Makoto dragged me back down to the living room. They were all still annoying but he literally begged me to come so I obliged. Everyone was still awake despite it being like 3:00 am. We sat down on the floor while everyone was talking. Mondo and Taka were literally cuddling. 

that was pretty gay

then again so is my existence

wait no im not gay. no. no. I am totally straight. I had to mentally get rid of these thoughts. Celeste, Kyoko and Hiro were playing uno. so far Celeste was winning. it wasn't a surprise since she's the ultimate gambler. "you should at least interact with everyone" Makoto said. "why should I?" I asked. they were all worthless peasants beneath my feet anyways. "because its nice to interact with people" he poked at my arm. I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Celeste and Kyoko. They were the only people I could partially tolerate. 

"oh hello Togami" Celeste said noticing my presence. I gave a nod as a greeting. Kyoko gave a small wave and put down a +4 card. Hiro groaned and took 4 cards. I looked over Celeste's shoulder. She had 2 cards left. a red one and a blue one. Luckily for her Kyoko put down a blue card. Celeste did also. Hiro had like 10 cards in his hand. Kyoko had 4 and Celeste had 1 more. She was the ultimate gambler so this was probably easy for her. 

Makoto sat down next to me. we were...kinda close. no. frick. I shouldn't think like this. Im not a homosexual. hell no. "hey Kuya you okay?" Makoto waved his hand over my face. I snapped back to reality and sighed, "yes im fine"

Makoto shrugged and watched Hiro, Kyoko and Celeste played. Finally Celeste put down her last card, "uno" she said smugly. Hiro slammed down his cards in frustration and stomped off to Leon. probably to annoy him. Kyoko simply stood up and walked away. 

"sore losers" Celeste muttered looking down as she shuffled the cards. I swear her accent faltered for a moment. But she then looked up and continued speaking in her french/german/whatever accent. "Togami why are you hanging out with Makoto?" she asked. 

"he's tolerable" I replied glancing at Makoto. he grinned and made some finger guns. 

"ish" I added

"close enough" He said with a small laugh. That tiny laugh made my stomach flutter. what the hell. am I sick? I hope not. "You guys have been hanging out the whole night" she said shuffling her cards. "yes and?" I asked. "it seems like you grow rather fond of the boy" she smirked. I rolled my eyes. as if I did. 

did i?

no.

nuh uh.

"well even if I did, why is it your business?" I responded coldly. She shrugged, "just curious" Celeste said. "gasp are you warming up to me?" Makoto said smiling. I scoffed though I can feel my face growing red, "no". He elbowed me playfully, "I like being friends with you to"

the word friend stung so much. Why does it hurt? I dont have a crush on Makoto. he's a peasant. A stupid peasant also. then I recalled all the events earlier today. my heart racing, me blushing.

frick

I like Makoto

no...

I loved him

damn it

why...him
