I was in a skype call with my crush.

"Gosh"! He commented as he glanced at his reflection, "In this light my eyes look so sparkly".

This was my chance.

"They always are" I replied casually.

He sat upright and froze, his eyes wide with shock.

"w-what"?! He eventually managed to stutter.

I should of repeated it. I shouldn't have done what I did next.

"Yeah... " I carried on

"... just like everybody else, because eyes are reflective..."

And goddammit, relief seemed to wash over him.

Stupid.

This. This, I can't even. I know the feeling. It hurts like fuck. But there will be so many more opportunities, ugh. This just hit me in the feels.
