"Have you fallen in love?"
The guy infront of him ask out of the blue while looking at him with the softest expression he had ever saw. The smile on his lips seems a lot sweeter than the parfait he was currently eating.
"Hmm? Why'd you ask?" Tooru quipped, propping an arm on the table and leaning in his hands. Giving the latter a lop-sided smile.
The other shrugged his shoulders as he says, "Just wondering. I mean, you seemed like the type to always fall in love real quick."
"That's rude!" Tooru complained, which the other replied with a light chuckle. "You think I'm someone who goes out with people every now and then?" he added
"Yes, you are." His companion answers, laughing at the end.
He glared at him, only to receive a boisterous and light-hearted laugh from the other. Tooru ended up watching him laugh infront of him, contented and happy that the other was enjoying this friendly date they had.
"So, have you?" he asked once again, not dropping the said topic.
Tooru smiled, genuine. "Yeah, I did. Recently. To someone I didn't think I'll ever like."
Chase tilted his head on the side as he blink, which was awfully cute in Tooru's point of view. Well, for some reason, this man had always been a cutie in his eyes.
"Really? You did?" Chase exclaimed, clearly shocked by his companions revelation.
"Yeah."
It was the truth.
Though he likes to flirt and mess around, he never really had fallen in love. Much more liking people he dated before. But now, it's kind of different. Even though he doesn't know what love really is, or what it means to actually love someone; he is certain about one thing.
Tooru Mendez had fallen in love with the pretty boy from another school. Named, Chase Javier.
He's not certain on how or why was he is drawn to this guy the second they met when he's cousin, King, introduced them to each other. Although he called him Pretty Boy because of his face, Chase has something more than that.
He's got drawn to him like how the other guys follows him with their eyes. He's drawn to him like how King idolized this man. There's just something in him that it makes IT hard for people to ignore him.
"How about you? Have you?" he asked, returning the question.
Tooru already knows the answer, however he still can't but help feel hurt seeing him blushed by just hearing the question.
"Yeah, you could say that." Chase answered, embarrassed.
"That's youth for you."
"Don't say it like that. And may I remind you, we're the same age."
