"W.. what are you d.. doing all of sudden?" kairo asked him awkwardly and philip hugged him tightly as he won't get off from kairo.
"Give me some comfort, I kept reading those books but those words can't enter my mind." Philip replied and he cried cheesy.
Kairo laughs at him as he holds Philip's both arms to pull back and face him,"Oh, you're going insane now?" He asked teasingly at him.
"Yeah, give me your comfort."Philip replied as he raised his hand to hug kairo again.
"Just like a baby. You said you are going to confess at Mara, then why are you behaving like this?" He teased Philip again.
"Shut up... someone might hear you."Philip replied, "come inside. Just close the door first."He added.
Kairo went inside and he closed the door, looking around as he moved uncomfortably.
"So? What brings you here?" Philip asked and he sat down on his bed.
"Oh, nothing. Just checking all my fellow students here if they were all ok."He replied.
"Sit down here," and he grabbed the stool chair for kairo to sit him down, "Make yourself home. Don't feel strange. " He stood up, went for a walk to his fridge to get some drinks, "Here, drink this first." And he handed the drink to kairo.
"Thank you." Kairo took it and he took a sip, "Oh, by the way, when are you going to confess to her?" asking philip.
"Oh, tomorrow. Her room is across from mine. I'll tell you something that my plan will be successful."
Kairo was looking around his room until he looked at the desk, "You studied all of this? I know how to solve this kind of formula." kairo said as he looked at the maths book.
Philip rushed into him as he accidentally dropped the bottle on the ground after he heard what kairo said, "Really? You know how to solve it? Please teach me. Please, just one time, I really couldn't solve it. I don't know how."Philip replied as he looked down.
"Ok, then. I'll teach you.``Kairo said and he grabbed a pen. Philip hurrying took other chair to sit beside him, "to see the value of x, First you need to find the greatest common factor of this given. Multiply it until you find the final product."He replied, "Just like this."He added as he showed Philip how to solve it.
"Can you please do it slowly? So that i can catch up immediately."Philip replied as he laugh.
"Ok, then. I'll be slow, ``he replied. He taught Philip to those formulas and they just heard their giggles outside of the room.
A few hours after their teaching lesson, Philip got hungry, he was about to walk there but unluckily he split on the bottle that he accidentally dropped earlier.
"Where are you goi...
Kairo was surprised and he held Philip's hand to pull him. He unexpectedly sat down on Kairo's lap as they got both startled.
"Are you ok?"kairo asked him.
Philip nodded awkwardly as he stood up immediately.
"Y... yeah, I'm o.. ok."He replied awkwardly as he walked quickly to the fridge.
Kairo didn't mind it and he took the bottle from the floor, "Silly bottle."He said, he went back to solving those formulas to teach Philip again.
A few minutes after he prepared some snacks, he goes back to sit down beside kairo, holding the two cups of noodles and he out down slowly on the desk, "Here, are you hungry?"philPhilip asked him as he gave it to him.
"If I mind that, I'll just take it. Thank you."kairo replied, "Here, I've just solved it and now I can teach you how to."He added as he looked at the paper.
"How?"Philip asks and he slurps his noodles, "How did you make it?" He asked again. "No wonder, you're one of the top students overall."He added.
Kairo smiles at him as he slurps his noodles, "Ow, it's hot. Why haven't you told me it's hot?"He aksed.
"Because you didn't ask me first."philip replied, sarcasm.
"Are you insane?"kairo said as he felt hot on his tongue.
He put his cup noodles on the table and he held Kairo's cheeks and he blew it inside to release the hotness inside kairo's mouth. "It's ok now?" He asked.
Kairo got suddenly startled and he was stunned about what Philip did, "Oh, y.. yeah. It's o.. ok now."He replied awkwardly, "Let's go back from teaching,"He added.
After the past few hours, Kairo was still teaching him without knowing that Philip was tipsy as he got sleepy.
"It's your turn to try this. You should find the value of x."kairo said but someone hasn't answered him. "Are you listening to me why you haven't an...
