12 | My nerd

We had arrived at the restaurant finally, smelling all of the food from outside the door. Nobody could fix the seats to let George out of the back— we thought about leaving him there but eventually we got it down and he got out. Mainly because of dream insisting that he had to get him out. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't like proposed or something yet.

"It smells so good in here" Sap expressed as we walked through the door.  Tables and booths were along the sides of the walls, with fancy-ish decorations all around them.  The waiter led us to our table and once again I sat in between sap and techno.  It was super cold in there — it didn't help how the air conditioner was right above us either.

We all ordered our food and I was scrolling on my phone until the food got here.  I felt something warm go around my shoulders and I looked over to my right and saw Techno putting his jacket around me, "You looked pretty cold, I remember you saying that mens clothing is super comfy too— put this on."

I nodded and slipped it on, warmth covering my arms. "Thanks" I patted him on the shoulder. He nodded and the waiter brought our food.

I checked my phone really fast before I ate because my notifications on Twitter were blowing up.  All of a sudden I had gotten hate comments flooding in my replies and dms, and they really put my mood down.

I started to eat my food, the comments still being glued in my mind. I picked at my food while everyone chatted about their weekend plans and everything, occasionally bursts of laughter from others once someone made a joke.

"Excuse me— I need out, please" I excused myself from the table. They let me out and I walked to the outside of the restaurant. It was quiet and calm there, I felt so calm like there was nothing in the world that would bother me.  I sat down on a bench and looked out into the sky. It was a beautiful blue-orange color, the sun halfway hiding behind little clouds.

The door opened, and out came Techno.

"Hey, you seemed pretty down in there, everything alright?" He took a seat next to me.

"I mean.. I'd be lying if I said no" I looked over at him

He shifted towards me a little, "What's wrong?"

"Just hate comments, I can't handle them as much as regular influencers do, it's a mood killer. You know? Just being called nerds and stuff by strangers doesn't set right with me and it honestly kind of hurts" I tried not to break eye contact.

"Well, you'll always be my nerd if that helps anything?" He chuckled. ba-bump, ba-bump. Red flushed my cheeks.  "Our foods getting cold, you wanna go back in?"

I nodded and we walked back inside with a comfortable silence.  I sat back down with Techno following, and started eating.  If I'm being honest, techno really helps calm me down even more whenever I'm going through a hard time.

Once we got home I posted on Twitter how I was taking a short break. I wouldn't be going on Twitter until it was over, so I had time to rest off of it. I was sitting at my desk looking for things to paint. I decided on the view that I had saw while I was talking with techno outside the restaurant.

I couldn't really get what he had said out of my head, why did it affect me so much? A few knocks were on my door, "Come in!" I shouted.

"Just checking in, are you alright now?" Techno popped his head through the door.

"Yeah, I feel a lot better. Thanks" I turned to look at him.

He walked over to my desk, "That looks nice"

"Thank you, it's the sunset from the restaurant." I thanked him again.

"I'll leave you to it. Keep it up" he patted my shoulder and walked out.

He helps me with so many things, I wanna give back. But that's the thing.. how? That's it! I'll finish this painting and give it to him. It's perfect.

I finished the painting in only a half hour and it still looked awesome. I looked at the clock, 12:34 am. I took some clothes and hopped in the shower before I went to sleep.
