After that awkward thing we had (and a couple of rounds on the FPS game), we switched to a different video game where you could play with two to four players. A game where he had finished and I haven't played yet.
"I don't think you should go there." He said suddenly as my character stood in front of a door, about to open it. I looked at him, suddenly feeling creeped out. "Why not? What's behind it?" I asked and he smirked. "You can go in, if you want to."
"You're not answering my question." I said and he just smiled innocently at me. "I'm going in." I opened the door and saw the weirdest thing you could ever imagine. He laughed at me and I gasped at what I saw on the screen. I closed the door immediately and looked at Asahi, shocked out of my mind. "What the hell, dude?" I asked him but he laughed.
This was going well.
I fought of a smile, watching him laugh.
"You're so pretty." I thought in my head and suddenly, he stopped laughing. "What?" He asked and I was confused. "What?" I asked back.
"You said I was pretty." He said and I started to panic. FUCK.
Did I say that out loud? Why did I even say he was pretty? I'm not fucking gay.
This wasn't going so well.
He frowned at me and looked back at the screen. "Don't call me pretty." He said and I slowly nodded my head. "I didn't mean what I said." I said, trying to recover what I said and he scoffed.
"You're not the first guy who had called me that but I'm not a girl. I'm not pretty."
Wow, okay.
"I won't say those words again." I assured him and he nodded his head. "We're cool, right?" I asked and smiled at him.
"We're cool."

There was a knock on his door. "Come in." Asahi said and his mom peeked in. "Aiden, your mom says it's time to go home." Mrs Erika said and I nodded my head and smiled. Mrs Erika closes the door and I stood up from his bed. "See you at school tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah, see you tomorrow." He confirmed and I walked out of his bedroom and went downstairs.
Mrs Erika and my mom were talking by the front door. My mom looked behind her and saw me coming down the stairs. Mom says something to Mrs Erika and they laughed at something mom said. I stood next to mom and we said our goodbyes to our new neighbor.
"How was Asahi?" Mom asked as we walked towards our house.
Cute.
But a little arrogant.
"He was nice." I said and she smiled. "That's great! You should help him with school tomorrow, I'm sure he'd like your help." She said.
"I don't even know if he's in the same grade as me." I said and she sighed. "Of course, he's in the same grade as you.. why wouldn't he..? I should've asked Erika about that, huh? I didn't even asked for her number." She face palmed herself and I chuckled.
"I'll asked him about that tomorrow."
