Qibli's POV
Today was the day.
Qibli was so excited to have Turtle and Winter sleepover at his house. Sunny was out of town with a class for a field trip and Thorn was in the kitchen making dinner for the boys.
Ding Dong
"Mom, someone's here!" Qibli ran to the door.
Standing at the door was Winter in his usual get up of very subtle shades of blue. He had a white slingbag over his shoulder and his sleeping bag in his other hand. His hair was messy, which wasn't like him, but Qibli shook it off.
"Hey, Ice Boy!" Qibli smiled.
"Sandsnorter," Winter said, "Nice house."
"Thanks."
"Oh, so you're Winter! Qibli has talked about you so much! Glad to finally meet you!" Thorn beamed, "Where are your parents?"
"Mommm!" Qibli rolled his eyes.
Winter looked down, avoiding the question.
"Alright, alright. You two can head on upstairs. Once Turtle gets here, I'll send him up," Thorn said, "Have fun!"
Qibli and Winter walked upstairs and headed to Qibli's room.
"You can set up your sleeping bag over here," Qibli pointed to an empty spot on the floor.
"Thanks," Winter said.
"Wanna play some MarioKart?" Qibli grinned.
"Sure."
Qibli handed a white controller to Winter.
"So... how does this thing work?"
Winter's POV
Qibli scooched over next to where Winter was sitting, and their shoulders were almost touching.
Winter's face turned red and his heart was beating like a train going 100 mph.
Winter... what are you doing? Stop it. He's just a friend.
"Basically, you use this button to accelerate and this one to use powerups. This one is for drifting and..." Qibli looked at Winter, "Are you okay? You're face is practically as red as an apple."
Winter! Stop embarrassing yourself!
Winter took a deep breath, "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Go on."
"Okay, soo... umm... what track do you want to play?" Qibli asked.
"Anything is fine."
"Alright."
They continued to play for a while. Maybe 15-ish minutes? Winter never kept track of time.
"Hey, guys!" Turtle walked into the room.
"Oh, hey, Turtle!" Qibli waved.
"Hi," Winter looked up.
"Turtle, you can set you stuff up next to Winter's," Qibli pointed at the floor.
"Boys! Dinner is ready!" Thorn called from downstairs.
"Okay, guys, let's go!" Qibli said, turning the TV off.
"I smell pastaaaa~" Turtle said.
***
Everyone was asleep.
Except for Winter.
He was staring at the ceiling, contemplating life, and wishing it was perfect.
He wished that his parents and sister were much nicer. He wished that they cared more. He wished that he stayed with his friends forever. But, above all, he wished that the one guy he liked, liked him back.
Ever since he saw Qibli bright face on the bus on the first day of school, he knew there was something special about him. And Winter liked that.
Winter knew he liked Qibli and that there was nothing that he could do about it. There was no way he liked him back. And absolutely no way of his friends and family accepting that he was bisexual. He did the math. 0% percent chance.
But, even though Qibli would never like him back, Qibli and his other friends were the only things keeping Winter alive. He would've died a long time ago if it weren't for them.
Winter turned and looked at Qibli's subtle face.
Golden-brown hair, soft freckles, awesome jokes, perfect family.
Blueish-white hair, ghostly face, never smiles, hateful family.
Complete opposites. There was no way that Qibli could ever like him.
"Qibli, I am fully aware that you can't hear me and that this is never going to work out, but I really like you," Winter whispered as softly as he could.
And then, he fell asleep.
Turtle's POV
Turtle thought he was the only one awake. Apparently he wasn't.
Turtle got up, made sure that both Winter and Qibli were asleep, and pulled out his phone.
He opened messages. He clicked on Kinkajou(AKA Rainbows4Life!!).
Turtle: Qinter is a go.
Rainbows4Life!!: y r u still awake, its 12:30 am
Rainbows4Life!!: and why so formal

Turtle blushed and grinned.
