25 - Scarred Moon
EROS
I was inside my room, lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling. It was a painted ceiling that resembled the night sky. There’s the gray scarred moon on the side, dead stars spangled around its entirety and a falling white comet at the center. It was one of my favorite works.
I always looked at it before going to sleep, and when I woke up, it would be the first thing I would see.
A knock was heard, and I rose as it opened. Port entered the room, hugging a pillow across his chest. He was wearing a pair of pajamas—it could be a gift from his besties. His eyes were glancing around the room, then finally met mine. Port was biting his lower lip as he moved toward the bed.

EROS"So, it's confirmed you are that kid," Perth said as we rode inside the elevator. He then pressed G-key."Yes, it was me," I murmured."What's odd was how accurate your dream was,"I didn't respond. It was all over my head since I woke up. It was odd to have a vivid dream, much more a dream about the past. No, I couldn't call it a dream. I wasn't dreaming. I was there. I was watching it happening, all before my eyes.It was mystical, but that's it. I couldn't do anything about it but dig deeper. It was a blessing I could see what had happened, that I could understand myself more.

EROS"I don't think Val was lying when he said he knew Port," Perth said, driving our way back to my unit."Yeah. I agree. How did he know Port's name? They must've met before,""But, a month had passed; how could he remember everything vividly?""He said that Port was wearing a weird outfit that day. Maybe the outfit was remarkable enough that it was worth remembering?"Perth nodded. My whole history was chaotic, and Port's past was more confusing. It was understandable to be in shambles to dig events twenty years ago, but Port's was a month-old tracking. In his case, it was always a dead end.

EROSPort greeted me with a smile as I entered the unit. He was in the kitchen, cooking something. The unit smelled butter and the sound of frying food popping like raindrops on the roof."What are you preparing?" I asked, striding to the living room."Uhm," he hummed, looking at the pan. "I am cooking a fillet,""Fish?""Yep,"It had been ages since I had tasted a meal cooked by Port. The last time was when my property was still standing; it was a beef broth with sweet corn.I sat on the couch facing the counter of the kitchen where he was busily cooking. I could tell that he was very enthusiastic, holding a ladle and facing a pan from where I was sitting."Are you hungry?" he asked, still focused on cooking."Not really,""Well, would you mind if I ask you t

EROS"Eros, are you listening?" Perth snapped in front of me. I looked at him, and he was displeased.My brain cells suddenly wired and brought me back to the present. They reminded me that Perth and I were alone in the living room. Ara and Port, we're out shopping."I'm sorry. Where are we?"He crossed his arms against his chest, one leg forward tapping the floor. "Now. Tell me, what's bothering you?"I faked a laugh. "No. I think I need more sleep,"Perth sat beside me. From the corner of my eyes, I could see his judging look. I turned to him and stretched a smile."You cannot lie to me, Cuevas,"My shoulders dropped, protruding my mouth. Perth was a human lie detector, proven and tested by experts. He could always sense the best and worst of me."I'll tell you later," I promised. "Repeat what you were speaking of

EROSPort entered the unit with shopping bags in his grip. He was beaming upon seeing me in the living room, rushed toward the kitchen then placed the bags at the counter."Port, can you come over?" I called."A second," he replied.He greeted me with a smile, but it faded when he saw my expression. Port and I hadn't had a chance to talk about the elevator fiasco—the following day, when I woke up, he was already gone with Ara."Take a seat," I commanded. Port settled himself on the single couch opposite to where I was sitting. He pursed his lips, looking at the ceiling with his hands rubbing on each other."Do you remember anything from yesterday?" I asked directly.He looked at me with a blank expression. "What about yesterday?"I blew a quick laugh. "I'm the one's asking here," I gritted my teeth. "Wh

EROSPort and I sat on the sofa, holding hands while Perth was striding back and forth, crossed arms and stern face. The door opened, and Ara hurriedly entered. Port lowered his head upon seeing his best friend."I cannot believe what I just heard!" she howled, walking toward the living room."I'm glad you came," Perth greeted his girlfriend."As it should!" she pointed. Ara glared at us, "Eros!" I jumped upon hearing her shrieking voice. "How dare you lay your hands on my bestie!" Ara snatched my hair then pulled it."Argh," I groaned, trying to shove Ara's grasp."How dare you, Eros Cuevas!" she cried, tugging my hair forcefully. All I could do was screech and lean forward to minimize the distress in my scalp.Perth was shouting, stopping Ara from balding me, and Port was helping me to remove her hands."Bestie,
Befallen: A Herald's Tale (BL) 32 - Golden Rays
EROSGolden rays of the sun beamed through the open window, illuminating Port's pale face in his silent slumber. His brows scrunched from the heat, so I had to block my hands for a cover. Other rays passed through his naked body, glaring at his perfect, radiant curves.I giggled as I heard him snore. Last night, he had told me that we would wake up early to jog together before the sun rose. However, he was here with me, sleeping soundly.Port shifted his position toward me, grabbing the blanket up to his neck. "Stop watching me, pervert!" he grunted, still closing his eyes."Hey!" I exclaimed. "I'm not a pervert!""Pffft,"

EROSPort sat on a picnic cloth with his legs crossed; he distributed sandwiches to the kids forming a straight line. His face was a perfect picture of euphoria."Eros," I turned to my left and saw a familiar face. She was wearing a plain white shirt and navy blue skirt with a veil on her head. It was Sister Connie, the pre-school teacher in the orphanage. She was smiling at me as she approached."Sister," I greeted, bowing my head."God bless you, son," she said, patting my head."It's been ages, sister,""When was the last time you have visited here?""Last year. I think May," I answered shortly. I joined her walking around the field where picnic setups were made."Ah, it was Sister Ely's birthday. Blessed her soul,"I nodded. I finally recalled it was Sister Ely's birthday celebration,
