Choose Happiness (K2/Style/Bunny)

chapter 5

Kyle's pov

  I went downstairs, joining Ike on the couch.

"What's wrong with you dude?" He asked me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him, "I'm fine.

Ike narrowed his eyes at me, "Dude, I can always tell when something is bothering you."

  I sighed, knowing he'd get it out of me one way or another.

  "Well, there this person that I like, but they don't want to be in a relationship," I started, "and there's this other person who likes me, but I don't feel that way about them."

  "The second one is Stan, right?" Ike asked.

  "How'd you know that?" I asked him.

  "He literally said last night that he was picking you up for your date." Ike told me.

  "Oh, right.." I said.

"Do you want to be in a relationship?" Ike questioned.

"I do," I sighed, "and I'm sure Stan does too but like I said, I just don't feel that way about him."

"Well you only went on one date, and you've known him as your best friend your whole life," Ike began, so maybe you just need to try to see what it's like to see him as more."

"Yeah...maybe you're right." I said.

  I pulled my phone out, texting Stan.

Kyle: u wanna come over and have a movie night?

Stan: sure thing! what time?

Kyle: how about 7?

Stan: ok I'll be there!

  Stan came over a little before 7:00, and I let him in.

"Hey dude." I said to him.

"Hey." He smiled.

  "I ordered some food and it should be here soon, so let's decide on a movie before it gets here." I suggested, walking over to the couch.

  "Alright." Stan agreed, following me.

-

I don't even remember falling asleep, but I woke up, seeing that Stan also fell asleep, and had his head laying on my shoulder. He looked so cute, I didn't want to wake him, but I would probably have to soon.

  I looked at my phone, seeing it was 12:45 AM. So yeah I need to wake him.

  "Hey, Stan?"

  Stan opened his eyes, quickly moving away from me.

  "Sorry," he blushed, "didn't mean to fall asleep."

  "It's okay, I did too." I told him.

"What time is it?" Stan asked, rubbing his eyes.

"It's almost 1:00 AM." I said.

"Then I should get home," Stan said, getting up, "Gotta get up early for school."

"Yeah, that's right.." I remembered.

I followed Stan to the door so I could lock it behind him, and he turned around, pulling me into a tight hug. I was kind of surprised, but hugged him back. We pulled away, our faces inches away from each other, and I found myself wanting to kiss him, but didn't. I just stepped away from him.

"So um.... I'll see you tomorrow." I told him.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Stan smiled, before leaving.
