Ships Happen - Zane~Chan

~(8)~

Kawaii~Chan tries to avoid eye contact with me.

"Kawaii~Chan," I whisper. "I'm sorry..." I honestly didn't know what else to say.

"It's- uh- fine. Kawaii~Chan is just gonna go to her room now," she says and begins to walk towards the stairs.

"Kawaii~Chan, wait," I say.

She turns to look at me, but she looks down to the floor.

I walk over to her.

"Look at me," I say.

Kawaii~Chan does as told.

I come to notice her golden eyes and stare into them.

"The thruth is, I think I like you, in a way I've never felt before," I say as I scratch the back of my head. Then, I turn away.

I've never expressed any feelings this much before. I've never really opened up to a person that much other than Aphmau. The only people who knows me are my brothers and they really don't. Would it really be that complicated to open up to Kawaii~Chan?

"Zane~Kun?" I hear Kawaii~Chan say behind me, walking closer.

"Yes?" I ask, remaining where I was standing.

"K-Kawaii~Chan likes you, too," she says.

I'm amazed. She just confessed right in front of me, well behind me.

I turn to Kawaii~Chan. She was hanging her head in shame. I walked up to her and rose her chin with my finger tips.

"Please don't let things be awkward between us," I say, her looking up at me.

She nods her head. I put out my empty arms and she and I hug.

The hug is warm and welcoming. Kawaii~Chan seems to be comfortable. The hug lasts for a few more seconds, until I lean out of it.

"I better get going then," I say with a small smile.

"Okay," Kawaii~Chan says and looks back down at the floor again.

I walk towards the front door. On my way out, I hear a voice behind me.

"Ahem," I turn around to see Katelyn. "So, you like Kawaii~Chan?"

My eyes widened. No! Did she over hear my conversation with Kawaii~Chan?

"Um, no. Why would I?" I cover, crossing my arms.

"I don't know. It just kind of seems like it," she says, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh," I say and walk out the door.

I think I did pretty good covering for myself and Kawaii~Chan. If I had told Katelyn that I like Kawaii~Chan in that way, then she would've linked it to Kawaii~Chan, too.

I get home after walking. I open and close my door, after getting inside. I sit down on my couch, thinking about my dream the previous night.

Is that how I really feel about Kawaii~Chan? I mean, it could be more or the less. I really don't know.

I decide to turn on my TV and watch My Little Horsies for the rest of my day.
