I warned you I'd do it. Mind you, this one's only mild,yet, so...
and if I get either of them wrong, don't stone me, please.
It occurs to me I'd never really noticed Fei much before. Which is strange, because he's the sort of person you notice. And it's not just how he looks...(now that I think about it, he isn't that bad to look at, it just takes getting used to someone with dual-colored hair.)
There's something about Fei. Something that draws you in, makes you curious.
And I've begun to notice that curiousity's turning into something bodering on obsession lately. Maybe it's just to distract me from Ben's whining. Apparently, Fei and Drew have been being civil with each other, and this is not allowed in his book. I think he should just tell Drew and stop playing jealous stalker. Especially since I don't see how stalking me solves anything.
But that's not the point.
The point is, I've started to notice myself thinking about Fei more. Not just pondering who he is, or why he's here, but just thinking about him. I've begun to get a little worried, and I can't quite say why.
This calls for advice. Which means talking to Alice. I'm afraid she'll take it the wrong way, as people tend to do, but if anyone wont, it's her.
Or Fei, but it seems...wrong somehow to ask him about it.
And so, I tell her everything. About how the little niggling gratitude and curiousity seems to have grown into and obsession, and I can't see why, and it worries me. About how I've even started having dreams about him, for Pete's sake. A lot of people seem to assume I'm gay, but really, I've never been interested in any of that mess before....and I don't know why I even brought it up, now.
I tell her all of it, and do you know what she does?
Alice just laughs at me.
She sits there giggling for a while, and then puts a hand on my shoulder, catching her breath before answering.
"Oro,really, you should just talk to him. Whether it goes anywhere or not is irrelevant. Fei's the only one who can answer questions about Fei. And maybe it's the same for him."
"I doubt that, somehow, Alice..."
"Why?"
That gives me a pause. I can't really explain for a moment, and I'm still not really sure when I do try to articulate it.
"Be...Because Fei is....Fei is mysterious, and charming, and there's something about him that just draws you in, and I'm...I'm just..."
"Ordinary and boring?"
"....yeah."
Alice sighs, and gives me a sort of big-sisterly look, one I've seen before, since I have known her a long time. I also know it means 'Sermon Incoming'.
"Oro, one, you're not really that boring, you just need to have a little confidence. Two, even if you are, maybe that's just what Fei needs, in a friend or otherwise. Whatever happens, none of this will go anywhere if you don't do anything about it. It's better when you know what's going to happen, right?"
"...Yes, but-"
"So just say something, and get it over with. You might be suprised, Oro."
And that was the end of that. Alice shooes me out, and I'm left feeling like somehow she's right.
Which leaves me with one thing left to do.
Time to find out if Fei likes hand-made sweets.
Yeah....
Don't stone me? Please?
And, I am a feedback h0r, so...feedback is good. What you liked, what you didn't, specifics, just please be civil, kay? I'm trying to get better, here. ^^;
