You What?! (Hiatus)

°07°

"You're kidding, right? You have to be joking!" I yelled rather loudly. I wasn't met with a reply, but my best friend's face was just staring at me like I was crazy so clearly, I was the one in the wrong and surely couldn't afford to make a single bad move with his stalker threatening me as well and whoever they were could be watching us three at this very second.

"No need to sound so offended at the thought of sleeping with me again," he said bluntly and I almost knocked him over with the speed that I had turned around to slap my hand over his mouth, but seriously, did he think no one could hear him?

"We are in broad daylight! You can't go around saying stuff like that!" I said as a matter-of-factly statement, but neither Mr Yen nor Sung seemed fazed his bold words. I forgot that my hand was still attached to the rather indiscreet mouth of Mr Yen until I felt something wet dart out and poke my hand and it took me under a second to remove my hand out of reflex, but it took my brain several seconds to figure out what had happened. "I can't believe it. You just licked me!" I shouted shocked at what he'd just done.

"This is becoming far too intimate for me. I'm going to go prepare for the first gym class and check all the equipment is safe and in order, but do consider that suggestion of mine since I don't want to introduce the living undead as my friends and colleagues," Sung casually said before waving and walking off.

"Come over to the practicals laboratory after all your classes, which should end at the same time as mine," he subtly demanded.

"Why should I? What makes you think I will come?" I asked, coming off a bit more aggressive than I had intended.

"Because I'm bringing you back to my place tonight so you can become my pillow and so that we can both have a good nights sleep and not look like how Sung described as the 'living undead' and I think I'm doing us both a favour since I'm pretty sure you're the type of guy to have a small single bed in a minimalistic apartment and neither of us is going to fit on that bed together." He said definitively and I'd like to argue back, but he was so accurate that it just made me cry inside. Am I really that readable? He then continued, "also, apart from your head, which was on my torso and your legs being like a boa-constrictor around my waistline which somehow I managed to untie myself from when I got up, you were half-sunk into my mattress when I woke up and when I looked back after getting up you were peacefully spreading yourself out like an animal marking its territory."

"I'm so sorry! I've never slept in the same bed as anyone else before so I didn't know I was so clingy when I sleep with the presence of another person in the same bed." I apologised sincerely as I know myself to sleep with my legs around a pillow, but a pillow doesn't breathe so it also doesn't suffocate.

"Firstly, it's not a problem. Secondly, let us keep it that way and last I sort of like your clinginess since it's a change from having a massive bed and only one person to sleep in it," he stated and I found myself questioning as wouldn't he take women home often. Khun Yen was far from unappealing to the female eye as far as I could judge, he had brown hair which reflected a sort of reddish colour in the sunlight and dazzling brown eyes with flecks of gold to match the radiance of his hair, clear skin and a sharp jawline. Basically, the complete opposite of me, who had plain black hair with darker green eyes that are concealed by my glasses which happened to have a thin black frames because turns out when you are asked to pick out glasses that suit you at the opticians without being able to see clearly, it doesn't work out very well and I just about managed to find a pair which didn't look completely daft on me as far as my eyes could see so the pair I had was not particularly flattering and I have been told several times that I look 'cute' without glasses. 

I woke up from my deep analysis and realized that I had been staring at him for ages now without giving him a reply, but I had spent so much time gazing at him that I had forgotten what he had been saying to me seconds before. So I decided to alter the subject slightly, "For the sake of my sleep and no one else's I will sleep with you, not like that!" I ended up yelling as I watched his face contort into a smirk. "Although, I have one condition: we cannot be seen leaving together." As much as I wanted a good night sleep I knew I wouldn't get one if I ended up spending the whole night worrying about whether some girl or boy is going to kill me in my nightmares.

"That's fine, but I'll come to your classroom instead and I got your number of Sung so I'll text you when I get to the car and you can follow as soon as I do and I'll drive you there because it's just easier and I don't want to impose on you to find your way to my house and etcetera." He said calmly and collectively, but also just deciding these plans on his own so I was just standing there quite stupidly.

I felt like I was doing nothing so I casually checked the time on my watch, but to my horror, it was ten minutes until class started and neither of us was in our classrooms and I hadn't set out any of the lessons that I had spent time carefully planning. "Sung left ages ago and he was wise to because we are late!" Careless of who was watching at this point, I grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the engineering department. 

I turned to him to see why he was still resisting my dragging, by dragging his own feet on the floor. "Rei," he said simply, but yet I immediately found myself blushing as I was unfamiliar with this nickname he had given me. "The first lesson for all students was cancelled and we have staff briefing in the main building in ten minutes, which is plenty of time since we don't need to set up," he stated, instantly reminding me of the email that had been sent out to everyone.

"Stop making me look stupid," I pouted, feeling increasingly more stupid, which was directly proportional to the redness of my cheeks.

He pulled my cheek gently and said, "I don't think you look stupid, I think you look cute."
