the carpet. Laurie looked back at you but didn’t manage to see you, as you had rushed away as quickly as you could.
***
You had no idea, but on Christmas night, you would find out what the boy had written on the paper.
Everyone was gathered by the fireplace at the March sisters’ home, giving each other gifts to celebrate this night of being around loved ones.
You had written each person a poem about them. They contained things that reminded you of them, words of admiration and love.
One poem, in particular, stood out from the rest: the one dedicated to Laurie.
“I’m sure these don’t even compare to the collection Y/n must have of poems dedicated to Teddy…”, Jo said, smirking at you.
“I wish,” he frowned.
You handed him the poem, “she’s right…”
The same furrowed expression from earlier covered Laurie’s face, “what do you mean?”
You grabbed your personal notebook from your handbag and gave it to him.
“There. These are all of my poems,” you told him.
He went over all of them and stopped at the last page, which contained a big title handwritten in bold: Theodore.
Laurie read it quickly and couldn’t help but smile at your love confession.
He laughed and reached over to grab something inside his pocket. Taking out the folded paper, he opened it and decided to read it out loud to you.
“Y/n,
You feel like hot tea in a cold morning
You look like autumn at dawn
You talk like the angels in heaven
And you love like the Moon loves the Earth
And I hope I can be the one you love
So I can be the happiest to walk on this planet
Holding hands with my lover.”
He chuckled, “sorry, Y/n, I know this is far from the best but… it was just something I wrote about you once because… I feel like, even with all my failures, all my ups and downs, all the times I needed someone, you were there for me."
He held one of your hands gently, “you never judged me for anything, never condemned me for my mistakes. You held me when I needed someone. You were my shoulder to cry on. You were always there when no one else was. And I’m in love with you.”
For a moment, you forgot about anyone else in the room. Now it was just you and the boy you loved.
You grinned, “all the poems… all of them were about you, Laurie.”
You moved closer to him as he held you and kissed you softly. It all felt much longer than it actually was. When you backed away, you looked around and realised everyone had left you two alone.
Laughing nervously, your first instinct was to hug him the tightest you could, burying your face in his chest.
It was just you and him. You and the boy who loved you.
please please reblog if you liked it !!
