Fools! [BL]

Chapter 7

Timothy Yang

The only fun memories I could remember when I was young is when I am with Rael.

We both lived in the same neighbourhood and our house were next to each other. It's only natural that we become the closest friends.

In my eyes, I see him completely the opposite of what he thinks about himself.

He used to tell me that I was amazing for being almost good at everything. But...

The reason why I am always doing my best is because I want him to be proud of me. To compliment me. To look at me with such eyes full of admiration.

Because I like him.

"Azrael is really good at any sports, huh."

"Hahaha did you see his abs when he took off his shirt the other day during PE class? Man! It was so unexpected and the girls were all screaming."

"Did you know about that, Timo? Does he work out?"

I didn't answer her question, instead, I got up and leave them behind the classroom.

"Man, atleast answer us before you leave!"

It made me upset when I realised that there's a lot of people who likes him. He used to complain that I'm more popular than him and it annoys me. He doesn't know anything.

The only thing that matters to me the most is Rael. I didn't really care about my grades, the popularity I get, and the people who wanted to make friends with me. I only want him.

In order to do that, I tried to be in the spotlight. I made sure that no one will ever look at him again. I purposely made him my shadow and let him walk behind me all the time.

But of course, everything will eventually come to an end. I've reached the point were I couldn't hide my feelings to him any longer.

I thought I hid it well.

But it was over for me.

The look he gave me that day were both disgust and confusion. I just knew because there's no way he'll accept the fact that the guy he considered a friend were lusting over him. That thought of that made my heart broke into a lot of pieces and the only thing that I could think to save myself from the embarrassment is to run.

That's why... all these past eight years...

I...

"Good morning." naputol ang pagbabalik-nakaraan ko nang marinig ko yung boses ni Rael. He's looking up at me while still hugging me. We're still both half-naked that's why I could feel his hot body rubbing against me.

Hindi agad ako umimik at tahimik kong pinagmasdan yung mukha niya.

"You're pretty." I suddenly blurted out.

I saw his cheeks turn red and he quickly took off his hands around me. "Gago ka ba?!" he quickly turn around and pulls the blanket up to hide his face.

I let out a soft chuckle and hug him from behind.

He's too cute.

"Come on, don't turn your back on me. Let me see you."

Nag isip ako ng pwedeng sabihin para kunin yung atensyon niya at may naalala ako bigla.

"Why were trying to run away from me yesterday?"
