"delusional"

Recap:
Explained poorly by Author :3
*apologies in advance, I dunno I didn't really like how I used to write before the promise au soo aaa*

After a friend date over at Kyle's home and a "Practice kiss" they shared that was quote-on-quote platonic, Stan and Kyle are honestly rethinking everything about their friendship. Kyle for one, is in complete denial that Stan likes him and thinks that the "kisses" they shared are completely normal.

A trip to the city had been introduced to the students and today is the day they get fully told about it.

Kyle's Pov:

I woke up feeling the butterflies in my stomach, the stupid thought of our kisses kept me wide awake at night. I was confused. It has been a week since the "kisses" and honestly I can't stop thinking about it.

I have never seen friends kissing normally in public let alone in a party or whatever. Unless this is like a friend's with benefits kind of thing but seriously?

I'm scared, I'm a fucking pussy or whatever but the thought that I would be a side peice to someone and like...I dont know.

Stan is honestly so pretty. Stunning even, he is surrounded by girls alot and has the most charming personality, and for him to just kiss me all of the sudden is confusing.

I mean.. I love it but it feels so wrong.

Even if he's not dating someone something is just so confusing about it. He's just doing it to practice....

"Kyle?" Mom called

Fuck.

Getting ready for school, I brushed my teeth, hair. Did my skincare, changed into different clothes and packed my bag before heading out the door. The brightness of the snow blinded me since for some reason my eyes still haven't adjusted to the brightness since I woke up.

It has been a week, a lonely week. School canceled over a stupid snow storm which is I guess typical here. Wendy and Token have been keeping me busy with stuff we are planning to do. I'm not sure why specifically them but I guess those two have been more intrigued with the trip than the others. Video calls and playing games on my pc kept me busy but I tried all I could do to sort of avoid Stan.

Well, I knew it would bother him but I mean I'm just a friend and practice right? We have spent months without talking once over a fight over a Lego peice when we were eleven, why would it bother him now?

Sighing I fixed the coat I was wearing, the sound of crunchy snow filled my ears. Why am I like this. We were having a amazing time...

Walking to the bus stop I found a familiar face...yet a not so familiar hair color...?

I was being petty, and luckly for me I wasn't all the way at my bus stop do I turned around and walked over to the public transportation bus instead of the school bus to avoid him. Sitting down on the seats I caught my breath and felt my face burn.

Stan looked so different...he bleached his hair? Why did he do that?

Shaking my head I soon regretted the choice I did since usually the nursing home would take this bus so the old people could go to the library to play bingo....

The smell of old lotion and...yuck I can't even describe it. I'm honestly shocked stans grandpa was still alive and kicking it off. He sat a few seats from me and was giving me a stare. Getting off the bus as soon as possible, I walked the remaining few minutes to go to school.
