Pico pov

"We should get going, our reservation is at 11:10." I watched as Keith's mom passive aggressively pushed everyone into the garage.

We all hopped into the car. Kaity and Keith sat in the very back while I sat next to Miku. Ritz sat in the front next to Keith's mom.

After a bit of driving, I started hearing whispers behind me. I tried listening in on the conversation.

"Kaity! What the hell.."

I heard Kaity start talking, but I couldn't make out what she was saying.

"We aren't.." I couldn't understand the rest of his sentence. I'm not dumb so I could tell she asked if he was dating me.

"..Just friends."

I stared out my window as I watched us drive. Does he like me? Probably not in that way. I know I don't like him in that way.

But he held your hand. A little voice whispered in the back of my head.

It was an accident, he didn't mean too. He thought I was Cherry.

Why would he think you were Cherry if he didn't like you in that way?

Just stop thinking about him, Pico.

"Pico!" I jumped a little at Keith calling my name. "We're here."

I turned my head and looked at him and unbuckled my seat belt. I got up and followed everyone else.

It was a small little building and had a big sign on the front that read "Rosie's Diner". We walked inside, the decor being of the 50s and a lot of Betty Boop and Elvis.

We soon got situated in our seats and ordered some drinks. I couldn't help but think about Keith. I know one thing is certain, funerals ALWAYS make you cry. I'll have to grab him some stuff to help make him feel better.

The waiter came by our table and put our drinks down. I grabbed my Pepsi and watched everyone as they talked.

"Hey Pico?" Alice asked.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any relatives?"

"Yeah, I had parents. I didn't have any siblings though."

"Well, I'm glad Keith invited you for Thanksgiving so that you weren't alone." She quickly smiled, trying to reasure me.

"Mhm." I took a sip of my drink.

After a while of chatting, the waiter took our orders.

"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I excused myself. I got up to find the bathroom, and tried going quickly. I washed my hands and walked out the door, only to be face to face with Kaity.

"Uh.. Hi?" I questioned her, she was about 2 inches away from me. It was only then I realized how short she was compared to me.

"Do you like my brother? He said you guys aren't dating but I can tell something is up." She ubruptly spoke.

"Uhm! No." Shit, I blushed a little.

"Uh huh." She crossed her arms. "You really aren't feeling anything towards him?"

"Only friendship." I regained my composure, even though I just blushed over a blue haired simp.

She faked a laugh, glared at me, then walked into the girl's bathroom. As soon as she left, I smacked my head.

"I can't believe myself-" I groaned and sat down at the table.

"What'd you say Pico?" Keith turned to me.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." I grumbled.

"Ok.." he turned back to Miku.

...

We talked and ate for around an hour, it was hard to have fun though. Keith flooded my thoughts, it always took me a second to realize people were talking to me. We soon payed and left. This time, I was put in the back next to Keith. Probably on purpose.

"I um, have to go get ready for the funeral." Keith broke the silence.

"Oh, ok." I cringed at my response.

"So, you can do whatever you need to. I'll be at my pa-mom's house."

"Alright."

We waited in silence for a bit before Keith spoke up again.

"A-Are.. are you ok?" He sounded concerned.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, why?"

"You're really quiet today."

"I'm just thinking about things.."

"Hm, ok."

Alice pulled into the garage and yelled "Alright everyone get ready!"

We all got out, but instead of following everyone else, I pulled Keith aside.

"I'll see you later, if you need anything text me. I'm gonna drive around for a little before I head home, so just give me a heads up if you're struggling." I told him.

He nodded his head and hugged me, my face started turning red. "Alright, Pico. See ya."

He pulled away and went inside with everyone else. He's so adorable, I could go on and on about how he's the cutest-

I cut my thoughts off and got into our car.

I started driving around looking for a liquor store, and when I finally found one, I did a questionable parking job and went inside.

I didn't really know what to get Keith, so I just assumed he'd like sweet wine. As I went to grab myself some beer, I heard someone call my name.

"Pico?"

Cliffhanger :)
