It was almost 7pm on Saturday and I was almost ready to go meet Tom before we went to the party. I had put on a stylish shirt along with a skirt (a little shorter than i usually wore) and a sandal with a medium heel. After finishing doing my outline, I take the bag with the gift and went down the stairs.
The day before I had found something in the mall, a chain with an amber stone as a pendant. The attendant of the store had told me it meant protection and calm, which I thought was perfect to give to Tom as a way to show that I was there to comfort him whenever he needed it.
As soon as I went downstairs my mother was already waiting for me to fill me with accessories (she always complained that I didn't "dress up" properly).
- You look beautiful! - She said putting a bracelet on my wrist and two rings on my fingers.
- Aw, thanks mom!- I said giving a kiss on her cheek. - I have to go, because I'm almost late, I don't know what time I'll be back, probably before midnight.
-Okay, If you need anything calls us and we'll go get you. - She said and I nodded waving to my father who was in the living room. - Give my birthday wishes to Thomas and a hi to Haz for me and take this pie to Nikki. - She handed me a bag with a pot as we walked down the stairs from the front door.
- Okay, bye mom! - I said and waved down the street.
After walking for less than 10 minutes I was in front of Tom's house, took a deep breath, went up the stairs to the entrance and knocked on the door. I heard some screams to open the door from the inside and a "messy hair" Harry wearing striped pajamas answered me.
- It's Y/n! - He yelled to the side. - Come in. - He said as he gave me space and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
- Are you ready to sleep? - I said pointing to his pajamas. - Actually it's time to children to be in bed, you're right. - and Harry stuck out his tongue.
- So funny. Since we're not old enough to go to the party with you guys, me, Sam and Paddy are going to play video games and watch movies, you know, boys night. - He said as if celebrating, putting a fist up.
- Got it. In fact, what I really wanted was to be with you guys watching movies, much better than a party. - I said as we arrived in the kitchen, where Nikki and Sam were preparing cookies.
- I doubt it, I can't wait to go out and have fun at night. Harry said and I shrugged.
- What can I do? I'm a old lady... - I laughed and greeted Nikki and Sam with a hug.
- I wish my children like to stay in home like you. -Nikki spoke as she took the cookie shape out of the oven.
- Well Nikki, I've already tried to get them on the right path, but they're too rebellious.- I said and Harry and Sam giggled. - My mother sent you apple pie. - I put the bag on the counter.
- Yay, your moms apple pie is delicious!- Sam said opening the bag and taking a fork to taste.
- Teenagers....I don't know what I do with these pests anymore.- Nikki said putting her hand on her hip and watching Harry and Sam fight to eat the pie.
- Did I hear pie?- Paddy came into the kitchen greeting me with our handshake, which I taught him since he was practically a baby, Paddy and I had our little bond, I was his defender when the older brothers made fun of him.
He stole Sam's fork and ran off as he and Harry ran after him screaming.
-Oh God…I don't deserve this.- Nikki laughed. - Honey, Tom is there in his room getting ready, if you want to go upstairs.
- Okay, I'll hurry him.- I said and she agreed, laughing. - By the way, you look amazing! I loved your outfit.
- Thank you Nikki! - I thanked going towards the stairs.
Once I got to the top I walked until I reached the end of the hallway where Tom's room was, knocking on the door.
- Tommy? Can I come in? - I asked and heard a "come in!" from the inside.
I opened the door and saw Tom in front of the mirror finishing his hair. He wore a basic white T-shirt and black jeans, along with a black all star with white laces. He looks beautiful, which made me miss a few heartbeats for a moment.
- Did you like it? - He asked turning to me and opening his arms looking at himself and then at me again.
- Perfect! I loved the all star- I said and he smiled.
- You not looking bad yourself either... New skirt? - He said looking me up and down making me feel my cheeks burning.
- It's old, but I've never used it, I left it for special dates.
- I felt honored now- he said and I laughed.
