June 8 2021 10 am, Ethan's bedroom

When I opened my eyes it felt weird, I hadn't had a good night's rest for weeks now, my head didn't hurt at all, and I didn't have my usual nightmares... I didn't even hear anyone begging me to hang out with them... But why? Is it because of Viktor? Oh, what am I even saying? I turned to the right side of the bed to wake Viktor up but, he wasn't there. I assumed he'd already gone home... I let out a sad sigh as I opened my phone and checked out class gc;

Ms. Tara, 6 am: Good morning! Due to the heavy rainfall, we won't be having classes today, stay safe everyone!" Sweet, a day off. I walked out of my bedroom and there he was;

"You're finally awake, do you want to get breakfast? I'll buy us some if you want." Viktor kindly offered

I haven't had actual breakfast in a while, I guess it wouldn't hurt.

"Sure, just let me grab my umbrella just in case." I said as we began walking towards a convenience store

"What do you want to eat for breakfast, Ethan?" He asked

"Oh, hmm, I kinda want toast." I answered

"Just toast? That's not a healthy breakfast at all, how about a sandwich?" He offered

"I'm honestly fine with anything." I didn't want to overthink it

When we reached the convenience store Viktor and I began looking for what we could eat, I couldn't choose so I let Viktor decide for me. He ended up getting me canned coffee and a bunch of cookies. I helped him carry the food back to my dorm while walking he suddenly stopped to ask;

"Is it okay if we take a selfie?" Viktor asked

"Sure, where should I stand?" I asked him

"Anywhere silly, come here, stand right in front of me." Viktor gently pulled me

*click*

"Aww, we look so good, you won't mind if I post this right?" He asked

"Can I see it first?" I asked, I looked a bit flustered in the photo. I had a very awkward smile on my face, but I didn't look uncomfortable so I answered "Sure, I don't mind :>"

"So do you know what course you're gonna take for College?" Viktor suddenly asked

"College? Hmm, I want to pursue social work, but I'm not sure yet." I answered

"Well whatever you choose I'm sure you'll do great, I'm thinking of becoming a Barista, this cafe I love makes the best cappuccinos." Viktor said

"I actually want to open a cafe one day HAHAHA, I love coffee too." I told Viktor

"Maybe I could be one of your baristas." Viktor suggested with a smirk

"HAHAHA, let's wait and see." I said with a smile

"Yeah

We talked a bit more until we reached my dorm and started eating.

"Do you like the coffee? It's my favorite." Viktor asked with a smile

"It's amazing, though it's a bit pricey." I said

"These cookies are my favorite too, instead of raisins they have chocolate chips in them." Viktor said with a smile

"It's delicious! I've never tried it before either." I answered while chewing

"I'm having a lot of fun, we can hang out again if you want, just call me." Viktor suggested

"I do but I'm not sure, I don't have your number... hey wait a minute!"

*Viktor starts to laugh*

"Give me your phone, I'll type it for you." Viktor said

I might've gotten a tiny bit frustrated, I gave him my phone while covering my fave... How could I fall for something so obvious?

"Hey Ethan, thanks for letting me stay the night, enjoy your breakfast okay? I'll get dressed and I'll be on my way." Viktor said

"Oh, sure. I hope you get home safely." I said

"My dad's on his way, so you have nothing to worry about." Viktor said in a calm tone

Viktor went inside my room to get changed, while he was changing I cleaned the table and took a deep breath. What's happening? Why'd my heart beat so fast?

"Thanks again. I had so much fun last night, feel free to call me okay?" Viktor asked

I nodded and bid him farewell. I can't help but feel sad about him leaving, but at the same time I'm glad he's gone, I don't know how to feel. I watched his car drive away and walked back to my room, I looked at my bed and found the pajamas he wore neatly folded.

"He's... not so bad."

"Psst, hey!" I heard someone call out to me, so I walked over to the end of my building's hallway
