Chapter Text
Leaning against his door he drew in a shaky breath, hands fisted as they rubbed at his eyes, pushing away from the wooden support he drew his phone from his pocket, yes it was late but he called a friend that would always answer. “Sorry it’s late.” He mumbled as he heard the other answer.
“Yeah but it’s fine. What’s up dude?” A yawn sounded from the other side of the call and he took a breath before speaking.
“I need your advice, sort of... its well Ohm.” Sitting on the edge of his bed he let his free hand hang between his legs, hunched forwards as he tried to put everything into words. Telling the other in dribs and drabs everything that was in his head.
-------------------------------
While he was so confident behind his screen, he just wasn’t like that when the camera was off, chewing his lower lips he had a writing program up and was working on what he wanted to tell the other, finally after hours of typing he sat back in his seat, his lower lip a swollen from worrying at it and his eyes slightly cross eyed, he could also feel a headache coming on. Fingers rubbing at his temples he left it sitting on his screen and rose going to the bathroom to grab aspirin.
After taking the painkillers he sat back in his seat, not bothering to reread it, he copied the words that confessed his heart and sent them in a email, silly and odd when the other was just across the hall but he knew he would never gets the words out otherwise. Sending a txt to make sure the other checked his account, Afterwards he crawled into bed to sleep.
-----------------------------
Stretching arms above his head he sat back in his seat, walking out grab a drink and move about after hours of sitting at his desk, Ohm raised a brow raising at the txt that said to check his email, looking to the shut door across from his room, he leant on his desk and opened the program. He had to set the glass down lest he drop it at the words he was reading...
‘I know I couldn’t get the words out if I tried to tell you in person, so I write them here to be sure that they make sense.
Your laugh makes everything spin and swirl in a myriad of colours,
You speak and the world drops from beneath me and I walk on air,
You send me a look and I shatter like a million pieces of glass,
You blind me with your smile til I don’t know what way is up or down,
You Set a fire alight that I don’t know how to put out, even if I wanted to.
Each time we are together this is how I feel, If you don’t feel the same that is ok, and if you don’t please stop your teasing as it is driving me insane, I can handle just being friends just to have you in my life, but my heart cannot handle the games.’
the email simply ended there, sitting back in the seat he had slowly sunk into as he read; Ohm ran a hand over his face, fingers drawing back with wetness on them, a hesitant smile on his lips.
Walking to the other room he knocked only to find the door had not closed properly and swung open, the light from a screen left on illuminated fluffy hair, all that could be seen on his friend who was curled in bed, asleep from his soft snores. It seemed he would have to wait til the morning to tell him that he felt the same. Closing the door softly he sought his own bed, knowing the next day would be interesting to say the least.
