My eyes slowly fluttered open, Letting in the outside world. I soon became aware that This wasn't my room but Elijah's, and I became aware of two arms wrapped around my arm as the body belonging to said arms snuggled against my side. I turned my head to see Elijah sleeping peacefully. His face was calm and He looked as if there were no worries in the world, He was in the land of dreams where nothing could disturb him, except for nightmares. I managed to wiggle my arm out from his with out waking him up and I stood up. I looked at his alarm clock. It was 10:43 in the morning. I had a class in 20 minutes. I went out to the kitchen and filled a glass with water, then I went to the bathroom and got set the water down on the counter. I shuffled through the medics cabinet and poured 4 Ibuprofen pills into my hand and brought them to Elijah's room. I found a sticky note and wrote a note in my Half Print-Half Cursive font and I read it over.
You probably have a killer headache so here some Ibuprofen and some water. Feel better soon
-YN
I set the note next to the Glass of water and the pills before I went to my room and got dressed before heading to my class.
I let myself into my dorm and Walked to my room where I set my backpack down. I went into the hall and knocked quietly on Elijah's door.
"Come in." His muffled voice groaned. I slowly opened to door. Elijah still laid in bed, But you could tell he was not having fun. He saw me in the door and he tried to sit up.
"N-n-n-n-n-n-no." I say quickly and walk to his side.
"I'm fine." He groaned. "Thanks for the uh- for the Water n' stuff." He says tiredly.
"No problem. You were really drunk last night so I figured you would need it." I shrug, remembering that kiss. Yeah... He was just really drunk.
"What happened last night?" He asks.
"Well, You were just super drunk so I brought you back here and you fell asleep." I shrug, Leaving out the kiss and the whole me-becoming-a-Human-teddy-bear part. Elijah nodded slowly.
"Sorry I had to pull you away from the party." He groans.
"It's Fine. I was just talking to my friend." I shrug. Elijah sighed.
"Dang... I don't remember anything." He furrows his brows.
"Eh, Nothing really happened." I lie. Elijah shrugged.
"You should maybe just rest." I suggest. Elijah nods.
"Thanks again." He says, His Hazel eyes staring into mine.
"No problem." I say quietly and close the door.
It's been a week since that kiss... It was weird since that was my Second kiss ever. My first kiss was with one of my friends, Peter, in Freshman year. It was a dare. I heard a knock on the door of Our dorm. I stood up from the couch and opened it. There stood a boy. He looked almost exactly like Elijah. Though, His hair was straight and fell to the right side of his face, He had a slightly shorter face, His jawline wasn't as strong, His eyes were more of a light brown compared to the Brown with Flecks of green that Elijah had.
"Uh, Is Elijah Best here?" He asks.
"Uh yeah, I can go get him." I nod.
"That would be great." He smiles. I walked to Elijah's door and knocked.
"Yeah?" He asked from inside.
"Someone's here for you!" I call. Elijah walked into the living room and saw His twin. Smiles broke into each boys face. They hugged and Elijah turned to me.
"YN, This is My Twin brother, Ethan." He smiles, "Ethan, This is one of my two roommates, YN." Elijah introduces us. I smiled and shook his hand.
"I'm told that you haven't seen each other in a while so, I'll leave you to catch up." I nod and head to my bedroom.
I sat In my bedroom, tugging at my hair angrily. I've been studying for 3 hours and I haven't learned anything useful!
"God Dang it!" I exclaim and slam my book shut. I heard the front door shut. It must've been Elijah coming back after taking Ethan to the airport after his week long visit. I paced angrily across my room, still tugging at my hair and always letting out frustrated groans or yells through gritted teeth. My door opened slightly.
"You good?" Elijah asks.
"No!" I exclaim.
"What's going on?" He asks, stepping in and shutting the door.
"I've been studying for 3 hours and all of it is pointless! I don't even wanna major in English!" I exclaim.
"Hey, Hey, calm down. Calm down." Elijah soothes, coming over to me and rubbing my back.
"This is F*cking stupid." I sigh, sitting on my bed and Elijah sat next to me.
"Hey, It's gonna be fine." Elijah tells me, squeezing my shoulder in a comforting manner. I turned my head to find that A. He was already looking at me, and B. Our faces were very close. Our eyes locked. I noticed how his eyes were a light shade of brown with a green ring and flecks of green Around his pupil. I felt myself relax when his hand rested over mine on the bed. Elijah came closer to me and I knew what He was gonna do but I didn't stop him. My eyes fluttered closed and I felt his cool breath on my face when there was a knock at the door but who ever it was didn't wait for my reply and opened the door and Elijah and I were quick to break away from each other. Braden stood in the doorway and He seemed to have noticed Elijah and I's former close proximity.
"Oh was I- Sorry- I-I'll leave-"
"It's Fine, Braden." I tell him. I turned to Elijah and he got off the bed and left the room but not without giving me one last fleeting glance. "What's up?" I ask Braden.
"So, I have a Date with this girl that I've liked for a while And I'm freaking out." He says in an airy voice.
"What's her name?" I ask.
"Emma. She's great. She has The most beautiful eyes and I swear they change color, She has shirt like brown hair kinda like Skoopy's twin, Ethan. She's only a half an inch smaller than me, She proclaims herself as the meme lord and I wouldn't Necessarily disagree-"
"Okay, okay, I get it." I laugh.
"Help."
"Where are you going."
"Just like out to coffee."
"Wear something casual, And about the nerves, I can't really help you with that." I pat him on the back. He sighed.
"Okay. Okay." He  says to himself.
"Just chill dude, Be yourself." I laugh. He nods and walks out the door.
"Yeah okay." He says before I shut the door.
I sat on the couch, quietly drawing as Elijah watched Stranger bThings. I just let my hand carry the pencil across the page, not thinking. In about an hour I ended up with a drawing of two hands- or Two people holding hands but It wasn't the people it was just the two hands- You get what I mean. I looked more closely at the picture. One of the figures had long fingers and A generally  big hand, And the other was smaller, But Still had kinda long fingers. There was a scar from the wrist to the knuckle of her middle finger. It was my hand. I gazed at my right hand with the scar. I got it in a car crash when I was 14... I was with my friend and her mom. We were going to our softball practice when a car T-Boned us, right on the drivers side back seat, where I sat. I was hospitalized with 4 broken ribs, A fractured leg, Dislocated my left shoulder, and when the impact happened My right hand got a piece of razor sharp glass jammed into the back of it.
I gulped at the memory as I gazed at my drawing. But if that's my hand, who's had is tha- Elijah stretched his arms above his head and I looked at his hand. Relatively large with those long finge- It's Elijah's hand isn't it...
