Copter's POV


"Are you tired?"

He open the car door and let me embark before he placed a warm blanket around me..

"I enjoyed the night.."

"It's hectic.."

"It is.."

Junior then closed the door and paced his way to the driver's seat..

"Want to buy something before going home?"

"Nothing specific.."

He's really attentive..

I decided to separate from the group and let him send me home so we can, somehow, talk?

"What's wrong?"

I know I can't keep it from him for this long..

"They're kinda rude to you.."

I murmured but he just turned to me showing an amused smile..

"Hey.. You know I don't mind, right?"

I know.. But..

"But you're not doing anything wrong.."

"It's fine.. It doesn't matter to me.."

I matters.

"It doesn't feels right.."

"It doesn't have to.. As long as I'm with you. As long as it's with you, nothing matters more."

"Jun.."

"Their disapproval to my existence is only a part of the whole.. Well.. I'm here for you.. I'm here patiently and will continue being with you.. Because now that you're here with me.. I can't help but just be happy everyday if I were to compare to those years where I can only stare at you from a distance.."

He extended his hand to reach for my seatbelt and secured it..

"Don't be sad.. or feel bad.. Ter.. Please know I'm already thankful being with you.. and whatever they say, is the least thing I can think of.."

I then felt a tap on my nose as he giggled..

"Wanna sip some hot chocolate? Let's just forget about that.. You made the night extra handsome for me.."

Geez~ In the end.. He still thinks of me.. and I can only nod feeling a little better..

To be honest, my love for my friends were not lessened and will never be.. but with Junior being around to assure my restless mind, cast my insecurities, and give a place to my lost thoughts.. I feel, grateful of whatever mess I'm living now.

I'm less scared.. Less worrying.. Less feeling tied.. Though.. I can't remember a time I really did something for him..

Not even once. So maybe..

He was about to start the engine when I grasped his sleeve.. His eyes were immediately darted to me with concern..

"What's wrong? Want to eat something?"

"Uhm.. I just wanna say--"

"What is it?"

"Junior I'm really thankful.. For.. everything.. For every little thing you do and give to me.."

A smile then extended to his face..

"--And.."

"And?"

"I don't know how to say this properly.. But.. Can you.."

He stared at me with tenderness as I fidgeted when I remember the weight of my words for him..

But.. I have to let him know.. I want him to know.. at least.. that..

"Can you.. Wait for me??.."

I offered a smile as I saw his eyes turned teary..

"Wait for me.. All I need is time for now.. And once everything is better.. I'll give you my answer.."

I took his hand only to realize they're shaking..

"Jun.. you make me so happy everyday.. Everyday since I met you.."
