A Thousand Miles

My birthday celebration was great. Hungover was probably the worst part of it. My guests didn't leave until after lunch. We ordered in some pizza and Ran made some miso soup. He was probably the only one who wasn't hungover. He was acting a little different that morning. He seemed... shy? I honestly don't know why or did something happen last night. I'll have to ask him.

The week went by fast. I got a bouquet of flowers from Yuki, he apologized how he couldn't make it to my birthday. My brother found out about the alcohol and he was proud of me? If this was Kenzo, I'd be hearing it for the rest of my underage life. But luckily for me, it's Daisuke-nii. He just said to invite him next time.

It was Friday, Yuki's birthday. He hasn't said anything about celebrating it, so I went on with my day like normal. I invited Ran for lunch because I still have to ask him why he's acting all weird. We went to a local ramen shop, we got our food and started eating.

"Ano.. why are you acting so.. weird?" I asked.

He looked up, confused at my question, "What do you mean?"

"Since the morning after my birthday, you've just been acting... weird"

"Do you really want to know? You might die from embarrassment if I tell you"

"Now I'm really curious"

He looked at me again, trying to see if I really wanted to know. Heck yeah, I do.

"Alright, so, I'm not exactly sure what you remember from that night..."

"Let's see... I remember being out in the balcony, but that's it," I said.

"Well, you were drunk. So, I put you to bed, sort of. Then you come out of your room telling me to sleep with you"

Me. Shocked. "I would never."

"You did, you also were barely wearing anything, so.."

I woke up wearing a tshirt, so that's a lie, "I was wearing a tshirt when I woke up"

"A tshirt that was shorter than your dress, which might I add was short enough to begin with"

"I looked great in it"

"You did, you looked beautiful actually" he admitted. I was surprised when he said that.

"But besides that, you wouldn't sleep without me, so.. I agreed. Then you told me to strip down to my boxers and shirt" he said.

People are starting to look at us. "Keep your voice down and I wouldn't.. would I?"

He looked at me with a straight face. Oh gosh, I should remind myself not to get drunk again.

"Was that it?" I asked.

He shook his head. There's more?!

"So, in the middle of the night, you decided to..."

"To?"

"To climb me, if you know what I mean"

"Nuh-uh, that definitely did not happen," Yup, that's a lie. I did not climb him. I would never do that. Nope. A total lie.

"You were wearing a pink pokemon underwear, it was a clefairy design, since your tshirt rode up. I don't think you were even wearing a bra. Half of your body was basically on top of me" he said, one of his eyes raised.

I was speechless.. I do have that underwear but I don't remember if I was wearing that, but then again... he wouldn't know that I have pokemon underwear unless I told him or he's seen it.

"Why did you look? Pervert"

"I'm a guy, why wouldn't?" he joked.

I just pouted, embarrassed at what I did. How would I redeem myself from that? We finished our ramen and decided to walk back to university since he still had one class left.
