Chapter 44 - 44

Larry had finished taking a bath and he saw sam reading the book on the bed He laid down on Sam's lap as he sighs.

"Hey, what's wrong? Your hair is still wet."

"Dry it for me." He replied and he got up.

Sam grabs those towels inside his drawer and Larry sat properly in front of him, "Come here." He rubs while drying it.

"Should I tell it to my-

"Should what?" Sam asks as he keeps drying Larry's hair.

"Oh, nothing. I want to ask you if you're going to stop by the market to buy some presents for my mom." He said.

"Oh, thank you for reminding me of that. Yeah, I'm going to buy some presents for her." Sam replied.

After he wipe Larry's wet hair, he held Larry's both cheeks and he squished it, "are you not sleepy?" He asks.

"Oh, yeah. I'm not yet, i'm not sleepy." Larry replied.

He looks into larry's eyes as he is still holding his cheeks, slowly forwarding his face to kiss him, "We should sleep now." He asks.

"No, I need some more." Larry replied and Sam was holding back his smile and he calmed himself down, "no, you can't. One is enough." and he laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Larry asks,"You're blushing." He added while pointing at sam's cheeks.

"No, I'm not… You should sleep now. I can see your eyes, you're sleepy." He added.

"Yeah, I'm sleepy but it's just 8:00pm and it's not late yet." Larry said.

"Yeah, it's 8:00 pm and it's late for me, "

We should go to sleep now. I'm sleepy too."

They laid down together on bed while cuddling, "Fine, let's sleep. Wake me up if you woke up tomorrow." Larry replied.

"Yep, just close your eyes now. You're getting sleepy." He said as he giggled softly.

"I can't sleep if you will going to stare me like that, you-

He kisses Larry's lips again to shut off, "Enough now. I'm sleepy." He replied, Larry kept holding his smile until he got shy.

Sam was pretending that he was sleeping, when he knew that Larry was already sleeping deeply, he took Larry's hand from him and he got up, He went to the bathroom to take his medicine and he looked in the mirror as he took a deep breath. "I can fight this problem." saying to himself.

Suddenly his head itches that it made him scratch it when he looks at his palm, so much hair loses from his scalp.

"Oh, what's going on ?.. Oh, I screwed up." He slapped his own cheeks and he suddenly cried silently, sitting on the floor as he couldn't believe what was going on himself, "I don't know anymore."

He went back beside Larry and he was sitting on his bed, watching Larry's sleeping as he pats larry's head as his tears crawl down to his cheeks, "Let's have fun tomorrow. " He said, he laid down beside him, hugging Larry to feel better.

Kairo and Philip were seated on their chairs at the long table, facing each other in the distance.

"Well, eat now." he said to philip while gesturing to dig some food to help himself.

The maid served him, pouring some wine in his glass.

"So much foods here, auntie you all should join us." He whispered to the maid in front of him.

"We can't." She replied and he stepped back.

"Um, s.. senior. I think-

"You don't like those dishes?" Kairo asked him, cutting his word.

Philip got awkward and he looked around, "not that, but I can't eat because I'm not comfortable. How can I eat to this long table?" He replied.

Those maids got confused and they were all smiling secretly.

"W.. what did you mean?" Kairo asks him.

He stood up and he walked towards kairo, "How can I eat like this if this table is so long, I can't even reach those dishes." He said.

Kairo wants to laugh but he holds it back, "this house.. while we eat dinner, we're just sitting here calmly. We will just summon our maids to get those dishes we want." He replied.

"What? Really?" Philip asks.

Those maids smile secretly again at Philip, the young maid clears her throat and she speaks with Philip, "Sir, you need to go back to your chair." As she guided him.

He returned to his chair and they served Philip.

"How can you eat like this?"He signed at Kairo far away.

He suddenly stood up and he looked at the maid, "Auntie? Do you have a picnic curtain here?" He asks.

"But, sir.. young master, haven't order us t-

As she looked at him, kairo just nodded to give Philip what he wanted. "It's ok, can you get some picnic curtains?" He ordered.

They immediately went upstairs to take the picnic curtains.

"Have you lost your mind? People couldn't eat with this kind of sit up. We're just the two of us, the table is so long." He scolded kairo.

"We eat here like this even if I'm with my mom only or my dad." Kairo replied.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you two in the middle of your conversation, Young master, the picnic curtains that you've ordered are here." young maid said to him.

