Search Results: staring at the sun

My guy friend and I are both taken and we talk openly about our respective relationships. We had a fight last week and weren't speaking but we had an all day school event today together. He texted me last night to say he didn't need a ride from me and that was the most we'd talked in days.

Normally we are always staring at each other but since the fight we hadn't made eye contact. I looked at him today when I saw that he'd made granola for me, which he knows I love, so I knew that was his apology.

Then all day he was winking, smiling, staring, making faces and joking with me. We shared a bottle of water at lunch and started hashing out our problems. Later we were passing notes and he was bumping into me and teasing me about walking next to him. We were sitting pressed against each other, like before our current fight. He told me he ditched me after a previous fight because he thought I was too mad at him to want to see him so he was giving me a break from him, some space he said. I didn't understand until then. I thought he was just being a jerk.

Before we went home he was calling me sweetie and darling and assumed I was watching his stuff. Then I said we'd talk on the bus ride home. He teased me about assuming he'd sit with me but we did and he said we could cuddle and put his arm around me. Then we had a great talk and sorted all our stuff out. The sun was behind him so I could actually see his irises. They're deep brown. I told him this and he asked me what color his eyes are. I said so dark brown that you can barely see the pupils. He agreed and said his gf was dumb and didn't know what color they were. They've been together almost eighteen months.

What's going on here? What's he want with me?
