"Y/N?!? Are you okay?" Zane burst, breaking me out of my trance.
"Huh?"
"Your face is red. And you're frozen. Do you have a fever?" Zane placed his hand on my forehead, heating my body to a million degrees. "Oh Irene, you do! You need to rest!"
He pushed me so that I laid on my back. I would've sat back up in protest if I wasn't so paralyzed in my sudden feelings.
Feelings... for Zane.
"I'll get you some more water. Just s-stay here..." He left me in my little bubble of swarming thoughts.
I've never liked anyone since middle school. It was just a small crush. I just thought the boy was cute. Then right after he got himself a girlfriend (looking back I wondered how middle school dating worked. We seemed too young back then) I just shrugged it off and went back to my friends, family, and school. I've never really had a crush since.
Therefore, I have no idea what's going on through my mind.
Therefore, I am freaking out.
Therefore, I need some advice.
I pulled out my phone and texted the first person I know that can help me. Aphmau. I believe she's the only girl around with a boyfriend, so I figured... she can help? I'm honestly a confused mess right now. I'd text anyone. Probably even Dante.
~~~
Y/N: Hey, got a minute? I need some help right now.
Aphmau: Sure! What's up? ^‿^
Y/N: Err... I kinda like this guy, but I'm sure what to do about it.
~~~
A faraway shriek sounded in the distance. My head jerked up, startled. "Don't pay mind to that, Y/N," Zane called from the kitchen. "It's probably just either Aphmau or Kawaii~Chan." Oh... kay... I looked down at my phone again.
~~~
Y/N: ... Is that you?
Aphmau: NO!
Aphmau: *No. Sorry... caps lock
Y/N: Sure...
Aphmau: So, who's this boy you like? Is it Laurance? He told me he wanted to ask you out at the party... GASP did you guys go out?!? ლ(◉ロ◉ლ)
Y/N: Wait, what???
Aphmau: Oh... so you didn't...
Y/N: Um, no... are you serious?
Aphmau: Um... heh heh...
Y/N: Aphmau...
Aphmau: Y/N, that's not the point right now, I guess. So, who do you like?
Y/N: Promise not to tell?
Aphmau: I swear to Irene! *puts right hand over her heart*
Y/N: xD Okay, fine...
Y/N: It's Zane.
...
Y/N: You're trying not to scream again, aren't you?
Aphmau: yis.
Y/N: Yeah, okay. I like Zane. Surprise, surprise. But what do I do?
Aphmau: Well...
Aphmau: I'd try to stay calm first. You wouldn't want to start freaking out in front of Zane. 'Kay?
Y/N: I think it's too late for that. Zane came to visit when I started having all these feelings. He thought that I had a fever.
Aphmau: (￢ ε ￢ ) okay, okay...
Aphmau: What if you try flirting with him? (/͠- ͜ʖ ͝-\)
Y/N: XD That's funny! Seriously, what do I do?
...
Y/N: Um, Aphmau? Isn't there an actual way to deal with this?
...
Y/N: Aphmau! I'm NOT doing this!
...
Aphmau: I'm serious.
Y/N: Wait, but... how?
Aphmau: It's too hard to explain. Come over, and I'll teach you how to flirt!
Y/N: Umm... that's not weird...
Aphmau: Y/N! Not in that way! Come on. Please? I can seriously see you guys together. You're Zane's only friend, and you guys seem REALLY close!
~~~
My whole face heats up. Jeez. Thanks, Aphmau. I TOTALLY feel confident about these newfound feelings. And by confident, I mean I suddenly want to bury myself somewhere.
~~~
Y/N: Fine. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it out the door. Zane's still here, and he still thinks I have a fever. I swear he's like a MOM sometimes.
Aphmau: Really? Whenever I see him, I think of him as more of a DAD.
Y/N: Whatever. I'll try to come over to your house in sec. See ya.
~~~
I put my phone down and looked over at the kitchen. Is Zane still there? I thought he was just getting water. Hm.
I slowly got up from the couch and sneaked over to the door, careful not to make a sound.
I'm almost out the door when I hear, "Y/N?"
I wince, then slowly turn around. Zane is several steps away from me, wearing an... apron? I don't know whether to blush or to laugh.
At least I can tell Aphmau that he is definitely a mom, not a dad.
"...Zane?"
"Where are you going?"
"Why are you wearing an apron?"
"I asked you first."
"I'm... I want to go visit Aphmau." I really don't think lying will ever get me out of this situation. Plus, I suck at lying. I can't even convince the door, which is usually open to everything if I will it to (ayyy #punnnzz #sorrynotsorry)
"Don't you have a fever?" Zane asked, frowning. He looks adorable when he's confused. Oh no. I need to leave. Now.
I rush out the door and into the blinding noon light. My heart's beating abnormally fast. I feel like I'm going to implode just by looking at him. This is crazy.
I arrive at Aphmau's house and knock on her door. Aphmau opened the door, then shrieked.
"Aphmau?" I questioned. "What is it?"
"Y/N! S-sorry, but you're a mess! What's up?"
My drunkenness was the probably why, but I don't mention that to her.
"I'm fine. I'm always a mess in the morning." (Wasn't lying about that. Everyone can't wake up flawless.) "Now... will you at least help me with my emotional mess right now?"
"Mhm!~ Come inside. We'll get you fixed up first, then help you get your lover boy!" She pulled me inside.
"Wait, first of all, we? Second, I don't need to be with Zane, I just -" A few other girls stared at me with excited eyes.
I bite my lip hard and cringe thinking about what would happen next.
