My Sunshine

I'm glad!

ARYA

"Okay, fine, you can sleep on the bed." I said, catching my breath

"Oh? Did you just give up?" He raised his eyebrows

"Definitely not. I, the Ari, don't give up, Eli. I only do what's fair." I dramatically said

He shook his head with a smile and looked around

My eyes landed on his hands

"I've never seen you like this before. In casual, I mean." I smiled "I like your rings. I have some myself." I chuckled

"Yeah, I know." He went towards the window, sitting on the couch beside it

"Oh my- you have tattoos!" I gasped. I quickly sat down on the couch as well, facing him.

"I can't believe I hadn't noticed till now."

I looked at his arms, every inch covered in ink.

"Well then, I guess i'm doing a good job, huh?" He looked down at his arms "I try to hide them the best I can. I just don't think it's appropriate at work."

"They're pretty." I smiled

He looked up, something flashing in his eyes.

He looked away once again, staring at the sky.

"I got them when I was 16."

I tilted my head "...illegally?" I whispered

He chuckled, patted my head and got up.

"You can sleep on the bed."

I cleared my throat "No way, you won it. Fair and square."

"No, It's fine. The couch isn't much different."

I crossed my arms on my chest "Do you wanna sleep together on the same bed?" I tilt my head, teasing him.

"What?"

I chuckle "No, right? Then either you sleep on the bed or we sleep together, your choice." I shrug

He turned away

I smiled, stepping in his vision

He turns away, once again.

I hold in my laugh. Stepping in front of him again.

Again, He turns away and I move in way. This time, laughing.

"Why?" I deepen my voice "Because you don't know what you might do?" I teased him

I was confident...until he decided to smirk and walk forward, making me step backward. Which, then made me fall on the bed. More like sit. My hands rested on the bed, beside my lap.

My eyes widened.

He's gonna do some perverted shit again.

...But he didn't.

He knelt down.

I tilted my head in confusion.

"I'm gonna go and sleep on the couch." He pat my lap and got up

He laid on the couch.

I chuckled.

I saw a smile creeping over his face.

"Hey, Eli?"

He hummed in response

I turned my back the other way, facing him

"What would you do if you found out that Dev was in love with you? Like, by accident?"

I heard a chuckle. Then a full on laugh.

I narrowed my eyes

His laughter slowed down "Why are curious about- about the weirdest things?" And once again, he started laughing.

I sighed, turning and facing the ceiling

He calmed down. I heard a rustling sound.

"Okay...Seriously? I would probably tell him the truth that I know and how I don't feel the same way about him and let him decide what he wants to do after that."

"Oh."

The next morning

"Are you...okay now?" I asked, worried

Suddenly, I felt arms being wrapped around my waist, slightly getting lifted off the ground

I chuckled

He put me down, releasing me from the hug

"What was that for?" I smiled

"The answer to your question."

He said and turned away, going towards his car

"I'm glad!" I yelled
