13 - Follow him

"I'm telling you; we should follow him."

Ae and Pond are in their dorm just lazing around. The two doesn't have any classes for the day so they were just staying in their dorm room. They were talking about Can's little situation. More specifically, they were talking about what's going on with Can.

"No, we are not spying on Can." Ae said, standing by his resolve. Pond was having a hard time convincing his friend to agree with his plan. Ae is one stubborn man.

"But come on! Aren't you worried for him? We're just gonna follow him around. See if anyone's bothering him lately."

"That's the problem. We asked him about it but he doesn't wanna talk about it at the moment. We should respect that, and his privacy. Spying on people are creepy, dude."

Ae had a point. If Can wanted to talk about it, he knows that his friends are available whenever he's ready. They should respect his privacy instead of prying in on his business. Pond was still not convinced and said that it's just to help Can and figure out what's wrong.

"Can won't be telling us anytime soon whatever's happening to him. What if he's getting bullied, huh? We could prevent it from getting any worse!" Pond argued.

Ae raised an eyebrow at him. It seems like it's going to take a while for Ae to be convinced. "I seriously doubt that he's getting bullied. If anyone dared to even speak badly about him, he's gonna talk back at them harder."

Can is a tough cookie. He's not someone who backs down easily. He's willing to fight someone double his body size if ever they insult him or his friends. Can might look harmless and a bit of a crackhead but he's one feisty boy.

"But still. He's still human, and still could get hurt. I just want to know if he's okay, you know?" Ae looked at him with unreadable eyes. A stoic expression painted his face and Pond couldn't decipher what the other was thinking.

"Then go talk to him." Ae said before returning his attention back to his phone, scrolling through his news feed. Pond deflated a bit, he thought Ae was gonna agree but guess not.

"Come on~ Aren't you curious too? Just come with me, you don't have to do anything." Pond was bargaining with Ae to come with him.

Why didn't he just go alone? Because he wants to bond with Ae. They've been busy for so long that they haven't hung out.

And because he didn't want to be the only one to get caught if Can sees them.

He went on Ae's bed and kneeled in front of him. Ae just looked at him with a raised eye brow, silently questioning Pond's actions. Pond breathed in, preparing for what he was about to do. He clasped his hand and looked at his friends with big, doe eyes.

"Please~ come with me Ae, it's been so long since we hung out. I just want to hang out with you. Come on, Ae don't be like this. I promise after we see Can, we'll go somewhere you like. Please come with me~"

He begged Ae by acting 'cute' to him, his cheeks slightly blushing pink but he had to swallow his pride if he plans on persuading Ae.

The male, on the other hand, was weirded out, and irritated for obvious reasons. He knew Pond would push him into agreeing but not like this.

In an effort to stop whatever he was witnessing, he just agreed to Pond's request. At least he doesn't get to watch that again. "Alright, alright, I'll come with you! Just stop doing that, it's creeping me out." He shivered a bit.

Pond beamed at what Ae said and immediately jumped out of the bed. He faced away, fixing his stuff but was actually hiding his embarrassment from the male. He can't believe that he did that but he did get what he wanted in the end. He convinced himself that all of that was worth the shame.
