The next morning I woke up and felt like I was totally stuck in a musical. You know, where everyone randomly dances and breaks into song? And like, where birds land on your finger and sing too? Totally how I felt then.
I had a boyfriend. My first boyfriend. Okay so not really but like, the first boyfriend I really wanted. There was this one guy my freshman year, but he was totally annoying as hell. I sort of just dated him because he was there. He was also the only gay boy interested in me in like, a hundred mile radius. He had the worst laugh ever though. And dear God, he laughed at EVERYTHING.
Literally.
We had one class together, a basic english class everyone had to take, and our professor was this super old man. I mean like, late seventies. Why the hell he was still there, I will totally never understand. But anyway, so there we were sitting in class when our professor had a heart attack. It didn't kill him, but it was totally bad enough that he slouched onto the floor in pain, and the paramedics had to come get him.
And that freak of a boy I was with? He started giggling. Like a creeper! He tried to tell me later that it was some sort of nervous giggle, but I'd totally had enough by that point and told him to screw off.
And before that there was this guy I 'talked' to online. That phrase is so totally stupid. But it's like, what everyone says. Oh no, we're not dating we're just talking right now. What the hell does that mean? But it like lasted a month and then we just stopped emailing each other and shit.
But Toris? Toris was someone I wanted to keep around. And even though I was scared shitless, I was going to make sure he didn't run off. He was too awesome.
It was Friday though, and so I didn't know if Toris would want to see me. I like, hoped so, but we didn't have class. I wanted to text him right then, to ask him when I could see him, but I was totally worried I'd smother him. I mean we just like, started dating last night. I decided to wait a bit, and then ask if he wanted to get together... maybe. Shit, I didn't know what I'd do yet, but I was nervous as hell! I was finally in a relationship with someone who I could totally fall for.
I seriously did not want to screw up.
I got up, and after worrying all morning about whether I should call Toris, he texted me.
Good morning Feliks. I'm sorry if this is a little early, but I was wondering if you would like to meet today?
Totally Toris! Like when and where? I was worried I like, wouldn't see you since we don't have class.
Feliks of course I want to see you. I have to work though when we normally have class and into the evening a little...
Can I come by the library? You still have to totally help me with my super evil math homework!
I'd love to. I'll see you around two then.
I melted into my chair and sighed. I had another sort-of-date with Toris! Except I had to do shit math. Ug. Like after this I'd like better get to hold his hand for a thousand years.
Okay so like not that long. I'd eventually totally have to pee, and that would be waaay too embarrassing.
Maybe just a couple hours of holding hands.
Shit. Would Toris let me hold his hand in public? Like when would he want me to in general?
Stuck in confusion, I finished getting dressed and forced myself through my morning classes. After they finished though, I still had two hours to kill before I finally got to see Toris.
I ate lunch and read some more of that book for Russian literature. It wasn't bad or anything, but damn like I hope that all the books won't be that depressing. It must be because it's so cold. I'd freeze my ass off and be super mean too if I was like out in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway! I finally got to see Toris! I was super nervous—my hands were sweaty and gross. There was no way I could hold Toris' hand like that. He'd probably stare at me in disgust and like, tell me to get a paper towel or something.
Toris was so adorable at that desk. It was a side desk for the entrance that like, almost never got used. The library didn't want people stealing shit though, so they put a desk at the back to check out your books. I always felt super sorry for the people who got stuck at it.
Now I was jumping for joy.
Not literally though. I did that at home, thank you.
But honey, Toris was sitting there fidgeting and staring at the clock. I wanted to jump right then. I'm totally evil, and had decided to get there a little late. He'd said 'around two' and after like, a half hour trying to figure out what that meant, I decided to get there a little late just so I wouldn't crowd him.
"Hey Toris! Sorry I'm late!" I threw my backpack down on the desk and walked around it. He had grabbed another chair, and set it next to him so I plopped down in it.
"Oh don't worry Feliks. I wasn't waiting long, and besides I was able to do some homework."
I leaned in and... okay well I think I like, leered at him. He started blushing again, and his eyes got super wide as I got closer.
"Hmm? You weren't waiting? And who was watching the clock with like a total nervous face?" My smile got wider as his blush only got worse, and I knew I was right.
"I...Well... You..." Toris sighed, crossed his arms, and buried his face in them. "Yes... I was waiting for you..."
He looked so adorable just then I couldn't stop myself—I leaned forward and rubbed my nose in his hair.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting Toris..." I whispered softly into his hair.
Then my brain started talking to me again, well like yelling actually, and I pulled away from him. We watched each other out of the corners of our eyes, and I could see a blurry Toris looking back at me.
"So! Math! Like save me from the hell I'm in!" Shoving my book over to him, I tried to calm down. Toris was just so damn cute.
Twenty minutes in I was in tears and remembering why I hated math.
"Feliks... It's a square... a four sided figure. Squares optimize the area inside for how much fencing you can use. See? You have 400 meters of fencing, so how long do the sides need to be to have the most area inside?"
"It's like totally stupid is what it is! And how many cows is he like planning on putting in there?" I huffed.
Toris looked at me for a moment. "I don't think that has anything to do with the math problem..."
I was so stressed I was about to start crying again. "But Honda did like this crazy thing with a stupid graphing calculator and like this little beeping thing that went along the graph line and we had to like find the high point and then—"
Suddenly a hand was over my mouth. I looked over to Toris, but he looked like had headache... His eyes were squinted shut too...
"Feliks. I know what Honda told you. But look at the problem." His hand didn't move, and as tempted as I was to lick him, I decided that it'd be like better not to.
I looked at the problem again, but still didn't see it. He seemed to understand that and sighed.
