three: please?

"WHAT?"

"I wasn't thinking, Sana, I'm sorry, it was the only w-"

"TELLING YOUR FATHER THAT YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE WITH ME ISN'T THE ONLY WAY!"

"But you have two bedrooms, and we've basically lived together since we were 2, I just thought-"

"No Daniel, you didn't think."

You didn't think about how hard it's going to be for me.

Sleeping everyday with you just a wall away, the temptation of sliding into your bed and cuddling with you stronger than ever.

Waking up to you making breakfast, and resisting the urge to go up to you and give you a good morning kiss.

Restraining my hands from holding yours when we walk to class.

Stopping my fingers from curling up in your soft brown hair when we hug.

You didn't think.

"Please, Sana, look at me."

I looked up to meet his eyes, my own feelings of hurt and anger mirrored in his.

I drew a heavy sigh.

I can never say no to you.

"I'll allow it Daniel. Who knows, maybe it will be better with you living here."

"Oh my god! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he yelled, wrapping his fingers across my waist and spinning me around until we both got dizzy.

"Haha, ok, ok, Daniel!" I squealed. "Put me down, we're going to fall-EEEEEEE"

We both fell to the floor in a heap of giggles and being the lazy potatoes that we are, decided to stay there for a while.

"Huh, it's going to be fun living with you, Sana. Imagine all the adventures we're gonna have!"

I laughed at his childishness and propped myself up on my elbows, turning my head to face him.

I scrunched up my nose and squinted my eyes.

"I can imagine."

"But!" I continued, "We have to lay down some house rules first."

He groaned as if he was being tortured and squirmed about on the tiled floor. I rolled my eyes at his act, while wondering what rules I should suggest. I had only seen these sorts of scenarios in rom-com movies, and I had no idea how to go about it.

"Do we have to have house rules?" he asked in a whining voice, making puppy-dog eyes at me in an attempt to get me to budge.

"You know very well those eyes won't work on me, Kang Daniel," I said with authority.

"Oof, really? Are you sure about that?"
