          Heidi Ho, diary...

That... I'm never saying that again. Today was a really fun and chill day. This time I'm actually telling the truth for once. Yay, I'm honest for once. Let's celebrate. I'm gonna stop making fun of myself now. Drama went down at London's house and that's all I'm gonna spoil for you future me.

Basically, I woke up, head under the blanket. Seriously, was Elias trying to suffocate me in my own bed? All I remember is that he smelled REALLY good. Which meant that I smelled REALLY good all the time because he used my showering wash. I was practically breath...

...ed in deeply, inhaling the nice smell. I grabbed a handful of the colorful shirt he had on. It used to be my brother's shirt. He had tall genes for some reason. My dad was the tallest and he wasn't even that tall.

"... are you enjoying yourself?" Elias chuckled and I immediately closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. He scoffed, obviously not buying my act. I felt him wrap an arm under my shoulder and pull me closer to him so that my face was settled into his chest. I cracked my eyes open but only was faint light.

"If you're gonna pretend to sleep, I'm actually going back to sleep," he explained, cuddling me even closer. It's not like I minded. He was warm and I was sort of cold. I found myself nodding back to sleep.

Until I heard the front door close.

"Ah! Shit!" I exclaimed, sitting up straight, jolting Elias awake for the second time.

"Huh? What?" he asked sleepy and clueless. I smiled for a second before panicking again.

"Sukotto-kun! I'm home! Are you awake, you dead flip flop?" my mom called from downstairs.

"Oh, it's just your mom..." Elias murmured, pulling me back down under the blankets. I wiggled out of his grip and he grunted in protest.

"What do you fucking mean 'just my mom', you dunce?" I hissed, pulling him out of bed and shoving him in my closet. "You stay here while I lie to my mom."

"What? Bu-" he said, cut off by the closing door.

"Yeah, I'm awake mom!" I yelled back.

"Where's Elias? Is he awake too?" she asked next, catching me off guard.

"Elias? H-he's not here..."

"... but his shoes."

"Shit," I whispered, calling out to her, "yeah, he left them on accident."

The house was silent for a bit until I heard her stomp up the staircase and barge into my room. I looked at her in shock. She crossed her arms and I cleared my throat.

"Uh- yes?" I asked innocently. The closet door creaked open and Elias peeked his head out.

"What the flipping the pancakes are you doing? Get back in there!" I hissed, pushing him back in the closet.
