Born to Hate

08

Everyone except the new couple was in the main living room playing some games. "Take that and quickly beat his ass!" Dunk cheered Fourth on. "Oi! Don't let him win! Come on Gemini, you can do it!" Pond pushed Gemini on. Gemini had no intention of winning when he competed with Fourth. He only wanted Fourth to win to make the other happy. "How about this! The winner gets a wish from the loser!" Dunk suggested and oh how did Fourth had a deja vu. "Dunk, didn't I already lose your bet?" Fourth whined and Dunk smirked. "Glad you still remember, i'll use it soon," Gemini was on. He could wish something for Fourth to do. That made me a little too excited. Gemini was all of a sudden concentrated. He picked up suddenly so many buffs and speed boosters. "Gemini is in the lead! Holy sh—" "Gem!" Fourth's and Dunk's voices overlapped one another as Fourth dropped to second place. "No!" Fourth whined as Gemini crossed the finishing line on the last lap. "Dunk! How could you do this to me?" Fourth turned around and rest his head on Dunk's lap and wrapped his arms around his waist. Dunk was laughing at Fourth's misery. Gemini smiled to himself. He had just won something important and useful to him. "Be prepared, Fotfot," Gemini turned to pouting Fourth and had a obvious proud smirk stuck into his face.

"What's with this atmosphere..." Book and Force came back to see majority of his friend laughing and being all happy and Fourth being the only sulking and whiny baby. "Book!" Fourth got up from Dunk and ran into his arms. "Dunk is such a bastard!" Book frowned and Force chuckled. "What happened?" Force asked but Phuwin had no intention of answering when he realised the bright and happy aura around the two 'friends'. "I don't know. All I know is that there seem to be a new couple among us," Phuwin pushed his hair behind his ears and smirked at the sudden change of colour on Book's face. Force had his ever popular small smug. "Huh? Who?" Dunk looked around him, no one seemed to be a couple. "Really, Force?" Joong said with an unimpressed tone. "After how long you suddenly had the gut to confess?" Dunk and Fourth seemed to be the only ones who were surprised and they gasped. "Hold up!" Fourth pushed himself away from Book and looked at the male in front of him. "No way..." Fourth had his mouth open into a small 'o' and Force chuckled. "Little Fot, did you not realise?"

While Fourth and Dunk were trying to recover, Phuwin had a proud smug on his face. "How did you know?" Pond suddenly asked Phuwin who flinched from the sudden low tone he knew he would always melt to. "Uh Force asked me for help earlier so I just lent him a helping hand," Phuwin answered while doing really well in not keeping eye contact with the older male in front of him. If he could admit into Pond's face, he would. He would admit that ever since Phuwin met and saw Pond, he could not ever stop thinking about the male. His visual was overwhelming. His voice was low and it made Phuwin feel things he had never felt. Pond's kind and playful nature got Phuwin all giddy and just wanted to be with him. "Have you not heard? To respect someone, you gotta keep eye contact." Pond used his two fingers to lift Phuwin's chin up. Once Pond had a clear look on Phuwin's face, his heart melted. Phuwin had a slight pink tint on his cheeks and his eyes seemed to be all shiny and sincere. "Ahem..." The romantic vibes around the two was cut off short after Dunk cleared his throat. "I thought there was two new pair of couples..." "Huh what? Oh Dunk! Let's start getting dinner, shall we? It's already evening!" Phuwin tried to change the subject and dragged Dunk along to the kitchen. Pond chuckled at them. "How did you do that?" Pond gasped in surprise and realised it was just Joong. "Huh? What do you mean?" Joong cursed himself under his breath and took a big breath. "I want to know how you got so close to Phuwin and manage to make him feel special..." Joong explained. Pond chuckled at his poor friend. "You know what, if you help me, I'll help you." Pond rest his elbow on Joong's shoulder. Joong then realised how sly and yet amazing Pond is. He smirked. "Sure."

"Do you have feelings for Pond?" Dunk asked Phuwin who was studying the kitchen for any food. "Yeah I kind of do..." Phuwin replied honestly and turned to look at his friend. "But...My parents..." Phuwin's mood dropped and Dunk realised it quickly. "Hey hey...Are your parents in charge of your life or you?" Dunk pats Phuwin's back and rubbed him in a way to comfort and to let Phuwin know he was there for him. Phuwin had a small smile. "Let's head to the nearby supermarket. We don't have any food and ingredients." Phuwin pulled Dunk out of the kitchen. "Where are you guys going?" Fourth asked the two males walking to the door. "Shopping for fresh food." Phuwin replied as he slid his feet into a slipper. "Alright! Have fun!" Fourth smiled and waved them a goodbye. "That guy could at least have helped us," Dunk rolled his eyes and Phuwin chuckled.

Fourth was comfortablely sitting on the couch. Force and Book were in their room enjoying their time together while Pond and Joong seemed to be making a plan but Fourth could not bother. "Yo," Gemini swiftly sat next to Fourth and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Want me to pick you up to bring you to school from now on?" Gemini randomly asked Fourth who snickered. "You're so random, but I don't want to burden you." Fourth said and scrolled through the tv channel to find something for entertainment. "You're never a burden to me, Fot," Gemini leaned his head above Fourth. "In fact, I want to take care of you," Gemini said sincerely. Fourth could tell how serious and honest Gemini was. It made him feel so needed and special. Fourth stared into Gemini's dark orbs and had a slight smile on. Gemini kept his eyes on Fourth's. It was not awkward. In fact, it was so calming for both. They were able to appreciate each other's presence and ability to make each other feel at home. "Fourth, you have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen..." Gemini compliment the younger's eyes, breaking the peaceful silence between them. Fourth slightly blushed, wanting to compliment Gemini back. "Well, you have the most attractive lips." Fourth said. Gemini then smirked. "And do you know what these attractive lips can do?" "What can it do, Gem?"
