June 20th

I'm writing this in the morning, on my laptop at my desk.

I woke up with someone in my bed.

I couldn't tell who it was at first.

You'd think this sort of thing would be pretty common in my life, given a lot of my general lifestyle, but it actually almost never happens. Usually I'm the one waking up in a stranger's bed, or we both (or all three of us) wake up in the supply closet at the Unnamed Studio together.

Friday had been a wild day, and not in the way I like my Fridays to be wild. I was hanging out at the Unnamed Studio, Yunie was lazer focused working on something so I was having some innane converstaion with Hunter, when Azura showed up. Her mere presence seemed to make Yunie pretty tense, and eventually they started fighting about... something? It was hard to keep up. But what made it worse was when Tara stopped by...

Now, I really don't know what she was thinking, apparently she "forgot something", but immediately her and Misha got into it. She was yelling at him for being evasive and constantly canceling plans, and he was yelling at her for being emotionally withdrawn or something... a lot of very standard breakup crap.

Misha eventually stormed off, and I happened to notice Azura and Yunie, who had stopped fighting for the moment and were seemingly captivated by the crash out. "Wow" Azura said, not at an unreasonable volume but loud enough we could all hear her. "That guy really is a dick.

Tara sat down beside me, cradling her head in her hands. I was genuinly unsure if she meant to sit by me or if I just happened to be where she landed.

Yunie watched us from across the room. "I think she could use some coffee."

Azura nodded, and stood up, making her way across the room to the coffee maker they kept in the corner. I made eye contact with Yunie, and kye nodded at me. I think I knew what kye was implying.

I reached my hand out, insanely awkwardly, and patted Tara on the shoulder. She looked up at me, a few noticeable tears in her eye, and smiled. Not a warm smile though, more like... amused at my awkwardness kind of smile.

Azura sat two coffee mugs in front of us, each about half full. I grabbed one and handed it to Tara, who nodded gratefully to Azura. As I handed her the coffee, I caught a whiff of something more than just coffee in it. I grabbed mine and leaned back. "Alright, tell me everything."

I have to assume, or at least hope, that Tara told me everything. I hope she felt comfortable doing that, and maybe found some degree of catharsis. I have to say "hope" because whatever Azura put in those coffees was very strong, and I don't actually remember all that much past that point.

I was nervous about the person in my bed when I woke up. I was worried it was Tara, since honestly if anything did happen between us, I really didn't want it to start with a night I didn't remember.

Fortunately, when I leaned over to get a better look, it wasn't Tara in my bed. It was just Yunie. Yunie is just about best case scenario in terms of "waking up drunk with someone in my bed" scenarios. It was extremely unlikely that anything would happen between Yunie and me, and even if something did happen, kye wasn't gonna make it weird.

When Yunie woke up, I asked what had happened. Kye laughed at me for not remembering, told me I had more of a "feisty streak" than kye imagined, and assured me that I had nothing to be worried about. Still, devil that kye is, kye refused to tell me anything else.

I sighed and was making my way over to my desk to write this blog post when I noticed, in my phone, a new contact. Tara. Nice.

I'm gonna call her today... or maybe wait a day so I don't seem desperate, or just in case she has a crazy hangover too? Okay I'll call her soon, I'm not sure when.
