Dream 10

(Oliver Giroud as Majed)

"Ugh Maj thank you so much for this, I honestly don't know what I would have done without you for this class." I said as I flopped onto his bed while he grabbed a control for his Xbox.

Nah had been helping me for the semester in one of my course and he's honestly been my saving grace. If it wasn't for him I'd probably fail this class no joke. I met Maj just this year through the soccer team since I was working with them this year. It had been really great getting to know them. Maj had finished getting his game set up, and climbed on to the bed with me.

"You sure do make yourself at home here you know that?" He said more than asked in his cute British accent.

Maj was from London, England. He's been in the states for a few years now, I think four if I'm not wrong. But he's great. He was shy around me in the beginning but now it's like we've been friends for a long time.

"Yeah whoops. I'll move over for you, so sorry." I said being dramatic and got all the way on to the floor just so he could have room.

"Oh get off the floor. You're so melodramatic V." he said laughing and getting comfortable up against the head board of the bed.

"Thank you, thank you, lets keep the autographs for later my dear fans!" I said going over the top with my theatrics. I looked up and saw Maj just smirking at me and I smiled at him.

I climbed back up into the bed and laid down with my head on his lap and my legs to my side. Maj just laughed at me as I got comfortable but adjusted his arms so he could still play comfortably with me across him. We were silent for a bit as he focused on the game and I texted away on my phone.

"I can't believe you leave soon.." I whispered without thinking.

"What?" He asked me not pausing his game but looking down at me.

"Uh nothing," I said back.

He just looked back at his game and continued playing the game. Maj had about a month before he was going to leave to go back home to London. He was a senior and was going to be graduating in December. I'm happy for him but at the same time I was very sad. If I'm going to be honest, over these past few months I've been crushing hard on him. He's hot and I'm single and am attracted to guys so yeah. I just wish he would notice me in that way but I don't think he wants anything in that way since he is leaving in a month.

"V what are you thinking about?" Maj said looking down at me.

"Do you really want to know?" I asked him back.

"I mean yeah why else would I ask?" He replied.

"I was just thinking of how attractive I thought you are." I stated simply.

Maj blushed a little getting caught off guard. I noticed that his game was still going on so I sat up and paused it for him and then looked back at him. "What?" I asked him, pulling my legs under me in a pretzel style of sitting.

"Did you just say that for real?" he questioned me.

"Yeah why?" I said shrugging. "You asked me what I was thinking so I just told you what I was thinking." I said smiling.

"Yeah but I wasn't expecting that." He said still just staring at me.

"Haha, oh well that is what I was thinking among other things." I said laughing a bit, and shrugging.

"V you're so strange, who just thinks about those things?" He laughs at me, slightly breaking my heart a bit. I just smiled at him and lifted my head up. I shrugged and turned around grabbing his controller and started to play the game again.
