Ace's POV
Lucas just asked me if pwede daw ba siyang matulog sa kama ko!
No!
First of all, I don't want to sleep with a guy beside me. Second, I don't want to sleep with a stranger. Lastly, I want to sleep in peace dahil pagod na ako!
Nakatingin lang ako kay Lucas with a confused face while he's just smiling at me. No, it won't work this time! I'm too tired to focus sa kanyang handsome face.
I was about to say no when Chester interrupted, "Kuya Lucas, pwede ka matulog sa kama ko na lang. Tatabi na lang ako kay Harry. Makulit matulog 'yan si Ace."
Good! Buti na lang Chester insisted, and not only that, tabi sila ni Harry matutulog. Isn't this hitting two birds with one stone? Haha! Not only na hindi ko makakatabi si Lucas matulog, but there's a possibility na may mangyari kina Harry and Chester since tabi sila and I want that! Hahaha!
"Oo, kuya Lucas, mahihirapan ka kung tatabi ka kay Ace. 'Wag ka na mahiya." Harry added.
Well, that sounds suspicious... I think Harry also wants to sleep with Chester on the same bed. I'm liking this scene, by the way. Haha!
"Sure ba kayong dalawa? Hindi naman nakakahiya?" Lucas asked.
Talagang sa dalawa pa siya nahiya pero sa akin, hindi siya nahiya na tumabi or to sleep with me. Who does he think he is? Well, by looking at his face, he's quite disappointed and I don't know why, but hindi ba dapat maging masaya siya since solo niya ang kama?
Hindi na rin ako uminom since I don't want to sleep yet and I think may papanoorin ako before I sleep. Haha! I'm just waiting for that moment and sana may mangyari kina Harry and Chester later. I'm so bad that I'm hoping na may maganap sa kanilang dalawa, but it's so fun!"
Since kanina pa sila umiinom, they've decided na to stop since inaantok na silang tatlo. Lucas went to the C.R. para maglinis ng katawan while naglinis naman sina Harry and Chester ng mga kalat nila. I went straight to my bed and pinapanood ko lang silang dalawa while they're cleaning.
They were smiling at each other and wala namang nakakatawa and isa pa, hindi din naman sila nag-uusap! Are they drunk or there's something going on na hindi ko alam?
"Ako na maglilinis, Harry. Humiga ka na sa kama mo. Pagod ka na." Chester said.
"Sure ka na okay lang?" Harry asked.
Why am I satisfied? Why am I liking this? Hahaha! Sobrang sus na nilang dalawa... lalong lalo na si Chester. Is he liking Harry now after the yaoi expo incident? Did I awaken his inner gayness instead of being a Fudanshi? Hahaha!
While naglilinis si Chester sa room, Lucas went out of the C.R. topless with his boxer brief.
"Okay lang naman sa inyo if naka boxer lang ako? Ganito kasi ako natutulog eh." Lucas asked while standing in front of the C.R.
Chester and Harry gave him a thumbs up, then Lucas looked at me and was waiting for my answer.
While I'm staring at him, sa buong katawan niya while he's standing and almost naked, well, I'd say na may nice body siya and sobrang puti niya talaga like he's glowing lalo na I can see his whole body since naka boxers lang siya. Also, the fact na napaka toned din ng upper part niya and matangkad siya since he's into basketball. Yes, I'll give that to him na he's good looking and I'd say... he's a Seme. Haha!
"Ace?" Lucas asked, "Okay lang ba? Kanina mo pa kasi ako tinititigan."
What the hell! Why am I exploring Lucas' body?
"Okay lang. I don't mind. You can sleep sa kung paanong paraan ka magiging comfortable." I said.
"Mas magiging comfortable ako if I can sleep beside you." Lucas said while giving me a serious face.
Napatingin kaming tatlo sa kanya like we're so confused.
"Joke lang!" he said then laughed.
Good na he's just kidding kasi ayaw ko talaga na may katabing lalaki sa kama!
Lucas went to Chester's Bed, the one that's near the door sa room namin. Then, pinatay na ni Chester ang lights and binuksan ang Himalayan lamp salt then went to Harry's bed that's beside mine.
