"Leon, we can talk later at home. So stop this." Owen's voice is sad. "Then come with me, make sure you are not leaving with him."Owen let out a deep sigh and look at Steven. He give him his money and said. "Buy me a paracetamol too, I feel like having a headache." "You're not gonna come with with?" Steven asked him. "En. Find me inside the gym later." He withdrew himself from Leon arms and walk first. "Let's go." He said. Leon gulped when he noticed something. Owen is acting different. He followed him and they arrived at the gym. The professor who were looking for him are talking with his co-player. He pulled Owen and let him seat behind their seats. "Don't leave this place until I finished playing." He said. Owen nod his head but didn't even give him a look. Leon gritted his teeth while his chest keep tightening. Owen is acting like he acted when they were 15-years old. They got a fight and he didn't talk to him if he doesn't start the conversation. He's
The eyes of Owen started to squint. He doesn't expect that Steven doesn't have a plan to tell him about the matter involving Leon. "You forgot to tell me or you really don't have a plan?" He frowned and look at Steven. Steven didn't expect this Owen's sudden changed of behavior. Well, he indeed deleted the message for Owen's sake, or that was he thought. He have to admit, he crossed the line. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He have to apologize. He thought that, the message from Leon was just for trying to get Owen's attention. "Sometimes, it's better to stop being so nosy. Even you didn't mean it, you've already crossed the line." Leon stood up after saying his words. He handed back the water bottle to Owen and told him that he need to go back to the game. Owen accepted the bottle but didn't utter any words. He maybe a gentle and understanding person, but if his privacy has been touched without his permission, that's another matter. "Owen.." Steven tried to start a
"But, why are you acting like this?" It is the time to figure everything out. From the way he keep stopping him and the way he got mad everytime he's with Steven. He wanted to know everything behind this action of Leon. "Because.. I'm used to be with you all along. I don't want to see you with anyone else. Maybe because we used to be together from the beginning." Leon explained. "That's it?" "Yes." Leon nodded. "So it was all because of that? Nothing more? But if he tried to think about it.. No. He can't continue to assume. Everything turned into like this because he assumed. "But did you kiss me?" Owen almost forget. "Well, because I thought you like being kissed. Are you not?" Leon raised his head and look at him this time. He like being kissed? Hahaha oh my God! Do Leon really not know how his actions affecting him? Or he really doesn't know about what is love? Owen flinches about that thought. Wait, Leon didn't know about love? Seriously?! "Why do you look
"What.." He didn't even finish his sentence when another slap landed again on the other side of his face. Angelica is enraged, but why does she have to slap him? And why him? "You're not just gay, you're also a snake!" Angelica shouted. They are inside of the campus with so many other students from other schools, and she is shouting like that? "What do you mean?" He frowned while asking. "You knew that Leon like me! So why do you keep chasing him?!" Owen noticed that there's a lot of students who are surrounding them now. Holding their phones and trying to take some videos. Ah.. So Angelica wants to ruin his image by shouting like this? "Hey! How did I chase Leon as you've said? And how the f*ck that you even involve me if you said he like you?" Angelica bit her lip and to Owen surprised, she begun crying. "I see now, when Leon said he likes you, you think that he likes you in a romantic way? Have you forgotten? Me and you are Leon's childhood friends, so it is normal for hi
The three male students of the school walk together to go to the gym to watch another school game. They never saw Angelica inside the campus after what she did. Maybe she went home after realizing how foolish she was by trying to blame Owen. "Hey! I thought you were seriously injured? How can you walk like you weren't?" The student who belong to Leon's team saw them and approached them to ask Leon. "I was, but I'm good now." Leon smirked. "No way, man! You were just acting that time, don't you?" The man is laughing now and he gave Leon a tap on his shoulder. "Haha, enough teasing. How's the game?" They continue walking together with the player. "Thanks to the points you've scored before getting injured, we won." "As expected." "Hahaha! You're an actor now, I see." "I knew you guys can continue making scores, and I'm right." Leon grabbed his hand and pulled him to find seats. "Oh yeah? Anyway, you're that Steven right? The dancer?" The player pays attent
Leon withdrew himself immediately and helped him to sit down again. He also fixed his clothes and lay back his head again in his thighs. "Don't get drunk later, do you understand?" Leon said while his eyes are on the television. "You knew I don't drink." "Well, just in case your boyfriend asked you to drink. " "Steven also told me not to get drunk. He texted me a while ago." Leon remain silent for a while. "You, really like him?" Leon asked without looking at him. He likes Steven? Well, yes. He likes him, but as a friend. He can't tell him that of course. "I wouldn't agree with him to become his boyfriend if I don't like him." He answered. "I see." "How about you? I thought you like Angelica, why did you reject her?" "I wanted to be in a relationship with someone I love, not just because I like that person." Leon answered him while looking at him.
Owen couldn't find his words to answer Leon's question. All he knew right now is that, Leon seem dejected and scared of losing him. He looked at his eyes and touched his face before pulling him to his embrace. "You're my brother, my best friend and my family. Of course I love you." He said after a while. Deep inside his heart, Owen felt relief. He said what he wanted to say to Leon even it was delivered wrong. He still told him that he loves him. "You're not going to replace me, right?" Leon asked again. "What do you mean replaced you?" "You're going to leave me once you decided to live with Steven, aren't you?" Owen gulped and almost bursted out what he really feels for Leon. "Well, I guess it was normal to be with someone you love."Leon didn't answered but stood up instead. He pulled him and brought him to his room. They entered his bathroom and Leon opened the shower. He didn't stopped
Leon and Owen board to Batangas to go home. They also had to travel for three hours to get there, so they woke up early. "Wear your coat, you might catch a cold because of coldness in Tagaytay later." Leon put the coat on him. Before you get to Batangas, you will first pass through Tagaytay where mount Tall is located. Tagaytay is also a place that is cold but Baguio is more cold than Tagaytay. "Thanks" "Let's find our seats." Leon hold his hand to get in the bus. "Have you called your mom?" Owen asked Leon while following him. "Yeah, she said they'll pick up us later." Leon stopped beside the vacant seat. "Sit here." He said while supporting him to sit. "Will my mom go with her later?" He looked up at him because Leon is putting their bags on the baggage cabin above their seats. "Have you ever seen those two separated from each other?" Leon took his seat. "No." "En. Then yes, they'll come together to pick up us." Leon hold his hand and tapped h
