I managed another moment of piece and dedicated it to this. I love you all... which is kind of creepy for everyone if you think about it... Anyway, enjoy, and thanks for reading! It means so much to me!
Monday through Wednesday Ivan picks me up I the mornings and we walk to school together. After school we walk back to my dorm and do homework (sort of). After Monday, Alfred's not there after school. I guess he got tired of Ivan and me, and probably went to Kiku's.
Thursday day ends a little different. Ivan takes a seat on my bed instead of his chair. Towards the end of the night, I have to run to the bathroom. I rush back, hoping for a 'goodnight' kiss before he leaves. When I walk in, he's got a piece of paper in his hands.
"Matvey, what the Hell is this?"
My entire body goes cold as I realize it's my 'How to Get Ivan to Love Me' list. 'It's not what you think!' I lip.
"I do not know what that is supposed to mean, since I cannot read lips, but… how could you?!" Ivan stands up and gets his coat, "You played me like a balalaika, and I fell for it."
I don't know what to do as Ivan storms out, list in hand. A few moments later I get my bearings and chase after him, but he's gone.
No! Now you'll never love me! I sit crying, all alone, until Alfred comes home.
He rushes over to me and wraps his arms around me, "Dude, what happened? Did you and Ivan have a falling out?"
'More or less' I write sloppily. "It'll be okay Mat, he'll come around." Alfred comforts me, and I can't help but feel that this is the closest we've been for a long time.
I nod and wipe my tears away. He'll come back… but I only have four days left. I've killed Ivan…