Philip took it from her slowly and he held it. "I'll say thanks instead of him." He replied to the maid.

"You can go now." Kairo ordered her, The maid step back to walk away.

"Do you have a garden?" Philip ask him.

"Yup, why?" He asks.

"Here, hold it." and he suddenly put it on Kairo's hand, "Auntie? Can I ask something? Can I take some baskets?" He asked the other maid.

The maid looked at their young master and kairo he nodded at her, "It's an order." He said annoyingly.

"Yes, young master. I'll get it." She replied and she quickly walked faster to get some baskets in the kitchen, when she came back, philip grabbed it immediately from her, "Thank you." he said and he hold Kairo's arm and they walked besides the table.

"Here, hold it."He gave the basket to him and he put some food inside while kairo is struggling, one maid went closer to him and she wanted to help their young master but kairo gestured that he refused it.

"It's ok, you can go back to your position." He said, the maid stepped back as they got confused.

"Here, this too. You should be careful on that, might will fall into the floor." He warned kairo.

After Philip finished what he done, he held Kairo's hand and he ask, "Where's the garden?"

"There." Kairo replied as he pointed above. They immediately ran into there as Kairo was still struggling with how he handled all the things philip gave to him.

When they get on the rooftop garden, while they are sitting on the picnic curtain feeling the cold wind while watching the nice view of the full bright moon that faces them, "Woah, so cold here. I like it." Philip said, "we can eat comfortably." He added and he smiled.

"Yeah, it's better here." Kairo replied, he took some food as he took a bite on it, "delicious as always."

"I told you, it's better to eat without that fancy thing. You can eat freedom. There's no maids or serving you, there's no people controlling your actions and there's no people bugging you."

"Here, take a bite on it." Kairo handed him the chicken leg.

When Philip is about to take it, he holds it back to him and he bite it. "So delicious."

"Are you crazy?" Philip asks.

"Take your own." He said.

Philip wants to smack him but he holds it back, "Gosh! You're too mean!" He cursed. "You, Dick head."

"Just eat, you're just hungry. stop cursing me or else I'll throw you down there." Kairo threatens him, jokily.

"If you can." Philip challenged him.

"Ok, then." He said as he stood up, Philip got confused why Kairo went closer as he bent down. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" He asks.

Suddenly kairo lifts him with his bare arms and they walk closer to the terrace.

"Hey, it's just a joke. Don't make it real, it's not funny at all." Philip yelled.

Kairo was tricking him but he was still carrying him as Philip got scared while looking into Kairo's eyes, "you said, if I can?"

"No, that's a joke. Why would you take it so seriously, huh? Are you heartless? Put me down." Philip said annoyingly.

"Um, beg me nicely. Then I'll put you down." Kairo ordered him to.

"Hell, no. I won't." He replied madly.

"So..

He was about to let Philip go from above but suddenly Philip begged, "please, put me down. Senior." He replied nicely.

Kairo smiles secretly and he puts down the angry kitten, "It's late now, you can go back to your dorm." He said as stepping forward to sniff the cold wind.

Philip got a bad idea, he smirked like a crazy person behind kairo.

"Why you haven't r-

When he turned around to talk with Philip he saw nothing, philip was hiding down there while switching his position behind Kairo.

"Oh, hey, where are you?" He yelled.

"I'm here." Suddenly Philip replied, unexpectedly when kairo turned around he bumped his hand on Philip's stomach so Philip almost fell on the ground down there, luckily kairo held his hand and he pulled it back, they landed on the rooftop floor as kairo bumped his head.

"Ouch..

"Oh, are you ok?" Philip asks him panicky.

"Agh, i'm ok." He replied as he got up slowly. "How about you? Are you ok?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, I play that thing."

"You almost died because of your trick. Don't do that again, you might fall down there." He warned.

"I'm sorry, senior." Philip replied.

He tries to get up but he can't, he has a wound on his upper elbow, and Philip holds his hand to help him stand up. "Let me help you, senior." He said.

They walk downstairs, heading to his room. When they gets in, he immediately call for some help outside. He whispered to the maid and she was startled.

"What did you do to our young master?" She asks, worrying.

"Lower your voice, Kairo's mom is gonna hear us." He said.

"Madame is not here. She went far away for an appointment, i'm going to take some medicine, let's cure it as soon as possible. Might Madame will see it and we are all dead meat. Go back to him upstairs. " She replied.

