Sorry it's late. I'm having a fun time flirting at my best friend that I forgot the time abajhdhsja

Pico's PoV

I paced back and forth outside Keith's room. I mean, he told me I could sleep on his bed. Should I barge in and then lie on his bed? Or should I point a gun at him to make him not initiate a conversation to make it awkward.

No, Pico, no more guns.

But where should my beloved guns go?

Aaaaaa

"Pico?" Keith said, making me stop pacing back and forth.

I blinked a couple of times, unable to speak.

"I'm making sure that you're not sleeping on the couch tonight." He added, opening the door fully. "Come inside."

I started sweating. Maybe it's a bad idea after all.

He held my hand and took me inside the room anyway.

I entered the room and was greeted by his scent. It's really nice.

I looked at the bed and it does fit well with 2 people.

Maybe Cherry used to sleep here.

"Come in the blankets." Keith said, interrupting my train of thoughts.

He patted the free space beside him. I took it over.

He and I eventually got comfortable with our positions.

"I know how much you hate the dark so don't worry." Keith said softly as he put something on my side of the desk. He turned off the lights and then the thing he put beside me glowed.

My eyes started to shine. It's so beautiful.

"Goodnight, Pico." Keith said.

He took my hand and interlock his fingers to mine, making my heart explode and probably a blushing mess.

I smiled at him. "Goodnight, Keith." I said.

Once he heard what I said, he closed his eyes. I saw his reply so I closed my eyes too.

I'm gonna admit that I think this position is much more comfortable and what I'm seeing is more beautiful.

...

I woke up in a non familiar place. I started to panic and then I remember what happened last night.

I... Held Keith's hand and watch him sleep.

I HELD KEITH'S HAND AND WATCH HIM SLEEP

I mean, it's a normal thing couples do! I shouldn't be this embarrassed...

I feel like my heart is exploding into million hearts.

I got off bed noticing a wide space beside me.

It's kinda hot in here so I slid the window open. Bad idea, the fricking -5°c wind greeted me.

"Keith! The thermo thingy is too much!" I exclaimed, running outside.

Keith' POV

It's December! "I'm so excited for Christmas!" I cheered as I skipped around the living room.

"Since when did you have this Christmas tree?" Pico asked, poking the green needles. "Almost as sharp as my hair."

"Since September! I've been counting 100 days until Christmas. Looks like we have 23 days." I answered his question. I scooted over him and put my hands behind me. "Soooo... What are you getting me?"

Pico looked at me and smile. "I can get you one of my guns. Hey, if everyone in America has guns then no one will get hurt."

I blinked a couple of times at his logic.

"We solved the gun issue." He added, doing a finger-gun and resting it on his chin.

"No, I want to rap people to death, not shoot them." I said, flipping my bangs. "Anyway, I made waffles. I gotta go outside and buy ingredients for gingerbread cookies!" I said.

As I opened the door, Nene burst in in a bad mood. I stare as she made her way to Pico.

"Imma just... Go..." I said, walking out. It looks personal.

Pico's PoV

"Stay safe!" I exclaimed, ignoring Nene for a bit.

I turned my attention to her. "What is it this time?"

She went to where the waffles are, grabbed a knife, and stabbed it.

Should I gear up in this moment?

"Did you see the poster?" She said, grumbling after.

"No... I don't care about that?" I answered. I haven't look at any posters lately.

"Dude! Senpai is gonna go here and rap battle." She said, grabbing the pillow from the couch and throwing it at the Christmas tree. I rushed at it, successfully making it not fall.

"Who?" I asked. "Also, calm down!"

"Senpai stole all the men and chicks from me back in daycare. I made an oath to kill him in the future." Nene said, sitting on the couch and crossed her arms.

"Daycare?"

"I was in my hometown. And now he's gonna steal Cherry!" She said, lying down on the couch.

I sat on the other couch and grabbed a clipboard.

"Uhuh, how are you feeling?" I asked.

"I feel... I feel threatened!" She said, making languages out of her hands.

"Are you thinking of anything to solve your problem?" I said. "Not including murder of course."

"I could beat the shit out of him in the rap battle, and then kiss Cherry in front of him as I flip him off." She said, exhaling after. "Phew. Thanks, Pico. Therapist records your personal data and send it to the government. At least I can rely on you."

"I can't be a therapist, you'll end up really mentally ill in the future. Get an actual therapist."

"Up yours, hypocrite. Bye! I gotta plan the thing to get back at Senpai." She said, going out of the door.