-Hey happy brithday! - I approached and hugged him feeling his delicious and intoxicating perfume. - Best wishes, I hope all your dreams come true. - I said still hugging him tight and closing my eyes feeling him kiss my cheek when we let go.
- Thank you mate, you and Haz are one of the best thinga in my life. - He said and I smiled seeing him smile back, and what a smile... Damn y/n! Stop thinking things that shouldn't be thought!!
-I have a present for you!-I said, delivering my bag in his hands.
- Yay!! - He got excited sitting on the bed to open it like a child on Christmas Day. -Wow!- he said taking the chain out of the box. - It's beautiful... Thank you so much darling, I love it! - and obviously I blushed even more with the pet name. Tom called all the women closest to him darling or love, which was normal, but whenever he said to me, for some reason, I felt a warm feeling in my heart...
- You're welcome Tommy, it's an amber stone to bring you protection and patience.
- Perfect, everything I need - he looked at me - I'll use it right now! It even matched my outifit- he said putting the chain around his neck and winking at me right after.
- I liked it, it looks amazing. - I said looking at him and he hugged me from the side.
- Hey, we have to go if we don't want to be late.- he said getting up and giving me his hand to get up too.
- Right. - I said, following him out of the room and down the stairs behind him.
- Mom? We're already going! - he yelled, taking the keys from the counter and Nicki appeared approaching.
- You two are rocking huh? Both look beautiful! My baby is already so grown... - she said squeezing one of Tom's cheeks making me laugh and he rolled his eyes.
- Mom...
- Okay, go ahead, and don't drink! Especially you young man - she said pointing at Tom with her intimidating finger. - And don't come back too late.
- Okay mom. I'm responsible.
- Yeah... I'm just more relieved, because the Y/n goes too, she's the only sane one of this "impossible trio." - and I made a face of "proud of myself", puffing out my chest.
-Ha-ha, yeah sure...- Tom replied and I hit his arm causing him to rub it pretending he was in pain.
- I'm the oldest and most responsible, Nikki is absolutely right. - I said and Nikki laughed.
- You said like you're very old, but it's only some months... - He start saying and I raised my hand ready to hit him again, making him shrink with fear. - Okay, okay... Now let's go, because we're already too late. - Tom said opening the door letting me through and we waved to Nikki.
We took an uber and arrived in 20 minutes in front of the party. It was a really nice house, Tom’s friend welcome us on the front door and lead us to the backward, into what appeared to be a small wood structure with a big window at the front, but when Tom and I walked in after passing the door, the place was a lot bigger than it looked. It had a lot tables around like a big saloon even with a dance floor and seemed to be very cozy. When we walked in you could hear an indie song playing in the background, which I really liked as it's one of my favorite styles. Passing through the door we already saw some familiar people seated, including Haz.
- Finally! The birthday boy arrived!- Tuwaine, one of the boys' friends, who eventually became mine too, stood up greeting Tom with a hug.
- Thanks mate.- Tom said returning the hug and greeting the rest of the people who were at the table and I went after him greeting them too.
- Good to see you here Y/n! I know you're not a big fan of parties.- Tuwaine said as I sat between him and Haz.
- Well, it’s what we do for friends, right? - I laugh looking at Tom who was talking to some friends from the school.
An hour passed and everyone was drinking and talking happily. Tom sat at the end of the long table a little away from where I was with Haz and Tuwaine, so the 3 of us were talking nonsense and joking together.
Until a group of 4 girls arrived together, one of them I could recognize as being Gracie, a girl from the school, I didn't know her very well, we were classmates, we did math together, but we never talked. And another face I knew well: Meghan. A girl who do theater with the boys and who was everyone's crush. Tom and Haz were always talking about her, but I had never talked to her for a long time, just the times I would meet the boys at the theater, we would say hello and goodbye and that was it. The only thing I knew was that Tom was in love with her since he was a child.
Obviously that made me a little jealous, which was ridiculous, because I didn't even know her very well and even though I felt something different for Tom for the past few months, it wasn't right for me to be jealous, he was my friend, that's all.
