Having a crush has been an interesting experience for Damon.
Here he is, laying in bed at 2 a.m, scrolling through Kai’s instagram posts.
Damon had no clue he could be this… juvenile, but clearly Kai tends to bring out the embarrassing parts of him.
He never really noticed the appearance of the people around him, but something about Kai was just so adorable.
His instagram was an assortment of pictures of himself, his friends, and the world around him. Damon finds it endearing how you could see the nuances of Kai’s life laced in his social media.
A picture of Kai and Diana sitting on a curb, hunched over a map, caught Damon’s eye. The picture wasn’t anything special, you couldn’t see either of their faces, but Damon still could not move past it. His muscle memory failed him, because on instinct Damon was double tapping the screen.
Reality slapped Damon in the face, suddenly realizing what he did. Fuck. What the fuck. What is he supposed to do now??
Damon quickly closed instagram and opened his messages, tapping on Eva’s profile.
damon
eva what the fuck help me
i just accidentally liked kai’s instagram post from TWO YEARS AGO
what do i DO
delivered.
Giving up on consulting Eva, Damon decides to open the app back up and unlike the post. As his thumb presses the little red heart, a notification pops up on the top of his screen.
kai
you’re awake?
Shit.
damon
how did you know?
kai

damon

kai
damon i am literally looking at the notification as we speak
damon

What the fuck. Why would he say that? He wasn’t supposed to admit that!
kai
what?
are you serious?
im coming over
damon
what no dont do that
just ignore that i said that
For once in his life, Damon hates the fact that Kai lives so close to him. Before he could even act like he was joking, he heard three knocks at his door.
He could ignore the knocking and act like he managed to fall asleep within two minutes, but it’s cold outside and he’d rather face Kai than leave him to freeze.
Reluctantly, Damon opens his front door.
“Hel-”
Damon’s greeting was cut off by Kai pressing their lips together. Damon is definitely shocked, but not too shocked to kiss Kai back. He’s been waiting for this moment for months.
Kai pulls away first, hands still on Damon’s shoulders.
“You like me,” Kai breathes out, looking up at Damon confidently.
“I do.”
“Good, me too.”
