Once Upon A Benkro

Do you seriously like him?

- --$(8#;

The next morning I woke up and I wasn't on the floor anymore. I was in Kai's bed. It was so warm and I was cuddling Kai's Ice Bear plushie. Wait...

I had to poke what I was holding a bunch of times to realize it wasn't Kai's bear.

My eyes shot open and right in front of my face was Kai's. I don't know why but heat rushed to my cheeks so quickly. I mean, we're friends, we cuddle all the time. I guess maybe it's a bit weirder now because of what he told me...GAH, I don't want it to get in the way of our friendship!!

I slowly pulled away from him so that I wouldn't wake him up. My face was so hot I had to throw all the blankets off of me (idk if this is normal but when I blush rlly hard my whole body gets hot not just my face??).

I got up and put on some comfy clothes, hoping we wouldn't have to go anywhere today. Which we probably wouldn't since there's still people after us and going out that night was a huge risk anyway.

When I walked back into Kai's room, he was already awake and watching some anime on the tiny flat screen tv that sat on the dresser vertical (? Idk lines bruh) to the bed. Yep, that's what we have as a tv. At least it's not an old box tv tho.

"Morning Kai." I flashed a smile his way before sitting on the bed next to him.

"Hey. I was wondering where you went."

"Nice to know you thought of me. Have you..agh, never mind."

I was going to ask if he's heard from Damiar since I didn't hear anything from him when I had to walk down the hall to get to my room. But I stopped myself since Damiar is currently a...sensitive topic for Kai and I right now, I guess.

I looked up from my phone and Kai was looking at me but he looked away. I let out a soft chuckle but froze when the door opened.

Oh great, Damiar.

"Ever heard of this thing called privacy? Oh wait! Kidnappers don't care about privacy! Ha, silly me!"

Damiar narrowed his eyes and I just smiled at him cheekily.

"I can't tell if you're joking or not."

"When have I ever joked to you?- Actually don't answer that question."

He laughed, "What is it with you? One minute you're all buddy buddy with me and the next you're just...a bitch."

My smile faded and I thought about what he said for a moment. "I-I was just joking, Damiar"

He smiled softly and shook his head, "Are you guys coming down for breakfast? It'll be done soon."

I looked at Kai, who was staring straight forward at the tv just to avoid eye contact, he wasn't actually paying attention to it. I could tell.

"Um, yeah." I answered.

Damiar mouthed an 'okay' before walking out.

"Y/n, you're a mess, you know that?" Kai suddenly said, finally making eye contact with me.

"Yeah I know, but so are you."

Just then the door opened again, scaring me and making me jump.

"Jesus! Please just learn to knock dude!!"

Damiar only laughed, "Yeah whatever. Breakfast is already done so..."

I looked at Kai and he just stared back at me without saying anything, making my eyebrows knit in confusion.

"Kai, what do you w-"

Before I could finish my sentence, I felt a grip on my shirt and I was pulled into a kiss with Kai.

I didn't want to pull away too soon and make him feel bad, but Damiar's right there, but this type of affection feels nice but...oh god well I can't pull away now I've already spent like five seconds overthinking it-

Wait what do I do?!

I felt a hand on my cheek and I couldn't help but to kiss him back. This is so weird and I don't know what to think about it.

After a few more seconds I pushed Kai away and as soon as I did a loud noise rang through the room. I looked towards the doorway and Damiar had just left, slamming the door on his way.

Oh god, oh no. What does this mean? What do I do? Damiar probably feels...I dunno, cheated on? Because we did kiss that one time. BUT IT MEANT NOTHING, RIGHT???

Wait, this means nothing. Well...it probably does for Kai. I'm so confused.

I burried my face in my hands and tried to think if what to do..how to feel..

"Y/n, I'm s-"

"I don't know why he's mad." I blurted out.

"Are you mad?"

"I-I don't know, to be honest." I sucked in a deep breath. Kai nudged me. "Yeah, I'll go after him." I got up and walked out of the room. No yelling, stomping, breaking shit, crying. He has to be okay if he's not throwing a temper tantrum.

I slowly walked down the stairs. I couldn't even make another move or get a word in before I was snatched and thrown against the wall by an angry Damiar.

"W-What the fuck? Why are you e-even mad?"

"I was just beginning to like your sorry ass. Do you seriously like him?"

"Damiar, what?! I'm so confused. I didn't mean for that to happen, he fucking kissed me, okay? Get over it!"

"I can't get over it you dumb fuck!" He yelled, slamming his fist into the wall right beside my head.

I flinched, "What is the problem?! Do you still like Kai? Do you like me?"

"N- What the fuck are you on? Why would I like you?"

"Oh so it's the Kai thing?"

"No!" He yelled again grabbing onto my arms and holding me tightly.

"Damiar, please! I don't know what's wrong but d-don't hurt me, okay? W-We can talk about it! We've done that before, right? Remember?"

He just stared at me with the angriest look I've ever seen on his face. His glare was harder and colder than ever.

I sighed, frustrated and scared, "I don't even know how I feel about any of this, okay?!"

"You think that helps?! You think I can just let it go because of one thing you said?"

"No! You think I can let go all the years of pain you put me through? And now this? Holy shit, you're crazy."
