Tahj takes a big gulp of air, his arm covering the top half of his face.

He shakes, and I hear him fight back the tears.

I hop out of bed, closing the distance in seconds.

kam "Hey..."

I try to pull his arm down, but Tahj won't budge, and he won't stop shaking either.

kam "Tahj."

I pull him into my arms instead, giving him the hug he needed earlier, needed years ago, and he crumples against me.

And then he pushes me away, wiping his wet face as if he can hide the evidence.

mc "So, I need you to date me."
kh "I'm sorry?"
me "Just for a couple weeks? Or maybe a couple months would be more believable."
kh "No."
me "Pleaseee, Khamari! I told Moni we're dating and everyone else probably thinks it's true at this point!"
kh "Well, it's not?"
mc "Obviously, that's why I need you to date me! Be my pretend boyfriend!"
"[mc], no. Tell everyone you lied."
me "I can't! They'll just try to set me up with somebody else! Khamari pleeeaaasseee!"
kh "And? Tell them you're not interested."
mc "But I do want a boyfriend, I just don't want to be set up with one."
Well...I think I want a boyfriend? I'm like 95% sure.
kh"...Just tell them that then? I don't get what's the big deal."
mc "They wouldn't understand."
kh "That checks out, cause I don't understand either."
me "KHAMARI!"
kh "And you yellin' in my ear? That's a triple no."

"That's not funny, Kendrick."

"Nah, your face is hilarious. But me asking you out isn't. I'm dead ass." When I'm not immediately shot down, hope blooms in my chest once more.

"I guess I can give you a chance…"

"Wow, thanks, Cruella."

"Okay, call me that again and the answer is fuck no."

I throw my hands up in the air, surrendering to her terms. I want, no need a hell yes. I slide off the bed and walk towards Janella as she watches me.

"Baby, I pinkie promise I will retire the nickname. Cool?"

His hand wraps around my wrist, and unprepared for the touch, I jump.

Kam lets go like he's been slapped, instantly stepping back.

taj "Wait, Kam-Kameron, I just--"

Kam nods to himself, cutting off any excuses I can spew.

And then he smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes.

kam "It's okay, Tahj."
