His Gentle Werewolf [BxB] ✓

KABANATA 4

Ethan ended up sleeping on the other room. The room was almost identical with Alpas' and the only difference is that it's empty. It only has a bed, cabinet, and a beside table.

Ethan has no problem with the room but he is craving for a close contact with Alpas.

After sleeping for only two hours, he woke up, feeling his dry throat. He decided to grab a glass of water.

Tumayo siya at binuksan ang kaniyang pinto. Napatingin siya sa kaniyang kanan at nabigla nang makita niyang bumukas din ang pintuan ni Alpas.

“Bakit gising ka pa?” tanong ni Ethan habang tinitignan niya ang mukha ni Alpas.

Alpas blushed when he heard the hoarse voice of the other male and he looked up to meet Ethan's eyes.

“School related stuff.” He lied. He was searching things on the internet about the werewolves and he didn't notice the time. He knew that the information about the werewolves on the internet were not real but he still got hooked.

Ethan frowned and Alpas didn't notice. They both went to the kitchen.

Tinignan ni Ethan si Alpas. “Bakit nagtitimpla ka pa ng kape? Matulog ka na.”

“Pagkatapos ng ginagawa ko.” sabi ni Alpas.

“Can I help you with anything?” Ethan asked.

Alpas looked at him and smiled guiltily. Sa totoo lang, sa kaka-research niya tungkol sa mga werewolves, nakalimutan niya na may ipapasa pa pala siya bukas sa paaralan.

“It's okay. Matulog ka na lang ulit. Mabilis lang 'to.” sabi ni Alpas.

“Right,” sabi ni Ethan na para bang may naalala siya. He continued, “pwedeng hiramin ang phone mo?”

“Anong gagawin mo?” kalmadong tanong ni Alpas at humigop siya sa kaniyang bagong timplang kape.

“I'm searching for a cheap apartment. Need na naming umalis sa dormitory bukas.” sabi ni Ethan.

“Oh.” It dawned on him, isa si Ethan sa mga boarding students. Then he asked, “May pera ka pa?”

“Meron pa naman at susubukan kong maghanap ng summer job.” sabi ni Ethan at uminom ng tubig.

“You can...” Alpas stopped what he was about to say and his face flushed red.

“Baliw na ba ako? Why do I want him to stay here? What kind of behavior is this!” Alpas thought to himself.

Ethan was amused with Alpas' expression. He is suddenly curious what's going on inside the other male's head. He can't help but raise his right hand to pinch Alpas' chin and he slowly lifted his head to meet his gaze.

“I can what, Al?” Ethan muttered with his low voice. “Hmm?”

Alpas was to lost in Ethan's beautiful dark eyes. They are as dark as his wolf's fur. Before even thinking, his mouth moved first.

“Y-you can just stay here.”

Ethan was stunned at first but after a second, he flashed a mischievous smile.

“Are you inviting me to live with you?” Ethan asked, his voice was laced with teasing.

Alpas was so embarrassed and his first instinct was to go back to his room. But Ethan didn't allow him, he took a hold of his hand and turned him back to him.

“Anong oras ka pupunta sa school bukas?” Ethan asked innocently.

“... 7:30.” Alpas said.

Ethan smiled and said, “Okay, sabay na tayo. Kailangan kong kunin mga gamit ko sa dormitory.”
