Seàn's P.O.V

I rushed into my house and quickly slammed the door. I stopped in my tracks and was flushed with embarrassment. Shit I hope Felix didn't hear that.

I speed up the stairs rushing to reach my bedroom. I trip a few times but thankfully catch the railing.

I whip myself around the corner and fall flat into my room. I fumble as I try to stand up. I press my hand against the door slamming it shut.

I breathe heavily. Oh. My. Fucking. Gosh. I have a mother fucking date, with the fucking boy next door.

I put my left hand on my forehead, still trying to catch up with my brain. He gave me his damn number too.

I start laughing awkwardly with joy.

I'm going over to his house. And we're gonna hang out. And laugh. And talk.

"I can't believe this..."

I-I gotta practice? What if I choke up or start a fire or something? What if I blurt out something weird?

I walk up to my mirror I stare myself in the face. Okay Seàn you got this. Pretend this is Felix.

"H-Hey Felix!" I frowned, "N-No. Don't stutter, it makes it worse."
I backed up a bit and tried again. I walked up to my mirror for the second time.

I thought comes to mind, what if he's a fan of tough guys? Cool ones?
I walk up to my mirror with more swag than usual.

"Hey there Felix..." I say in a rugged tone, "What would ya say to a drink with me tonight? We can hang out at my place.."

"I may be a little to rough for you to handle, but I-"
I pause.
"What the actual FUCK was that." I blush.

Once again, I walk backwards and then walks forwards up to my mirror. This is the last time Seàn. You got this.

"Felix! Please, let me escort you on a romantic evening." I say, holding out my hand to the mirror.
"Tis my greatest honor if you accept my invitation- Nah. Too fancy."

I repeated these introductions for what felt like millions of times. Walking backwards and forwards over and over again, trying to get the right words. I try everything.

"Top of the mornin' Felix! Let's grab some potatoes together shall we?"

"Felix! Hi! Let's hang out! It took me so long to ask you this I had to practi-"

"Sup, sexy?", My eyes widened, "What the fuck was that."

"HANG OUT WITH ME."

"Greetings Felix, need to swing outside together?" I said, trying to be unique using the thesaurus.

"Vill hänga ut någon gång, Felix?"

After tries. And tries. And more tries, I give up. I collapse onto my bed and sigh loudly.

"I'll never get this right."

"He'll look at me as if I'm a freak and slam the door in my face."

"My stupid self falling in love right away all the time. It happened with that girl back in my home town, it happened in high school with some kid I would call Fe. All the time with this love at first sight bullshit."
