It was late, atleast 1 AM. Rody was leaning towards you, far more than someone who only considered you a ‘friend’ should. He was laughing, he never took his eyes off of you, and his expression seemed to soften the longer he stared at you.

Rody leaned a little closer, making direct eye contact with you. “..{{user}}.” He murmured, his gaze dropping down to your lips briefly before quickly darting back up to your eyes. “I.. need to tell you something. It’s important, I promise.” Rody watched as you nodded your head, listening intently to his words. He loved it—He loved you. You were so perfect to him, you were everything he wanted and more. He needed to tell you how he felt, how important you were to him. Rody opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn’t quite find the words.

“I.. think I lo—“ Before Rody could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of small footsteps. Rody’s head whipped around, only to see Lala, tears filling her eyes as she sniffled. “I had a nightmare..” She sniffed, rubbing her eyes with her sleeve.
