BUILD
"I think they're dating" Apo's voice echoed from beside him, looking pointedly at Us and Bible, laughing.
Apo's comment about Bible and Us dating stung more than he realized.
Even though Apo didn't know the full story, his offhand remark felt like another blow to Build's already fragile heart. It feels like he keeps putting salt on my bleeding heart.
The idea of Bible and Us being together was a painful thought, and Build couldn't help but jump to conclusions, despite knowing he shouldn't.
"Hey, Build," Apo said, snapping Build out of his thoughts.
"Aren't you sad about it? I mean them, dating?"
Build tried to divert the topic. "Aren't we going to start preparing for the world tour?"
As Apo grumbled and the conversation shifted, Build's thoughts continued to linger on Bible and Us.
He felt a twinge of hope that Bible's feelings for him wouldn't change, but he was also plagued by doubt. His heart ached, and he found himself questioning what to do next.
When P'Pond called for him to practice with Bible, Build tried to focus on the task at hand.
Bible's warm smile when they met in the practice room momentarily eased his worries.
During the skit practice, Build was deeply immersed in his character, allowing himself to fully express Pete's emotions. His performance was raw and intense, leading him to tears.
Bible, who was supposed to be stoic and comforting, surprised everyone by gently wiping away Build's tears.
P'Pond's shout to maintain character brought Build back to reality, but Bible's concerned gaze and tender touch made his heart race.
Bible's playfulness and sincerity added an unexpected layer to their practice.
"Am I not allowed to kiss Pete as Vegas?" Bible's question left Build breathless, his heart fluttering uncontrollably.
The intensity of the moment, combined with the vulnerability he felt, made him gasp and struggle to breathe.
Build managed a whispered "No" and pushed Bible away, trying to maintain the integrity of the skit while grappling with his emotions.
After practice, as they laughed at their swollen eyes in the mirror, Build couldn't help but feel a mix of affection and confusion.
Bible's compliments and the way he looked at Build were enough to make his heart race, despite the fact that Build was still hurting.
"How can you be so cute when your eyes are swollen?" Bible said with a grin, causing Build to blush.
Build covered his face, trying to hide the blush and the butterflies in his stomach.
If Apo has this thing of adding salt to my broken wounded heart, Bible somehow has this thing of breaking them unintentionally but then healing it as well—Making it flatter and beat erratically.
