Arin looks around, feeling slightly confused. He wishes he could remember that dream. He gets this weird feeling that something bad happened.
-Stray Sheep-
He walks up to Jonny's table and sits down. "Hey Jonny."
"Hey Arin. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just have this weird feeling in my gut, like something bad happened. I just can't put my finger on it."
Jonny nods, "Well, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's just a feeling."
"So how have you been doing?"
"I'm fine... Arin, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about."
"Hm?"
Jonny sighs and looks down at his hands. "I think maybe Erica was right. Maybe we should give it a try. I'd like to try being in a relationship with you, Arin."
And then Arin fainted.
Or at least he felt like he was going to faint.
"A-Are you sure?"
"W-Well if you don't want to-"
"I never said that, but... Well, not many guys would just..."
Jonny nods. "I understand. So is that a yes or a no?"
"I-It's a yes..."
Jonny's smile at that moment was the widest Arin's ever seen it. "I'm glad that's your answer."
"So there IS a budding romance! I knew it!" Erica said behind the two.
"Yes, Erica, you were right."
"So what about your girlfriend, Jonny?" Erica inquired.
"I broke up with her this morning so I could ask Arin out."
"Oh. I just realized I never got your name or anything. Sorry, my name's Erica Anderson, but I guess you've already figured that out."
Arin nods and replies, "M-My name's Arin O'Malley."
"Aw, you've got a shy one here Jonny. You'd better keep him around."
"I intend to."
Jonny walks Arin home that night.
"Um, Arin... One more thing."
"Yeah?"
Jonny leans in and kisses Arin. Arin blushes and kisses back. "I really like you, Arin. I feel like we might have something special."