Suddenly Philip's head leaned on his shoulder and he got startled, He look at Philip and said that he's already fallen asleep. Kairo sighed deeply as he held Philip's head, He put down the pen on the table and he slowly carried Philip on the bed with his two bare hands, "Jeez, such an annoying person that I've met." as he slowly put him down, "Sleep tightly, I'll go now." When he was about to let go philip's hand, suddenly Philip pulled back his hand and saying, "Can you stay here a little longer, mara?"
Kairo got confused and he took his hand, "hey, dude. I'm not Mara, you jackass."
Philip holds his hand tightly again, "Don't go, please be with me."Philip said again as he immediately pulled Kairo down, He hugs Kairo's hand that he taught it's Mara's soft hand, "Stay with me." he said while he's sleeping.
Kairo stares at him and he feels something strange on himself as he can't figure it out. He laid down beside Philip as he easily fell asleep next to him. Philip was still holding his hands tightly and he's moving closer to him.
When Philip woke up, he looked at the clock and he heard someone snoring besides him. He slowly looked at it and he startled after he saw his arm hugging Kairo's shoulder.
"Shit!"He shouted so loud.
Kairo suddenly woke up and he looked at Philip's eyes. "What?"He asks him with those sleepy eyes.
"What are you doing here?"Philip asked him confusedly and he got up, holding his pillow.
"Oh, that thing?"He said as he yawned. He gets up while scrubbing his eyes. "You pulled me earlier and won't let go of my hand. That's why I'm here, beside you."kairo replied.
'`Then why haven't you gone away?"Philip asks again, "What did you do to me?"He asked.
"Calm down. I haven't done to you, you thought I'm Mara so you hold my hand so tightly as he you pull. I landed into the bed and you hugged me. I'm about to stand up but you really hold my hand so tight. I fell asleep here because I felt sleepy and dizzy."kairo replied again.
"Really? I.. did I do that? I'm sorry. I think i'm just dreaming of her."He said awkwardly.
"It's ok. I'm going home now.``Kairo replied and he stood up.
"Wait."Philip stopped him.
"What? Why? There's something you need?"kairo asked him.
"Oh, t.. that thing, i.. Am really sorry."He replied awkwardly.
"It's nothing. I'll get going now." and he walks to the door and he goes outside.
"What's wrong with me? Why does my heart keep fluttering whenever he look at me like that?"he asked himself, "Oh, stop thinking of it. You're a boy. He's a boy, you heard yourself?" He slapped his cheek to wake up.
Suddenly Kairo opened the door again and he was startled. "Philip,"
"Oh, y.. yeah? There's something wrong? W.. why did you came back?"He asked kairo awkwardly.
"Oh, I forgot my paper list and my wallet."He replied and he walk closer to the table that he put it on earlier.
"Yeah, go back s.. safely.''Philip replied awkwardly as he smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, by the way. What's wrong with you voice?``Kairo asked him.
"N.. nothing, just came here tomorrow.. help me with my confession."Philip replied.
"Ok, good luck tomorrow."He said as he went outside.
Philip closed the door and he sighed deeply, "What's wrong with me? Pull yourself up." saying to himself as he slapped his cheeks multiple times.
He sat on his chair and he saw those formulas that were solved by kairo earlier. "Woah, he really did this well?"He asked. He turned all the pages and he got shocked, "He really gave some examples too so that I get it clearly?"He added.
When Sam already stopped playing the guitar, he laid it on the table as he stood up, "Larry? Where are you?" while walking and looking for him. "Where are you?"He asked again.
He saw Larry in the backyard, fixing some broken materials.
"What's up?" sam said as he walk closer to him, Larry turned over and he saw sam.
"Oh, I'm just putting some soil on this vase. I'll plant some flowers with this."He replied. Sam holds his shoulder as he stares at those.
"Finished studying?"Sam asked again.
"Yeah, how about you? Finished practising it?"
