(discontinued) i love you (but i'm not sure if i should) - Katemau

a branch sickness (starts with an l, rhymes with dove)

double update today guys c:

♥ - "I love you." - ♥

The room isn't cold, but it isn't warm. The room is comfortable and a glance reveals the temperature at seventy-three degrees.

The room isn't packed, but it isn't empty. It's a fair amount of people, perhaps something she's grown used to.

But putting off what she needs to do wasn't something she could really do.

The blue-haired girl sets a bottle on Aphmau's desk and hopefully, she'll know.

(maybe she wont, but she wants to try a little)

♥ - "I love you." - ♥

Aphmau takes a seat and Katelyn watches.

(she looks tired, bags under her eyes and hair a mess)

Two dull amber eyes look up to meet ice.

(thank you, she can almost hear her say)

(its a nice thing to think about)

It's another evening and the girl is tired. (sleep is nice, because its when nothing can bother you)

Then her phone decides to buzz.

[Aphmau, 9:47 PM] heyo katelyn c:

(maybe sleep could wait, if only a little)

The next few days roll by smoothly, and she's fine with that (days that dont end with her crying and days that dont start with a prayer to a god she knows doesnt exist).

Aphmau stops her in the halls from time to time, telling her about this, and that, and anything else that comes to mind. Maybe she finds herself smiling with her.

It was one Wednesday in particular, followed by a night when Katelyn hadn't gotten much sleep (the screams and moans had kept her up, but she stayed silent like a good girl), when the English teacher had instructed a project.

"It's simple," they had said, "Just choose a partner and both of you are to make one poster on To Kill a Mockingbird."

Well, it was obvious who she picked.

(shed spent that night sleepless too, it was better to finish it now and better to do it herself)

♥ - "I love you." - ♥  

Aphmau greets with a hello, smiling a little before it dampens. 

"Are you alright?" she asks, taking in Katelyn's rather disgruntled and shabby appearance. She doesn't have to answer, "Oh my god, you look awful! What happened?"

She can feel the bags under her eyes grow as she feels arms wrap around her in a hug. (too tired to interject, too tired to struggle) Katelyn opens her mouth to try and weakly mumble something, but just yawns and her eyes close. She hears a squeak (its aphmau again) as she buries her face in Aphmau's neck.

(... shes so warm...)

The hug had went on a bit longer than it should. Katelyn pulls away first, blushing a little and apologizing.

"What? No, it's okay..." (aphmaus blushing too)

There's a long silence. Aphmau probably didn't know what to say, because Katelyn didn't either.

(maybe they were just enjoying each others company

(...

(its a nice thing to think about, right?)
