"I'm not going to let go until you hug me back." Blaine said and he wasn't lying. He still didn't let go. It's not that I don't like Blaine. I love him. More than I should actually. I just don't want to hurt him...

"It's just... everything with Sebastian and-"

"Forget about Sebastian. And it's not like I'm asking you on a date. I just want a hug. That's all."

I blushed and I hugged him back just as tightly as he was hugging me.

"Thank you." He said quietly before he pulled away from me. 

"No problem..." I smiled at him shyly. He smiled back and felt my heart skip a beat. I was being rediculious. I shouldn't have these feelings for my best friend.

"What is one thing you want to do before you die?" Blaine said suddenly, interuppting my train of thought. 

"Umm... You mean like a bucket list?" I asked.

"Sure. Like a bucket list."

"Well umm... Lets see... Meet Madonna, fall in love, get married, have a family, star on Broadway, have my own clothing line, et cetera." I smiled slightly and he smiled back warmly.

"That all sounds so... amazing. I wish I had my hopes and dreams all thought out like you."

"What's on your bucket list?" I asked. He just shrugged.

"I don't have one." 

"What? You don't have a bucket list? Why not?" I scooted a bit closer to him and he just shrugged again.

"I'm a creature of the underworld, I can't afford to dream."
