I’m in love with my roommate. It’s been a long time coming given we’ve been living with each other about four months now. He hasn’t seemed to have changed at all though. Aside from the fact that he hasn’t had anyone over in the awhile, but I guess that’s none of my business, right? I would like to think it’s because of me, but I suppose it’s more likely that he’s just busy with classes and such.

“Hey, Babe!” Robin sand throwing his arms around me from behind as he rested his chin on my shoulder, “Are you getting lost in thought about me~~?” Yeah, he still hasn’t gotten out of this nervous tick either…

“Be careful…” I scolded him as I tried not to spill the coffee that I’d just poured myself, “And besides that, what’re you getting nervous about now?”

The red-haired boy flushed a bright red before pointing at the coffee pot, “Could you pour me some?”

He always gets so nervous just talking to me… It’s quite cute, to be honest, but I do wish he could be more comfortable talking to me given how long we’ve lived together now. I gave him a curious stare. He was so beautiful… I had never really given it too much thought before, but he was probably one of the most attractive guys I had ever seen.

“You okay?” Robin asked as he took the cup from me, “Did I do something?

“No…” I muttered slowly returning my focus to my coffee making it drinkable with cream and sugar, “I’m just lost in thought today, I guess.”

“Well, I certainly don’t mind if you decide you like staring at my face.” He smiled his face growing redder still, “Sorry… I uh… You see…” I waited patiently as he got his words together.

He should be careful making suggestions like that… I might really just take him up on it.

“Would you care to spend today with me since classes were canceled and all…?!” It was just before fall classes got out in December and much to nearly everyone’s dismay classes had been canceled due to inclement weather.

“It’s not like I can go anywhere given how this apartment building is currently snowed in… Even if I was scheduled to work today It’s not like I could make it in, “Besides I like hanging out with you. You’re a cool guy, Robin.”

“Well, you’re a hot guy, Sully.” I could see through his smirk that he was already getting nervous again, “So then, what should we do?”

“You’re the one who suggested it…” I wanted to tease him, but that would probably only succeed in making him even more flustered, “You said you can’t cook, right? Why don’t we turn this into a learning experience…?”

. . .

Why did I suggest this…? “Just be careful… I don’t want to cut either of us.” Robin had snuggled close to me as I cut up some green bell peppers.

“Well, I certainly wouldn’t want you getting hurt…” He smirked his breath heavy on my ear as he spoke in a sultry tone into it earning a light shiver from me as he drew even closer, “If something happened to me you would surely heal me though, right?”

“I think we should avoid that if at all possible…” I mumbled continuing at my task as my heart rumbled out at a fast pace.

. . .

“See this turned out great!” Robin smiled with a laugh, “I think that anything that you make must turn out amazing…”

“No thanks to you…” I muttered taking a portion of the fajitas for myself, “You’re lucky that you didn’t get burned clinging to me like that…”

“I don’t think anything could compare to how hot you are, Sully…” His face turned down to the table as he anxiously played with his food, “Sully, I… I think I ya know…” I stared at him questioningly with a face full of food. He was right about one thing this did taste really good, “It’s just that I really like…”

“Please… Don’t say it…” I mumbled slowly turning my face away from him as I wiped away the food from around my mouth, “You’re just mimicking me, right?” I chuckled dryly to myself as I pulled away from the table, “You pity me right and see me as someone that it would be easy to sleep with…”

“Sully that’s not--.”

“You don’t have to lie to make me feel better.” I forced a weak, sad smile onto my face as I trod toward my bedroom, “I’m just going to sleep for a while, okay?”

“Don’t do that…” Robin seemed both upset and a bit angry at the same time, “Don’t just assume how I feel like that…” He latched onto my sleeve looking longingly into my eyes, “Please, don’t interrupt me this time.” His eyes were dewy as he begged me so intently, “Sully, the truth is that I love you. Not because I’m mimicking you or because I pity you. I also don’t want to sleep with just because I think it would be easy. I love you because no one else has made me feel like you have, and no one has made me so red in the face or make my heart pound like you do….” A light caressing of red had spread across his cheeks as he spoke, “S-see you’re doing it to me right now…” He laughed lightly slowly taking my hand and placing it flat against his chest so that I could feel his own heart thumping along with mine, “You see I really couldn’t fake this feeling. I’m actually a really bad actor, ya know…” My face had long since gone red as well, “Sullivan,” He took my hands in his looking at me desperately like his life depended on it, “Will you be my boyfriend?”
