sorry, no i’m sorry. i’m just- im thinking bout how
THIS BOY GREW UP LOVING THIS GIRL
AND SHE REJECTED HIM FOR YEARS BECAUSE SHE WASN’T READY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM
UNTIL HE SAVED HER LIFE, BUT THEN HE DIDN’T WANT HER TO BE WITH HIM JUST OUT OF GRATITUDE SO HE LET HER GO
SO THEY WENT ON THEIR SEPARATE PATHS BURIED SOME FEELINGS FOR YEARS CONVINCED THEMSELVES TO STAY FRIENDS
UNTIL SHE FINALLY CONFESSED HER FEELINGS AND HE GOT THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS
AND TBH IT’S LEGENDARY ENOUGH.
AND NOW SHE’S ALL SWEPT UP IN LOVE AND THINKING ABOUT BEING A BENSON SOME DAY.
BUT ON TOP OF ALL THAT JUST FOR A MOMENT
FREDDIE-I-Guarantee-You-20-Years-From-Now-I-Will-Be-Carly’s-Second-Husband-BENSON, MR. iCARLY HIMSELF THOUGHT CARLY-I-Thought-You-Wanted-Me-to-Be-Your-Future-Wife-SHAY(-BENSON) WAS PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD
And I swear you can see him thinking he won at his own life in that moment.
LOOK, I’m just saying….that poor kid all those years ago could never have IMAGINED that feeling he just felt for about 8 seconds. Not in a million years. Little Freddie would have fainted if he could have seen this.
(…and then to find out it wasn’t true probably kinda hurt 😢)
You were the one who named the show in the first place and you were the one who told me I could do it on my own. You jumped in front of a taco truck to save my life. And then you said we should wait to date until the whole “hero” thing wore off except, Freddie, you’re still my hero. You’re the person who I can always count on. You’re the person who makes me laugh and you’re the person who pushes me to do the things that I need to do even when I really don’t want to. And since I’ve never actually said it and you deserve to hear it. I like you, Freddie Benson. And I want to be with you.
