Wonderful Days (MewGulf AU)

Chapter 1.1

Gulf POV

"Gulf" called by my university classmate.

"Yep?" I answer as I looked behind me.

Classmate, "Free tonight? There's a group date. You want to come? Of course, with free food and drinks."

Gulf, "I'll go."

"That's great. With you around, there will be plenty of girls." said by my classmate beaming at me. "I"ll send you mail later."

An attractive face and a perfect figure...but in reality I have an inferiority complex.

At the University Canteen

"Again? Aren't they depending on you a little too much, Gulf?" asked Mild, my bestfriend.

"It's fine. I can always enjoy a free feast everytime." I said.

Today as usual I behaved flamboyantly to keep up this image.

"I'm so lucky to be born with this face."

I startled when I heard the voice that's familiar to me. "Yeah, as if. You just find it embarassing to reject them...Mr. Nice Guy."

"Mew!" I said, looking back at him. "Shaddup! It's none of your business." I continue shouting at him to hide the blush that creeping on my face.

"Don't forget to throw out the rubbish tomorrow, Gulf. You'll get it from me if you forget." said Mew, ignoring me and walking pass behind me with a different girl beside him.

"Damn, he ignored me..." I said, panting heavily

Mild, "Gulf, you get cute when you're infront of Mew."

"Wh-wh-whag are you saying, P'Mild!?" I asked, stuttering.

Mild, "You don't have to pretend in front me. Mew is amazing. He is always with a different girl whenever I see him. Gulf, don't you get tired of it?"

I can't say anything when Mild is staring at me intensely.

Past, High School

When I was feeling so frustrated and hurt and lost all my smiles...I met Mew. He's smart and dazzling. A guy just like a king.

"I like men."

I was overwhelmed at that moment to a guy that seemed unaffected by anything, how would he react to it?

Mew, "Eh...is that so?"

He only said that in a normal way. A secret that could never be revealed now wasn't just mine alone. Even so, the world is still the same. Maybe because of this fact..I fell in love with him before I knew it.

Present, At Home

"I'm home." I said, coming home from the group date.

"Welcome back, the panda that attracts customers." Mew greeted while teasing me.

"Shaddup."

"You're fantastic. A gay attending a group date. What can you do?" He said settling to the sofa and turning on the TV.

"Things are unpredictable. Maybe I might meet the fated woman." I said, putting my bag away.

Mew, "Hah?"

"'Although I'm gay and you are a woman, I still like you!' Something like that." I said, quoting a famous drama line. "Dramas are always like that."

"What are you saying?" He said, laughing at me. "Geez, you're really interesting." he chuckle.

Why would I like him?

Mew is never serious and I'm a guy, there would never be any possibility. I knew it, but I still choose the same college as him. He sought me out to be his roommate and share the rent.

'It's impossible no matter how I think about it...' I wondered while taking a shower.

"Mew?" I called him after taking a shower.

Mew didn't answer me, then I saw him sleeping on the couch, I can't help but stare at him. 'Ah! My drool.'

"Mew." I tried waking him up, brushing his hair but he just continue sleeping.

Mew, "Nn.."

'Are you trying to kill me..?'

I feel like I'm dreaming everyday....

"Mew, go into the room if you want to sleep." I said, pinching his cheeks.

Mew, "Ouch!"
"Ah, I fell asleep?" he added getting up, brushing his hair.

"Not taking a shower?"

Mew, "Ah, I took it outside."

I stopped in my track, knowing what it means, feeling the heavy feeling against my chest once again. "Is that so?"

"Nn. Then goodnight." Mew said, yawning, heading to his room.

....as well as living in hell.