The girls approached the table and Tom got up to greet them.
-I'm glad you came!-I heard him say as he kissed Meghan's cheek and hugged the others. I could see Gracie looking in Haz's direction and look away quickly, which made me raise a curious eyebrow.
They sat down and I saw Meghan walking to the bar with Tom as they chatted excitedly. I looked away picking up my glass with a drink I didn't even know what it was anymore, taking a sip. I heard someone approaching and when I looked up I saw Gracie.
- Hi Haz! Good to see you. - She said and I saw Haz turn a little red.
- Good to see you too Gracie!- he said greeting her across the table.
- Do you guys know each other?- I asked looking from one to the other.
- Yes we did English together. - Haz said.
- You are Y/n aren't you? Do we do math together? - Gracie asked.
- Yes we do! Do you know Meghan too?
- Yes, she is a childhood friend of mine, as she said she was coming on Tom's birthday and didn't want to come alone me, Beverly and Paige came to accompany her.
- Got it, do you want to sit with us? - I said pointing to the chair in front of us.
- I wish, but the girls are already asking me to sit with them, we haven't seen each other for a while, you know, don't you want to go sit with us instead? - She said pointing to the other table where the other 3 girls were looking at her, calling her.
- It's a good idea. - Haz said and looked at me and Tuwaine who agreed, getting up.
So Gracie went in the front with Tuwaine behind her and me and Haz got a little further back, where I poked him.
- Why didn't you tell me you had a crush? - I asked like a whisper so that only he could hear me.
- It's not a crush... She's just a nice girl from my class, that's all. - he replied.
- Haz I know you.- I said and he rolled his eyes giggling.
We arrived at the table and stayed there talking and getting to know each other. The girls were really nice and cool, which I ended up getting along really well with them, especially Gracie, which was funny because we did a class together and we never even said hello to each other. In the meantime, Tom and Meghan had already returned from the bar with their drinks, where Meghan ended up finding a way to sit next to Tom at the other table, which I thought was a little weird, but I ignored it.
After a few minutes Tom approached our table.
- Hey guys, we’re going to the dance floor, do you guys want to?- he asked leaning between my chair and Haz.
Everyone ended up agreeing, getting up and following him to the dance floor, where Meghan and a few others at the other table were already dancing. The song Juicebox by The strokes starts playing, and everyone sang loudly. I was a little behind as I hated dancing, but I also joined in the singing, because Strokes was one of my favorite bands.
Soon after, the song Glockenspiel song by D.I.D started to play. We got even more excited and started jumping singing. I saw Haz approach Gracie, which made me smile, they looked cute together. So, I looked around and realized that I was in a corner alone, Tuwaine had already left for the middle of the floor super excited and the other girls were on the other side, talking to Marcos and Julian. I kept looking until I found Tom and Meghan, they were dancing very close and talking talking into each other's ears, laughing.
(Oh this town, it's so electric Since I got the feeling I can't shut down)
I lowered my eyes finding the ground very interesting for a moment, but I couldn't stand it and looked up again.
(Oh this town, it's so electric Since I got the feeling I can't shut down)
Which I regretted, because now they were kissing passionately.
(We are a mess, we are failures and we love it)
I felt my stomach starts to hurt, and my eyes fill with tears. Why did I feel this way? It was ridiculous and immature. Tom had already hooked up with other girls in front of me, why was it different now? Not understanding my feelings, the only thing I did was run away, I went outiside and went to the front of the house, leaving.
Maybe it was the drink? But I sat on a low wall and lowered my head to my knees and started to cry.

A better music post
I'll tag this one with music or sumn so it doesn't get lost in the plethora of tags I have.
The last time I tried to make a music post for my oc's everything was rushed and disorganized, but since today I'm in a writing mood, I'm going to try to make this post a lot more coherent.
I'm going to go down my playlist and pick a few songs to share (trying not to spoil my story in the process.) So, the earbuds are in and my hand's are ready.
