"So why exactly are you here, P'Joss?", Saint quiered as Joss is now laying on the floor of his bedroom.

"Ah, it's late so your grandma told me to stay", he replied looking at Saint who's flat on the bed, back facing the ceiling.

"Ohw, but you said your house is just next door", Saint replied teasingly, Joss laughed.

"But it's still, it's late, it's dark.",

"Are you afraid of the dark,P?",

"No, no way", Joss laughed nervously.

"Really? But I intend to sleep with lights off?",

"You are?", Joss exclaimed, Saint laughed.

"You're cute, P', I didn't know a big guy like you still scared of the dark", Saint trailed only to make Joss heart skipped a beat for multiple times. How can this happened? How can this guy make my heart flutter without exerting an effort? As far as he knows, he's straight, Joss thought.

"Saint, why are you crying earlier? I know we are not that close and we just met earlier and in the most awkward way, but at least I can be a shoulder to lean on right?", Joss softly said, making Saint smile.

"Hm, it's nothing, P'. I just missed my friends, that's all.", Saint replied and turned his head on the other side.

"Is that so?",

"Yeah, by the way, my friend told me you're a womanizer..", Joss suddenly got choked with his own saliva.

"That's.. absurd.", Joss stuttered, Saint laughed hard.

"So, you are!! How many girls have you dated P?",

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but don't call me womanizer, I don't like it", Saint giggled, Josh blushed.

"So how many?",

"Around 20?",

"20? Oh my God! What a number!", Saint exclaimed. "Is that all during college?",
"Well, 5 in highschool, and 15 in college.",

"Oh my God! Tsk, you are really a womanizer!", Saint shaking his head.

"Hey!!",

"How about you?", Joss trailed and noticed thr change on Saint's face. "I'm sorry, did I.."

"One, I have one", Saint smiled.

"Oh, " he wanted to ask more but he don't know where to start.

"Let's just sleep, P", Saint tossed around then covered himself with his comforter.

"Saint..",

"Hm?", Saint looked back to Joss.

"Would you like to have a coffee with me tomorrow?", Joss asked looking straight to Saint's eye. "Well, I want to know more about my new friend, if you don't mind?", But Saint only stared at him. "Saint, it's okay if you don't.."

"It's okay, we can. But are you sure you want to spend your day with me? I mean, you'll be returning soon, it ain't better for you to enjoy your free time.",

"I want to learn more about my new friend, I think that's more enjoyable than spending it alone though", Saint suddenly felt his face warming on Joss statement.

"Let's sleep, P', I'm sleepy already.",

"Ah,ah.. go on.",

"Should I turn off the lights?",

"No!", Joss exclaimed, Saint automatically laughed.

"Goodnight,P'Joss.",

"Goodnight, Saint", Saint drifted to his slumber, but Joss could not sleep at all. Being sure that Saint's sleeping already, he slowly walked towards him, and sat on the bed. "What did you do to me, Saint? Why am I feeling like this?" He then slowly bent eyeing for Saint's pluffy lips, when he's about to kiss him, Saint mumbled on his sleep.

"P'Zee, don't... please stay with me.", Joss pulled back.

"Is he the one you dated Saint?", he murmured, then returned to his spot. "I'll make you mine.", he then added before going to his own slumber.

*********

Zee went straight to his room soon as Jennie and him arrived. They were set up for a dinner with Jennie's parents and his mom, everyone was wait for them in the living room. When they arrived, they were greeted but his mind is still floating somewhere. Instead of joining the said dinner, he went upstairs to his room. He laid on his bed. His mind is still on the fact that he's with Joss Wayar, why is he with him? Why with him? He got lost on time until he was distracted by a sudden opening of a door, his mom appeared.

"Zee, what's going on with you!", His mom snapped.

"What is it now?", Zee tiredly responded.

"Where's your manner! It's Jennie's mom and dad! They came here to meet you, and you..",

"I didn't ask them and I don't wanna fake with 'em.  Please leave me, I am tired.", Zee trailed.

"Zee how did you ended up like this..", his mom sobbed. "Why are you being like this to me"

"You know my reason, Mom...if you could not grant it, leave my room now.",

"Zee",

"Please leave me mom,  I'm really tired, please."

"Okay, I give up on you. You need to deal with your father from now on..",

"Father? Whether it's he dragged me down the isle, I'll never marry Jennie.", His mom sighed and left the room. Zee dug his head on the pillow.

"Saint, Saint, Saint. Let's ran away.", Zee murmured, tears dropping.

Saint woke up in the middle of the night. He felt so bad as his heart clenched in no reason. He felt as if he wanted to cry and so nervous. His eyes immediately was thrown on his blinking phone. He opened it and only to see a 50 missed calls and 150 text messages from Zee. He immediately stood up not minding he wake the sleeping Joss in the floor. Zee usually flood him with calls and messages if something bad happens, what if.. Dialling Zee's number, he went out to the garden bare, without any warming jacket to protect him from the freezing midnight. He's couldn't keep calm and couldn't feel any cold sensation, he's only focus is the unanwered line on the other side.

"P'Zee..", Saint exclaimed soon as the line was answered.

"Sa...i..nt", Zee's hoarsed voice echoed, Saint released a deep sigh, holding his chest trying to calm down. "Saint.."

"Uh, P'Zee.. you scared me.", Saint replied as the tears he's keeping finally escaped down.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry if I scared you. I just miss you..i want to talk to you", Zee tiredly replied, slowly coughing.

"Why are you sounding like that? Are you sick?", Saint worriedly asked, Zee couldn't help but smile.

"I..feel like I caught a cold.", Zee replied.

"What, why ain't you taking care of yourself", Saint exclaimed, sounding as if he's scolding Zee.

"I wish I am always sick like this..",

"What are you..",

"At least by this you would talk to me..", Zee's voice cracked, Saint sighed biting his lips.

"Please take care of yourself,P. It's not going to be fine if you..",

"Are you really going to let go of me, Saint?", Zee cut Saint.

"What?"

"Are you really letting go of me, Saint?", he repeated making Saint silent for a long time.
