Chapter 2

          

               'Today I lost to you again
               I let you win' (MY HEART)

"No way!" Suddenly it burst out of Tin as he slumped back again. The thoughtful expression in his face gone. Seems like he wasn't thinking at all."I know you won't go! You said it yourself! She's too good for you right!?"

"Then Why don't you go! Don't leave her hanging! She must be waiting!" Without a second thought,Gun shot back not letting Tin win on him

"I don't want to!" Tin let out the brattiest voice he could make. Immediately folded his arms and shut down his eyes as he made himself comfortable in the couch. Gun snorted when he saw Tin completely ignoring his pleas. He really doesn't listen to him does he?

"You're such a jerk! A dumb bastard! Moron!" Gun impatiently shouted eying the clock. Whatever makes Tin annoyed and fire up. The young lady must be waiting for a long time already. Gun had to get him up and put him in action

"I was wrong to put in so much effort for an ungrateful friend like you. My heart aches for the poor lady. But it aches more for myself. Tin! You hear me? You've greatly hurt me and my reputation. The young lady must think I'm a quack!"

If Tin hadn't opened his eyes to look at Gun's face, his tone alone would've convinced him that he was shedding tears but he had his eyes open and knew that face that had no tears, but the tone still made Tin's heart ache. It was clearly expressed as Tin's face creased a bit as his eyes softened

Hehe. He's feeling it. Gun sneakily thought in his mind. He smirked cheekily in his thoughts. No that he could do it in real. His whole facade will be broken

"Gun...." Tin sounded somewhat guilty as his voice trailed off as softly as a whisper. Somehow worried. "I'm sorry. I-"

"Think about it Tin! She's from such a prestigious family. If she spreads the word that I scammed her, my whole image will be ruined. If that happens I will not work with you any more. How can someone like me stay by your side-"

"Okay!Okay I'll go! I'll go okay! No need to think to such extents okay!" Tin stood up completely in dismay. He couldn't hear Gun talk any longer. It made him feel extremely unsettled.

Gun although still in his pitiful act let out a slight smirk secretly. He got up and neared Tin who was now in somewhat mess. His uniform pulled out and lousy. He couldn't help but chuckle as he helped him fix it all back.

"It's good you want to go Tin. You're such a good boy. I know you'll love this lady. And don't worry if you're thinking she might think of you as lousy. I already informed her telling her that the date is a bit delayed into the night" Gun's smile was now widely visible in his mouth. His lips perked up at each end celebrating his perfect victory

At Gun's words Tin hit the realization. His eyes briefly widened and he groaned out a word "You had it planned already didn't you!?" He let out a whiny sound and rested his head on his best friends shoulder. Tin's pout did not fade even as Gun caressed the back of his head obviously fixing his hair. As his hands caressed the softness of his hair, Tin felt extremely comforted. He wanted to lay down here and wanted to sleep.

However, Gun had no intention to let him enjoy the short span of comfort he provided to him. He held firmly onto Tin's both hands and pushed him away as his starry eyes looked deep into Tin's hazel brown eyes. "When you return I bet you'll hug me tighter thanking me for such a wonderful date" Gun smiled bright. It nearly blinded Tin
