Break My Heart (Mew x Gulf)

Chapter 27: The Feeling

"... and then he had the audacity to come up and flirt with me, like what the hell. You could clearly see I was with my partner, not a friend. Mac had even kissed me, but the guy still decided to come up and try to make a move."

Mew laughs at Ice's unimpressed face as she tells him about the incident that'd happened a day prior as they wait for their smoothies to be finished.

"And Mac, what'd he do about the whole thing?" Ice moves her wrist in a dismissive manner.

"He wasn't there, he'd gone to collect our order. But still, how much a confident cocky shithead of a guy do you have to be to just come up to someone and ask for their number in the most suggestive way possible. And I know he saw Mac and I kiss."

"A pretty damn self-asured asshole if you ask me." Ice laughs, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear before returning to her folded arm position.

"I guess so."

Just then, their names are called, a lady in her early thirties sliding their drinks across the table as they come to collect them.

Giving a quick 'thank you', they walk out the smoothie parlour, heading down the street towards one of the stray benches.

It was quite a sunny day, the weather was nice - though a bit humid - and there were barely any clouds to be seen, it was nice and relaxing.

The duo sit down in almost perfect sync, the wooden and steal bench occupything their bodies as they get into comfortable positions.

Ice pokes at the soft drink a few times before actually taking a sip, a satisfied sigh following shortly after. "Just what I needed." Mew hums, sipping on his own one with pleasure.

"So what about you huh? What have you been up to, it feels like months since we last talked."

Mew frowns in thought, going over all that's recently happened in his head since they last saw each other almost a month ago.

"Honestly nothing much, same as you I guess. Work, school, studying, more work and studying. Free time seems to be a delicacy recently."

"Oh come on, your life is way more entertaining then mine, it's gotta be a little more juicy than that." She prompts, an enticed look on her face. Mew gives her a questioning look.

"I assume by 'entertaining' you mean my sex life." He jokingly suggests, she laughs, trying to quickly swallow the the sip in her mouth before it ends up all over her clothes. Taking in a breath she lightly pushes Mew, smile still on her face.

"No! Believe it or not I actually want to know what you've been up to, I don't care about your sex life, I already know enough about that."

Mew hums, taking another gulp of the cold fruity bevarage. "What do want to know?"

"I don't know, maybe like... what's been happening with your parents, have you talked to them at all? Your sister?"

The silence that follows is enough to fill a book about his unspoken words, and she already knows what his answer will be. "I talked to my mom a few days ago, but as for dad and Siw, I haven't been in contact with them since before the start of the semester."

"What did you guys talk about?" She innocently asks. Mew shrugs, bringing his legs up onto the seat in a crossed position.

"Same old, talking about how they miss me and can't wait for me to come home." Ice give him a comforting smile, grabbing his hand to give it a quick squeeze, though not letting go afterwards.

"Mew they do miss you, they love you. Even if it seems like they don't sometimes, they do. I know this because I miss you when I don't see you for a long time. And I love you, so they definitely do, they probably just don't know how to express it properly sometimes."