I think hindi ako makakatulog sa gabing ito even though I'm so tired. Nag aabang kasi ako ng live action nilang dalawa, nina Harry and Chester. Hahaha!
Nakahiga lang ako while facing Harry's bed and tinatakpan ko ang face ko so that they won't notice na pinapanood ko silang dalawa.
So ganito ang position nila... Harry is on the right side of the bed, while Chester is on the left side. As of now, magkatalikuran sila and both are sleeping, but natutulog nga ba or tulog-tulugan? Haha!
After a while, Chester changed his sleeping postion. Humarap siya kay Harry even though nakatalikod pa rin sa kanya ito as of this time. Then, lumapit si Chester sa body ni Harry and ginawa niyang pillow! He's hugging Harry tightly and his right leg is above Harry's legs! I'm so into this! Haha!
Well, Harry didn't even moved an inch and hindi niya inalis ang pagkakayakap sa kanya ni Chester. Maybe he likes it or he's just tulog na tulog? But I can see that Harry is smiling faintly. Sinong natutulog ng nakangiti? Not me. Haha!
If gagawan ko nga silang dalawa ng kwento, it would be like... Harry has a secret crush on Chester, then Chester here is a straight turned gay for Harry and they lived happily ever after! Hahaha! But hindi malabong mangyari 'yun, I know. I can feel it.
Medyo bumabagsak na ang mga eyelids ko sa antok but I want to continue watching the both of them! I don't want to sleep yet, though wala pa naman silang ginagawa talaga.
But, hindi na napigilan ng mga mata ko and napapikit na ako... but then, I heard a sound. A very familiar sound! Like a kiss! A smack! I opened my eyes widely but then they're still on the same sleeping position. I know may narinig ako na parang may nag kiss eh, but I guess I was just dreaming?
I stayed up all night watching them instead kaso walang nangyari. They were so peaceful why sleeping na para bang they had the best and most comfortable sleeping position habang they were beside each other, but they look good. I guess it satisfied my straight fudanshi heart. Haha.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alarm ringing!
And ayon na nga! Hindi na talaga ako nakatulog kakapanood sa hugging session ni Chester and Harry. It feels like pinanood ko lang sila buong gabi for nothing, though they looked so sweet last night.
Now, magkatalikuran ulit sila sa kanilang sleeping positions. Since hindi ako nakatulog for the whole night, and dahil wala naman akong pasok, I think I'll sleep the whole day instead.
But then again, hindi pa rin ako makatulog since sobrang maliwanag sa room namin pag umaga and even wearing an eye mask won't help it. I guess wala na akong choice but to stay awake?
Tumayo na lang ako sa kama and prepared four cups of coffee for Harry, Chester, Lucas and for me. Naamoy ata ni Lucas ang coffee kaya nagising siya and stood beside me.
"''Wag mo na ako gawan ng coffee, Ace. I don't drink coffee." Lucas said.
I looked at him while he's smiling at me so brightly and warmly. Pag ganito ba naman ang bubungad sa umaga mo kahit wala kang tulog, I guess it's fine since nakakarelax siyang tingnan habang nakangiti.
"Why? Allergic ka ba?" I asked.
"Nope. Hindi lang ako sanay. But since nag effort ka and you've made this coffee, I'll drink this one." He said and smiled at me again and what the heck! The background is turning pink again and I'm hearing a very light and smooth melodic sound! Not again! Why does this keep on happening!
I closed my eyes and focus on sa pagprepare ng coffee and good thing na nawala na ang pink background and smooth melodic sound as soon as I opened my eyes!
"Oo nga pala, Ace. Dala ko 'yung mga manga na pwede kong itrade sa'yo."
"Nice! Tara, you can pick what you want sa cabinet ko." I said then pumunta kami sa cabinet where I keep my yaoi manga.
However, there's something strange about the position ng mga yaoi manga ko pagkabukas ko ng cabinet. Alam ko ang ayos nito since nakasort out 'to alphabetically, but there's two yaoi manga na magkabaliktad ng position. Hmmm. Something's fishy... Hahaha! But anyways, I'll let it slide for now.