"Just believe me. Try working the problem out the way I said." He seemed super frustrated so I shut up, and did the problem.
It worked out. After checking the answer in the back of the book I was ready to kiss him again. "Oh my God Toris it like worked! You're so super awesome! I could kiss you!"
The hand flew to my mouth again. "I'm glad you stopped crying Feliks... but please remember this is a library and where I work..."
Oh shit... was it me yelling that I wanted to kiss him? Opps...
"God Toris I'm so totally sorry I said that! I like won't in public anymore." Toris looked confused for a second.
"Feliks, I didn't want you to yell. You are so self conscious." A smile slowly showed on his lips so I relaxed. After shifting my chair closer to him I settled in to do more math. We worked for another hour or so, and I totally got all my homework done. It was like, the first time I'd ever finished all my math homework.
"God Toris thank you sooo much! Now I can totally forget math until Tuesday!"
He laughed softly and smiled. "You're welcome, but don't forget everything."
OMG. Toris was teasing me! I wanted to squeal, but I didn't. It was a like, library after all and I'm super respectful.
Ya, I thought you'd laugh at that too.
So anyway, when we finished Toris looked a little guilty. "Feliks I'm sorry... but I have to work for several more hours."
"Oh, that's like totally fine!" Honestly I was super crushed, but totally wasn't going to say that.
The rest of the weekend was super boring. Toris and I talked a lot, but didn't get to do anything together. I never wanted it to be Monday like, so badly in my life.
Monday finally came, and so did Russian Literature.
"OMG Toris like, hurry up!" I shouted into my phone. "I like, haven't seen you all weekend and now we finally get to see each other and you're so damn slow!" I knew I was being clingy and stupid, but I totally wanted him!
Not like that.
Okay, totally like that. But not right now, right now I just wanted him in front of me.
"I'm sorry Feliks, but you know my class only got out three minutes ago. I'll be there as soon as I can. Will you save me a seat please?"
"Like, duh you silly thing! Start running! Bye!"
"Goodbye." We both hung up and I pouted as I walked into the classroom. After picking some seats for us I stared at the board. Why was I being so totally insane? I couldn't sit still, and I couldn't stop thinking about Toris. I couldn't sleep, and wasn't wanting to eat. I had to force myself to do everything except talk to him. I never got like this. Normally I hate people, and I get sick of them super fast.
Why was Toris different?
"Are you alright?" His lovely voice was suddenly right by my left ear. I jumped slightly and felt totally stupid. All this obsession with Toris and I like, didn't even notice him sitting next to me.
"There you are! Finally!" I... okay I sort of like, squealed and threw myself on him... But at least Toris didn't seem to mind. He laughed softly and hugged me back.
"I didn't take that long Feliks. Class is about to start though."
I let go of him and saw that Scarf Freak was walking past us. Wait, why the hell was he turning around?
"Toris, I almost forgot. I brought the book you asked me about. Please let me know what you think, дa? I am most interested." The creeper handed Toris this huge ass book, and then finally walked off.
But not after starting at MY BOYFRIEND for like a fucking minute!
"Toris like, what the hell? When did you talk to him?" I tried to whisper, and think I like actually succeeded, because no one stared at us.
He seemed surprised though, which totally pissed me off.
"I went to his office hours. I had a few questions, and then we talked about literature for a bit. Feliks... why are you upset?"
"Whatever." I huffed and turned away. Toris should totally have known why I was pissed. I mean seriously though? That weirdo was like, all hot and bothered for him. Either Toris was super dense, or a total ass hole.
I sat thinking as Scarf Monster talked and Toris took notes.
Toris totally wasn't an ass. Which had to mean that he was dense. Right? I glanced over at him from where I was—resting my head on my folded arms.
No. He wasn't a jerk. He was just blind and totally liked literature.
I gave a totally huge sigh and settled in to actually try to listen. He just talked about a bunch of random crap—why this dead dude may have wrote what he did. Well sorry your wife was a total slut but like, why do I have to care about that? Ug.
When class finally ended Toris glanced over at me.
"Are you... um..." He fidgeted slightly and then started packing his stuff up.
"I'm like not mad anymore Toris. I totally know you just wanted to talk about books and shit. But Toris be careful okay? That guy is creepy, and totally wants you." I tried to say it like, sternly... or something. I totally must not have though, because Toris just smiled.
"Feliks you are just being silly. He's a nice man."
Sure. Because that giant who had a voice like a little kids was totally harmless.
Bull shit.
I'd stay jealous no matter what Toris said. I'd just have to like, work out a way to keep my boyfriend away from him.
We walked out of class and then Toris coughed slightly. It was a totally cute little cough—the kind that's suppose to like, break the ice or something.
"Yes?" I leaned over and put my face close to his. He blushed bright red at how close I was stuttering out, "U-uh... I... Feliks... Would you like to... go to dinner with me?..." The last words were sort of whispered, but I still totally heard them.
"Like totally Toris! Why wouldn't I you big dork? When? Where? Casual? Formal? Tell me!"
His blue eyes widened at the questions and it took him a second to answer.
"Um... I was thinking Friday night. I don't have to work this Friday so we can go early if you'd like, and spend the evening together..."
I hugged him and rubbed my nose into his neck. "You are so totally wicked. Have I told you that?"
"You may have mentioned it." Toris' voice was muffled as he buried his face in my shoulder. He was probably super embarrassed, but I had totally never been happier.
Like, ever.
"We can decide where and the rest later in the week if you'd like." We let go of each other and I nodded.
This week was going to be the like, longest wait ever.
AN: Again thank you for reading and please review! : 3
