Day Nine: Hanging out with Friends
It's times like this that you remember why you don't hang out much with your friends anymore. As they sit there, not listening to Kankri and giving you shit, you realize that yeah. These guys are assholes. Sure you'd hit on all of them at some point or another, and you do mean all of them, but that's no reason to treat you like some sort of sleaze, right?
Whatever, they can all go fuck themselves.
You watch as Kankri talks to Latula though. Even years after they'd been in that will-they-won't-they thing and she finally got together with Mituna, you can tell that he's still deeply enamored with her. It hurts you a little.
It hurts you a lot.
You put your arm over his shoulder and rest your hand on one, rubbing it softly. It's a little possessive, sure, but the two of you have been dating for a month and a half now. You're allowed to be a little possessive.
You're glad when he leans against you a little. It shows you that yes, he's yours, even if he's talking to Latula like that. Sometimes you need the reassurance. She's a beautiful dame, after all. It's hard to not be attracted. But she and Mituna have been together now for six years, so you know that she wouldn't just up and steal Kankri away from you.
At least not intentionally.
Every time he's seen her since high school he's always come away talking about her. And you know that it's just a part of friendship, but you're a jealous kind of guy.
So when all of you part ways and he's talking about her, you pull him into a kiss.
He seems shocked at first, but he returns it nonetheless. His soft lip lips are reassuring against yours as you card your fingers through his hair.
His thin arms wrap around your shoulders and that's when you know. You know that he's not going anywhere. That Latula can't steal him from you through his desire for her.
And in this moment you know that you love him.
