"Ha haa wanna hear something cool albedo?"
Keaya slurred his drunken form still slumped on my shoulder as we walked.

"Sure keaya"
I respond slightly annoyed at his rambling

"I like someone"
He laughed, For some reason it made my heart sink.

"Really? Who is then"
I ask nervously

"Rosaria she has such pretty hair.."
He said

My stomach dropped I wanted to cry. keaya had always been my friend i should be happy, but hearing he liked someone that wasn't me was awful.

"What about you albedo"
Keaya said nudging me

"No one"
I reply simply, scared I'd burst out in tears if I said anymore

"Aww so boring, not even someone you sorta like"
He pressed further

"No, keaya"
I say annoyed at his antics

"You like me!"
He said in suprise clearly not hearing when I said "no"

"I- no keaya I meant"
I stuttered trying to clear everything up

"Aw don't be so shy"
He laughed like a school girl

I only sighed defeated, but maybe he wasn't wrong maybe I did like him a little. it would make sense with my condition right? No! That's absurd I don't.. well maybe a little.
The realization made my cheeks burn red, as my now crush continued to babble on drunkly completely unaware.

Finally I made it back to my office/house keaya now trailing behind me slightly less drunk.
I poured him a glass of water, handing it to keaya who was now slumped on my couch.

"Oh thanks albedo"
He said before taking a drink

I stood there sorta awkwardly as he finished his drink, handing it back to me.

Keaya yawned stretching up his arms before throwing himself back on the couch.

"Albedo can you get the lights?"
He asked

"Your planning on staying?"
I ask sort of surprised

"Yeah hope you don't mind I'll just take the couch you won't even know I'm here"
He said already snuggling up under my blanket

"Uh yeah but I don't really have a bed.. I just sleep on the couch"
I say slightly embarrassed that I don't even own a bed

"Oh."
Keaya responded simply

"Uh- Its fine I'll just throw some blankets on the floor"
I say trying to compromise

"Yeah that should work I'll take the floor since it's your office.. or house?"
Keaya said rolling of the couch and onto the floor with all his pillows and blankets

"Uh okay then if you want to"
I say slightly concerned for his back

I laid down on the couch like normal but couldn't sleep, keaya was to my side and with the recent revelation that I like him it was well a little awkward.
Still I did my best to try and get some sleep, I tried turning to my side but the looking at keaya only made me start coughing up petal that I then hid under my pillow.
And staring at the ceiling filled me existential dread, so I just closed my eyes shut and eventually it worked I drifted off to sleep.