Let's go!
Billy Joel, Vienna- Just re-added this song back to my playlist today, but when I heard it again I was like, 'oh my jeez. This song is to Dylan." Poor guy is always overworking himself as the leader of his team. Kid doesn't take the time to be a kid v_v
Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande, Faith- Yeah... animated motion picture soundtrack music. This song is for teenage Lillian. It's her being a heart throb with Stevie wonder impressing the ladies. Lmao don't ask how she was able to be in a song with Stevie wonder. She's a well known hero so it's possible. Also, unimportant detail but I imagine her in one of those like groovy jumpsuits from Austin powers lmao. "Groovy Baby"
EARFQUAKE but only my voice, SQUALAY- I already explained that I imagine Justin singing this. The pitchiness of the main vocal is so much Justin to me lmao. In my head he's goofing off with his cousins, and they all just decided to come together to sing this one night. they were supposed to be chilling, but oh well I guess lol. It's one of those "the boys at midnight' things. Y'know... like that meme.
I feel like I should mention that Justins cousins are African American (His adopted parents Nicole and Derek are African American) so when things like this happen, it doesn't matter, everybody is just being goofy together.
Anything but Ordinary, Avril Lavigne- IS IT ENOUGH TO LOVE, IS IT ENOUGH TO BREATH Yeah, I know I had this as a song I imagined with the blues during a blues daydream, but I also imagine either young Savannah or young Lillian singing this at a karaoke (more Lillian because she's more 'randumz quirky') And they are leading a crowd in the song. Yay <3 (The ending with the back vocals is just tooooo perfect.)
Back Door, STRAY KIDS- Hey! It's Kpop. Hello, kpop. I listen to so much kpop because it's the perfect montage/dance music. This is a montage of the girls being really cool. They are badass. This is more for Jenna though. She is verr badass. Perfect song for her fighting ego.
ANY SONG, ZICO- Justin because it's his vibe when he is a teenager. More laid back. Hey, I should really listen to the lyrics of this song because I have no idea what this song is about, but in my head, I imagine Justin is working in a restaurant and he's singing about trying to impress this girl he sees there but his boss is like 'Nah back to work kiddo.' So there is a lot of silliness of him trying to impress mystery girl despite his current situation.
Only problem is it doesn't sound vocally like Tennage justin :(
Can I Have This Dance, High School Musical 3- HELLO CHILDHOOD MOVIE. oh my gosh I was so in love with high school musical and Hannah Montana as a kid lmao. Anyway, I imagine this being a song soft, teenage Lillian is singing to Lyle because Lyle wants to dance with her after finding out she is the lead in the school musical and has to kiss another guy. Lyle isn't singing the male part though because to him well, 'singing is gay.' I dunno. It's too feminine to him. It's like dude, you're out here doing an entire waltz in the summer rain with a chick. How straight do things need to get.
How's it Going to Be, Third Eye Blind- This is not canon to my story at all. In the past weeks, I have been daydreaming a lot about Loomer AKA the ship that can never happen. I'll explain this in another post but that part where 'I wanna get myself back in again' is when Lillian and Boomer kiss.
i Just-
🏃‍♀️💨 sORRY
Permission to Dance, BTS- I don't care how mainstream this song is, this is perfect music for the people of Turmoil to put together video clips of their heroes being wholesome and saying thank you collectively. It will play on every Billboard and Television. The world will know how much Turmoil appreciates its heroes.
Everybody Dies, Billie Eilish- Is this spoiling? Teenage Bella and Jenna get your sad asses outta here.
Industry Baby, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow- Bella. Bella. Bella. Bella. BELLA-
Everybody Loves Me, One Republic- This song is dedicated to Justin, Manny, and Collin. I imagine it as an animation meme so it's very colorful and artistic (?). But yes Turmoil loves their skater boy, Sweetie pie and Goofball nerd.
