Chapter Eight

The next day was filled with silence. I wasn't avoiding blue, and he wasn't avoiding me, but there was no reason for us to talk to each other. He made me feel terrible.

It was now eight pm and blue was lying in bed. "Blue?" I finally say, breaking the silence.

"Ranboo?" He mocks, as i did the same earlier.

"Who's the person? The one you like, I mean. I wont tell them. I mean, I barely have any friends myself.  I probably don't know them anyways." He looks at me and my heart starts racing. It's toby, isn't it? It has to be.

"You do know him. I should have told you that. I just don't want you to feel bad about me liking him."

"I wont. You know im always here to comfort you. You mean a lot to me, Blue."

"Not yet. Soon, but not yet, kay?"

"Kay." I smile.

Toby walks into the room to announce something exciting.

"GEORGE AND DREAM ARE COMING OVER!! DID EITHER OF YOU KNOW DREAM WAS HERE? I DIDN'T. HES ON HIS WAY AHHHHH"

He runs out of the room and yells in excitement. Blue and I exchange a look of excitement ourselves and go into the living room to wait for them.

"Dang, george and Clay are gonna be all lovey lovey and we're all just gonna be sitting here-" blue says.

"They aren't dating, you know." Toby says.

"They might as well be." He replies.

We all laugh and then a knock at the door puts us all into silence. I get up to answer and i look down and see dream. I hug him tightly and then george.

Once everyone is greeted, we all sit down on the couch and talk for a bit.

"So Dream, why are you in the UK?" Blue says.

"Oh uhh.. Just visiting george. I missed him." He replies.

"Hm. Missing your boyfriend?" Toby chimes in.

"Shut up!" George replies, covering his rosey cheeks.

We all laugh and talk a bit longer. Eventually it gets late and we all decide to go to bed. Me and blue sleep in our room, while everyone else makes pallets in the floor in the living room. We put mattresses down on the floor that were in the attic.

Once everyone was comfortable, we all parted ways and went to bed. I couldn't sleep though. How could I? How could i sleep knowing blue likes someone that isn't me?

Eventually, i gave up and just started scrolling on twitter. I see lots of fan art from my most recent stream with me and blue together. The hashtag "ranblue" already had over six hundred thousand views. I smiled at how sweet and quick our fan base was.

It was about forty five minutes since blue fell asleep and he was tossing and turning. He wasn't awake, just maybe having a bad dream.

Suddenly, he sits up and turns towards me.

"You alright, Blue?" I look at him, squinting to make out his face in the almost pitch dark. There was a little light from the bathroom down the hall. Toby liked to keep that light on at night.

He doesn't reply, only stands up and walks out of the room, coming back with a bottle of water. He doesn't open it. He just sets it on the night stand and lays back down.

"I love you, Ranboo." He says, closing his eyes, falling asleep almost immediately after.

I sit there, shocked. Did he mean it? No. He didn't. He was half asleep. Don't be crazy.

Still, I feel my face get warm and his slurred words repeat inside my head. He wouldn't have said that normally. He's tired. Don't bother him with it tonight. Ask about it tomorrow..

Or not..

I drift off to sleep.

When i wake up I remember the events of last night and sigh, dreading the conversation i know i have to have later.

I stand up amd walk into the kitchen. I see blue looking in the fridge.

"Morning.." I say.

"Good morning! Did you sleep well??"

He sounded a bit.. Enthusiastic. Weird. Im not complaining, but i was a bit concerned.

"Uh.. Yes. You?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna eat some cereal. Do you want me to get you a bowl?"

"Yeah. Thanks." I was sitting at the island.

"Okay here" he hands me a bowl and turns to grab the cereal and milk.

We sit in silence for a few long minutes. When i finish my food, i head to the sink to wash my bowl.

I sigh and look down at blue, who was still eating.

"Blue" i finally say.

"Yes?" He says, looking up at me.

"Do you remember anything from last night, after we went to bed?"

He pauses for a moment. Almost like he does remember.

"Uh- no. I don't. Why?" He never makes eye contact, but this time, it was different. He still didn't, but it was uncomfortable. He turned himself completely back around to face the island.

"No reason. It's just- nevermind. We should go and see if everyone is up."

He nods and we walk into the living room, which was connected to the kitchen but the front wall of the kitchen sort of blocked our view. I peek george in Clay's arms on the floor. Toby was on the couch, they were all still asleep. We head back to our room and blue grabs his computer. He sits on the opposite side of the bed as me.

I look at him and open my mouth but nothing comes out. I want to tell him what happened so badly. It's not like he remembers. It's not like he meant it. He probably was just sleep walking. He didn't answer me when he sat up, so he probably was just.. Dreaming. Dreaming about what, i don't know. He seems off and i don't know what to do. I told him he could talk to me but i don't know if he really wants to anymore. Did i do something wrong?

"Blue.."
