Good Moments In Hard Times

Alfred's POV

It was 11:45 pm. I was not going to bed anytime soon. To be honest, I was planning to do an all-nighter just for a change in my everyday schedule.

I scrolled down my tumblr feed, chuckling at TextPosts every now and then. Near me, I reached in the bag of Doritos, searching for any remnants of my snack.

     "Damn it," I cursed in a whisper as I noticed that I was in fact, out of Doritos.

          Slowly, I made my way back to my pantry, making sure not to wake my boyfriend up, who was sleeping next door to my room.

          Kiku Honda was his name. We were both seventeen, and we lived together. It was only us two. I had moved out of my house when I was fifteen. I was just so tired of life with my family. It was like being in prison. My not-so-good-at-making-clever-choices friend, Arthur, suggested me to move out. I followed his suggestion and did so. It was a bad mistake for the most part.

          I didn't really move out. No, I actually ran away. I just packed my bags and left. But not before asking my boyfriend to come with me. Kiku and I were dating now for three months at that time. I loved him. I asked him to run away with me. And he did. He was very hesitant. He was so sad for a long time.....

          In the end, we ended up in a rented apartment, very far from where we lived before. That's where we currently lived. But my fantasy went downhill. Kiku was not exactly the same. He was more quiet and isolated, and got a separate room from me. After a while, we weren't able to afford much or even pay the rent. We were basically broke. And it was pretty much my fault that all we could eat for dinner were chips and peanut butter sandwiches.

I rummaged through our food stash. There was barely anything to eat. I grabbed the last bag of chips and left. As I headed back to my room, my foot got caught in one of those door holder things and I tripped.

"Shit!" I cursed.

Behind me, the door slightly opened and I heard a small chuckle. I turned around to see Kiku laughing at me from how clumsy I was.

"Hey you," I said with a smile. Kiku hid his face by looking down. I stood up and walked in front of him. "Finally decided to come out?"

     "Yes...." He said quietly. I smiled at him and took his hand. Kiku blushed and shook a little.

"I'm glad. You wanna come to my room with me?" I asked as I rubbed his hand.

"I..... Okay. I'll go with you," he said with hesitation in his voice. I picked up my bag of chips and pulled Kiku into my room.

"By the way...." I moved some hair out of his face. "I missed you."

I got back into my bed and made some room for Kiku. I brought the covers up so they were covering both of us. I smiled and faced Kiku. He smiled back and shrugged a little bit.

"How have you.... Been ratery....?" Kiku asked.

"I've been.... I've been better..." I shrugged.

"It's pretty rate, you know," he mentioned.

"I'm doing an all-nighter!" I clarified and smiled. "Something out of the ordinary..." I opened the bag of chips and popped one into my mouth. I offered one to Kiku, but he denied.

"What are you going to do in the meantime?" He wondered.

"Go on tumblr." I laughed. "I actually sometimes wonder how we still have WiFi when we're basically broke."

Kiku looked down.

"Oh... I'm sorry...." I muttered. I turned on my phone and scrolled down. Once again, I started laughing. Kiku looked over my shoulder to see what was so funny.

"Hm?" I said. "Look at this meme!" I exclaimed as I showed him. Kiku smiled and shook his head, laughing.

"You're the one I chose," he laughed. "I gave arr up for this idiot." I laughed with him.

Kiku and I stayed up for most of the night just laughing at every text post we saw. Every now and then, we would cuddle with each other. I was proud that I got some laughs out of him.

I brought the blankets over both of us so we were under the covers. Kiku hugged my chest. I put my hands on his hips.

"I love ya. I'm going to tickle you now because I'm bored." I said nonchalantly. Kiku shook his head disapprovingly, but before he could speak, I started tickling his ribs nonstop. He started laughing hysterically and I smiled.

"Ahahahahh~! Stop it, you!" He said between laughs.

"Haha, nope!" I exclaimed as I tickled him more.

Eventually, I stopped and hugged Kiku. I took his hand and rubbed it. From time to time, I would kiss his forehead or his hand.

"Kiku, I'm going to get both of us out of this mess. But if you don't want this, you don't have to stay with me. I'll still love you. I won't blame ya..." I whispered.

"No, I'm staying with you. Without you, my rife would be ress bright and interesting. I need you." He whispered back. I looked at him and gave him a small kiss on the lips.

"I love you a lot. It's going to be over soon. You just wait. I promise."

And with that, we both fell asleep, enjoying each other. Nothing could get between us that night.
