i don't know why the text is all screwed up...i have no idea what happened... :(

TAEMIN'S POV

It was all like a foggy dream, unclear and almost surreal. I can remember the feeling of the van racketing down the road, and the warm body I leaned on. I was vaguely aware of someone helping me out of the van and then blinding walking, somehow making it to my bed.

But when my eyes slowly opened, I nearly jumped out of my skin.

“Yah! What the- Aimee?!” I shouted, too disoriented to focus on anything.

I mean, the scene in front of me couldn't have been real. The shoes and socks I had worn today where in a small heap next to the door and my shirt had been hung over the foot of the bed. Directly in front of me someone was folding my shirt as I laid there in my boxer shorts. That person, was Aimee.

She ing undressed me? She stripped me. Down to my boxers. She took off my clothing. Aimee.

“Why am I ?” I asked stupidly.

She shrieked when she heard me, not realizing I was awake, and threw the shirt out of her hands quickly.

“Oh god you're awake.” she said breathily running a hand thew her dark hair.

Then there was one of those moments when you're sitting there, basically , and the girl you had fallen for months ago is sitting in front of you, just staring. Yeah, this goes in my book as the most awkward moment of my life so far.

AIMEE'S POV

“Oh god you're awake.” I gasped while ran my hands throw my hair, trying to ground my self with the situation at hand. After a very long, very awkward silence in the room two things became clear.

1. Taemin was very near .

2. I had no real explanation as to why is was me.

So I tried to improvise my way out.

“You... you are ...because-” I looked around the room as if some inanimate object could save me from this. Ah what the hell this is point less.

“You are because you couldn't sleep in your dinner cloths and I offered to put you to bed.” I blurted.

I bit my lip in the painful silence that followed.

“Well this is...awkward.” Taemin finally said as quiet as a whisper.

“It wouldn't be so awkward if...” When I caught myself saying this out loud I trailed off. He heard me anyway.

“If what?”

“If nothing. Its not important.” Now we each seemed equally pissed off so I wasn't going to press the matter any further.

“So. Do you want pajamas or...” I offered, remembering when he had come into my room in nothing but boxers and claimed to only where that to bed.

“If we were still friends.” he said quietly.

I was actually confused.

“What you'd want pajamas if we were friends?”

“It wouldn’t be so awkward if we were still friends.” I heard my very words come out of his mouth in a completed sentence.

I swallowed my dry throat looking for something better to say.

“Nonsense...n-no one ever said anything about not being friends.” I insisted, eyes wandering to the various articles

of clothing on the floor.

“I wouldn't exactly call what this is friendship.”

“Then what would you call it?”

“I don't know just-”

“We were friends, Taemin-ssi.” I cut him off.

“Yeah. We were. But now we're like this.”

I took in a deep breath, trying to gather all of my thoughts into the same part of my brain.

“Let me tell you a little something about friendship.” I began, subconsciously whipping my clamy palms on my

thighs.

“When you meet someone, there are a world of opportunities that arrive with that one person. Most often people try

to get to know the other person. The two then become close and everything is going great for them Sometimes,

they get as far as to be best friends....” I paused here and thought more.

“Then one of them stops trying. Thats the one fatal mistake that is made. Its the only mistake you can make. They

start to drift...soon enough those sweet memories that meant everything to them...start to fade. That same person

you know so well becomes just a person you knew. Like any other person on the street. Like when you first met

that person. Its sad really; its what we've become. But its sad. ”

I gave him a minute for my words to sink in.

“I have a headache so I'll be sleeping now.” he informed me bluntly

That was it? He doesn't even have anything to say back? No, 'lets not be those people' or 'but I really love you' ?

I couldn't help but feel disappointed. After all this it was all one sided?

“Merry Christmas.” I wished him meekly as I exited; I didn't wait for him to say it back.

It was the middle of the night when I noticed something was different. Something had woken me but I couldn't

quite place what it was. Then I heard the shuffling of feet and the weight on the mattress shifted.

“Yah...” I said still half asleep and not totally sure of what was happening. But someone was hugging me and

someone was whispering into my ear.

Not this.

“Aimee-ah I'm sorry-everything-I'm sorry ...I've been such an ...” Taemin's warm breath tickled my ear and

the side of my neck but I struggled feebly against his hold.

I was finally able to worm my hands up his chest and push him back enough. He was still drunk, I could tell, and it

made pushing him away a bit easier.

“Don't do this.” I warned him in a tired voice as I moved to sit on the edge of my bed.

There was a moment of rustling as he crawled up behind me, but didn't touch me, only let out a big breath in

defeat.

“What am I doing wrong this time?”

Nothing. I love you. Please hold me again. I like it. Let's not fight.

“This.” I stressed. “Don't do this, I can't take this anymore, its too confusing.”

When he still didn't seem to understand I tried to elaborate.

“Don't act like this hasn't been going on for days now. We fight – We try to make up – We fight more. This.”

“Fine. You don't want me to apologize? Fine. Good night.” he pouted like a child.

I waited for the sounds of him getting up to leave but here was nothing. I turned around to see what the hold up

was and almost laughed out loud. Not because it was funny, but purely because I knew what he was trying to do.

Taemin was lying, “asleep”, on the far side of the double bed.

Letting out a sigh of forfeit and curled up on my side, not sleeping, but merely staring blankly at the shadow the

moon cast on the dresser; through the window I should have closed but didn't.

After what seemed like hours I closed my eyes to let sleep take me. But I noticed a small movement from under the

sheets reaching towards me.

Without a second thought a swatted away Taemin's hand, only to have it crawl back towards me and onto my

waist. This time I grabbed it and placed it back by his side; he who appeared to be sound asleep...but I knew better.

"Not touching.” I whispered.

I feel asleep not long after, with my hand still holding on to his under the sheets.
