five.

"here," brett hands eddy a change of clothes after changing his own clothes. eddy mutters a "thanks, i'll go change," while brett settles on his sofa. 

eddy comes out after a while, wearing the same exact outfit brett had, only in different colors. 

"thanks," eddy says, a smile playing on his lips. he liked the other's clothes. 

brett looks eddy up and down, checking if he was comfortable in the clothes he gave. "he looks good," he thinks.

"you're staring quite a bit there," eddy can't help but smirk.

"sorry. it's just 'cause you look good," brett says nonchalantly, as if his heart wasn't thumping in his chest. 

it was. unbearably so. 

eddy turns red, taken aback by the casual remark.

"you too, hey," 

"that doesn't work with me, you know. but nice try," brett says, patting the couch to tell eddy to come sit with him. 

"what works with you then, hmm?" eddy sits down and brings his face close, centimeters away from brett's. he stares straight into the other's eyes, challenging him, almost.

"ugh, nevermind," brett says, flustered. he attempts to get away from eddy, though he fails when the other pulls him closer. 

"nevermind, hmm? seems like that worked with you," eddy says with a victorious smile on his face.

"yeah, like you didn't turn beet red when i simply told you that you looked good," brett retorts, nudging the other as well. 

"touché," eddy chuckles softly.

"so, what do you wanna do? we have all night." 

"i have an idea, but i think it's stupid. or maybe it's just forward." 

"well, i have no ideas, so just lay it on me," brett says, curious. 

also, he's lying. he has a shit ton of ideas. he wants to watch a movie, or maybe play a bit of super smash bros, or perhaps he should make eddy teach him piano. but he thinks they can do that next time. 

"if there is a next time," he thinks. 

there is a next time. of course there is.

"here. thirty-six questions designed to help you fall in love with anyone," eddy says. showing his phone.
