Chapter 6 (Yukine)
It’s been around a month since Taj first moved in. He’s been really nice and I’m glad he’s my friend. He's actually way nicer than my usual friends. We haven’t really hung out outside of school and I’m planning to ask him if he wants to hang out this weekend. I’ve actually learned quite a lot about Taj. His favourite band is Green Day, he loves pepperoni pizza, his favourite colour is crimson, he’s very outgoing and loves making friends with new people. He’s very protective over his friends, loves hanging out with his friends and prefers small gatherings rather than massive parties. The more I learn about him the more I want to get closer with him. I still haven’t told him something that I really want him to know and I don’t know when I’m going to tell him but I hope one day I have the courage to tell him.
Today is Thursday so I have swim practice and I won’t be able to ask Taj if he wants to hang out until late at night. That reminds me! Taj seems to always wait for me until I arrive even if I get home late. He usually goes to bed at 8:30pm but when I come back late he would stay up until 9:30pm. It’s really nice knowing he likes my company, though I worry about him because he always looks tired when I get home late.
During swim practice we just did laps around the pool. It was usual practice. The team is very nice to each other and are all very encouraging. They’re all always really nice and we’re always cheering on each other during our races even if it’s a practice race. After practice I quickly rinsed off and changed hoping to get back to the dorm early since it’s already 9:00pm and I wanna ask Taj before he falls asleep.
“In a hurry Yukine?”
I looked over to see the swim captain, Henry Jones, standing behind me with a massive smirk on his face.
“Yeah, I wanna ask someone something!”
“OOOooO has Yukine finally found someone he likes?!” He put me in a headlock and rubbed my hair until it was all messy again. The whole team came over and started teasing me.
“Sorry to disappoint you guys but I just wanna ask my roommate something!”
“Oh man, we thought you finally got a date!”
“Yeah, but why are you in such a hurry don’t you guys live with each other?”
“Yeah but he always waits for me and I feel bad because I’m usually late on Thursdays,”
“Awwww sounds like your roommate has a little crush!”
“What no!”
“Oh come on you know we’re fully supportive of that stuff!”
“You guys are strange! Anyways I’ve gotta go see you guys!”
“See ya!”
I quickly ran out and headed towards the dorm. I unlocked the door and saw Taj look up at me and smile.
“Hey!”
“Hey!”
“How was practice?”
“It was good! Anyways I wanted to ask you something!”
“Yeah sure, what is it?”
“Well we’ve never really hanged out outside of school so I was wondering if you wanted to go into town and hang out?”
He stared at me with pure joy and excitement on his face almost like a puppy when it sees food.
“Oh my god yes! I need a reason to get out of game night this weekend and I really wanna hang with you!”
“Great! Anyways I’m gonna get changed,”
“Kk,”
I woke up to someone shaking me.
“Yes!” I groaned.
“Hurry up I wanna hang out ALL day!”
I then remembered today was the day me and Taj were gonna go into town and hang out. I threw my blanket off, grabbed some clothes and went inside the bathroom to change. I was so concentrated on getting ready I didn’t even realise Taj. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Taj laughing on his bed.
“What?!”
“You should’ve seen how fast you got ready! Your shirt isn’t even the right way!” He busted into a bigger laugh. I then looked down and realised my shirt was not only back to front but also inside out! I then bursted out laughing and Taj and I were just dying of laughter. After a minute or two we calmed down.
“Oh my god I didn’t even realise!”
