"Nort, you like Joseph, don't you...?" I asked as Norton choked on his drink

"W-What made you think that?!" Norton slightly panicked "it was kind of obvious" i said playing with the food in front of me

"Are you serious Eli?!" He asked panicked I finally took a bite and shot Naib a glance

"I mean to me, I don't know about Joseph and Aesop even Naib" I said as Naib looked at me slightly glaring

"You are asking me? You realized I have known this man for 20 years?" Naib said pointing at Norton with his chopsticks "I see when he likes someone" he continued

"Please don't tell Ace, he can't know... I see how he looks at him" he said as I remember all the times Aesop came to me and talked about Joseph to me,

But now, seeing one of my closest friends like this because of him... it breaks my heart, not to mention Naib...

Naib is a whole other story, going around, having sex with all the guys in Tokyo, dating me and Jack, all to try and forget about his love for Norton, unlike the other two Naib is just a dork

"So, you aren't telling Joseph?" I ask before hearing a loud slam on the table

"Will you fu*king cut it off, El" Naib says clearly angry, I look at him uninterested and stay quiet, he sat back down finishing his food

I see the hurt expressions on both their faces as I scowl "god you two are pitiful" I say getting up from my seat to wash my plate

I could feel Naib's eyes glaring a whole into my back, I knew it was harsh words I uttered but those two need a push, and I'm going to explode if they don't get together already

I also suspect that when Ace comes back tomorrow he is probably going to be together with Joseph

I sigh going into my room and closing the door as Fuku flew and landed on shoulder

"Hey, Fuku, do me a favor and spy on the kids" I said teasing the fact I was older

She hooted and went out through the small door on my door

I plopped on my bed and closed my eyes

"Hey... thanks about that Naib, you had to do that" Norton said to the lovesick male

"No, it's fine, the topic was irritating me anyway" Naib said sitting on the couch with Norton

There was a small silence before Naib speaks

"Do... you really like Joseph?" He asked, a hurt expression painted on... Well I can see it at least

"Yea... I really do" he said smiling softly as  Naib looks at him and open the Apple TV to watch something

I open my eyes and sigh "Fuku, Come" I ordered as the owl flew back into her small house

"They are really hopeless... maybe... just maybe another push will do them good" I said to myself as I picked some clothes

I got my stuff and went downstairs

"Guys, Hastur just called, I'll be spending the night with him, I will come back in the afternoon tomorrow" I said as I see Naib pouting

"Hey hey, aren't you too in love, show me some love here too" he said as I softly look at him and head to him

"Have I ever said how much of a baby you are?" I say smiling and ruffling his hair, he giggles and takes my hand and kisses it, licking my fingers
