Jay's pov:
I saw everyone surrounding me for muffin.
I wanted one person to come—
Keifer.....
I saw the moment he stayed still—eyes never leaving me
I saw the moment he walked out with his siblings—
Section E left eventually. Everyone scattered—
Leaving me with Octane pantoms
Julian: You know, you should have gone after him.
I lowered my gaze.
Maria: I don't know how he feels
He raised an eyebrow with an expression hinting seriously!?
Maria: Well you guys leaving now Julian drop me at his house.
And he did drop me.
Before going in
Julian: He won't think anything.... He will probably blame himself for not being there. Moreover I observed him long enough to understand this.
I didn't have a second to talk back bcoz he had already left. I could hear the pavement screech fade away slowly.
I sighed—
A painful one.
I entered walked— Keigan let me in
I just gave him a polite nod.
I went towards his room.
His door was slightly open.
He was drinking alcohol—
I just stood there seeing him crying for few mins—
"I'm sorry Jay..." He murmured as tears falling down heavier.
I didn't want him to see me like this. I never wanted him to feel my pain.
"I'm sorry Jay, I should have known and this time I won't leave your side for a single second"
I saw tears falling again....but mine too. I walked towards him and wiped a small drop of tear.
Smiled faintly.
" I know you won't keifer.... I trust you and I love you. I chose you."
And that was the truth... I trusted him, loved him. And always will.
I saw the way he looked at me. I could see pity.
I hate getting pitied the most since I was little— But for the first time in my life I felt like I needed pity. Not from others.
From keifer
I wanted him to coax me. And honestly I loved his warmth. Alway will....forever.
He was starting close his eyelids. They were heavy like he hadn't slept for months. I helped him to bed. He adjusted himself. His face in the crook of my neck. hand tightly gripe on my waist.
" I love you Jay until scientist find the end of the universe and beyond" he murmured
His breath shallow and uneven.
" I Love you too keifer always and forever" And I?
Meant EVERY. SINGLE. WORD.
I texted kuya. I won't be home.
Surprisingly?
He was ok with it. But still he texted com home early. Honestly I'm 18. Why am I even asking?
Sigh. I closed my eyes tighten my hold on keifer.
********************************************
(next morning):
Jay's pov:
I woke up—
The first thing I noticed was him. Warmth. My safe place.
I brushed a thumb over his jaw.
Soft.
Gentle.
I didn't know why I smiled? But I did anyways.
Warm arms. Warm breath brushing my neck.
I kissed his forehead.
"You're awake?" I whispered.
He hummed, face still pressed to my neck. Then his eyes opened.
"Morning," he whispered, brushing a kiss on my cheek.
"Soo.... I need to get up" I whispered.
"No," Keifer mumbled immediately without a second thought.
I had to leave early before kuya Angelo actually starts with his lecture.
It's boring to hear. It can make your ears bleed.
TRUST ME!
He tightened his arms around me like a seatbelt. But seatbelts can be removed....But this cannot be removed. This probably a....
Hu-human seatbelt!
Yes that fits! Human seatbelt.
"Keifer, I need to go home before Kuya twist my ears."
He groaned. Not a real one.
But a dramatic one.
"Five minutes," he bargained, face still buried in my neck.
Are we in a company negotiating deals or something to bargain?
"You said that ten minutes ago." I raised an eyebrow
He didn't respond. He just tightened his hold again.
"Ok...then let's go on a date today... Just you and me no one else for the entire day I'm yours" I said with a happy smile that actually reached my eyes. With a hint of pure excitement.
He took his face away from my neck.
"really" It felt like he was not able to believe me.
I nodded. And got of bed.
"Pick me at my house in 1hr" I said and left him behind.
He stood still half-awake but happy.
I walked out of his house.
This date is a promise that I'll always love you no matter what. Till scientist find the end of the universe keifer. Because you are my Mark keifer Watson. Even though there are consequences a head should always be ready to face it. And I will always fulfill my responsibilities.
