Chapter 2 - Confession [2]

Ethan reached to his classroom and slammed open the door.

He looked around the room before looking at the back window seat that had it's chair not put in under the desk properly, unlike how it was before.

(Damn protagonists, why are they always so quick to grab shit)

Ethan closed the door and went back to the direction he came from.

(If I was David, he would probably go 'there' right..?)

And so, Ethan ran towards the entrance.

========

Ethan got out of the school and went to a nearby convenience store where he brought some drinks and other stuff.

After he payed for the stuff, instead of going to the direction of his house, he went to the direction of Rayden's house.

He walked and walked and passed by Rayden's house.

He walked again for about 20 minutes and finally reached an old looking house that had a sign at the door saying 'The raven's play house! :D' with some cute drawings.

Ethan opened the door slowly just in case it accidentally breaks from being so old.

As soon as Ethan opened the door, he was greeted with stairs.

He went up those stairs and opened the door at the end of those stairs. Then he saw the same brown haired boy from before, David, leaning over the rooftop's railing and smoking.

"I didn't know you smoke"

Ethan said while closing the door behind him, David flinched and turned his head to face Ethan.

"...Why are you here..?"

"Oh please, don't act like you don't know"

Ethan walked towards David and lend with his back facing the rooftop's railing.

"..I don't..know what you're talking about"

David looked at Ethan in a daze before looking back at the sunset in front of him.

"Oh stop lying man, I know you saw Ray confessing to me"

"..."

There was a couple seconds of silence between us before Ethan spoke up again.

"I accepted the confession"

"...of course you did..."

"What?"

"...."

Seeing the awkwardness, Ethan opened the plastic bag his brought and took out 2 drinks.

"...want one?"

Ethan showed a can of coke towards David while his other hand had a can of lemon tea.

"...sure"

David took the can of coke, opened it and started drinking it to which Ethan did the same.

Then it was silence again, they both slowly drank their drinks while looking at the sunset slowly turning dark.

After a couple minutes or so, Ethan spoke up.

"...you like Rayden, right?"

"...What?"

"I mean, you're closer with him and you always seem like you enjoy his company more than mine so..."

"You..."

"I'm sorry, you know I can't really say no to stuff like that so I accepted. You can punch me if you want, you can even try to break us up and-"

"Stop, shut up for a moment"

David puts his hand on Ethan's mouth to make him stop talking and took his hand off after a couple seconds.

"You thought that I liked....Rayden?"

"...yeah? do you not?"

Ethan made a confused face expression.

"....you idiot"

David sighed, he budded his cigarette and threw it off the roof.

"What? did I say something wrong?"

David looked at Ethan with an unreadable expression. He leaned towards Ethan, gently grabbed his face and kissed him.

"Wha- mmh!"

Ethan tried pushing David away but David quickly grabbed his waist.

After a minute of kissing, David finally stopped kissing Ethan but he didn't let go of his waist.

"I love you, stupid"

David looked Ethan right in the eyes when he said that, he had a loving yet sad expression on his face.

"I-"

Ethan was about to answer before the roof door suddenly brusts opens.

And the one that opened the door was, Rayden.

Seeing who was the one that opened the door, Ethan quickly tried to push David off to which David did the opposite and embraced him more tightly.

"This- I- let go! Ray, it's not what it looks like!"

Ethan shouted while trying to push David away.

Rayden ran towards them both, pushed David off roughly and quickly hid Ethan behind him.

*THUD*

"Agh..!"

David slammed hard on the floor before looking up into Rayden's eyes that were unlike his normal eyes.

Rayden's eyes felt cold and disgusted.

"I knew you liked him and you probably already know that Eth accepted my confession yet you still did something like this..."

Rayden glared at David.

"I knew you were selfish but this is beyond disgusting"

After glaring at David one last time, Rayden quickly turned his attention towards Ethan.

"Are you all right, Eth? did he do anything more inappropriate to you?"

"No..?"

"You should ask David if he's alright, you pushed him down too roughly!"

Ethan yelled at Rayden who had a dumbfounded expression.

Ethan then pushed Rayden to the side and helped David get up.

"Are you all right?"

"...yeah I'm fine"

After Ethan helped David get up, Rayden quickly slapped David's hand away from Ethan's and held him close.

"You're way too kind, Eth"

"Wha-"

Rayden turned his attention towards David before Ethan could even say anything.

"You, stay away from MY boyfriend"

"You had your chances and I had mine yet you didn't make a move so I made mine, you only have yourself to blame"

Rayden talked to David coldly unlike how he usually talks to him.

David was only looking down at the floor with regret in his eyes.

(...Mission complete)

Ethan, who was still behind Rayden, was smiling happily.

Suddenly, a hologram appeared in front of Ethan to which the others didn't seem to see.

-MISSION COMPLETE-

YOU HAVE COMPLETED BREAKING APART THE MAIN LOVE INTERESRTS IN THE STORY 'Love is blind'.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE?

[Y/N]

Ethan scrolled his hand towards the yes button but before he pressed anything, he looked back at Rayden and David.

After a couple seconds of standing still, he clicked on the button.

(Have fun in your ruined world, boys~)

*THUD*

Ethan thought before his body fell on the ground.

"What- Ethan?!"

The two boys rushed over to Ethan's lifeless body.

Rayden shook Ethan's body while David called the ambulance.

Little did they know that Ethan's heart will never beat ever again, well, in this world that is.

========

In a white void, a portal suddenly opens up and someone came out of it.

It was Ethan.

After Ethan came out, the portal slowly closed. Ethan looked around the empty void before he looked in front and then a couch appeared.

Ethan walked towards the couch layed down on it.

"Announcements"

A hologram appeared in front of Ethan.

-ANNOUNCEMENTS-

TO ALL SYSTEM USERS OF {𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚛}, AN UNEXPECTED ERROR APPEARED AND IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO HACK INTO OUR SYSTEM SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO DELAY THE WORLD MISSIONS AND WORLD TRAVELLING UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.

FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CURRENTLY INSIDE A WORLD, YOUR MISSION WILL BE PAUSED AND YOU CAN GO RELAX INSIDE YOUR OWN VOID.

WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE SUDDEN ANNOUNCEMENT AND HOPE THAT YOU ALL CAN BE PATIENT AND WAIT UNTIL THE HACKER IS GONE.

-Sincerely, #14586356.

(A hacker huh...it's been a long time since someone tried to hack into the system again...)

"Considering the fact that they shut off everything including the [𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐], this hacker must be dangerous..."

I stood up and imagined my apartment or house I guess.

The couch vanished and then a wooden floor appeared beneath me. Walls, doors, and furniture started appearing all around me as well.

I sat down as I waited for the apartment to fully appear, who wants to wait a couple minutes by standing?

After a couple minutes of sitting on the floor, the apartment has finished appearing.

There was a kitchen on my right and a living room on my left, and there were stairs in front of me.

I stood up and walked up the stairs, as soon as I got upstairs I went towards the room at the farthest end on the left.

I opened the door and what greeted me was a desk that had a small self above it, a single bed with a bedside table beside it, a big closet that on the opposite side of the bed, another door on the left that led to the bathroom and other stuff. It was quite messy in there.

I walked towards my bed, took of the blazer and tie that I was wearing and flopped onto the bed.

"Hah...I can finally rest..."

I said while closing my eyes, I positioned myself in a comfortable position before I went to sleep.

Far far away from Ethan's void, someone was carefully watching him sleep on a hologram in a black void.

The person caressed Ethan's face on the hologram gently.

"....this time, I will make sure that our promise will be fulfilled...■■■■■■"
