i was sitting a few centimeters in front of you. tipsy. you're sitting in front of me, tipsy, looking back at my half-closed eyes. and even in my drunk state, i could see several emotions reflecting in your eyes. questioning, curious, playful, serious.

when i laughed, you smiled, probably because you're amused at me.

"why can't it be me?" i asked, laughing.

you chuckled.
"we've talked about this, didn't we?"

and as i laughed, you laughed with me. but it's different from yours. mine was different.
