Stuck With You

Nunew's POV:

"Boys it's time to go home, don't forget to take ample rest tommorow." P'Aof said as he went outside as the after concert party ended. I see Hia following him outside without even looking for me, my eyebrows instantly furrowed recollecting and thinking if I did something wrong, because Hia never leaves me behind no matter what. This realization made me anxious and I followed Hia immediately.

At the van we usually always sit side by side. It was an unspoken rule which became more prominent after I once sat beside P'Max and Hia got extremely jealous out of nowhere. I quietly sit beside him and try to look at him so that I can talk but he brings out his phone and starts to bury himself in it without barring a single glance at me, this is making me frustrated, so much that I think maybe I should just go and sit with P'Max, I unconsciously look over to where P'Max is sitting when I feel Hia's hard gaze over me, I look through my peripheral view and see those eyes warning me not to do what I'm thinking, I smile a bit at this. I still remember how my heart skipped a beat when I heard Hia whisper to P'Max in a low but frustrated tone " I really don't want him to sit with you. " leaving poor P'Max baffled and betrayed thinking why was he getting scolded. My heart played a whole concert the whole ride that time knowing that Hia got jealous, it's been a long time since then and now we've come a long way crossing out those borders of Phi-Nong. No we didn't tell anyone but we don't hide it either. It's our life so we don't feel any obligation to clarify anything. We know we can't please everyone. I snap out of this thoughts after feeling a warm touch on my thighs, I look at the direction of the warmth and see a familiar hand, the hand that I can recognize even without looking at the face of it's owner, "Hia" I softly utter now looking up to his face, but what I meet with confuses me. It's that stern face again. The face that I saw the I first met him when I joined DMD. "Stay with me tonight" Hia says in low voice his hands still on my thigh while he continues how looking at window "I have many of your clothes you will need them won't you?" . It felt like a pang inside my chest, the excitement I felt when Hia asked me to stay the night faded away, when he clarified the reason, I slightly pursed my lips and then flatly replied "okay I will Hia" . I give up, I just close my eyes and try recollecting all of my happy moments from today's concert..those comfort me a lot, because a small smile forms even without me realizing.

Zee's POV:

Never in my life I thought that a 21 year old guy would have me wrapped around his finger like this. I was barely able to keep up with him during the performance. I have never seen this side of him. Not even after we started dating. It makes me excited and jealous for some reason. Excited for his new demeanor but jealous that I wasn't the 1st and only person to witness it alone all to myself. When P'Aof told us to go I intentionally didn't take him with me because I want him to feel the crisis I'm feeling right now.
I see him trying to talk to me with his doe eyes on me, fearing that I'll give up on my plan at this rate so to save myself from that I start playing with my phone while observing his reactions too, oh he looks annoyed I see 😏, but wait "why the hell is he looking over at Max?" I ask myself and realization hits me and I can feel a burn in my heart I looked at him and I know how I might look right now, I see his eyes lighting up in a small victorious feat. Is this how you wanna play? You still dare to tease me? Fine baby I'll return your favour too then. " stay with me tonight" I try to sound as flat as possible without looking at him because I'm scared I'll expose my excitement if I do. Then I see an expectant smile on his face "Bingo!" I cheer inside and continue " I have many of your clothes you will need them won't you? ", and his smile which I hate to see him like this, and I hate myself for playing mind games like this too but I like it too, I never knew I was this twisted. I'm brought back when he faintly replies "okay I will Hia" and leans down on his seat closing his eyes. "Did I go too far?" I think to myself but I collect myself back from that thought and place my hand on his thigh and start gently squeezing it. Nu jolts at that but doesn't open his eyes, okay so he's playing it cool or atleast he's trying to but his face is giving him away I smirk in victory and wish the van to teleport to my condo already.
