About Brad and his new Friends

Brad was suddenly bombarded with enthusiasts. Not that he's declining though, the training changed his perspectives, locking his inner insides and bringing out nothing but a doll of expectations.

"So what's up with Noah, general?" Liam asked with everyone joining in, even Clara.

"Please call me Brad. And Noah..." Brad pondered in thought for a moment.

"What about Noah?" Brad asked innocently.

"Come on we all know there's something going on here, we all saw the way you grin at him, if I'm not in a relationship with Andrea, I might have fallen for you. No homo though" Zac added excitedly earning a stern gaze from Andrea.

"Hey, you pursued me, for all I know I can end it all" Andrea added pouting.

"No! please no! I was just joking!" Zac begged Andrea, earning a giggle from Brad.

"I don't really know what to feel about Noah..." Brad said defeated.

"We'll explain what you exactly feel, little detail helps" Carla joined in.

"Well let me think... Noah makes me feel happy, some sort of excitement whenever I see him, the sudden urge to rush at him and weirdly enough hug him. Even right now I'm dreading to go near him and just be with him" Brad's eyes landed on Noah who seemed to be talking to James.

"And well, ever since receiving the general training, the officials worked me hell, day and night and bring me to weird labs which they bring 'special' units. They ruined our emotions and made us not feel anything. But with Noah, his smile immediately saved me, ever since training, I've been having trouble understanding my feelings. I'm in my second year of my military service too, just one step behind you guys but it seemed like the bond you have with him and altogether are what encouraged me to try to talk to him. Until I noticed he skipped training, I searched throughout the entire camp and went to the bathroom where I hear a sob saying 'I want to go home many times. I immediately knew who owns that voice and it irked me seeing him in such a state, who would make him sad? But then I realized it was no one but this sudden force of separation from his parents, his education, his everything. They took everything from him by bringing him here. I placed my back on the door where his stall is and talked to him a little, I forgot anything about comforting, but I tried my best, writing on a paper that he can talk to me anytime he wants. Just talk to me, and folded it in a paper ring and left. Later on, I see him go out of the bathroom and he apologized to me. I let it slip and gave him a warning. But as I was going to ask about the paper ring, I accidentally blurted out his name, but it seemed like he didn't hear me." Brad's gaze dropped down low.

"You mean 'The' paper ring!?" Out of nowhere, Kate joined in and scrolled through her phone.

"This! Paper ring? The one that Noah's wearing!?" Kate said in shock showing her viewers.

"That is indeed the ring, though why are you recording?"

"Holy shit" Taylor exclaimed,

"Dude, Noah's wearing that like his life depends on it! He's even afraid of denting it" This statement lit up Brad's face.

"R-Really?" a stuttering Brad is a rare thing to see and Kate's glad she has it on live.

"Kate turn that off! You're spilling Brad's secrets!" Taylor said.

"How bout no? anyways, there's another thing written on the paper right? What is it?" Kate pushed through. Brad blushed and seem to look away but with the surrounding groups gaze's pressured him into spilling his secrets like a little girl. This time, the crowd grew except for Noah and James who seemed to be busy talking.

"Alright alright, I asked one of his friends over there" Brad directed to James,

"I asked what Noah likes to do, despite singing, I can't sing because of my voice, and then he suggested to dance. He said Noah likes to dance in his free time and so that's what I wrote" Brad is now a blushing mess with the support of everyone, felt a little cupid's arrow within their hearts.

"A-anyways, ehem" Brad composed himself

"Isn't there anything you all want to do?" Brad asked

"We want to make the night special, how about this" Taylor bought in the group in one huge haul and whispered in discrete. Brad's eyes widened in... happiness?

"But I don't know how" Brad asked in concern.

"I'll teach you the minor steps" Andrea and Carla said in unison. This will be fun.

"Also Kate, turn that damn thing off" echoed Taylor earning a heartfelt laugh from everyone.
