It was a night like the others. I couldn't sleep so I decided to head to the library. Even if the place was used by the lovers to sneak out and randomly make-out, no one will be there at 4, in the middle of the night. And, like always, I was wrong.

Ajax was sitting in the dark, holding a book. He looked up when he heard my footsteps.

"Y/N? What are you doing here this early in the morning ?"

"What are you doing here ?"

"Couldn't sleep."

"Neither do I."

"Oh."

I sat at his side, choosing a book on the shelf. We stayed here, close to each other, quietly reading.

A few minutes later, I heard Ajax moving closer and I felt a weight on my shoulder. I looked at me and saw that he was asleep, his head on my shoulder. I smile, looking at his features. He looked so peaceful, sleeping like this. Ajax and I have been friends since a long time, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I fell for him and his cuteness. But I don't know if the feeling is mutual, the signals are so confusing.

Hours passed and the sun was raising. I knew someone would find us like this if we don't leave now. So I gently intertwined our fingers, to sweetly wake him up. I saw his eyes fluttering open and he looked at me, a smile on his so perfect lips.

"Hey." I whispered. "Sleep well ?"

"Better than I ever did."

"Aw stop you're making me blush. Now ush we need to leave before somebody find us here."

"Can we just stay here five more minutes ? Please ?"

"Okay."

A comfortable silence followed. Just to be broken by Ajax, staring into my eyes :

"I am so very in love with you."

I looked at him, eyes wide open. He did not say that ?!

"What ?! You're kidding right ?"

"Uh yeah... Of course I'm kidding." He quickly looked away.

Another silence. I got up and gave my hand to help him getting up too. He gently took it, before standing up, still holding it. I guided him in the hallway, making sure not to be seen. I stopped when I heard footsteps. Oh no. Not Mrs Thornhill. I locked us in an empty cupboard. It was a small one and we were so close to each other that I could feel his breath. The footsteps slowly fade away and I opened the closet's door. As I was getting out of it, Ajax grabbed my arm and made me stay in it, closing the door.

"You heard someone else's coming ?" I whispered to him.

"No."

"Then why are we still in there ?"

He gazed into my eyes, as I did the same with his.

"Why did you ask me if I was kidding earlier ?" He slowly asked.

"Uh... Because I thought you were joking."

"I wasn't."

"Really ?!"

"I wouldn't ever dare to joke about that."

I blinked a few times, trying to understand.

"So... You were serious ?"

"Of course I was. But I know you're in love with that guy-"

"Ajax. I'm not in love with him, I promise. Because you're all I can think about. It's you, it's always been you. And I loved you since the moment I first laid my eyes on you." I whispered.

Now he was the one looking me with wide eyes.

"Really ? You're not joking ?"

"Like you said, I wouldn't ever dare to joke about that."

His lips curved into a smile. And that made me smile too.

"Can I- Can I kiss you ?" He murmured quietly.

"Of course you can."

With that, I felt his lips on mine. Now everyone, say thank you to that wonderful sleepless night ! I never loved my insomnia that much. Even if kissing in a random cupboard wasn't the way I planned my first kiss.
