You smiled, unlocking your phone and about to pass it over to the hot guy in front of you before Carter grabbed your arm and pulled you away and out of the front door.
"Hey Carter, you gotta stop cockblocking me," you joked, sliding your phone into your back pocket.
"Sorry," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"But - why is it so freaking cold?" you shivered and turned back towards the back door.
"Just take my jumper," Carter tugged it over his head, revealing a sliver of skin, before passing it over to you. You quickly slid it on, appreciating its warmth.
"Thanks Carts. But seriously, why do you keep interrupting me? Are you jealous? Why are you so jealous?" you smirked at him before laughing.
"I just don't want to lose my best friend," he said quietly, sitting down on the grass.
"Oh, Carter," you sighed, sitting down next to him and nestling into his side. "You're always going to be my best friend, even if I have a boyfriend, you know that. What's really wrong?"
"Umm, I don't really know how to say this so I guess I'm just going to say it. I, uh, I think I'm in love with you, and that scares the crap out of me," Carter looked at you anxiously.
"What?" you broke the silence.
"I'm in love with you," he breathed out.
"Since when because when I-" You'd known Carter you're entire life and he'd never shown any signs of being interested even though you always were.
"I think I always have been but I never realised it until a month ago. I don't know if you still feel the same way but I wanted you to know," Carter took your hand in his, rubbing slow circles on your wrist.
"I do, Carter, I really do feel the same way," you grinned. "But what made you realise?"
"It was when I went to your last game and that girl checked you and gave you a concussion and it made me really mad but not in a 'you hurt my best friend' way but more in a 'you hurt the love of my life and I will end you' way," he blushed deeply.
"Hey, Carter?"
"Yeah?"
"Whenever you get hurt I'm mad in a 'you hurt the love of my life and I will end you' way too," you smiled at him. He smiled back and the two of you remained silent for a while, listening to the sounds of laughter and music from the party but not wanting to go back inside. That was until it started raining and Carter stood up, offering you his hand to help you up too.
"Let's stay out here for a while," he murmured, wet hair sticking to his forehead.
"We're going to get soaked."
"It'll be just like when we were kids."
"Okay then," you wrapped your arms around Carter's waist as he opened his arms for you. Your wet clothes clung to your bodies as you swayed in the rain, occasionally laughing.
"(y/n)?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I kiss you?" Carter asked softly, looking down at you.
"What are you waiting for?" you smirked, giving him the green light. Going onto your tiptoes, Carter leaned down and captured your lips in a soft but passionate kiss. You slid a hand up to the back of his neck and Carter's tongue lightly traced your lower lip before nudging your lips open, causing you to moan quietly. When you finally pulled away, he rested his forehead against yours, staring into your eyes.
"Wow, Carter," you breathed out. "That was great and all but the only good kiss in the rain is-"
"The Spider-man one," he cut you off, chuckling. "I know."
"Dibs being Spider-man when we do it!"
"What? No. That's not fair. Come on, (y/n)," Carter whined.
"As your girlfriend, you have to let me do this."
"My girlfriend, eh?" he smirked.
"You've kissed me now so you're in for the long haul. I mean we're practically married now," you joked.
"I wouldn't mind that," Carter whispered too quietly for you to hear.
