tommy couldn't get a handle on kalarnie. she was extremely pretty, what with her green eyes and dark hair. every time she talked, it always sounded sweet, but not too sweet. she didn't mind whenever a fan took a photo with him.

but why?

why did she always seem so happy around him? why did he feel odd around her? why did he-

"tommy!" wilbur's monotone voice echoed.

"y-yes wilbur?" "you alright mate? you're currently stalling business with quackity right now." tommy zoned back in and readjusted his headphones.

"right, sorry."

---

tommy shut off his stream, wilbur still on the call. "you alright, buddy?" wilbur asked, concerned about tommy zoning out of an important stream.

"yeah, i'm fine." "what's on your mind?" the man asked, curious.

tommy ruffled his fringe and coughed. "nothing's on my mind, wil. it's fine." "alright, tommy. i'm gonna head now. see ya."

"bye wil." wilbur hung up and tommy took off his headphones, confused with himself. how could he get so smitten over a girl he didn't know that well. looking over his desk, he grabbed his mouse and opened spotify, trying to play music to calm down. he clicked on khai dreams and sat there, in silence.

he debated over asking for kalarnie's discord. would it be a nice gesture or would it seem weird? he glanced over the discord menu and sighed. she knew he did youtube but that was about it.

she liked him for him, which was what confused the shit over tommy. he hadn't liked many girls, a few here and there but he was too afraid to make any moves. with this new brunette beauty, he felt nervous. that was a good thing, right?

"what the fuck am i even doing?" he thought out loud. he took his phone and opened his text thread with her. the last thing they were talking about was a debate over what flavour of chocolate was the best.

what's your discord?

he felt off while thinking about sending that. it felt weird. yet it made him want to send it even more.

before realizing, he let go of a held in breath and realized he sent it.

seen

kaliente #1968

he smiled to himself and sighed in relief. she didn't think it was weird? tommy went to his searchbar and requested to be her friend. withing seconds, her username was at the top of his chat bar.

hello.

a simple greeting. usually he would be more upfront but it didn't feel appropriate yet.

hi tommy!

at least she was cheerful. his discord pinged again.

wanna call?

tommy smiled, typing a response.

sure :)

tommy saw and heard the familiar discord ringtone. he clicked accept and heard her voice ring through his headphones. "hello, tommy!" she sounded as chipper as ever.

"hi kalarnie." "call me lani, you've earned it."

"i've earned it?" he chuckled, mostly to himself. "of course, you're one of my closest friends practically ever." he leaned on his hand and grinned.

"why thank you, lady kalarnie." "my pleasure, sir tommyinnit." "wait- how'd you-"

"you're just stupid, aren't you? it's your username." tommy breathed with uncertainty. it was obvious, was it not?

-

tommy lays his hands over his keyboard, letting them rest there. the conversation didn't last too long. reading over the chat log, he furrowed his brows at the time.

kaliente started a call that lasted three hours.

three hours. it seemed like twenty minutes. if he could be on a call with someone he barely knew, he then figured out in that moment that some feelings had resonated.

"fuck..." he muttered. he was so fucked if fans found out.

walking to his bed, he sighed.

the next day at school, he kept his eyes down. eryn nudged him and tommy's bob of hair bounced as he looked up. "what's up?"

"you've been so quiet today. got somethin' on your mind, mate?" tommy gulps, readjusting his tie.

"a girl. it's nothing though." "bro's before hoes, my guy." eryn chuckled and tommy nodded, trying to laugh along.

but yet, through eryn's remarks every now and then, even though tommy tried to see the light in them, they felt off. as if eryn didn't like the fact tommy had a girl on his mind.

as the day came to a close, tommy caught the bus and plugged the earbuds in his ears. he just wanted the lovey feeling to leave.