"Oh, yeah.. I'm going to play it on another day. I felt bored." and he giggled.
"Jeez." he stood up as he stared at Sam while taking off his gloves. He touched Sam's hair and he smiled.
"I'm tired. Give me some energy."Sam said.
Larry sighed deeply and he carried him.
"Why are you carrying me? Let me go down." but larry won't let him, "Are you listening to me? Put me down now. I'm so heavy.''He added as he held Larry's both cheeks.
"I wont. You're not heavy at all. When you're with me, I don't feel some heavy and difficult thing bugging me."He replied.
Sam kissed his forehead with a smile on his lips, "You like me that so much?"He asked.
"Yeah, I love you so much."Larry replied, "should i yell or shout over the world?"
"Then what if I die?" sam asked, teasingly.
"Are you insane? Why are you going to die?"Larry replied, "Stop talking nonsense again. I'll throw you up, ``he added.
"Just kidding, put me down now."Sam said, Larry walked inside while carrying him, "Where are you going to take me again?"Sam asked.
"Let's dig something unique."
Larry replied and as they went upstairs, they entered his auntie Megan's dark room.
"Woah, what is this?" Sam asked and he suddenly got a cough from the dust. "Ow, so much dust,"he added.
While they are looking around, Sam notices something weird on the corner. He stepped closer and he took a look at it.
"What is this?"Sam asked, pulling out the big picture frame behind those painting stand stools, "Woah, is this? Oh? Why is my father here?"He asked.
Larry got confused after he heard it. He walked to him as he took a look at it. "What? Your father?"he asked to confirm it.
"Yeah, it's my father.. definitely my father, and this.. this suit, I saw his solo pic in my mom's room. Same with this suit."
"Are you sure? People can get the same suit." Larry replied.
"No, I'm sure. It's my father. Hey, I'm his son, surely I can get to know him, I'm just seven years old when my dad passed away so that I can recognize him."He added.
"Really? Then if this is your dad. This is my dad besides him. This young girl is my mom next to my dad and this...
"Oh, this other guy next to my dad was so familiar to me. I'm sure I've seen him before."Sam said, cutting larry's word.
"I don't know him. I just forgot his name, but my mom said they were in a gang during their school days. My mom said this guy next to your dad is the elder among them."Larry replied. Sam got confused and he kept staring at the picture, "I'll take some look, I've never looked here when I move."Larry said.
Sam's mind was bugging something, he can't figure it out but he knows something is going on. He took a look clearly on the picture until he saw the red bracelet on the guy's wrist.
"Oh, why does he have that? My father has that before he dies and he wears it while he is buried, They have the same style."Sam said to himself as he thought deeply and got confused. He flipped it over and he saw letters on the back, "Oh, there's a sentence on it."He said and Larry heard it.
"What? There is? What does it says?"Larry asked.
HIGH-SCHOOL AND SENIOR GRADUATION YEAR 1975-1976.
("We've been together since the first day of our high school days. We will going to separate next month because we will going to have flew on other university to get our each course, I hope we will never forget each other after. We will see each other again after we graduated in college and reunite on our favourite spot place before.")
"They are best friends. They have been together since high school until they are seniors."Larry said.
"Oh, yeah. They really are. Woah, what's your mom's name?"Sam asked him.
"Lara, my mom's name. Miguel, my dad's name."He replied, "So? What's your dad's name?"He asked sam.
"It's Kenneth, my father's name."Sam replied, "Then who is this? He's Just familiar but I don't know his name."He added.
"My mom told me before the name of him but I suddenly forgot it."Larry replied.
"I want to know it."Sam said to himself as he looked at the picture.
"Let's go outside, there's nothing we can see here,"Larry said.
"You can go outside first. I want to look around here."He replied as he kept rounding.
"Uhmm, i'm going to stay here. I want to look around too."He said as he smiled fakely.
"Here, a dream catcher but so much dust," Sam showed it and he coughed.
"Put that down, it's so dusty."Larry replied and he took it immediately from his hand, "Let's go downstairs. I'm hungry."
