-- RANBOO'S POV --
3:30 am. you'd think i'd be asleep by now, but no. i'm currently on call with adonia, who is doing math homework, and i'm trying to fall asleep. well, i have been for the past 30 minutes.
"you should try melatonin gummies, those always work for me." they suggest.
"i don't think we have any right now." i reply.
"we can go somewhere and try to find some?"
"i doubt anywhere that sells them is open right now." i deny. me and adonia had grown closer over the weeks, i'd say we've known each other for around a month and a half now. time really does fly, huh? speaking of time flying, i look at the clock and it's around 3:55 am now.
"ranboo, wanna go to mcdonalds?"
"adonia, i'd love to, but it's 4 am."
"please?" she makes a pouty face at me.
"fine." i try to sound annoyed, but the smile that grows onto adonia's face makes me smile as well.
"LETS GO! i'll pick you up around 4:15!" she exclaims. i nod and they hang up on me. i sigh and quickly change into jeans and hoodie, keeping my t shirt on, then i put on some socks and quietly go downstairs from my room. i manage to get out of the door without waking my parents, and i wait patiently for adonia to arrive.
she recently took her drivers test, which she passed, and got a black jeep compass. she even called me about it, she looked so happy about it it was adorable. i mean that in a platonic way, of course.
i soon see a familiar vehicle pull into the driveway, and i run over to it getting into the passenger seat.
"hey." i say smiling. adonia looks over to me, smiling as well.
"hi." she pulls out of the driveway, and drives away from the house.
"you wanna see if theres any stores open with melatonin gummies?" adonia asks. i nod and she turns in the direction of a walmart.
"how do you know the walmarts gonna be open?"
"its a 24 hour open walmart, boo." she says.
"oh-" i laugh a bit and adonia parallel parks into a parking spot.
we silently go into the walmart and quickly find the melatonin gummies, buying them and heading back out of the walmart and going back to the car.
"well that was quick."
-- TIMESKIP, AT THE PARK EATING MCDONALDS --
"you know, i actually looked up what my name means and aparently it means 'extremely good looking' and it's of greek origin."
"well, you certainly live up to your name." i say. adonia's face goes red and she starts stuttering.
"i- wh- i- thank- thank you?-" she stutters. i laugh and we fall back into silence. not awkward silence, more like comfortable silence. i look back at adonia who is looking right back at me. we were both laying down in the grass at the park, so my head was rolled to the side to face her.
"i really mean it."
"i'm sure you do."
"do you think you're gonna be ready for the play?"
"probably not, we still have around 2 weeks to practice though."
"at least we both have somewhat good memory."
"true."
"are you still sure about the kiss?"
"are you?"
"i mean, yeah."
"then i am too." they reply. i smile at adonia. their hair was everywhere, but it somehow looked amazing. their eyes were focused on the moon above of us, and their lips were slightly parted. they truly looked like the perfect person. how was i not supposed to lo- like her? it was impossible to not be attracted to her, and no matter how hard i tried i couldn't get away from her. maybe it's the way whenever she laughs she'll put her hand over her mouth and lean back, or maybe its the way whenever they speak to me my stomach does back flips and i can't help but smile at them.
"-ames? james? james potter?" adonia pokes my side repeatedly.
"mm?" i hum.
"it's around 5, we should head back. we have school today." she says. i groan and she giggles at me, standing up and handing out a hand for me. i take it and we head back to her car, and we drive back home.
-- TIMESKIP AGAIN (SORRY NOT SORRY), 3 PM --
"alright class! that's it for today, make sure to do the homework pages 233 - 238!" the teacher says while the rest of the class packed up.
finally, i thought, i need to see adonia after class so we can practice some more.
i speed walked out of the classroom and saw adonia talking to annabeth, then she spotted me and said something to annabeth. adonia waves at me with a smile and i wave back. annabeth looks back at me with slight annoyance, but soon walks back over to her group of "friends."
"hey boo!" adonia says to me.
"hi donna! are you gonna stream later today?" i say in a more hushed voice. adonia looks around us quickly and replies.
"i think so, but probably not a lore stream. though, i wouldn't be opposed to one. i do have a script i think will make the viewers cry." she says. i nod.
"yeah, i think i'm gonna do lore today. if your okay with it, i was wondering if you wanted to be involved?"
"sure! should i stream or is it okay if i don't?"
"you don't have to stream." i reply. adonia nods and starts to hold my hand and lay her head on the side of my shoulder. i chuckle lightly.
"long day?"
"yeah. i can't believe theatre was cancelled today, that was like my only motivation for coming here besides you." adonia groans. i laugh at her and wrap my arm around her waist, making sure to hold her tightly against me, but not tight to the point where i'm literally pushing her against me. but to the point where my arm is secure around her, if that makes sense. she yawned and we headed out of the school, i made sure to support her up more in case she fell.
"want me to carry you?" i suggest. adonia looks up at me and blinks, blushing a bit before nodding sheepishly. i scooped her up bridal style and i felt her rest her head against my shoulder again. i swallow back an 'awww' and continue to bring her back to my house for more practice.
i hate to admit this, but i really am excited for the play. i'm just nervous about the kiss is all.
what if i mess this up? what if i forget a line and embarrass myself in front of everyone? what if adonia doesn't like me ba- wait, why am i thinking about that?
if my mind is trying to tell me i like adonia, i hope it knows that i am ignoring it. theres no way in hell she likes me back, she just has a flirty personality is all. she doesn't actually mean anything she says to me that's even remotely flirty. i sigh.
"why are feelings so confusing?" i mutter, looking back down at adonia. we are right at the front door of my house, and adonia looks fast asleep.
i quickly kiss her forehead and pull out my keys to open the door.
-- ADONIA'S POV --
"why are feelings so confusing?" i hear james mutter, and i feel his gaze on me.
he quickly kisses my forehead, and i hear keys jangling and his hands going through his pockets.
this man i swear to god.. i think, trying not to smile.
this man needs to make a move otherwise i'm gonna do it myself..
