"I could," he pauses. "Actually, can I ask you a question? Well, it's more of a statement... no a clarification."

"It's kinda late don't you think?" I ask shifting in my seat."Maybe I should go and try to fall back asleep..."

"You won't even be able to fall asleep," he says. "So can I just say one thing?"

I'm pretty sure I know where this is going, and I can't say that I'm happy about it.

"Christopher..." I trail off. "I don't know what to say."

"Are you still in love with Tsukishima?" He asks.

"I don't want to talk about this now," I say. "Please, can we just forget it? I don't want to answer that."

"Fine then can you at least tell me... are you over him, Bird?" He asks. "And if you aren't do you think that you ever will be?"

"No Christopher," I sigh shaking me head. "And I'm so sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me," he smiles. "They're your feelings."

"But I wish they weren't," I say.

"Now don't you start crying now," he laughs. "It's not that big of a deal, it's small."

"I just feel bad," I say. "And I'm not crying."

"Your cheeks puff out when you're about to cry, blush, or lie," he says. "But they turn red when you blush, and you twiddle your thumbs when you lie, so you're about to cry."

"When you say things like that it makes me wanna cry," I say. "And I left my crybaby days behind me."

"It's fine," he says.

"I'm still sorry Christopher," I say. "With your feelings and all."

"Hey, don't beat yourself up about it," he says. "It was just a small crush I had on you anyway."

"Alright," I nod my head. "So now I guess I should get back to bed."

"It's fine, you can lay down out here and I'll keep you company until you fall back asleep," he says. "I mean that's the whole reason I came out here."

"Yeah, okay," I nod my head before laying down on the couch. "Night."

"Good night, Bird," he says.

"Thanks for not going," I say.

"I wouldn't even dream of it," he says.

I know it's super short but it's also five am.
