2.26 Not a date...Unless?

A/N: First set of exams done, one more on Wednesday tho, here's a chapter I guess, longer one and I tried to tone in the rambling so it's not as bad.

TW: Mentioning Domestic Abuse (I think? Slightly if so), Implying Suicide.

Sykkuno: "You're right... You're always right... It's why I love you..." He said, making me all flustered as a wide smile was plastered onto my face.

He looked at me smiling and his eyes suddenly widened as if he had just realised what he said and he then put his hand over his mouth, averting his gaze. However, I didn't stop staring at him, my eyes were fixated on his eyes. His beautiful, dark, dreamy, pearly eyes that I could easily get lost in forever.

Still embarrassed about what he had just said, he grabbed the wine bottle which had already been opened and he began pouring it out into the glasses, one for me and one for him. For a brief moment I was concerned that he shouldn't be drinking but I quickly remembered that he owned a Tesla that had a self driving function.

Once he had poured the drinks out he took one and looked as if he was about to down it in order to distract himself from saying that he loved me. I just thought it was so cute that he got so worked up over something so simple, I love him, I think he loves me, what's there to be nervous or embarrassed about? As he put the edge of the glass to his lips I cleared my throat in an attempt to get his attention, something that seemed to work.

Rae: "Thomas? A toast?" I asked raising my glass in front of him.

Sykkuno: "R-Right! S-Sorry..." He stuttered nervously, he's so adorable sometimes.

He removed his glass from his lips and raised it to mine, making a clink sound as I told him something in attempt to calm him.

Rae: "I love you too Thomas."

My confession seemed to help a little, he rose his hand to his mouth once again and I could visibly see his face turn a deep red colour. I hate when he does that, I understand that he's been bullied about it before, no doubt by Dick, but I really believed that he had the most attractive smile in the entire world, and to hide something of that level of beauty? That's a crime in and of itself.

Not before long he necked the glass of wine, making me slightly disappointed that he'd rather drink his feelings away than connect with me emotionally, he had done the same thing only a month ago where he went and got wasted at the bar instead of being with me. I hope that it wouldn't become a common occurrence.

The silence was deafening, it irked me that the man I loved, the only one for me, couldn't hold a conversation with me for more that 60 seconds, if we couldn't talk how could we possibly survive in a relationship? Well I guess there are other things to do in a relationship besides speaking...

Distracting my constant dirty thoughts of Sykkuno and how I wanted to rip that tux off of him, I blurted something out randomly to get the conversation going.

Rae: "This place is nice isn't it? I've always wanted to go here but it felt pretty lonely driving past and seeing all the couples and knowing that I didn't have the one person I wanted most."

Sykkuno: "Ye-Yeah! It's a nice place I guess." He spoke obliviously as if he had chosen to ignore what I had just said.

Rae: "But I guess that can change right? You. And me. We can finally be together! If that's what you'd like of course!" I asked, not wanting him to feel pressured into anything.

I suddenly remembered what I had said to myself just yesterday. "I'm not gonna say anything until he does..."

"Ah screw it! I love him and I shouldn't have to wait for him to tell me he loves me considering it's probably never gonna happen!"
