"Seto....umm, can I come to the hospital with you?"
I fumble around my fingers as I hesitantly ask him, anxious he might ask the reason why.
Instead, he looks at me weirdly and raises his eyebrows. "Sure, why not?" A huge sigh of relief leaves my body as I relax.
"But, what about your date with Arnold?"
I tense up at the question. Damn, curse my mouth for bragging about my planned romantic over night date with Arnold. Biting my lower lip, I press my lips into a thin line as my eyebrows knit closer.
"He had some urgent matters to handle."
Seto keeps looking at me, a habit of his when he feels skeptical about something but I too had no plan to rattle about what I saw at the alley a few days ago. There was no way I could, especially when I still get goosebumps whenever its image flashes through my mind.
Maybe, I was successful in disguising my anxiousness, or maybe he was just feigning it for my sake but Seto just nods his head and proceeds with his chores.

The phone rang once again, disturbing the once silent atmosphere. And, without even looking I know who it was, Arnold.
Occasionally, exchanging glances with Seto, I smiled awkwardly before he could even question anything. I knew it wasn't not long before Seto will start enquiring me. To make the matter worse, I can't even turn my phone off as it would be as clear as a day that I am avoiding Arnold. The only option was to leave it unattended. I considered keeping it on mute, but if any important calls came, I wouldn't know.
While I know I can't keep running away from the problem nor Arnold himself, a part of me also can't bear to face Arnold right now. However, my phone and Seto had some other plans. As soon as I noticed how Seto's lips parted, I immediately stood up, "I need to take this call." Avoiding his gaze I rush outside the room, struggling to take my phone out of my jacket.
"Hello?" Nervous, I ask through the phone. A sigh was heard before a soft and worried deep voice pierced through my ears, "darling? Is something the matter?"
Without being able to content the surge of guilt that was rising within me, I try to sound as calm as possible, "nothing-
"Then why were you not picking up the phone? If some trouble didn't occur then was it because I did something... to make you upset?"
He wouldn't let me finish my answer, yet bombard me with more questions.
"It's nothing you think of, I suddenly missed my brother and am at the hospital right not. I am sorry, I didn't notice your calls."
Will he buy this lie? But, even now I am more afraid of him being hurt than telling him the truth.
"Can I come visit too?"
There was uncertainty in his voice, "I don't see why not?"
"Great, wait there. I will reach it soon."
As soon as he gets my approval, some rattling and thuds could be heard before the phone finally cuts off.
"Will I be able to face him while hiding the truth?"
♧♧♧♧
The nails of my fingers were getting shorter the time passed by, I couldn't stop biting them as my anxiety rose up. My mind was racing through a lot of thoughts and most of them were all negative.
"Darling, you could've waited inside."
The voice pulled me back to reality as I gazed upon Arnold only to meet my eyes with him. I gulp. "Ahh n-no, I was just giving them privacy." Trying to brush the thoughts away, I reply to whatever comes to my mind first.
"Ptff, why are you nervous?"
His hand slowly reached my cheek and he caressed it, none of us looked away from each other and it was only after the ruckus in the background startled me, I awkwardly looked away.
"Let's go inside?"
Hurriedly, I grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him inside with him, all while I could hear a soft chuckle from behind. He really loves to laugh

Curse me for forgetting I had an ongoing book 💀
