"You- oh, I'll sleep in her bed, I gotcha."

"No. Just sleep with me."

"But you said..."

She finally turns to me.

Her form is small and skinny. She's the cutest little thing, but it's more than clear she's distraught.

It's likely she can't decide what she wants right now. And how am I supposed to blame her?

The fact that I'm as calm about this as I am is astonishing.

She holds her hand out.

"Come. Be a good boy..."

She's never said anything like that to me. She's...

"You're so weird."

"Shut."

She covers my mouth with one of her tiny hands, so I kiss it.

We walk to our dorm.

...

.........

"Goodnight, Ruby."

"..."

Her lack of response is a little disappointing, but-

"It's okay, (Y/N)... I'm sure she doesn't blame you."

My heart begins to sting, and I can feel tears welling up.

I sniffle.

"Yeah... Hopefully not..."

She holds my head to her chest, and I use the opportunity to let some tears flow. Helps me relax a bit... I do wish I wasn't a crybaby.

...

.........

He cries into my chest. He actually falls asleep there, too... He's cute.

...

She loved me?

How didn't I see that?

Am I an idiot?

Ugh... Cici...

I take a deep breath, followed by an even deeper exhale.

I'm not alone... And... Cici is strong. She'll be okay.

My eyes close...

...

.........

...

"Yeah, they're finally asleep."

"Now."

"Yes ma'am..."

The girl breathes out, hoping to quell some of her anxiety.
