6/28
6:30 am

Me and Clay made our way to the kitchen so we could start making breakfast.

As we walked there Clay tried going over all the things he had that we could make.

We decided to make pancakes using a pancake mix. As well as scrambled eggs and toast. I love scrambled eggs, they're my favorite.

I went over the fridge to get the milk and eggs out. Clay went to the pantry and got the bread and pancake mix.

He went over to the toaster and plugged it in before putting two pieces of bread in, one in each slot.

"Hey Clay? Where's your pans?"

"It the upper cabinet on the end," he said as he pointed in that direction.

I went over to the cabinet and opened the door. The pan I needed just so happened to be on the top shelf.

"Clay... I can't reach the pan," I said slightly hesitant, feeling my cheeks heat up from embarrassment.

Clayed let out a small laugh as he made his way over to me.

I stood behind me, pressed up against my back, as he reached up to get the pan. This caused me to continue blushing.

He stepped back with the pan in hand, I turned around and he handed it to me.

"Thanks."

"No problem, I just think it's funny you can't reach the pans," he said as I rolled my eyes at him and he laughed again.

The two of us continued moving around the kitchen as we made our breakfast.

At some point Clay let me start playing music, and after a few minutes, the song "Malboro Nights" by Lonely God came on. A.k.a. one of my all time favorite songs.

I started humming the song and swaying as the song continued. I guess Clay noticed because about halfway through he asked me if I liked the song.

"Yeah, yeah I do. It's one of my favorites."

"I don't know if I've ever heard it before."

"Really?"

"Yeah," he said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Come dance with me," I said stopping what I was doing and turning to face him.

"Seriously?"

"Yup, I'm gonna restart the song and we're going to have fun dancing while you listen to it."

"Okay, whatever you say captain."

I went over to my phone that was sat on the counter and restarted the song. I then walked over to Clay and the two of us started dancing around the kitchen and laughing as we did.

As the song started coming to an end so did our dancing.

The two of us stood still, our hands linked together.

We slowly leaned in, our breaths mixing because of our close proximity.

Our lips were only centimeters apart, when suddenly we heard Sapnap running down the stairs.

We quickly pulled apart trying to return to what we were doing previously as Sapnap entered the kitchen.

"Good morning Clayton and Briette," Sap said as he sat down at one of the bar stools on the other side of the counter.

"Mornin Sippy cup," Clay said.

"Where the fuck did you get 'Briette' from?" I asked him my voice laced with genuine confusion.

"I don't know, it just came to my mind, and I was like, 'yeah, briette works for her,'" the boy explained.

After a little bit longer Clay and I finished making breakfast for the three of us. We all sat at the counter and ate our breakfast.

Not many words were exchanged over the breakfast. I still was shocked from what almost occurred before Sapnap came down.

~ time skip to after breakfast, 8 am ~

After cleaning up breakfast Sapnap went back to bed seeing as it was still rather earlier and he had nothing better to do.

I was collecting my things whenever Clay came over to me.

"Hey B?" he said as he approached me.

"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna talk about what happened before breakfast or... like, just leave it?" he asked me.

"Umm... we can talk about it if you want? We don't have to though?" I responded.

"Ok, I guess we can talk about it at a later time."

"Yeah, sure. Well, I gotta go. I'm pretty sure I have a meeting with some people, not too sure, but yeah. I gotta go now. Bye," I said as I started heading out the door.

"Bye Briar, I'll talk to you later," Clay sad before closing the door to his house as I walked down the front steps.

I made my way over to my car, got in, and headed back to my place.

~ time skip to at their apartment, 8:45 am ~

There was a bit of morning traffic on my way home, so it took me a bit longer than normal to get back.

Once I got home I went and took a shower.

⚠️⚠️start of tw⚠️⚠️

I stood and stared at myself in the mirror, just about to step into the shower.

I saw the scars on my wrists, forearms, waist, and thighs. I'd really fucked up in the past, and I was starting to do that again.

I looked at myself closer inspecting every flaw and imperfection until I no longer could because the mirror fogged up from the trapped humidity.

Once I could no longer see in the mirror, I quickly hopped in the shower spending as little time in there as necessary.

⚠️⚠️tw over⚠️⚠️

I got out of the shower quickly drying off and getting dressed.

I just put on a baggy sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants.

I went into my room scrolling through twitter, today being a surprisingly good day for me. Good day meaning not as much hate and death threats being thrown my way.

After scrolling for a bit I decided I should stream.

I hadn't streamed in over a month. I was still semi-active on most other social medias aside from YouTube a Twitch.

I got up from my bed, made my way over to my desk, and began booting up my pc.
