never noticed him (kyle broflovski x reader)

insomnia

(come a little closer - cage the elephant)

(Y/N)'s pov:
the following friday morning, i lay in bed staring at my ceiling trying to go to sleep. it's 3am and i'm sick of being awake. thoughts kept popping into my head and i couldn't stop thinking. i don't know why, but especially about kyle.

i wonder what he thinks of me. wait, why am i so concerned with that? i mean we're just friends...

right?

i need to stop overthinking and actually sleep so i can be a functioning human tomorrow and do school work. i get up and flick my light on. i think nothing of it as i sleepily trudge towards the bathroom and try not to trip over my messy floor.

Kyle's pov:
i'm watching terrance and phillip while reminiscing on childhood memories. my friends and i used to love this show. watching it now i don't see the appeal and can't understand how i thought that this show was the epitome of comedy. out of the corner of my eye, a light flickers on. i turn to look through my window and realize the faint light is coming from (Y/N)'s room.

why is she up this late?

i take my feet down from being propped up on my desk and reach for my phone. i hesitated in fear of bothering her, but then gathered enough courage to proceed to text her anyways.

kyle: can't sleep?

(Y/N)'s pov:
as i return from the bathroom, i pick up my phone to once again check the time in hope that it would somehow go back to 11pm. i take a double take as i realize there's a message, and out of all people, it's from kyle.

kyle: can't sleep?

i smiled as i read the message and responded.

(Y/N): yeah just can't stop thinking. you?

i opened my shade and looked out the window into kyle's room. he was watching something on his computer but picked up his phone again as my message went through. when he saw that i had texted, he looked through his window at me and we locked eyes. i smiled and waved. he waved back. he looked back down as he started to respond to my text.

kyle: i'm just procrastinating sleep and watching tv. what are you thinking about?

you

(Y/N): just things i have to do for school and stuff

i paused thinking about what i was gonna do next.

(Y/N): wanna sneak out?

Kyle's pov:
(Y/N): wanna sneak out?

i furrowed my brow at the suggestion. of course i wanted to, but i was hesitant since i knew my mum would be livid if she found out. but then again, you only live once so, why not?

Kyle: i'll be outside in a minute :)

(Y/N)'s pov:
i opened my door as silently as i could and creeped down the stairs still in my pajamas. once i got to the front door, i grabbed my jacket, hat, and gloves and suited up for the cold winter air. i then put on my snow boots and escaped outside as quickly and quietly as i could. when i got outside, i walked across my yard into kyle's to find him coming out of the door. he walked up to me with his hands in his pockets and smiled in the bright moonlight. "ready?" i asked. he nodded and soon we were on our way to stark's pond. we stayed quiet the whole way there, but it wasn't an awkward silence. it was peaceful and comfortable. when we arrived, i went to the edge of the pond and sat down in the snow looking across it. kyle sat down next to me and wrapped his arms gently over his knees. we stared across the frozen pond admiring its beauty as it reflected the bright moon from above.