He gave me 3 yaoi manga to read pero isa lang ang kinuha niya mula sa akin.
"Why only one? Nabasa mo na ba 'yung iba?" I asked.
"Nope, hindi pa. But gusto ko isa lang muna for now. Pwede naman ako bumalik dito after ko mabasa 'to, right?" He asked while showing me the "Papa to kiss in the Dark" manga.
I guess it's fine for me since he's nice but somewhat weird, and may mga yaoi manga siya na mahihiraman ko. After a while, nagising na rin sina Chester and Harry and ininom na rin ang coffee na ginawa ko.
"Sarap tulog niyong dalawa ah?" I jokingly asked.
"Paanong masarap eh hindi nga ako makagalaw! Ginawa akong unan ni Chester!" Harry said.
So... he's awake? Alam niya na niyayakap siya ni Chester, and I saw na he was smiling last night. So does it mean na... well I guess malalaman ko rin sa susunod. Haha!
"Sorry na! Hindi ko sinasadya!" Chester said then uminom siya ng coffee afterwards.
"Saan niyo gusto mag breakfast?" Harry asked.
"Kahit saan." then I asked Lucas, "You want to go with us?"
"I can't, even though na gusto ko. I have classes, but if pinilit mo ko then I guess sasama ako and mag cut na lang ako." He said and smiled like I'm more important kaysa sa studies niya.
I looked at Harry and Chester and their eyes were widely open like they knew what was going on and biglang naubo si Chester while drinking his coffee.
"Baliw ka talaga, Lucas! Pumasok ka nga!" I said.
"Okay po, master." Lucas said and smiled again.
What the! Ikaw din? Bakit ba tinatawag nila akong master! Even si Harry, napaubo na rin while he's drinking his coffee!
"Bakit kapag kay Ace, okay lang na Lucas ang tawag niya sa'yo, tapos pag sa amin, kailangan may kuya pa and kailangan with respect! Tapos master pa ang tawag mo sa kanya!" Chester asked.
"Why? First, hindi naman siya part ng basketball team natin so hindi siya affected ng rules natin. Second, I just..." Lucas paused for a while then changed the topic, "Akala ko ba mag breakfast kayo?"
"Yes. Inuubos lang namin 'tong coffee." Harry said.
"Okay! Aakyat na ulit ako sa room namin. Magpeprepare na ako and maliligo na rin. Thank you pala sa pinahiram mo sa akin, Ace. See you later sa practice, Chester and Harry. Bawal ma-late kung ayaw niyo ng punishment!" Lucas said then went of our room.
Nasa isip ko, ang sabi niya kagabi kaya hindi siya makatulog sa kanila because ginagawa ang C.R. nila. So paano siya maliligo? Hmmm...
"Ano 'yung pinahiram mo sa kanya, Ace?" Chester asked.
"Ah... yaoi manga." I said.
"Teka! Nagbabasa si kuya Lucas noon?" gulat na tinanong ni Chester.
"You don't know?" I asked.
"Nope. Hindi namin alam na he's also into that kind of stuff. Sa'yo lang namin nalaman. Now we know. Haha!" Harry said then smirked.
"Hindi kaya may gusto sa'yo si Kuya Lucas?" Chester asked while his eyes are squinting and sinisiko niya ako.
"Paano mo naman nasabi?" I asked.
"Master? Ikaw lang tinatawag niyang master! He has this pride and sayo lang siya nagpapakumbaba! Isn't that enough?" Harry said.
"Well, hindi ko siya kilala so I woudn't know. Isa pa, kung gusto niya ako, good luck na lang sa kanya since mapapagod lang siya and hindi ako interesado." I said.
"Harry, pwede na tayo ma-late ng hindi tayo mapaparusahan." Chester said and gave me an evil smile.
Harry then looked at me and gave me a grinning smile.
"Ano na naman 'yang iniisip niyong dalawa, ha?" I exclaimed.
"Kapag na late kami mamaya, tatawagan ka namin ah? Kapag nandoon ka, feeling ko, hindi kami papagalitan ni kuya Lucas." Chester said.
