[POV ACHLYS - Bottom]
Two months is too long for me without being together with my only friend in this universe. I missed him so much. I've been traveling this past month to London, Canada, and France alone. But even though I was traveling around, carrying some catchy bags and lookin' like a rich ass kid which was really true, I can't feel any fun or joy without my crazy Best friend. After that long month, I was finally here on the school ground, feeling so shy and uncomfortable.

'Where is this shit, I've been looking for him, 3 fucking hours and it's kinda irritating.'
'Where the fuck are you? Can you just bring that fucking ass of yours here now?' I cursed my best friend in my mind co'z he's pulling the shit out of me.
Students were increasing and it'll be hard to find him. Ugh, this is torture.
I was startled by the sudden strong tapped on my shoulder. F*ck it, I thought I was going to die early.
"You bitch, no one had ever slap my shoulder. " I said while I glare at him when I was able to meet his gaze. —
"I'm sorry rich kid." he said mocking me and laugh at my irritated face.
"Anyway, hi. Stop frowning, you look ugly" and he really had the guts to say that so I smack his head hard.
" You ASSHOLE, you're late and you're annoying me, What a great friend you are eh?" I said sarcastically.
When we heard the bell rang, students began to proceed to their own rooms co'z the class will start soon. Me and this shit sprinted to our classroom before our professor arrives first. I'm afraid he'll scold us. Thankfully, we arrived first before him so we settled our self, sitting beside each other.
" Hello student! Silence pls."
"Fu----" I almost cursed at him when he shouted that made every student almost jump out of their chairs.
"What is that Mr. Achlys?" My heart began to beat rapidly. I swear I hate my mouth.
"Ummm I-i---" My eyes wander around as I saw a pen on the floor so I picked it up and....
"Fu--Found it." I exclaimed while raising the pen. I look so stupid that my friend was about to die, trying to stop his laughter.
" Ok, now attention. Someone transferred to our school. So let me introduce to you your new classmate, Acquirer."
Lip bite /*
" Hello I'm Acquirer. Just call me Acq." He shortly introduced himself.
The first time I laid on him, I feel chills run through my spines. Why do I feel like I have known him a long long time ago? Huh, what a feeling, I think I need to go to the clinic. But I can't deny, my heart is beating abnormally, what was happening?? I really need to visit my private doctor for this.
"Welcome Acquirer. You can take your sit beside that hard-headed Achlys over there. " Our prof loves me so much. I'll take that as a compliment but damn, why does it suppose to be here, beside me? He nodded and walked slowly towards me.....
I mean the chair beside me. I stayed still. I don't want to look at him, but my body refuses so I look at him and smiled a bit. What the f*ck!!???
As long as I laid my eyes on him, I can't pull it back anymore. I just stared at him trying to recognize if I saw him already or met him in the country I visited. He doesn't look familiar, but I feel like I've seen him already. It feels so strange and confusing.
" Hi." My thoughts slipped away immediately when a deep voice was suddenly entered my ears.
" H-hello." I replied stammering.
" Oh shit, we have an urgent meeting. Class, I have something important to do so I'll leave an Activity for you to do. Passed it on to my office afterward. " Our prof announced and gave us the activity. But what matters the most for me, is when I heard our prof cursed. Great!!!
______________
It was our break time and our classmates were keeping their things and began walking out of our room, and that includes me. While keeping my things I can't help myself from asking him. Why, I'm curious.
" E-excuse me. Have we met before ?" I asked him and he turned to look at me.
" Um. NO. why? " He said while hanging his bag on his broad shoulder.
"O-oh nothing. You're just so familiar. Aisshhh. Never mind, I think I was just assuming things. " I said. Yeah, that's right! Or maybe, I saw someone look like him before? Maybe. But I have to stop myself from stuttering every time. Stop being a chicken, you stupid me.
" Okey. " He replied looking at me with confusion.
I just smiled at him awkwardly but he didn't repay my precious smile!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!??? DID HE JUST----IGNORE??? F*CK HIM. I just rolled my eyes and proceeded to walk out co'z my friend already left me.
________________
" Class Please listen. I will be giving you a pair-off activity, and your seatmate will be your partner. "
I was shocked. Why does it have to be like that? I look at the man beside me and I almost forgot to breathe when he did the same and our gaze met. I smile at him but he didn't smile at me back. Seriously? Can't he be that nice? Well I'm not nice either but shouldn't he be thankful that I smiled at him? Coz, believe it or not, I barely smile. But my eyes run down to his lips that were pinky as cherry blossom and I began to wonder if it was soft as it looks like. I gulped when I feel like I just wanted to bite it.
" Investigatory project. To be submitted next MONTH." My teacher announced.
DAMN IT, WHAT!? Investigatory project on the first day of school? That early? I prefer Demure to be my partner, that bullshit friend of mine, then this snob human being.
It only took hours but for me it took ages, waiting for him here in this little chair. We have nothing to talk about so we let silence suffocate us.
" Here. !" He suddenly gave me a letter.
" Let's meet in the canteen for a meeting."
He straightened and walked out, leaving me here alone. I scoffed and put the letter on my bag abruptly. Tsss.
Finally!! The bell rang which means it's lunchtime. I was about to tell him something but when I turned he was gone. How did he leave so fast? Is the Flash in disguise? What the hell.
I had no choice but to proceed in the canteen alone coz Demure surely went to flirt with girls. Anyway, where is that snob?
" Hey. Achlys"
Someone called my name. I turned to face that guy and yeah, it was him.
" Here." he tapped the chair beside him but I sited on the opposite side, facing him.
I stared at him for a while and noticed those Brown orbs against the raising Sun and those pinkish lips that looks thin but kissable. Damn.
