Gassy shot a suspicious glare at the couple sitting across from her as they whispered and snickered to each other. He glanced over at the boy next to her, Jose, who was staring at his phone going through his camera roll. It took her a surprisingly long time to take her eyes away.
When she looked back to Shrimp and Kadin on the other couch, though, they were gone.
Are they for real right now? They left me alone with Jose again? Gassy thought to herself with a sigh, though she was only pretending to be upset about it. She just couldn't admit to herself that she rather enjoyed his company, even if it was a little awkward to be left alone with him.
"...Shrimp and Kadin left. Again." Gassy announced.
"Bruh," Jose bellowed, putting his phone down.
"Wanna bang on their door until Kadin threatens to stab us in a scarily descriptive way?"
"Sure."
Gassy jumped to her feet and pranced down the hall, Jose following after. Once she met Kadin and Shrimp's shut door, she began to knock violently and shout, "COME BACK, GAYS!"
"COME OUT OR YOU HATE POODS!" Jose shouted in an attempt to at least break Shrimp.
Still, though, they didn't come out, and after about twenty minutes of screaming until their throats hurt, the two returned to the couch in defeat.
"Bruh Kadin's sucking her dragon cock," Gassy stated.
"For real." The red-faced boy huffed, sinking into the couch. "I'm hungry."
"Same," Gassy grumbled. "I'm gonna go steal their popcorn."
"Let me share," Jose pleaded.
"Of course," she smiled in his direction as she stood up.
Jose flushed unexpectedly then quickly frowned and turned his head away.
After microwaving some popcorn in the kitchen, Gassy returned with the large bowl of buttery goodness. She set the bowl on the table in front of them, but immediately Jose snatched it up and began to stuff his face one handful at a time.
Gassy snorted. "Wanna watch Poods?"
"DUH," Jose spoke, his voice muffled by the popcorn in his mouth.
She grinned again, feeling her cheeks burn a little as she peered into his face. He was kind of cute when he ate...
Gassy physically shook her head to rid the thoughts from her mind, then turned her attention to the television. She turned on Poods' Minecraft series and sat back, right next to Jose, since she knew that was the only way she'd get any popcorn too.
Jose and Gassy shared the popcorn as they watched Poods make a fool of himself, Jose constantly chirping out random quotes as he scarfed down the food. Gassy found herself laughing so hard she constantly had to lean or hold onto Jose for support. Jose's face went insanely crimson every time, though he'd immediately look away from her.
After a long while, the night became early morning, the popcorn had run out, and Gassy was growing extremely tired. She turned off the television and, exhausted, rested her chin upon Jose's shoulder.
"Have you ever dated someone, Jose?" She asked.
Jose's face burned up. "One..."
"Who were they?"
"I-I'm... Erm..." Jose bit his tongue. For some reason, he didn't want to admit it wasn't "were", it was "are". "Some guy named... Morgan."
"Oh, that's right," Gassy cooed. "You dated that YouTuber, Morgz."
"Yeah."
"Was he annoying?"
"A little..." Again, Jose bit down hard on his tongue for his disloyalty.
"Do you think... Uh... I'm annoying? Just curious."
"N-No, not at all," he replied rather honestly. He felt dumb for not only acting but feeling this way. He wasn't even sure what "this way" was. He glanced down at her, her pretty face rested against him, and had to hold his breath.
Gassy yawned. "I haven't really dated anyone. If I did, I wouldn't mind having it be you."
Jose froze up.
"...Just kidding," Gassy laughed, regret filling her insides at his lack of a response. "You do seem like a good guy, though."
A hand lifting up to cover his dark red face, Jose muttered, "I-I-I w-would-dn't mi-ind."
"What? What'd you say?" Gassy perked up, lifting her head.
"N-Nothing! I didn't.. S-Say anything."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"You sure you're sure?" Gassy pushed.
"Y-Yes."
"You sure you're sure you're sureee?" Gassy laid her head on his shoulder again.
"Y-Y-Ye-esss..."
"But..." She yawned and shut her eyes, "Are you suuuuuure...?"
"Yes, Gassy..."
"Sure..." Then, she drifted off, fully laying against him.
Jose shuttered, not daring to move so he wouldn't wake her. Eventually, he couldn't help himself, however, and wrapped an arm around her body. He blushed, harder, making his face burn like the most extreme fire and his insides twist into tight knots.
In the morning, Jose awoke to both his arms wrapped around the pretty girl as they laid on their sides on the soft, comfortable couch. Again, he flushed, surprised to find himself cuddling Gassy. He didn't pull away, though.
Gassy's eyes fluttered open and immediately she peered into his scarlet face. "Hi."
"H-H-Hi."
Gassy smiled, once again, and it was then Jose knew that this was his fate.