"And ano naman ang kinalaman ko doon?" I asked.
"Isang sabi mo lang sa kanya, kunwari, sasabihin mo na 'wag kami bigyan ng punishment, hindi niya kami bibigyan. Kasi..." Chester said.
Chester and Harry looked at each other first, then both looked at me with their eyes squinting, "Master ka niya!" they said.
"Baliw kayo! 'Wag na lang kayo magpa-late at 'wag niyo na ako idamay sa kalokohan niyo! Isa pa, mamaya mabigyan ko pa siya ng false hope and I don't want that to happen." I said.
"So inaassume mo na may gusto nga sa'yo si Kuya Lucas?" Harry asked.
"No! Well... maybe? Sort of! Hindi ko alam and ayaw kong mag-isip! Kumain na nga tayo!" I shouted.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Pagkatapos namin kumain ng breakfast, I decided to go to the manga library slash bookstore para maghanap ng BL novel na pwedeng basahin. So while I'm searching sa shelf, I saw this book called "March 2020/1" and its author is "Gonzo". I believe ito ang pen name ni Jeffrey since nasabi niya sa akin ito one time. Sa totoo lang, di ko pa nababasa ang mga works niya so I decided to buy this para malaman ko kung paano si Jeffrey as a writer.
While I'm trying to remove the book out of the shelf, it slipped through my hands and nalaglag siya sa sahig. I was about to get the book when suddenly, may nag abot nito sa akin.
"I believe this is yours?" the guy said with a very husky and deep voice and while I'm staring at his face, he looks like someone from a band dahil sa mga ear piercings and tattoo. Plus, he has this very thick eyebrows, and has this hypnotizing eyes na mapapatingin ka since it's light brown and you can see the pupils sa mga mata niya. He's also good looking by the way and if I'm guessing how old he is... he's around 18 to 20 I think? Nakauniform siya sa same school na pinapasukan ko, so I guess student pa siya? He looks like another Seme for me. Haha! But medyo familiar siya sa akin pero hindi ko alam kung saan ko siya nakita.
Kinuha niya ang book na nahulog sa floor and binasa niya ang cover, "Hmm, March 2020/1?" then he looked around to see kung nasaang section siya, afterwards, he looked at me and smiled, "I think this is a BL book? Am I right?" he asked with a very light smile on his face and I thought na aasarin niya ako.
"Yes, BL book nga 'to. Why? You have a problem with that?" I asked, but hindi naman ako nangaaway. Haha!
He nodded and inabot niya sa akin ang book. I was about to grab the book from his hands when suddenly, niyakap niya ang book and said, "I think it will be very interesting kung magbabasa ako ng BL story. I haven't read one yet and I think lots of girls love this kind of genre. Pero this is the first time na nakakita ako ng guy na reading this kind of stuff. Does it mean na you're..."
"Don't... say it. Ako na ang magpapaliwanag." I sighed and said, "No, I'm not gay, and I'm not into guys."
"Ah! So isa kang... what's the word? 'Yung male na Fujoshi?"
"Fudanshi. For the record, a straight fudanshi." I said.
"Okay, so this is interesting. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng isang quote and quote straight guy na nagbabasa ng BL stuff." he said and laughed.
Is this guy mocking me? I think mapapaaway ata ako ah? Abangan ko ba to sa labas? Hindi porket mas malaki ang katawan niya sa akin eh 'di ko na siya papatulan. Kapag ganitong wala pa akong tulog!
"I'll buy this and I'll buy one for you as well. Gusto ko din maging Fudanshi like you. A 'straight fudanshi' as well, just like you." he said and kinuha niya ang isa pang March 2020/1 book from the shelf.
I glared at him and this guy is really... I don't know what's the best word para sa kanya, pero he's so aggressive!
"Come! Let's go, ilalayo na kita dito." he said and grabbed my left hand.
Dahil sa tindi ng pagkakakapit niya, hindi ko maalis ang kamay ko sa kanya and we walked so fast! Sandali! Anong nangyayari? Sobrang bilis I don't even know the name of this guy and yet kinukulit niya na ako agad!