" Here. " He pushed a tray of food towards me. I was kinda shocked at the act. He treated me. I feel so soft, maybe because no one had done this before, even Demure.
" Thank you. " I can only mutter and responded with a sweet
"You're Welcome"
" Well if you don't mind you can go to my condominium and let's just start the meeting there. I don't want to talk here, I can't focus." I asked straightly, keeping myself from stammering.
" Okey. Just send me your address later. After eating your lunch. " We agreed and began to devour our lunch. Yes, I admit that he looks cute when he bites his meal. Gosh, I felt something strange when I'm with him.
I shook my head abruptly. Stop thinking of those stupid things. I assure myself and began eating once again.
"Ow who the hell is this," I said as I grab my shirt, went to the door, and open it. I was terrified when someone pulled me over and hug me, I didn't even look at his face but suddenly I recognized who he was. It's Acq, I hugged him back. Again the feeling of hugging someone and hearing the beat of their heart. I exhaled and hug him tighter. "Come inside," I offered as we entered inside he immediately sat on the sofa. He smile and hugged the pillow, I think he missed my house. I went to the kitchen and grab some snacks and drinks for us. I sat beside him but he pulled me to sit on his lap, well I don't refuse so I let him with that. I smiled while hugging him, but I've been wanting to hear his voice."Why?" I asked him, he was not talking he was just staring at me. "Nothing let's go to the school," he mumbled "Huh? You called me a lot of times and you're just going to request that? I can't believe you." I said. So that's the purpose of those calls? I thought he wants to kiss me.
Achlys POV. Flashback. I cried all night after hearing my father's decision. I was so tired as I come home dad gave me stress and headache. Damn another struggle to come. "Achlys I must go now, my father is calling me several times, excuse me," Acquirer said and left the house, I saw his teary eyes and I felt I betrayed him face to face. How should I overcome this? And how should I face him? That time, I cried non-stop. Thinking why this destiny is so cruel? Why I can't be with him? How can I solve this without hurting a person? How can I solve this without hurting him? My tears keep on flowing down my cheeks, hugging my pillow as I am gazing at the moon. "Please help me with this," I mumbled, One morning, I get up and ready myself for the day. I don't have any plans but I wanted to go out. I was on a bus at that time, I saw Acq and someone running. "Who's that?" I asked myself I am curious who is he. What if questions are making me crazy again? "Stop," I said as the bus stops
"Get up, Can't you remember it's Monday." My dad shouted downstairs he always does that anyway, I'm used to it. Sometimes I am so annoyed about it but as time passed by I realized that it's also for my own sake. like he's waking me early so I am not going or be late for school. "Acquirer," I was about to close my eyes again but he shouted again."Yes, dad. I am preparing thanks for waking me up." I yelled back to him as I began to fix my stuff for school. "Good I thought you're still sleeping though." finally he stopped, and I sigh with relief. _____________________________"How's your vacation son?" He asked as he was still preparing our meal for today. I sat first at the table as I am patiently waiting for my food, he'll serve it eventually. "It was great that, It's fun," I replied and suddenly remember what happened last, last night in Achlys house. My tone isn't that happy though as I hope dad wouldn't mind it. "Good for you son." He replied as I began eating. "Yeah, thanks,
"Where do you live?" While he was focusing on the food, I asked him out. I am curious though."Near this hotel, I don't want to bring you there cuz you know I am not rich and you probably don't belong there." He said that time I don't know what to react or say to him but I just asked him "Are you a student or what?""Yes, I am." He replied "A bartender and a student, you pay for your own?" I asked again but suddenly something hit my mind, "Wait what's the name of this hotel?" I suddenly asked as my heart start beating fash. "Achlys hotel." He answered"Aw shit!" I cussed "What why?" He panic as I started moving fast getting all my stuff and wanted to leave this hotel as soon as possible. Achlys may see us. "What if he saw us last night?" I froze myself and overthink about it. "Let's go........" I yelled to him, "Where?" Yeah, he's right where are we going next, I had no idea though. "In your house, now" I grab his hand and pulled him going out of this hotel, as soon I am conten
Acquirer POV. "No, I don't want to," Achlys said shouting toward his father. As I can feel the anger in his heart, I can't move and I think this was the perfect time to tell them that I love him, but something is pulling me to do it. I don't know where to start and I don't know what or how to say the flaring love towards Achlys in my heart. "You have to for the sake of our family," his father said, I looked at his father and out of my curiosity, there are a lot of questions hitting my mind, 'sake of their family? In what way?' I asked myself. "But what about my freedom, and rights?" He continued arguing with his dad, I know he's right and I know his proving to himself that his father is dumb. "Your? You're being selfish son." He said that makes my conscience not to interrupt their arguments, Achlys mother is with his father. I don't think she'll go to Achlys' side. What is wrong with them? Is there a problem with this family? "Okay tell me, this is about the business right?" Ach
“So finally, it’s done I don’t have any problem now.” Acquirer uttered beside me. I can see his eyes that he was so relieved by that problem. I’m so proud as well of his supporting character in his life and vice versa. After that fantasy incident of ours, we have fallen asleep so fast because of frustration and tiredness.“Should we go home now.?” I asked him, it was early this morning we both woke up at the exact time.“For me, we should not waste any opportunity though, I meant a date something like that.” He said as he grin I was shocked by that attitude he showed, he used to be a cold bitch with his flaring cold stares at me making me uncomfortable every moment with him. “What?” he said as he starts scanning his face if there was something. “what’s in my face?” he again said. I chuckled and said, “in your face, there’s nothing wrong with it but in your smiles there is.”“LIKE WHAT?” his voice went wild as he looked in the mirror. “neh…. Nothing it’s a secret.” And I laugh as I
