I've never felt so lost in my entire life. Pinned up against my bedroom wall, and being kissed roughly was only a dream.

Now? Now is was real life.

His hands on my body, hips against his, my hands in his hair. I can't be happier.

But, then I was shook awake. It was just a dream again. Of course it was. Why would he ever want-

"I made you slam breakfast." Keith smiles softly, holding out a tray to me. "Breakfast in bed!" He chimed.

What's his aim?

"Thanks...?" I say almost reluctantly, sitting up. He places the tray on my lap, still smiling hypnotically.

"It's your favorite! Bacon and waffles with syrup!" He hummed.

Something doesn't rub me right.

"Keith, what's going on?" I ask, hoping to get a response.

"You said that you're unhappy and depressed because you're lonely." He inhales. "So now, I'll be your partner without being your partner." He says.

I'm not sure if this is worse than him saying I'm not ready or not. It's honestly a little insulting.

"No, Keith, don't force yourself."

Just ask me out.

"I'm not. I just want you to be happy."

Ask me out and I'll be happy, Keith. Please. I'm not asking him out. Fear of rejection.

"This doesn't make me happy. It makes me feel even more depressed." I explain. He loses his smile.

At a loss for words, he just walks out, feeling the same awkward tension.

What's wrong with me?
