11:58 PM

Still the same day.

I don't know why this day is so fucking slow.

I don't know if I'm actually complaining or what, because this day is probably one of the best days I had in my 21 years of living. But it's just so awfully slow.

What are you waiting for?

George went to his room for a bit and said that he will be back, I'm just here sitting on the couch while streaming his songs on Spotify on TV, they're really good for just chilling or reading a book.

It's funny that my favorite artist at the moment is my best friend.

My phone vibrated.

Joji
Hi, wyd?


Frey
Just here sitting, what's up? U busy?


Joji
Not at all


Frey
Wanna stay here?


Joji
Wait, wait


Joji
I'm going to release a song right now


Frey
Yo, what? Lemme play it on the TV then


Joji
Okay, I'll send you the link right away





He sent a link, it's apparently a track called Sanctuary.

Sanctuary, that word could mean a lot of things, but what comes to mind when you hear the word Sanctuary?





Joji
It releases at 12 AM though


Frey
Sure sure, I'll wait for it


Joji
Ok


Frey
Why are we texting tho


Joji
I'm shy


Frey
What hHAHAHSJDDHJHDJHSAJHA


Joji
SHUT THE FUCK UP


Joji
I'll stay here after the song ends


Frey
K fine


12 AM

"It's out," I said to myself then clicked on the song, it played on the TV.

While the instrumental at the beginning of the song is playing, I received a text from Joji.


Joji
Hey, I actually wrote that song while thinking of you


My eyes widened at the sight, before I knew it, the song officially started.


Go ahead and bark after dark
Fallen star, I'm your one call away
Motel halls, neon walls
When night falls, I am your escape

When you lay alone, I ache
Something I wanted to feel


My heart is beating so fast right now.

What does he mean?


If you've been waitin' for fallin' in love
Babe, you don't have to wait on me
'Cause I've been aimin' for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need


I'm literally just gone right now.


Not anyone, you're the one
More than fun, you're the Sanctuary
'Cause what you want is what I want
Sincerity


Souls that dream alone lie awake
I'll give you somethin' so real


I cannot describe everything I'm feeling at the moment. I feel like I'm going to explode.

Is this a confession?


If you've been waitin' for fallin' in love
Babe, you don't have to wait on me
'Cause I've been aimin' for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need


Pull me oh-so-close
'Cause you never know
Just how long our lives will be


I'm just speechless right now.

How do I respond to this?


If you've been waitin' for fallin' in love
Babe, you don't have to wait on me
'Cause I've been aimin' for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need


I remained still in my seat, my head is on the clouds.

After listening to the song, I realized one important thing.

I'm in love with this human being.

I'm in love with George Kusunoki Miller.


Joji
I hope you liked the song


Joji
It's how I feel about you


Joji
I'm not expecting anything from you though, I just wanted to let you know


I stood up from the couch and opened his door, George is just standing there, with his phone in his hand. He jolted in surprise upon seeing me enter his room. I ran to him and engulfed him in a hug, we fell on the bed.

"You dumbass," I told him and he is just blushing as hard as I am. "You're a dumbass."

"I know, I know." He laughed. "Who jumped on me why we fell then? Ain't it you?"

I realized that I'm basically on top of him and my face flushed. I was about to stand up but he pulled me close.

"Let's stay like this for a while." He whispered to me and I just nodded, resting my head on his chest.

"I like you, George." I blurted out. I didn't hear any response from him for the next few seconds.

"I also have a confession," he finally spoke after a minute. "And I need to let you know this."

"Yeah?" I looked up at him.

He looked at me straight in the eye and said,

"This house isn't my sanctuary, you are."
