——————————————————

       "7:30 AM"
        The ash blonde read as he tossed and turned In his bed. The smell of coffee had gone away, but the tiredness of the day before completely washed away. He couldn't sleep. At all. He's stayed up all night! Every hour thinking of him.

      He let out a deep groan that he was unknowingly holding in his throat as he tossed over to grab his phone. He sat up, he already had bags under his eyes. He regretted staying up but that didn't matter...

       Katsuki swiftly looked around his room before reaching into his pocket pulling out the piece of paper he received from the red headed boy, Eijirou. His brain was telling him not too, but for some reason, for the first time his heart was telling him to.

        The hesitation was long, but finally he got himself to unlock his phone. He pulled his knees up to his chest. He was anxious. Seems weird especially for him. He was the angry type of person. The type of person who was stubborn, strong minded, never scared of anything, and stood for his own opinion on things. Being anxious for him? Didn't seem like a thing.

      But... it was there

      It wasn't emptiness. No, it was loneliness. The night was lonely everything felt lonely even if Katsuki wasn't alone. The feeling always crept to him, if he was by himself, with friends, at work. It was something.

       Taking a deep and long breath the ash blonde typed the number in his phone rather quickly, if he gotten this far he couldn't back out now. That was his rule. He always followed it. Sometimes...

      He shook all the negative thought out his mind and exhaled sharply.

      'Hey,' He typed but quickly deleted it. Too casual!

      'Sup,' he deleted the words again groaning softly. Definitely not.

      'Hey. Ejiro? Right?' He typed, but before he could delete that message his thumb pressed the 'send' button. He went pale at the sudden regret filling in his body, "No no no!" He said trying to delete the message until he saw what made him want to throw his phone across the room and never leave the apartment.

    'Typing...'

        The ash blonde put down the phone quickly and covered his face. Did he mess up? Was he gonna push Eijirou away too? What was he gonna do?

     Ding!

     Katsuki jumped at the sudden noise. He shakily took his phone to check the message.

     'Haha, almost! It's spelled "Eijirou" but I'm assuming this is Katsuki, right?'

     The ash blonde couldn't help the small sheepish blush that crept onto his face. He tried to shake his thoughts away. "Stop Katsuki," he groaned to himself before texting back.

      'Oh I see, and yeah. It's Katsuki. Uh so I was wondering if you want to go to the cafe," he sent the message before quickly typing another.

     'To repay me! Yeah that's it,' He sent the message blushing darkly.

   'Typing...'

       He couldn't help too feel anxious again. What if he said no? Does he think he's weird? Strange? Something!? He put his face into his knees until he heard the notification come off.

      He looked at the message.

    'Oh, of course! I do owe you after all. Today sound good? Maybe I can pick you up even?'

     Katsuki's eyes brightened as he saw this message, his heart swelled with joy as he saw the answer he wanted. His face was a bright pink.

    'Yeah yeah, today sounds good. I'll send you my location,' he sent and shot up instantly, he had to plan, what should he wear? He didn't know how to make friends well. Hell he's surprised anyone WANTS to be friends with him. Which is... not that many people but whatever.

The ash blonde continued to sort through clothes but something hit him. An unknown feeling. He felt it before but he wasn't used to it.

He didn't feel so alone.
