Author's POV

It's already midnight and Ann can't sleep as having a man sleep beside her is quite odd for her. Thus, she decides to go to the kitchen to drink some water.

She tip toes to the kitchen not to wake Everett up who's snoring on the couch, and it is irritating.

She pours water and sips it when she notices very beautiful melody playing.

She slowly heads out of the kitchen and moves towards the stairs as the luring yet very familiar melody keeps playing.

She quietly moves up the stairs to the old attic to find Felix, nerdy guy playing the music on the piano.

But now he doesn't at all look like a nerd who wears glasses and all the time silent as if he doesn't even exist.

Now under the moonlight she can see how handsome he is with his long fingers creating magic over the piano keys, his ice-blue-colored hair glowing under the moonlight.

She tries not to make any noise for him to keep playing but fails as the old oak door, she tries to lean on, squeaks.

Ana's POV

I stay there frozen unable to do or say anything. He walk up to me not taking his eyes away from me which is quite... INTIMIDATING...with this very act leaving me petrified there.

Soon enough we stay face to face when he breaks the silence

- Either enter or leave. Don't stay on the doorsteps, don't wanna awake others too."- he say in his usual serious tone.

- I-i..
*Damn, Ann! You can't even form a normal sentence!*

Then I clear my throat entering and letting him close the door behind.

His room (to be clear An Old Attic) is quite cozy and very organized that fits everything so elegantly.

I notice there's no bed however instead he has a mat, duvets and pillows to sleep on under the window that opens up into the sky giving the best view of the stars and night sky.

I. LOVE. THIS. ROOM.

Beside that, in the corner the room fits a piano and the wall around is designed like a big bookshelf, and of course his study table with three big screens where he probably does all his hacker stuff.

He covers the piano with some kinda dark fabric before saying:

- "Sorry if I woke you up.. "

Did he really now apologize to me?!?!

His words and the way he said them relieves the tension, and I am no longer that terrified of him.

- " Um... You didn't actually wake me up, I... just couldn't sleep cuz... You know... New place, new people..."

He merely nods to my words.

- " What were you playing? It was really beautiful and .... familiar?" - I say in an amazed voice.

- " it's 'River Flows in You' by Yiruma.
The melody was played on Twilight series"

- " Now I see why it sounded so familiar and soothing"- I say excited.

" And why aren't you sleeping?"-I ask.

No response.

Then he looks up and :

- " You gonna stay there?"

- " Um... No". I walk over and sit beside him looking up into the sky when I see an extraordinary beauty.

" Wow! It's Amazing! Never have I seen this many stars!"

- " Wanna see them closer?"

- " What?"–I look at him not sure what he meant.

He stands up and walks towards dark corner of the room and comes back with a TELESCOPE!!!!

What the Hell?!

He literally has everything stocked up here.

He starts setting up his telescope and I sit there observing. Then he clears his throat before asking:

- " What do you wanna observe?"

- " Hm?"

- " What do you wanna see: star clusters, constellations or planets?"

- " I dunno... Let's search for constellations, can we?"

- "Aha"- he nods not looking away from his tool.

Then he stands up and comes up to the big window that looks up into the sky, and opens it.

In an instant, the gust of cold air invades the room and I feel really cold.

I sit there shaking from cold and trying to hide it, not to bother him. He keeps setting up his telescope and :

- " You can take my duvet and lie down if you want." -his eyes still on his instrument.

I do as he says. I feel warm and when I lie down looking into the night sky, I feel something hard against my head under the pillow.

- " Wha-..."- I lean onto my elbow to take the thing under

*It's a Diary?*

I see his eyes on the Diary and my Hand. His gaze becomes narrower showing he's irritated. He grabs it away from me.

- " You know, I don't judge you for keeping a diary, I myself used to have one... but now I apparently don't..."

I break the silence, explaining myself

-" I know everyone has to have someone to talk to, to share their day with... And sometimes it doesn't work out, right? Then that JUST-A-DIARY can be a very good friend, sometimes even the Best Friend."

- " Catch it!"- he says throwing his diary to me. I instinctively catch it.

- " Now it's Yours " he says not looking at me.

- " What? I though-"

- " It's empty... I couldn't think of anything to write so... Now it's yours"

- " Oh my! I love it!"

I nearly jump out and see that he smiles though slightly but he did, soon putting again his no-emotion face.

I take the small pen that comes with it and think of the things to note... and finally scribble :

And hide it securely under my pillow.

Cold air, warm and comfy sheets. I curl up slowly feeling my eyelids getting heavy and...

- " it's ready"- I hear low voice from far far away or just in my head .. * Am I sleeping? No, no... *