He immediately runs into kairo's room and he gets inside when that old maid said to help him.

"Where have you been?"kairo asks him.

"I call for some help." He replied, The maid went upstairs, carrying the medicine kit as she knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Kairo asks.

"It's me, young master."

Philip went in front of the door as he opened it, "have you brought it?" He asks.

"Yes, here it is. Please take care of our young master." She replied, walking away from him and he closed the door and he sat beside kairo. "Here, give me your hand." He said.

"Are you sure that, you can-

He got muted when Philip held his hand.

"You should better shut off, I'll clean your wound. Just stay still." He said.

Kairo nodded at him as he let Philip do it for him.

While he's gently cleaning Kairo's wound, they both hear the loud talk outside, "have you heard it?" Kairo asks him.

"What? Oh, it's so loud outside and I'm confused." He and he kept cleaning his wound.

Someone knocked the door and they both were surprised, "oh, it startled me."

"Who is it?" Kairo asks from inside.

"Young master, there's a young boy who entered the house without permission and he's not familiar, he kept making some noise. "She replied, They immediately went out to check it.

The arguments were still loud and while kairo and Philip were walking downstairs he asked them immediately, "What's going on here?"

Those people who make loud noises and the young boy who makes some noise look back at him, "kairo." He greeted.

"Noa, why are you here?" He asks.

Noa ran into him and immediately hug him, "I miss you very much."He replied.

"Oh, who is this?" noa asks, pointed at philip.

"Oh, right. he's my junior, we do s.. study here." Kairo replied awkwardly.

"Oh, ok." He said as he looked Philip up and down while Philip was smiling awkwardly at him.

"good evening to you." He said to Noa.

"Same to you." Noa replied and he smiled fakely.

"Young master, did you know this young boy?" The guard asks him.

"yeah, he's my-

"Of course, he is. I'm his boyfriend. How could he not recognize me?" Noa replied to the guard jokily as he cut kairos's word.

"Boyfriend?" Philip asks Himself.

"He's just kidding, guard. He's my cousin. He's a naughty boy, he didn't go here because he grew up in Spain." He said to them so that those people who serve him can get it clearly.

"It's a relief, it's just a cousin." Philip said to himself again, "I thought it's true, but why am I talking to myself about that? Huh? Am I crazy?" saying to himself again, "Senior, can I go home now? It's very late." He said suddenly and they all looked at Philip.

Kairo clears his throats and he order his maids, "Can you take noa to the guest room?"

"Sure, young master." They replied, Five maids accompany noa to the guest room so that he can change some evening clothes.

"You're going to go back now? These hours? It's very late and so dark outside. There's a chance that you will be involved in something. " He replied to Philip.

"But, I felt embarrassed. Your cousin came back and I need to give some privacy to both of you." Philip replied as he looked down.

"What's wrong with you? Just sleep here." He said.

"Huh? Sleep h.. here?" Philip asks all of a sudden and Kairo nodded at him.

Noa stops and he clears his throats down the stairs, "what's going on now? I'm hungry." He said to them, They went to the table and a maid made some evening food for them.

"So, what's your deal? Why did you come back here?" He asks, while they are sitting on the couch on leaving area.

"porque quiero, me siento aburrido allí. Mi mamá me sigue regañando y estoy harto de eso, So really sick of it." Noa replied and he sighs.

(because I want to, I feel bored there. My mom keeps scolding me and I'm sick of it)

"eres tan travieso por eso tu mamá te sigue regañando." Kairo said to him.

(you're so naughty that's why your mom keeps scolding you)

Suddenly Philip drools the milk drink out of his mouth after he hears noa and kairo talking in spanish.

"Woah, so cool." He said all of a sudden and Noa and Kairo looked at him.

"Cómo te llamas?" Noa asks him.

(What's your name)

"Huh?" Philip I didn't know how he answered it because he can't understand Spanish.

"por qué estás silenciado? Te estoy preguntando, no puedes hablar?" Noa said to him.

(why are you muted? I'm asking you, you can't speak?)

"No le hables así, habla en inglés.

(Don't talk to him like that, he speaks in English.) He can't understand what we saying." Kairo replied to him.

"Oh, i'm sorry. I thought you knew how to speak Spanish." Noa said to philip.

"It's ok, what did you say to me earlier?" Philip asks him.

"Oh, I said what's your name?" He replied.

"I'm philip."

