feelings

"we've been looking all over for you!" ena exclaimed. you noticed that they looked normal again, with no signs that they had been crying just a few seconds earlier. you were slightly taken aback by how quickly they were able to recover, but you were glad they were feeling better.

"so uh, whos this?" moony turned towards you. "are you two like, dating or somethin'?" she laughed a very distinct laugh, it's sound repeated in your head a few times after.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" ena laughed along loudly, as if they were forcing it out. "um- well, i mean- no! this is my friend (y/n)!" they stuttered out in short spurts, with an awkward smile. you swore you could see a blush dust their cheeks, but it was so quick, you couldnt tell for sure.

"uh, hi!" you greeted the grey orb. "its really nice to meet you!" you offered a handshake instinctively. moony looked down at your hand, confused.

you stood awkwardly there for a second, before realizing moony's lack of arms. "oh! im so sorry!" you put your arm down quickly. "its fine!" moony laughed again.

"so what brings you here ena?" moony asked. "you wanna hang out or somethin'? we could go to my room, i cant really think of much else to do, on a day like this."

"that would be wonderful!" ena clapped their hands. "moony's room is a great place to be. its very...spacey." they commented, tapping you on the shoulder.

"i try." moony sighed. "you can go ahead ena, ill catch up! do you remember the way?" she inquired. "um! no actually! what was it again?" ena laughed. "a leap straight ahead and a dance to the right!" moony replied.

"ah, thats what it was! thank you kindly, moony!" ena waved and started walking ahead. you were just about to follow them, when moony spoke from behind you.

"hey. you wait a sec, i gotta talk to you." she floated towards you, blinking. you stopped and turned around. "uh, okay!" you nodded. you wondered what she could possibly want to talk to you about, you two had just met after all.

"look. i dont think you realize how much ena likes you." she stated. you cocked your head to the side. "um..what do you mean?"

"like...how you were holdin' them just now? ena, like, never lets anyone else do that. thats why i thought you two were like, an item." moony explained. "im their best friend, and ive never seen them react like that to somethin' ive said. im just saying, you two might wanna talk it out, find out what you really mean to each other."

you didnt know how to react to all this. was moony saying that ena.....had a crush on you? you paused and looked down, thinking intently. you certainly thought they were charming, and nice, and funny, and cute, and-

oh no.

"i think.....i like them too." you sighed. moony smiled softly. "yeah, i could kinda tell. look, i wont get in your guy's way, but if you need any help, let me know okay? i feel like this could really go somewhere."

you nodded. "thank you..so much, and uh, sorry for the whole...handshake thing earlier." you rubbed the back of your head nervously. "im not very good with first impressions."

"hey, it's all good! no need to apologize. lets go catch up, okay?" she started floating slowly ahead, and you quickly followed.

you didnt know how to express these new feelings just yet, but something inside you knew it was gonna turn out just fine.