DO or NOT, PENTAGON- Yay! More kpop! But I made a bit of an animatic on my youtube that uses this song >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vki0koOR8Y4 IT'S AN AU. And yes that is Lillian and Dylan. I will talk about the AU I was working on one day, but it was extremely bubbly and magical. Magical school girl shenanigans yee haw.
***SKIPPING RAPIDSONGS EDITS/REMIXES I MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK LATER TO EXPLAIN***
AFTER SCHOOL, WEEKLY- Okay. I love this song. It's so happy and bouncy so naturally, I would imagine a montage of the girls getting into adventurous mischief together that's cut way too perfectly in beat to the music. It sort of play's like a sitcom intro that's running too long in my head lol.
Shake it Off Mariah Carey- "I GOTTA CHICKEN ROOOOLL". My mom likes to remind my siblings and I that when we were younger we used to sing 'I gotta chicken roll' so one day I was listening to the song and I was like 'man it would be hilarious if the team sung this for fun as a group.' So yeah. It's Lillian leading the group as they sing Shake it off and man Lillian know's how to hit those high notes, she should invest in that.
But I imagine this scene with them being 12, the only people who aren't really all that invested are obviously Jenna and Dylan, but then a part of my brain was like 'EFF THAT. THIS IS A FAMILY THING, AND YOU'RE GONNA PARTICIPATE DAMMIT.' So Dylan is also goofy on a good day and Jenna...
she a tough cookie just give her time guys.
***
So there, 15 songs from my playlist. That was a lot easier than the other post I made :D
Hey, y'know you're really blessed when you can take a day off of work to do stuff like this. In actuality, my mom just came home from the hospital and I was not able to sleep at all before going off to work. Obviously I don't mind. But money is money o-o

Ahhh I️m so happy you’re taking requests for shinsou too! I’m thinking maybe something along the lines of a cute little scenario of shinsou and reader both really liking each other but never being able to admit it. Maybe something like having a study date going too long so reader has to stay at Shinsou’s place and a cute little confession happens before going to bed !
long boi incoming!
‘Okay! See you soon! 😍’
Shinsou’s heart skipped a beat when he saw that text. Whatdoes that face mean? Is this study date something else in your mind? Like… an actual date? He can’t stop staring downat his phone trying to decipher the meaning. The longer he did this, the more anxioushe began to feel. What if you do like him? Then what? Should he confess?
God, he hardlyunderstands his own feelings toward you. All he knows is that he has them.
‘ahhhaaa oops, I meantto send a smiley face like 😄’
Oh. Oh…
Shinsou felt stupid for getting himself all worked up. Ofcourse you didn’t mean anything by that.
His expression visibly falls though, and he sighs as he standsup and sets his phone down. Well, he may as well prepare for your arrivalanyway.
By the time he hears the doorbell go off, Shinsou picked hisclothes up off the floor, made his bed, cleared off his desk, pulled togetherblankets and pillows, and brought snacks up to his room. He found himselflooking forward to this perhaps a bit too much. It’s not like this is the firsttime you’ve been over – in fact, you’ve been friends for a while now.
It’s just only recently that he’s accepted the fact that helikes you. A lot. The next step is how he goes about your relationship fromthis point on. He has no clue if you likehim that way too after all.
As you approach the front door of Shinsou’s house, you letout a shaky breath and close your eyes for a moment to ease your nerves. Why am I so nervous? It’s Shinsou, I’ve beento his house before! This is just a study date, just a study date… oh God, astudy date is still a date, isn’t it?
You panic within your head, starting to think about all thepossible outcomes of the night. As it turns out, you like you close friendShinsou as more than just a friend. Forso many reasons, he’s grown to be a deep crush. The nights that you stay uptalking on the phone, the music that you share, the movies that you watch togetherand the cats that you pet at the cat café – these are things that are unique tojust the two of you.
Then there’s that smile of his, and those perfect, big hands…You forgot for a moment that you had rung the doorbell, because you jump whenhe opens the door.