"Ok, then. Let's go, I'm hungry too."Sam replied as they giggled, walking outside.
Where they are both eating on the table. Sam asks him again, "Larry? You felt strange too?"
Larry got confused as he eating his food, "what strange feeling is that, I don't know.. I just got confused but don't mind it, they are really best friend."Larry replied, "Go on, eat your food now.. after we finish it, let's go outside of the street."He added.
"No, I won't. I don't want to walk outside again, it might happen to us again."Sam replied.
"Ok, then. It's up to you. Let's just do something else."he said.
"Something else? Like what?'' Sam asked confusedly.
Larry grinned at him as he glanced.
"Pervert, Just eat." Sam replied shyly.
"What? What are you thinking? I don't say anything yet."Larry said as he continued eating.
"I know what you want, don't you ever touch me,"Sam replied.
Unexpectedly in the middle of their lunch, someone was calling outside, "Is anybody here?"the guy yelled outside.
They got confused, they hurriedly walked there to check what's going on.
'`May I know, who are you?"Larry asked the guy.
"Oh, you're mr. larry? There's a letter that will be given to you from Mrs. Lara." the guy replied as he handed it to him.
"Oh, yeah. Thank you very much. Have a good day."He said and the delivery of letters walked away.
"Let's go inside now."Sam said, Larry held his waist and they went inside, holding his mom's letters, "I envy you, my mom didn't give some letters."He added.
Larry laughs and he kisses Sam's lips, "It's ok. Maybe your mom doesn't like to disturb you."He replied.
"Did you smoke again? You stink."
"Yeah, but just one stick, i'm sorry."Larry replied as he smiled awkwardly.
"Stop smoking or else I'll leave you."Sam warned him.
"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, I won't do it again."Larry replied and he giggled softly.
Sam and larry were sitting on the soft couch at the balcony, "It's so nice here upstairs."
"Oh, yeah. Really, I use this as my relief spot, I smoke here sometimes, I drink here and feel the wind but I like the veranda the most."Larry replied.
"Love, Can you just stop smoking and drinking alcohol? Those will ruin your health."Sam said to him as he got worried.
Larry got startled after he heard that coming from Sam's mouth, "What did you say, just by now?"He asked sam and he smiled widely while having happy eyes.
"I said, Don't smoke and drink alcohol that could ruin your health."Sam replied.
"No, not that one. Can you say it again?''Larry asked.
"The what? I haven't said anything."He replied and he smiled.
"Say it again. I clearly heard it. Please say it again. Just one more time."Larry said. Sam glances at him as he smiles like a gangster.
"Why would I say that again?"Sam asked him.
"Please, say it again. I won't do anything, I'll stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Please say it again."Larry begged.
"Babe?" sam said it again and he smile shyly.
Larry smiles and he immediately forces Sam to lay down.
"Oh, what are you going to do?" he asks and he laugh.
He kiss Sam's lips, "Really? You call me that?" seeing the excitement over larry's face.
"Why? What's wrong with that?" Sam asked confusedly.
He kept kissing Sam's lips and sam tired to pulled him, "Hey, hey! Stop. Enough!" he yelled. Larry kissed his forehead and he felt delighted.
"I felt better."Sam said as he smiled. Larry hugged him and he laid beside sam.
"Feel those winds. So refreshing right?"
"Yeah, so much. It's better to be with you."sam replied, "Thank you for being with me." He smiled and he looked at Larry's beautiful eyes.
"I love you."Larry whispered to him.
"What did you say? I didn't hear it."Sam asked him as he pretended.
"I said I love you." He said again with a sweet smile on his lips.
"What? Can you say it again? I really can't clearly hear it."Sam teased him.
"Are you deaf or something? Are you making me insane? Just tell it, Let me punch you just once."Larry replied.
"No, I'm just kidding." and he laughed, "I love you too."He replied to Larry.
Larry kisses him passionately as they feel the cold breeze at the balcony.
