Love mechanics FF 2 (Love Again)

Eat Lunch

Vee's POV:

"Well see for yourself what I mean by destroying himself." 

Just what happened? What does this boy want me to do? Guess I'll have to find out but I still had no clue of my situation so I just waited for the other to step out first which he didn't. Instead I had to stare as the other relaxed into his seat while gesturing for me to leave the car, leaving me in more confusion than clarity.

"What about you ?" I asked 

"Oh, I am not going there." The boy said as he closed his eyes, laying his head back on his headrest "I don't want to see him like this anymore" he mumbled but it was audible enough for me to hear. The content of his words is enough to make me want to run out and look for the junior but I had already learnt to not be rash about anything that involves the younger boy.

I sighed; thinking for a while then opened the car door, walked out and inside the building.

"207" I mumble the number of the room as I scroll through the hall of the dormitory, eyeing the numbers written on each door.

"Thanks for coming here." I froze on my path when I heard the familiar voice of the boy I came looking for and soon an unknown figure walked out of the said boy's room.

"See you again?" said the unfamiliar male who seemed to be younger then Mark who peaked his head out of the room nodding with a smile. 

Mark smiled? My eyes went wide at the thought. Right now there are thousands of things wrong with this situation but the only one that my brain decided to register was that smile. It felt right… Just where it is supposed to be, not too forced nor too sad. Just placed perfectly as it should be and all I could do was stare from afar before it disappeared from my vision and my feet had to follow the retreating figure so I can keep seeing those lips curved upward at a beautiful angle and before I knew it I stood in front of the door that was half way shut but still open enough for the other to notice my presence.

I waited for the door to slam shut but that never occured and the wooden barrier was left with a crack still open as the younger man slipped further inside the room, leaving me to stare at the crack and contemplate between going in and waiting for the other out here. I chose to wait but when the other didn't return for 5 more minutes I decided to go inside only to find the other on the couch...drinking and I concluded after looking around at all the cans spread on the floor and table that this was not his first drink and probably not the last one as he had more bottles with him.

"What the hell are you doing?" I never intended for it to come out like this but the shock took over me and made it look like I was scolding the other. Mark seemed like he didn't care though, he seemed bored both my presence and the question as he replied vaguely

"Drinking"

"Exactly why are you drinking this much and more so this early in the day?"

"Not your business"

"I know but this is not right" I said but the other refused to acknowledge my words as he looked away from me and to the blank TV screen before taking another sip of the toxic liquid and the sight was just too painful no wonder James said he didn't want to see it. The smile from earlier was nowhere to be seen and was replaced by dull eyes and a monotone face that  I wondered if it was even real.

"Stop that" I said as I took the bottle out of his hands making the boy stand up and reach out for the poison.

"Give it back" he said and clearly he is not in his sane mind as I can see him daze off but would he accept it if I tell his? no, of course not so instead of saying anything I just walk past his swaying figure and collect the remaining unopened cans of alcohol before he would realize that he can grab a new one instead of snatching the one I had and take them out of the room. I placed the cans next to his door since I can't really throw them away. I just need him sober up and not kill himself.

"Here" I say as I try to hand him a glass of water which he takes while making a sulky face as if I had stole a candy from a kid which in my imagination is too cute so I shrug it off as I am in no situation to be imagining anything.

I sigh, leaving the boy to drink the water while I try and collect all the empty bottles from the room to make it look livable.

'Did he really drink all this?' I question myself as I grab the last can off the table and look at the boy who is sitting on the couch with his legs to his chest and is dozing off, head placed on his knees which is again too cute to look at.

'Snap out of it Vee' My brain scolded me to stop staring at the younger so I broke my gaze away and instead walked to the other and helped him lay down in a comfortable position. Luckily the boy kept sleeping so I won't have to explain why my hands had decided to caress his cheeks or why my body just knelt there and my eyes stayed fixed on the sleeping figure and I definitely won't have to explain why my eyes kept tearing up every 5 minutes for a whole hour that I sat next to the drunk boy because in all honesty there will never be an explanation for any of those actions, they are not in my control anymore.

"Are you sobered up?" I asked as Mark sat up on the couch and stared at me in shock, either he doesn't know why I am here or he wants to know why he let me inside. So I make it easy by standing up from my place on the floor, giving him another glass of water which he miraculously accepts. 

"How long have you been here?" I was about to leave when that question stopped me. So he is aware that he let me in?

"Two hours"

"Mhmm"

Huh what kind of response is that? What am I supposed to do now? should I stay? should I leave? These questions are giving me a headache. I look at the boy in confusion hoping to gain some sort of answer but the other doesn't even seem interested as he sips of the water.

I sigh knowing that I won't get anything like this. I know that leaving is the best option but can I really just leave after coming this far?

"Mark…"

"Hmm?"

"Let go have lunch outside." At least it's a shot worth taking right?

well I am still not sure where this is going but lets just hope it's a good end
