He was making dinner. “Hey, Tim?” He says, leaning into the doorway. “Dinner’s ready.” ”’Mkay.” I hum, trying to tune back into reality. I still can’t believe he likes me back. “I’m… why me?” I whisper. “Because you’re you, Timmy. That’s why.” ”That’s like, the reason you should stay away from me.” I laugh. “Because I’m me.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” He asks, flopping down next to me. “I’m me. I’m weird, I’m not @ttract!ve, and I have weird memories from a life I barely remember. I might even be a killer. Are you sure you want this?” ”Dude.” He pokes my stomach. “I know all that, and yes i want…” he motions to me laying on the bed, “…this.” My face reddens. “Are you su-“ ”One HUNDRED percent. Come on, dinner’s getting cold.” He gets up and holds out his hand to me. I sigh and follow him into his kitchen. Enchiladas sit on two plates on the island. He hands me a plate and a fork and I hop up on a stool. So, he really likes me? What the heck was I waiting for this whole time, then? “I feel stupid.” I mumble, picking at my food. “Don’t call my boyfriend stupid.” He says softly. My shoulders lift. ‘My boyfriend’. He called me his boyfriend. I groan and bury my face in my hands. “Oh you’re going to have to get used to that.” I say. “Because your boyfriend is a big idiot.” “Well… he’s my idiot.” Tango says stubbornly. My face burns. “Oh my goddess- STOPPPP.” I groan, laughing. “Let me- AGHH!” He pats my shoulder. “There, there.” He ruffles my hair with one hand. I shove a bite of enchilada in my mouth to stop me from saying anything else stupid. He leans in close to my ear and whispers, “Can we have cute nicknames? Because like, I think you’re really cute-“ “And Jimmy isn’t a cute name?” “NO! That’s not- i- don’t- I mean, yeah it is, don’t put words in my- TIM, UGHH.” “Well, Tek, maybe get good.” I mumble. His flames turn bright pink. I burst out laughing. ”Ooohh, did you like that?” I tease His race reddens. “That’s- Tim- I- ‘s not fair..l…” I laugh and poke his side. “You know your sister thinks we’re both idiots?” “Oh definitely.”
