"If you hate him so much, why are you still allowing him to be near you?"
"If Brandon were here, he would do the same, cause he treasures you, but you are too into yourself to notice that."
"Even the strongest feelings expire when ignored or taken for granted. So that's why, I'm sure he'll completely give you up someday, which is good for you too since you 'despise' him, don't you?"
"NO!" I shouted as I drowned in the bathtub. Then, I suddenly got up from the bathtub.
Hey guys, Kate Roberts here. I feel like an idiot! I was literally lost in thoughts while my body was slowly sinking in the bathtub.
I sat inside the bathtub again. I switched on the shower, and sprayed the warm water on my hair as I sat and looked at the soap bubbles formed on the surface of the water inside the bathtub.
"Even the strongest feelings expire when ignored or taken for granted."
I can't believe I'm still hearing his words inside my head. Is it...really true. Is it possible that someday he will give up on me and walk away if I keep treating him like this?
A life without Brandon Johnson....
"....Kate, I'm tired of following you around. A hotter chick asked me out so I'll be dating her. Thank god I'm not gay! Anyways, Bye!"
"WAHHH!!!!" I shouted as I got up from that dream again.
"*Huff* *Huff* Is this bath haunted? I'm so getting outta here." I said as I wiped my body dry, with a towel, and dressed up in my pajamas.
"Do you like Brandon?"
"...I…." I said as I looked at the floor and clenched my fist.
Ever since that idiot has come into my life, I'm a walking mess! I can't understand anything that's going on around me. Things work so fast that I'm not able to follow up. He's so bright, no wonder he's a prince.
Everyone believes he's perfect. I believed that too, until I started talking to him and I got to know him, slowly. I found so much about him.
He's not perfect, he has flaws too, like any other human. He's clumsy, and he passes kisses to random people, he is comfortable talking to anyone, but he never thinks before he talks. He sugar coats his words too, but, unlike my sister, he's not fake. He is hard to convince and he's stubborn, he gets jealous easily, and he's horny all the damn time!
You get angry easily, you always have girls chasing you, you're never serious, you're loud and annoying, but, that's what makes you 'you' and.... I like these flaws of yours.
I like the way you smile and I like how you act all innocent even when everyone knows you're a demon.
Brandon Johnson, I wish I had found you earlier, you ass!
Where the hell were you all my life??!!!
And now when you're finally here, some other guy comes and tells me that you'll get tired of me and leave me??
Don't f*ck with my feelings!!! The entire fandom is with me, you hear that?!!
Meanwhile in the guest room (Where Brandon and Kate will be sleeping)
"Kate...seems a little off. Did Louisa say something to him while they were out?" Brandon thought as he sat on the bed "I think....I overdid it while we had that bath…I should leave him alone for now. Maybe, he's not comfortable around me yet."
Brandon got up from the bed and took out a folding mattress and a blanket from the cupboard.
*Click*
The door opened and Kate came inside the room in Pajamas. He looked at Brandon, Brandon smiled and said "Hey Katty, I think I'll be sleeping on the mattress tonight...You can have the bed to yourself."
"....Why did you suddenly come up with this?" Kate said as he looked at Brandon.
"Un…Well.…'cause..." Brandon said as he scratched his head while looking at the ceiling.
'Cause I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. And I'm sure you will be uncomfortable if you sleep with me after what happened today.' Brandon thought.
"....'cause?" Kate said.
"'cause I don't like sleeping on a bed!" Brandon said.
"....Is that so?" Kate said.
'He's avoiding me now?' Kate thought.
"Then, you don't mind if I sleep with you on the mattress, right?" Kate said.
"NO! WHAT'S THE POINT THEN???!!" Brandon said.
"...Point?" Kate said.
'He's totally avoiding me...after all, you are a prince. I'm just like a toy to you. Someone you play with when you're interested and when you get bored of it, you just toss it away and get a new one' Kate thought as he looked at the floor.
"Un...Brandon" Kate said.
'Do you like brother Louise?' Kate said in his mind.
"What?" Brandon asked with a smile.
"No, never mind, good night." Kate said.
'I can't bring myself to ask that to him because, I'm scared of hearing what I don't want to hear' Kate thought.
"Alright, good night~" Brandon said and almost covered himself with the blanket when Kate came towards him, running at full speed, grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down on the mattress.
"K-Kate?" Brandon said with a confused look while Kate was sitting on top of him.
"I...I don't like you" Kate said, "Why do you still like me?"
Brandon smiled and gently pressed his palm on Kate's cheek "Kate, I don't care if you don't like me, cause I know I do."
"Why do you like me? I'm not even pretty like my sister, and I'm not good at anything. I'm a loser..." Kate said.
"Kate,...I'm not attracted to beauty, I'm attracted to kindness and honesty. You may act mean in front of everyone but that's because you don't want anyone to be near you. You know that you have a sharp tongue, and that you'll hurt others if they are near you, so you decided to be the bad guy and push people away from you rather than hurting them later, right?"
"I...you really break my walls." Kate said.
"But....I don't care how others look at you, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful person. That is what makes me different from the rest of the world, in your eyes." Brandon said.
"...If I were as popular and good looking as you, I would never fall for someone like me." Kate said as he got up and sat on the bed.
Brandon looked at him, then he slowly got up and held Kate's hand and looked at him with his crimson eyes "I really wish that you love yourself, at least half of how much I love you. And then you'll see, how gorgeous you are."
"What if...I say I like you, though only a little-" Kate said.
"....That" Brandon said with surprise. Then, he covered his mouth as he looked at the wall and sat back on the mattress "I...love you too"
Upon hearing this, Kate blushed and looked at the bed sheet while Brandon blushed and looked at the mattress.
"...Un, can I kiss you?" Brandon said as he looked at Kate.
"Un....I'm kind of....sleepy now....let's sleep." Kate said as he almost went under his blanket.
*lights off*
"Hey!!!! You ass I thought you'd sleep on the mattress today???? Why are you coming inside my blanket???!!!" Kate shouted as Brandon quietly made his way under the blanket.
"I thought Katty would be lonely without me, so I just decided to give him company." Brandon said.
"No thank you! Get out, you ass!!!! I prefer sleeping alone!!!" Kate said.
"Now now, no need to hold back." Brandon as patted Kate's head.
"I'm not holding back!!!!"
"Oh... so...you're the non veg type??" Brandon said.
"Hey, don't get ahead of yourself, we are not dating or anything!!!" Kate said.
"Eh? But why not? The feelings mutual, the bed is ready, and I'm ready for a f*ck." Brandon said.
"You are always ready for a f*ck, you animal!!!" Kate said. "Wait then what does that make me???"
Brandon started laughing at Kate's comment.
"What's so funny??" Kate said.
"You're so weird, please never change that." Brandon said as he looked into Kate eyes while they were lying on the same bed, under the same blanket.
'Ah...what's this.…it's so warm.' Kate thought as he closed his eyes 'Never would have I ever imagined that I could ever share the same bed with another guy…so happily.'
'Now I think I know why it never worked out with anyone.' Kate thought as he looked at Brandon's sleeping face 'It was meant to be you, from the very beginning.'
