You were cold and dripping, clothes ruined-
Was it really worth coming here?
Your cardigan was off, sure, but your jeans and shirt were still moist and uncomfortable. For now, you shake off the feeling and focus back to Seven while following him.

"So, are you going to show me?"

You said this when you both halted, Seven turning to face you and grinning,

"Of course! Close your eyes!!!"

...you don't exactly trust this, but might as well roll with it. You close your eyes and hear Seven count down from 3...2...and...

"1!"

He stands aside and shows you his brand new dual screen computer. Oh god. Did you mention this were brand new? And dual screens? You feel your eyes widen and face breaking down into a gasp,

"Seven!!!! Oh my god!!! How??????? When??? Why??????"

You were absolutely ecstatic, your voice hushed and your mouth into a grin. He twirled his finger through the air and winked,

"You know! From a friend of mine! I got it the other day because he owed my a favor, and I did that out of all things because you play LOLOL right?"

he stood aside and waved at these computers,

"So these are for you!!! You always wanted these!!!!"

You couldn't stop grinning. It was like a dream come true. When you talked about LOLOL you always thought people tuned you out in the chat. Seven was listening!!!!!! You couldn't control yourself and immediately run over to Seven, hugging him tightly and burying your face into his chest.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!! You're the best!!!!! I love you so m..."

You stopped mid sentence, realizing:

1) you were hugging him like a fucking bear
2) you were about to say I love you. To Seven.
You let go and looked up, Seven was a little bit embarrassed to say.

"Yea, It's uh, no problem. Anything for you y'know."

His voice trailed off a bit and you felt a bit. Weird.
There was an awkward silence before Seven cut through the tension with a knife.

"Oh,"

He was looking down at you, promptly paused, and then smacked himself in the face.

"God, you said you were in the rain! I'm so stupid! Your clothes are wet!!! God you'll get sick- wait here."

He grabbed you by the arm and sat you down on his couch, then walking off to a room.
What was that about now. It was kind awkward, which was sort of something that never happened. Between you two. Usually when you're thankful towards him, he teases you and calls himself a god. This time was different. He was sorta flustered. Then again, you did run over and hug him like there was no tomorrow.

Your face was beginning to feel hot and you twiddle your fingers as you wait

Minutes pass, you were growing impatient and just eventually stood up. Right as you did though, Seven walked back in, holding what was a shirt, and pajama bottoms. He tosses them towards you while whistling,

"Wooosshhh!!! Here you go, your clothes are wet, right? Wouldn't want my guest to be catching a cold!!! So put these on."

You caught them and looked through, stood up and began to change your shirt. Weirdly enough you sorta felt. Shy. You look over to Seven who awkwardly enough

Makes direct eye contact with you

You both bashfully look away and you look downwards as you change. What was that???? Another awkward moment???? Whatever. Whatever. Soon, you're in a shirt that's slightly too big and pajama bottoms that feel comfy,

"Thank you, Seven."

"It's no problem, if you need me, I'll be getting back to work. You can play on the dual screens while I do that if you want."

You're not exactly too happy about not being able to hang out with Seven, but are satisfied with the dual screen. It's a fair choice, you guess?

Hours past. You came here at 12 PM. It's 6 PM
You're both doing your own things when
suddenly you hear a crack, fizzle and
The lights go out
