Katie's P.O.V.

"Hey, Katie?" Sarah says, entering the room. She hands me a box of apple juice.

"Yeah?" I ask, jerking my Wii remote to the right in an attempt to not drive off the edge of Wario's Gold Mine. She sits down next to me, crossing her legs.

"I thought I should let you know that Phil's coming over."

"What?!" I drop my juice.

"Well, actually, he's already here, right in the front hall. I called him, inviting him over yesterday."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I yelp. She shrugs and stands back up. "If you're not going to get him, then I am." My mouth has gone completely dry. I was not expecting Phil to come over. I look down at the shark footie pajamas that I'm sporting and let out a groan.

"What's with all the groaning?" Phil asks, leaning on the doorframe. "I like the onesie." He comments, a grin creeping on his face. Damnit, Sarah.

"Thanks," I manage to choke out. "Wanna play?" I motion at the TV just in time to see me fling myself off of the edge once again. He nods enthusiastically and sits himself down quite close to me. I hand him a controller and start up a new game.

"I call Diddy Kong!" We cry in unison.

"No fair!" Phil fake-whines as I select the character.

"All's fair in love and war." I reply.

"What are you implying?" I can hear the smirk in his voice, but I refuse to look over. I don't say anything, I just go on to select a random course.

"I should warn you that I'm pretty good at this," Phil chuckles, though I know he's kidding.

"Did you see my racing earlier?" This gets a laugh from the both of us. The course selected turns out to be Yoshi Falls.

"Yes! A course that can display my full potential!"

"Of course," I giggle as the race starts. I go straight, whereas Phil seems to slowly turn to the right, eventually falling off into the watery pit.

"Er, I think there's something wrong with the remote." He mutters, fixing my hair.

"Sure, it's the remote," I say, rounding a corner finishing my final lap.

"You know what we need?" Phil says, diggin in his pocket. I raise my eyebrow at him as he pulls something out. "Music!" He untangles his headphones handing one earbud to me. I smile and take it.

"Oh, you'll most definitely win now!" I say as Ready to Go by Panic! At The Disco breaks out. "This is my favorite band!"

"I know," He grins, scooting closer to me so the earbud doesn't fall out of my ear. He's so close, I can feel his body heat radiate off of him through my footie pajamas. And I don't mind it one bit.

Phil's P.O.V.

Am I sitting too close to her? Is she okay with it? I know I am. Thoughts cloud my mind, my focus completely off of the game. I can't help but to stare at Katie, and I don't know why. It's like some invisible force is drawing my eyes towards her. God, she's beautiful. She bites her lip in concentration as she plays, her tongue occasionally sticking out to the side. Sitting cross legged in her attire with her hair in two braids like it is makes her look like a little kid. In an adorable way, of course. I try to turn away from her, but it's nearly impossible. What's happening?

Ready to Go stops and Always, also by Panic!, come on. I study Katie more carefully as she gets more into the game. Her face looks relaxed, but the rest of her body is tense and intent on winning. The chorus of the song comes just as she passes the finish line.

"Yes! I won!" She throws her arms in the air and leans over on me, giving me a hug. Hugs aren't scarce between us, but this one throws me off. It seems more content that the other numerous ones we've shared. I hug her until she pulls away, keeping her face just inches from mine.

"Yes, you did." I smile, brushing the stray bits of hair away from her face. What am I doing? She smiles back at me. I stare into her bright, blue-grey eyes, and she seems to be staring into mine. Wait. Is she coming closer? No. I'm leaning in.

"Ehem," Sarah clears her throat. Katie and I jump apart at the slight noise, both of us a bit red. "Erm, Phil, Dan called. He accidentally caught some mice that you were worried about."

"Accidentally?" I retort, trying to break the awkward barrier.

"Yeah. He said he put your laundry basket down on the ground over them with out even realizing it." She laughs. "He needs you to go home. He told me he's not scared, but trust me, he is." I nod at her and get up off of the floor.

"Bye, Katie," I say, shyly.

"Bye, Philly," She smiles at me, then at the floor. Sarah grabs my arm and yanks me out into the hallway.

"Listen up, you are not to hurt her, you hear me, Lester?" Her eyes flash me a warning. She's being serious.

"I know. I would nev-"

"I swear to god, if she ever comes home crying, you'll never hear the end of it from me." She says, waggling a finger in my face. I grab her hand to stop it from moving.

"Sarah, I would never, never, never, hurt her. I can't even imagine doing so, okay?" She sates at me, breathing heavily.

"Fine. Just, please, be careful with her. She deserves someone who'll look after her." I don't question what she means by that. Before I know what's happening, she pulls me into a hug. "She deserves you, and you deserve her." She releases her grip on me and boots me out the door.

"Say hi to Dan for me. Also, you may want to start planning something special. You two need to get together as soon as possible." The door shuts with a swift click, leaving me with just my thoughts.
