I hug MARI once again, and when I break the hug, I tell her, "I need to speak to BASIL."
She nods, always understanding, and lets me leave her room to go to his.
"BASIL." I say.
He looks to me from across the room, unsure if my arrival is good or bad.
"We need to tell the truth." I tell him.
I can see him bite the inside of his lip from where I stand in the doorway, his beautiful perfectly tanned face from gardening twisted in worry, his fluffy blond hair in his sky blue eyes, a look of careful thought in them. He looks perfect right now, but then again, when does he not look perfect?
"SUNNYYYY... you know it wasn't you who did that... come here, pretty boy." He finally says.
I can feel my pale face heat up when he calls me 'pretty boy'. I go over to him, sitting on his bed, just close enough the bare skin right above our knees touches.
"If you want to tell them," he tells me, pausing to tuck a piece of my black hair behind my ear, "then do so. I'll support you, okay, pretty boy?"
I nod my head, and then lean it on his chest.
"Tomorrow." I tell him.
"Tomorrow." He echos, and I can feel his heart rate speed up.