"Ok, nice to meet you." Noa replied and he smile.

"He's noa, actually he's not my cousin but he's my childhood friend. We have been together since we were born on the same day and same time. We're just neighbours but end up buddy." Kairo said to Philip.

"Yes, that's right. Honestly we're not something, we are boyfriends." Noa jokingly said to him.

"Seguiste hablando así, puedes parar ahora?" (You kept talking like that, can you stop now?) He asks noa, as he gets pissed off, "That's not right, we're just best friends." He said to philip.

Philip was smiling at them as he kept pretending on it, "I want to sleep now. I don't know what they are saying." He said to himself.

"What happened to your elbow, dude?" Noa asks him.

"Oh, I just bumped it on a hard thing." He replied.

"You deserve it, jackass." Noa making him pissed off.

"Can you go back to Spain right now? You're getting on my nerves."

"Just kidding, get well soon. Can I sleep with you? I don't want to sleep in the guest room." Noa said.

"You can't." He replied.

"Dude, but-

"Sólo sigue lo que estoy diciendo." (Just follow what I'm saying) Kairo cut noa's word as he got mad.

"Fine, fine. Ok I'll sleep there." He replied. He stood up, walking heading to the guest room upstairs.

"Gosh, that naughty boy. He came back here just to cause some trouble." Kairo said.

"You're not sleepy?" Philip asks him.

"Well, I am. Let's go to my room and sleep there." He said.

They walk upstairs, heading to his room, while they are walking. Philip suddenly felt cold and kairo noticed him, He took off his cardigan and put it on Philip.

"You're cold? I'll just turn off the air-conditioner in my room if we get there." He said to Philip and they continued walking in the hallway, heading to his room.

Noa, he in the guest room felt bored even though it was a late hour. "Argh! I went back here because I want to have fun and not feel boredom!" He yelled at himself,

"But, I can see the little boy's eyes. He likes kairo, but who knows? Maybe it's true." He said, "So suspicious."

Kairo and Philip were laying down together on one bed and they felt awkward to each other.

"You two are good at speaking Spanish." Philip said to him.

"Oh, yeah. I lived in Spain for about 7 years. How can I not learn that?" He replied.

"Yeah, it's true." Philip said as he trembled his lips.

"Have you still felt cold?" Kairo asks him.

"Oh, y.. yeah. A little bit." He replied, stammering, "I thought the winter is already here because your house is like of it.. so cold." He added.

Kairo smiles at him while they are talking to each other, "i and my family also those maids used to it." He replied, "You still felt cold?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm still feeling it." Philip replied.

He took the blanket out of his closet to put it on Philip's body. "Do you still feel cold?" He asks again, while laying on the bed

"Yes, I feel cold." Philip replied.

"What should I gonna do?" He asks himself, he suddenly grabs Philip's waist to hug him and Philip gets startled.

"W.. what are you doing?" He asks kairo confusedly.

"Decreasing some coldness on your body. There's nothing wrong with it."kairo replied.

They stare at each other for a second and he just closes his eyes because it's so very close to Kairo's face.

"What are you doing?" He asks Philip.

"Oh, i.. I'm closing my eyes. I'm sleepy now, i n.. need to sleep." He replied as he got shy while still Kairo was hugging him so tightly.

Someone knocked the door and they both got startled and confused at the same time.

"What's that? Who's that?" Philip asks him.

"I don't know." He replied, he stood to walk closer to the door and he opened it, he saw noa after he opened the door. "You startled me.. argh! You jerk. What's wrong with you?" Kairo asks him annoyingly.

"I can't sleep in the guest room. I need some people who are with me. I really can't sleep there. I feel scared." He replied as he stepped forward to enter, "Woah, not change at all, but I've just noticed. Why are you turning off your air-conditioner? You haven't turned it off since before." He added.

"Philip can't sleep in one place that is so cold." Kairo replied, "Sleep on the floor, I you want to sleep here with us." He said.

"Huh?" Noa got confused by what Kairo said to him.

He went back beside Philip, suddenly noa jumped on the bed and he laid down between them.

"Argh, better." He said.

Philip got confused and Kairo got pissed off.

"noa!!!"

"Goodnight, sleep well." noa replied with a smile.

"What are you doing, dude?" Kairo asks him madly.

"Shh, shut up. I'm sleepy." Noa replied and Kairo got mad, he wanted to shout but he couldn't, he just held back his anger.
