"Hey Elliot?" I whispered, knocking on his door

"Hey Elliot?" I whispered, knocking on his door.

He opened the door with a sleepy smile on his face.

"You've been sleeping." I observed.

"I've been passing out." He corrected me.

"Hey, can we maybe talk?"

"Oh? Yes, if that's what you want. Hey, shouldn't you be asleep? It's way past your bedtime?"

"I couldn't sleep." I tried to smile.

He nodded and let me enter his room and we sat at the edge of the bed.

"What's going on?"

"I want to be a Supervillain." I told him.

"Okay? So what's the problem?"

"I don't want to be a Supervillain."

"I hate the fact that I understand what you mean by that." He glared at me, annoyed, but mainly at himself.

"Dark makes it look so easy but that's probably not a good thing, is it? He's just so cold to the world around him that he doesn't care if he hurts someone--"

"So?" He shrugged, like he really didn't see the problem here?

"And I'm freaking out over Creepy Luke!"

"So?" He chuckled.

"Elliot I don't think you see the problem here?"

"I don't." He confessed.

"Luke and I kissed and I liked it." I was definitely blushing. I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"That does sound like a problem." He pretended to be deep in thought.

"Elliot!" He was so hard to just deal with!

"What?"

"You're supposed to be good at this." I groaned like a six year old.

"I literally never said that I was."

"But you're all I have right now, so you have to be good at this."

"Have I ever told you that you're really pretty?" He was trying to distract me?

"Yes. Multiple times."

"Well, you are."

"Are you trying to distract me?"

"Yes." He nodded.

"Are you over Felicity?"

"Ouch."

"No, Elliot, I didn't mean it like that."

"I'm not over her and it's really not fair that you look so much like her!"

"Tell me about it." I sighed.
