Hug Me! (Short Story)

Rae's POV: (10:30 A.M.)

I don't fucking understand! WHY WONT HE JUST GIVE ME ONE STUPID HUG! Just one! It was a harmless joke at first, but now it's kind of starting to get on my nerves! I mean does he want to hug me, to show his affection, doesn't he like me?

We were both currently at the OTV house for a few weeks for the holidays, but so far he is yet to hug me ONCE. He keeps on making these dumb excuses like, 'oh if I hug you then it'll ruin the meme' or 'why do I have to hug you don't you know how much I already like you' or sometimes even 'well you hugged me so I think that counts'. Spoiler alert: IT DOESN'T!

I walked downstairs and turned into the kitchen only to see just the man I was thinking about, sitting down eating breakfast. I walked over to him and greeted him.

"Good morning Syk!" I said quite energetically to hopefully get him in a good mood, if he for some reason wasn't already in one. He spun in his chair to the left to look at me and then smiled. I smiled back and before he could say it back, I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his shoulder smiling widely.

I wanted to show him that it was okay to show his emotions around me, in case that was the reason why. But then he just awkwardly patted my back like I was a stranger or something!

"Um, good morning Rae?" He said, probably still just trolling me. I pulled back and he just had an uncomfortable look plastered on his face. I rolled my eyes and glared at him.

"Why'd you just do that?" I asked him sternly, crossing my arms together waiting for a response.

"What are you talking about?" He asked me with his usual anime protagonist voice.

"When I hugged you you just just me on the back! Why didn't you hug me?!" I asked him yet again. I was so sick and tired of him messing with me.

"What's wrong with a pat on the back? If any action screams 'hello best friend' it's definitely that one." He said with a smile on his face. Not a devious one, just that stupid perfect, friendly smile that he always does. Seeing that made me more annoyed.

"No! It screams 'I don't really like you so I'll give you a pity pat on the back'!" I said, perhaps with a bit more sass than necessary.

"Jesus, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today!" He said with a bit of attitude himself.

"I woke up 3 hours ago, thank you very much!"

"Really? And you haven't eaten yet?! No wonder you're in a bad mood right now! Here take some blueberry waffles." He said whilst grabbing me a plate, fork, and waffle.

"I don't want waffles! What I want is a hug." I said with a sad tone in hopes that it would change the outcome.

"Oh, you should go find Imane! I heard that she loves giving out hugs!" He said enthusiastically, making me want to scream into a pillow from how agitated I was.

"UGH!!!" I groaned turning away from him as I could hear him chuckling behind me.

There's gotta be some way to make him hug me!

(12:00 P.M.)

I camped behind the corner of the stairs, waiting for Sykkuno to come on up and collect his phone. I snagged it not too long ago as a way to make him come up the stairs. And when he does, I'm gonna hug him so fast, that he's gonna hug me back out of instinct. It's fool proof!

I just hoped that he wasn't planning on leaving the house soon, or if he was planning on staying downstairs without his phone any longer. Because I'm getting pretty tired of just camping this corner waiting for him.
