Projection (Male reader x Female OC)

012

I step into the building only to see Alexi with a mildly annoyed stare and Rin being totally fine sitting on the couch talking to one of the girls. The guys on the other hand are all near the kitchen with loud laughs.

Alexi looks at me with that expression before smirking at me. She walks towards the kitchen as I feel Rin side next to me, almost clumsily falling against me.

"Heya."

"Heya?"

"What? I am in a good mood." She pouts at me. "I was worried about you but Alexi said she would check up on me for me." She shakes her head. "Check up on you for me."

"Oh god."

"Come on. I am fine." She rolls her eyes, I am surprised that didn't give her a headache and made her pass out in place. "There was this stupid idea of playing spin the bottle and I stopped them before the idea even had time to happen."

"So you do have some control over yourself."

"Hey-"

"I mean usually you'd jump at the opportunity. I mean kissing someone? It isn't gay if it is a dare right?"

"Shut up." She grumbles next to me, I remember it clearly when I saw her... well him at the time kiss another guy and it was just astounding what Rin was willing to go through to kiss a girl she liked. "We do stupid shit when we are drunk."

"That's why I am here, not drunk."

"I'm not drunk either."

I could smell her breath from here, it is pretty toxic at this point. The shitty taste of the bear is stuck to her breath. If I was drinking a little bit more I wouldn't have noticed it at all but I am unfortunately very sober.

"Hmmm."

"What?"

I chuckle before shaking my head as I take another sip. "Nothing."

Everyone comes back inside after a short while of doing their own thing and all of us are gathered outside near the fireplace. Should have expected that it would turn out this way but with how dark it is getting it might be a little late for us.

Mom doesn't care as long as I update her on the time. At least I have a spare to get in if she is in bed already but it is more a safety thing rather than a possessive thing. I send the text for a moment zoning out of my surroundings before lifting my head back at the conversation.

I glance instinctively at Rin who is standing near the fire with a drink in her hand, and Anthony who is standing incredibly close to her making a shit ton of eye contact and being awfully touchy with her shoulders.

Yet... she doesn't look a little bit worried about it. Could probably excuse it as harmless but from where my sober mind is sitting I would have elbowed him in the nose just to get him to back off. Fucker may have bought me dinner but it is still pretty obvious what all of this is.

Wait...

No shot.

Am I jealous?

Nah we have to go home now because I am probably drunk out of my mind. I must have suddenly turned into a lightweight that can't handle 2% alcoholic beer. Oh god. This has to be what they call gay panic.

I am not gay though... I mean Rin isn't a dude anymore.

Just with that thought alone, I calm myself down before having my first-ever meltdown at the age of eighteen. Alexi plops down near her seat.

"You like spying on people, don't you?"

"Not spying."

"Well. Rin is clearly into the attention. Wonder what it takes from either of them to disappear into a room for the night just to have some harmless fun."