“Oh, hey.” Shinsou greets casually.
“Hey.” You greet just as casually.
You both look one another up and down. Shinsou noticed your perfectedhair, the touch of red on your lips, and the comfortable yet cute outfit thatyou have on. While he did this, you noticed his black joggers and grey graphictee.
Shinsou realizes that he should invite you in then. “Oh,uh… come in,” he rubs the side of his neck and steps aside, holding the dooropen for you. You thank him and walk in, looking around with a small smile.
“Are you parents home?” You ask.
He responds as he closes the door. “Not yet, they’re both atwork still.”
“Oh.” This isn’t the first time you’ve been home alone withhim either, so why are you suddenly so nervous about it now? “That just meanswe can play music as loud as we want! Come on.” You recover yourself and take Shinsou’shand, guiding him up to your bedroom. You’ve memorized the path by now.
He follows you, becoming so fond of the feeling of your handin his own that when you let go, he’s disappointed. He glances down at your handas it falls back down to your side, looking far too lonely.
You walk into his bedroom and look around the familiar setting– the black, purple, and beige color scheme, posters all over the walls, thecat plushie you gave him for his birthday sitting on his bed. “I always likebeing in your room,” you say, turning your head to face him as you set your bagdown onto his bed.
“Why’s that?” He asks, joining you on the bed but sittingabout a foot away from you. He crisscrosses his legs, grabbing his papers fromhis own brown bookbag.
“Um… no reason! It’s just really nice. I like the posters.”You’d be embarrassed to tell him the real reason.
His eyes glance up at you, giving you an amused look. “Yeah,I like the posters too.” He picks his phone up for a moment to connect to his Bluetoothspeaker, putting on a chill playlist in the background – the one he knows you like.
“Ooh, you added the song I sent you.” You say gleefully,hearing Shinsou only respond with a hum. You stare at him for a moment longer,pursing your smiling lips. Then you clap your hands together and sit on the bedjust like him, deciding to get to work.
The two of you end up studying for a good two hours, maybe more.Going back and forth testing each other, asking questions and exchangingflashcards. You ended up laying on your side while he has his legs stretchedstraight out, back against the headboard.
At this point you feel like you’ve memorized everythingthere is to know. What is a function? How do you say ‘can I get your number?’in English? Who was the first pro-hero to join politics?
Shinsou sighs as he picks up one of the remaining flashcards.“What is the current-“
“No, no please,” you gasp, dramatically laying on your back,stretching your body out. One of your arms lays over your eyes to shield them. “Ican’t answer any more questions.”
Shinsou stops talking, looking at you with an amused grin.That very grin falters the moment his eyes land on you. You might not think itwould affect him so much, but it does. He’s a teenage boy in his room alonewith the girl he has strong feelings for. This girl is sprawled across his bedlaying on her back, and peeking out from the bottom of her forearm are herlips. Soft, slightly parted, and glistening ever so slightly with an additionof lip gloss. You look so… so tempting. So beautiful. Vulnerable. He wants tokiss you and protect you and make you his everything.
Shinsou shuffles a bit in his seat, looking away from you. “Fine,we can stop…” He lifts his hand to the lower half of his face, feeling how warmhis cheeks have grown. As he does this, he looks at the clock across the room. 11:45 PM? How is it so late? “Hey,(Y/N). It’s pretty late. You might have to spend the night.”
You move your arm, blinking at him before checking yourphone. “Oh, wow, it is. Time went by really fast, huh?” Slowly, you sit up,letting out a quiet sigh. “I didn’t bring a change of clothes.” You sing,giving Shinsou a suggestive look.
He looks at you again and eventually points lazily at hiscloset. “You know where my shirts are.”
“Yay!” You hop off the bed and run over to his closet,opening it up. After a very selective process, you pick out one of his largeband tee shirts. Through your changing skills you are able to slide the t-shirton but take your original top, pulling it out through the collar once you’redone. Shinsou watches as you do this, as he also watches you when you dopractically anything else. Your top rides up a little, showing the bare skin ofyour stomach. He likes how you look in his clothes.
