December 10

I'm home sick today, which royally SUCKS. But now I can catch up on all of my missed anime! Here's the thing, I'm a closet otaku and I haven't told anybody else. ESPECIALLY not Josh. I do not need an eternity of humiliation, thank you very much. As a result, I can't really watch all the anime I want to, what with him hovering over my shoulder all the time. So after sending him a quick text saying that I was sick so I'd have to cancel on our date for today I pulled my futon over my head and started to watch all of the anime I'd recorded on the DVR. Maybe being sick every once in a while wasn't bad.

Of course, everything involving that prissy Composer must go wrong! So here's what happened. Two seasons of Fullmetal Alchemist and a bowl of ramen after I texted Josh, there was a knock on my bedroom door. Figuring it was just my mom, I said for them to come on in. And of course, in walks Josh. "Ah! Um, hi Josh. I, uh, wasn't expecting you to come over..." I stammered while trying to turn off the tv. (I checked after all this. The batteries in the remote were dead. Go figure.) "Of course I'd come and check up on you! How're you feeling?" He replies with actual concern on his face. I might have been more touched by this, had I not been focusing on getting the TV to SHUT THE FUCK OFF. Josh smirked and sat on the edge of my bed. "What're you watching, dear?" He asked, causing my blood to run cold. "Ah, um, about that, I was just flipping through channels and this was the only thing that was on because you know, there's usually nothing on during the school day! Ha ha ha..." I said quickly. I sounded desperate, even to myself. "Neku dearest? This is from a week ago." He said, pointing to the date displayed in the corner of the screen. Shit. I sighed. "Fine, you caught me. I like anime. So?" I muttered. Josh giggled. "I think it's a bit more than that, my little otaku." He said. "Not so loud! Ok, I'm an otaku. But you can't tell anyone!" I whispered. Josh nodded with a smirk. "So, what ARE you watching?" He asked again. "Fullmetal Alchemist. It's one of my favorites." I said, turning back to the screen. Josh nodded. "I think I've heard of that one. Mind if I watch with you?" He asked. "Go on ahead. S'not like I can stop you." I muttered, already going back to focusing on the show. Josh chucked and laid down on his stomach next to me and we watched the show peacefully and quietly (which, if you know Josh, you know never happens). It was actually kinda nice, until I fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later laying in bed normally with the TV off and a note next to me. Here, I'll tape it in.

Dearest Neku,
I apologize for my sudden departure. As much as I would have loved to watch you sleep for a while (by the way, you are absolutely ADORABLE when you're asleep) I had pressing UG matters to attend to. Feel better soon, and I'd love to come watch anime with you again. Maybe next time I can introduce you to one of my hobbies? /pp
See you soon.
Love,
Joshua

So I'm glad he wasn't totally weirded out by my hobby. (Which would have been really bad. _) I'm honestly really happy Josh came to visit me, I guess he actually CAN stop being a prick bastard occasionally and actually care. I'm going to go wash my face.

...

That bastard drew a mustache on my face.

Mustachioed,

Hey! I am WICKED sorry for not updating in so long! Iv'e been really busy with my girlfriend and my RP account and I haven't had much time for writing. I'm actually updating now because I'm trying to act like I'm NOT failing at Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm blaming school and moving on. ANYWAYS, I'm not doing review replies anymore unless something really needs a reply. It winds up holding up chapters for a VERY long time (because I end up waiting to see if anyone else will review. ^^') So, I'm probably going to get yelled at for such a short chapter, but whatever. Special thanks to Cherry Neko 15 for giving me about half of the idea for this chapter. So thankyuu, Cherry-san!
