XXIII: Mr. President Will Keep You Company!
"Are you sure you're not going back to sleep yet?" William asks as he stirs his mug of hot chocolate.
"Yes, I don't feel like sleeping again any time sooner." Vincent took a sip of his own hot chocolate. "Don't mind me. I'm good."The two of them went out of their room and stayed in the corridor for a while to take a breath of fresh air while they watch the twinkling stars above. It's actually a little chilly so Vincent took his blanket with him and put it on his shoulders, providing him the comfortable warmth.Just a little detail to notice, the apartment they're renting is the same as the one that Ulysses is staying in at the present time. In fact, they are staying in the exact room that Ulysses is dwelling within his four years of high school.Unlike in Ulysses' time, this apartment is pretty new. It's the same as the neighboring buildings. Four decades earlier ago from the present time, these residential buildings actually don't look scary at all. Although most of thRelated chapters
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXIV: Mr. President Remembers It Clearly!
"William, from now on, this child will be your study companion."William can clearly remember how his father introduced Vincent to him. At that time, the eight-year-old young master of the House of Lopez doesn't know where this weak and spineless-looking creature came from.Vincent as a child was a skinny one. Aside from his pale complexion, his body is full of bruises and wounds. This made him covered with bandages. But what bothers the child the most is Vincent's pair of dim eyes, like it all, used up its brightness. From William's vision, he sees through the other's melancholy."Study companion?" Hearing the word study, William's bright face turns into a long one. "I don't want how that sounds, father." Just like any other typical child, William once hated to study as well.Others say learning is fun. But maybe it only applies to those children who get to go to school with other children around their age. William, however, has a different case. His mother is very prot

Nothing much happened the next day. It's just another ordinary day. And by ordinary, there isn't much work waiting for the members of the Student Council."March is approaching." William sighs quietly as he leans on the backrest of his chair. He just finished the work that's supposed to be done yesterday. Good thing, the deadline for these paper works got extended. "We're graduating soon."Vincent on the other hand is currently organizing his desk. "Yes. Time sure flies." Thinking about the memories they made within their four years in high school, Vincent can't help but draw a slight smile on his lips."What are you planning to take up for college?" Like a hiring employer that is asking an applicant, William intertwined his fingers, putting his hands on his desk, and raised his eyebrows. "I'm sure you already have a plan. Why are you not telling me anything?"William already decided on the career path he's taking. He wants to be a respected teacher in the near future, p
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXVI: Mr. President Needs To Go Home!
William rises from his seat and walks towards the doorway to pick up the envelope. He reads the details and learned that the letter came from their hometown."It's from father." He told Vincent.His parents rarely send him a letter so they are not expecting to receive one from them. What's more strange is that this letter is addressed to both of them.They didn't waste any time and opened the envelope that's sealed by wax, embedding the family emblem of the House of Lopez."That must be an official business of your family." Vincent jokingly said.William got his humor and chuckles. "Perhaps. Let's find out together."Basically, the letter asked them how are they doing, how are their studies and such. But as they read further, the topic shifted into a more serious one. Mr. Lopez isn't being direct to the point but he mentioned something for each of them. For William, he mentioned something about his future that they need to talk about. And for Vincent, Mr. Lopez sai
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXVII: Mr. President, Gotta Leave Without You!
Vincent extends his hand upwards to block the harsh sun rays from getting directly on his face. As he looks up, he realized that even the clear blue sky above seems as busy as the people on the ground with all these seagulls flying.This beautiful scene got blocked by an umbrella. "I really hate going out during noontime." William said as he makes sure he shared enough shade for Vincent.Although they left their apartment early, they still arrived at the seaport around lunchtime. To reach William and Vincent's hometown, they still need to ride a ferry-boat since it's located on the other island of the country."Give me that, young master." Vincent snatched the handle of the umbrella from William's hand and gave him a shade instead."..." William got speechless for a good. He didn't saw that coming. He knows the drill, it's just he forgot about it. "I'm not used to you calling me that anymore. It makes me feel uncomfortable.""Bare with it. I don't want to get a spanki
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXVIII. Mr. President Is Upset!
The child in his sister's arms stares at Vincent without blinking even once. It's almost like this child can see through him and is currently judging his committed sins."Elena, who is this little man?" Vincent asks his sister without averting his eyes to the kid. "You already have a child?" He thought he's only gone for eight years. Now his sister that's just three years older than him has already a child! A lot of things must have happened while he's gone."Are you crazy?! He's our youngest brother, Alphonse!" She annoyingly wipes the tears that are still forming in her eyes. She was about to cry but Vincent changed her mood in an instant. "Seriously, I am being emotional here and there you are, accusing me of teenage pregnancy."Only by then did Vincent realized it. If he's not mistaken, this child is around five to six years old. Elena Cruz was just more or less thirteen years old when Alphonse was born! He puffed a laugh, saying, "Sorry, I didn't know your father remar
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXIX: Mr. President Is Feeling Unwell!
"Vincent, I'm asking. Why did you go alone?" William asked once again. "Didn't I told you I'll come with you?" Before Vincent could even utter a word, he threw another question to him again. His eyes look cold, and his face doesn't seem very pleased. Even so, his tone didn't rise and still sounds casual.The truth is, he's actually quite annoyed and not in a good mood. Something happened in their residence which made him upset. Plus, he learned that Vincent came home alone. And another thing, he's actually standing outside for quite some time now. He got into an argument with the guards, and even after having the upper hand in their small debate, one of the guards took some time finding the young master Vincent. William couldn't do anything but wait outside patiently while leaning his back on their car.Vincent walks closer to the gate and holds its iron bars. "It's because I don't want to interrupt your reunion with your family." He then averted his eyes from William and look
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXX: Mr. President Had The Same Dream As the Campus Heartthrob!
The sun already starts to rest on the west. Vincent and William are riding one of the cars that William's family owns. They're heading back to the Lopez's manor.Slowly, William's head lowers until he could lean on Vincent's shoulder. He seemed tired and not in a good mood."Are you sure you're fine? Why do you seem so weak now? You were full of energy just this morning." Vincent asks as he pokes William on the cheek. Seeing William like this... this situation is something Vincent considers as rare. He's a burst of walking sunshine after all... or at least that's what Vincent thought. The truth is, William is only cheerful when Vincent is around. When he's not, he's back to his "mature" self.Getting only silence as a reply, he pokes William's cheek again. "Are you still upset that I went home alone and left you cluelessly? Hey, say something."Then the other let out a deep sigh. "Don't mind me. I'm just... feeling exhausted." William said in a tone that expresses his lo
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXXI: Mr. President Got Caught On Cam Again!
"Ulysses." Dylan snapped his fingers in front of Ulysses twice. "Are you even listening?"Only by then did Ulysses got dragged back to the reality from the flooding thoughts in his mind. He didn't even notice that he's already spacing out. He's too occupied recalling the strange things that happened in that apartment. Now, he's convinced. That apartment is clearly a haunted one, even without Mr. No face around. Or does his unseen roommate have something to do or at least has an idea about what just happened?"Huh?" Ulysses looks at Dylan with his eyebrows knitted."I knew it, you aren't listening at all. Anyway, aren't you going to unbox your luggage?" He points at some of Ulysses' luggage on his bed. "You see, your things are occupying my portion of the place.""Right." Ulysses rises on his feet and came to pick up his things. That's right, Ulysses and Dylan are officially roommates, just like William and Vincent back in the old days."What were you thinking?" Dylan