You don’t notice this though, and instead just drop your previousshirt to the ground. Perhaps changing was all just an excuse to wear hisclothes – either way, you’re both glad that you did it.
The bed shifts as you join Shinsou back on it, getting upclose into his side and cuddling against it. “Pretty close aren’t you?” He asksrhetorically. It isn’t that he doesn’t like it, but Shinsou has always been badat expressing his feelings.
“Maybe not close enough,” you tease. Shinsou scoffs at youand then looks back down at his phone. He’s tempted, oh so tempted, to wrap hisarm around you, but he’s far too nervous to do that sort of thing.
The two of you are in relative silence for a while, but thething with you is that you don’t need to speak in order to feel comfortable.Your presence is enough for that.
However, you do end up lifting your phone up so that he canlook at the screen, showing him funny things you found on the internet. Shinsouchuckles at some things here and there, showing his general interest, but he’snever completely focused. How can he be with you so close to him? Your smilingface right there every time he looks down. You make his heart race and hisstomach fill with butterflies.
When you show him a particularly funny video that he has noreaction to, you look up at him and find him staring at you. This causes him toglance away. You knew what he was doing there.
Your face heats up, and you’re quiet for a moment as thesilence suddenly does feel awkward. Bashfully,you press your face into his shoulder, an ache in your chest.  Being so close to him makes you realize howgood he smells. He sprayed cologne earlier. It’s like… rose tinted with cinnamonand leather. It’s not too much, it’s just right. Did he spray that because heknew you were coming over?
“I’m pretty tired.” Shinsou says, clearing his throat andsitting up straighter.
“Y-yeah, me too,” you say.
The both of you shuffle underneath the covers, painfullysilent and your backs turned toward one another. It’s never been like thisbetween the two of you before. The tension has never been so high.
Despite the fact that your eyes should be closed, the two ofyou stare in opposite directions. Your hands clutch the blanket around yourshoulders and Shinsou’s nervously trail along the fabric of his sheet. The chillmusic still plays in the background, but somehow it does nothing to ease thesituation.
“Night, Toshi,” you whisper, hugging his pillow close toyou.
“Night.” You hear him mumble.
This isn’t right. This isn’t how it should be. You feel sofrustrated that it’s like this. Why do-
The shuffling of the bed brings you to a pause, a handreaching over your body and resting beside your head. When you look up, you’restaring into Shinou’s intense, tired violet gaze. “Hitoshi,” you breathe hisname, about to question him, when he leans down and presses his lips to yours.
He kisses you deeply, tenderly, as if there’s years ofpent-up feelings within him that he’s just now releasing. Your initial shockfades after just a few seconds and you wrap an arm around his neck. Your otherarm is kept down against the bed, Shinsou’s hand on top of yours andintertwining your fingers together beside your head.
You aren’t sure how long the kiss lasts but it isn’t longenough. When he pulls away, the only thing that you want is more. You’re bothpanting if only because you’d been holding your breath for so long, having forgottenhow to breathe the moment he kissed you.
“I couldn’t just go to sleep like that…” He says, breakingthe silence.
“I-I’m… glad you didn’t.” You respond quietly.
He observes your expression for a second or so before layingon the bed beside you. He’s on his back, staring up at the ceiling, and youroll over to face him.
“I really like you, you know.” He says after a short pause.
“I really like you too.” You can’t help but smile. When Shinsoustops giving you a view of his handsome profile in exchange for a view of hisequally handsome face, you smile even more.
“Yeah I was hoping that.” He glances down at your lips beforedeciding to be brave one more time. He kisses your lips again, this time younot having any hesitation. Eventually you lift your hand to his cheek and hedoes the same to yours, and beneath the blanket your feet meet and your toesmingle.
This is how it’s supposedto be, how it’s supposed to feel. Thank God things are finally back into place.
