Oreo

Chapter 14: Confessions

Orion's POV~

We ended up not getting much at the store besides the onsies and some sodas since we didn't want to have to go back to the apartment or be carrying too many things.  Of course, that didn't stop us from going back anyway due to my own suggestion.  Romeo had kept fiddling and looking at the onsies so we arrived back to the apartment and I went straight to the bedroom.

"What are you doing..?" Romeo questioned.

"Changing into something more soft and comfortable~." I replied.  "And you should, too."

"What do you mean?" He walked over to the bedroom door which I had left open.  I was pulling on a pair of fuzzy pyjama pants I hadn't worn in a while (because they had a hole in the side of the leg that I was too lazy to stitch up). I had removed my jacket when we entered as was gonna stick to my t-shirt.

He looked dumbfounded.  "Uh... didn't you have other stuff planned?"

"Yes, and thanks to you they just might've become much better~" He still looked confused until I picked up the Squirtle onsie and started putting it on.  "C'mon, change already."

He hesitated in the doorway but eventually yet reluctantly entered the room and changed into some sweats.

I zipped up my front then bent over to fix the pant legs under the onsie.  By the time I had finished that, he was soon doing the same.  "We can get some food tomorrow after you're done working."

"Okay.."

"So, do you think there will be school tomorrow? It's been snowing a lot lately."

He shrugged as he finished what he was doing and stood up.  "Who knows... we can check the news in the morning, I guess.."

I nodded a little, thoughtfully.  "Right.  So, let's get our boots on and get going, shall we?  I know: let's get some coffee!"

He stared at me blankly.  "It's three-thirty..."

"So?" I kicked my boots on.  "Get your shoes on and let's go!"

He sighed and put his boots back on.

Romeo's POV~

About thirty minutes later, we found ourselves in a Starbucks.  It takes about ten minutes to walk to the nearest bus stop and another twenty minutes on the bus just to get here.  It felt a bit weird having people stare at us so that's why I kept my hood down.  I didn't want to look too much like a geek even though being in the onsie was just enough and it really made no difference whatsoever.

Orion, on the other hand, seem to have so care in the world about it and was more joyful than he had been earlier.  He had the hood up but pulled back enough so it didn't obscure his face. 

Observing him as he stared at the menu whilst we waited in line, I could see almost a lot of thoughts churning in his vermillion eyes.  He likely already knew what he wanted to order.  It made me curious what he could be thinking about.  His aura reeked of confidence and his attitude was very clever and sure.  It was like he knew exactly what lied ahead and exactly what he wanted to do and when to execute it.

It almost scared me, because I usually felt like I knew what was going to happen in the same way, and knew what I would do about it.  But with him, that ability became very nullified.  He's so different from everyone I've ever known that his behaviour and descision-making is unpredictable.  Or maybe I just don't know him well enough.  Either way, it intrigues me more than I'd like to admit..

"Do you know what you want?" He asked, suddenly looking at me.

Yes.  Like that.

I quickly darted my eyes to something on the other side of him so it didn'tseem like I was actually stating at him.  "Um.. Java chip, I guess..."
