AUTHOR'S POV:

As the alarm blared from his phone, Fourth was jolted awake, his mind still foggy from a restless night. Groggily, he reached out to the bedside table, blindly searching for the source of the irritating sound. His fingers finally found the phone, and he silenced the alarm, letting out a heavy sigh as he lay back down.

His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, a tangled mess he couldn't begin to sort out. 

What was happening to him? 

Why was he feeling this way? 

The events of the previous night replayed in his mind like a broken record. He didn't know when he had finally drifted off to sleep—or if he even had. The last time he checked the clock, it was well past 3:30 AM, and all Fourth had done was successfully overthink-

Gemini had kissed him.

Gemini Norawit, the person Fourth had convinced himself he hated, had kissed him. 

And he... liked it. 

No, that probably isn't the right word. Fourth may have tried his best to be ignorant towards his feelings but he, for sure, knew it was more than just liking it. The intensity of the kiss, the way it had made his heart race, and the way he had lost himself in it—it was all consuming.

Fourth couldn't remember much about what happened after the kiss. His mind had been in a haze until he had finally stepped back into his room. He vaguely recalled sitting in the car, staring out the window as Ford spoke to him, maybe asking him something. But the words hadn't registered. His mind had been too occupied, replaying the moment over and over again. 

Did Ford know? The thought made his stomach churn.

As he tried to open his eyes fully, Fourth's thoughts returned to Gemini. 

Why did Gemini kiss him? 

What did it mean? 

But then again realisation dawned on Fourth. If he now steps out of this room.....he would have to face Gemini-

No-

Oh god, no-

HOW THE FUCK IS HE SUPPOSED TO FACE GEMINI?!?

How on earth was he supposed to look Gemini in the eye when all he could think about was the way those lips had crashed into his, the way Gemini's arms had wrapped tightly around him, pulling him close?

The memory lingered, vivid and electric, stealing his composure and filling his mind with a rush of emotions he could barely contain.

Fourth shook his head before digging his fingers into his hair-

Should've just gone to the Himalayas when my mind insisted me on doing that soo much-Fourth thought

 There was no avoiding Gemini—They live under the same roof for crying out loud

And....Fourth can't even form an excuse-he had himself pulled Gemini in for the second kiss. Fourth wouldn't have probably even been aware of how badly he had wanted to kiss Gemini if Gemini hadn't initiated it.

Fourth got down from the bed, he needs a shower-and maybe he should fucking stay in the shower only. Fourth somehow managed to walk to the bathroom.

Fourth stumbled into the bathroom, his legs feeling like they were made of lead. His mind was still reeling, unable to process everything that had happened. He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, his reflection showing a disheveled mess. His hair was sticking out in every direction, and his lips—God, his lips still tingled from the memory of the kiss. Fourth noticed his cheeks and nose....why the hell are they...pink?...or is it red?
