I hate that I love you

"I hope you two aren't going to fuck in the library." Myles and Noah look to find an irritated (N) glaring at them. "Hey. (N)." The tall male ignores Myles and grabs Noah by his hood and yanks him back. "It's not good etiquette to pin your upperclassmen like that." Myles grabs his manga and stands up. He gently slaps (N)'s arm.

"Relax. We're just playing around and he fell." "In the library?" "Yes. In the library." The two males watch Myles's shirt ride up as he stretches. "Well I'm gonna go sleep. Giraffe. I'm trusting you not to kill Noah while I'm gone." (N) chuckles and rolls his eyes. "No promises." Myles hums and bumps (N) with his hip and walks away.

"I'm not giving up." (N) looks at Noah blankly. "You two aren't dating so I'm going to take my chance." "Okay." Noah stands up confused. "Okay? You're not going to fight me?" "Myles is the only one who can decide who he wants to date. But." (N) grips Noah's shoulder tightly and smiles. "If you hurt him I will kill you."

He releases his hold and walks away. Noah holds his shoulder and winces. 'Scary.'

"Hey! I eating that asshole!" Mmm, delicious. Hey!" Noah and Jun watch Myles and (N) steal food from each other. Rose yawns and Sky tucks a strand of hair in her bun. "Children please hurry up. I wanna see if the dress is still available." The group was currently at the mall shopping for the dance.

The women walk into the changing room and Noah looks at Myles. 'Finally, he's alone.' The male was scrolling through a rack of skirts. "Oh, Noah! I need your opinion. Blue or black?" "The black skirt looks great but honestly I think you look good in anything." Myles blushes and nods. "Thanks!" "That skirt's too long. You should get this one."

The two look at (N) who was holding up a black miniskirt. "I'm not wearing that!" "Aww, why not? Your ass would look great in it." "It's too slutty." "Eh. Not really. The outfit you wore last year at the Halloween party was wayyyy sluttier." Myles's face turns red and tries to cover (N)'s mouth. "Shut up!" "Even in the sluttiest outfit you couldn't get laid." "That's because your lanky ass was hovering over me!"

Noah glares at the scene in front of him. He could feel the confidence leave his body as Myles made no attempt to walk away. Instead, the male was leaning into (N). "Guys. The girls are at the counter finishing up. Oh. Myles. A-Are you going to wear...that?" Jun pointed at the miniskirt that Myles had managed to snatch. "No! Absolutely not! I'm going to the counter."

The group leaves the store and walks around for a bit. Suddenly Rose gasps and points at a shop. "A cafe! 50% off for couples." Myles and (N) grin at each other and yell. "50%!" They lock arms and sprint to the cafe. Noah stares in disbelief. "Uh, guys wait up!" Rose throws her arm around the blonde male and laughs. "We'll catch up with them later." "Nice distraction babe. Those two were starting to give me a migraine."

'Well so much for going as a group.' Myles stands alone by the punch bowl. 'Rose and Sky snuck off somewhere. Jun got dragged away by Kat. Noah and (N) are MIA. Man, this blows.' The black male perks up when a pair of footsteps run up to him. Noah stands in front of him smiling. He holds out his hand and Myles takes it.

A slow song plays overhead as the two sway. Myles sighs and smiles gently at the taller male. "I'm sorry Noah." The blonde shakes his head with a small smile. "Don't be. You can't help who you love. I. I just want you to be happy." "But-" "Shh. It's okay Myles. I'll be fine. Go be happy with him." Noah grabs Myles's hand and spins him away.

Myles falls into a hard chest and arms wrap around his waist. "I'm sorry. My friend pushed...me." (N) looks down at the male confused but smiles. "Hey shorty. Falling for me already?" (N) became more confused when the male didn't tease back. "Myles. Woah hey hey. What's wrong? Why are you crying? Was it Noah?! I swear I'll kill him!" Myles shakes and tries to wipe away his tears.

"No, it's not Noah. It's just. I. I." "What Myles? What is it? Please let me help you." Myles choked on a sob and pushed (N) away. "I'm sorry!" "Wait, Myles!" The tall male tried to follow the shorter but the crowd was too big. A hand pulls him out he looks down. "What did you do this time? I've never seen Myles cry before." "Mr Takanabe...I don't know. Can I ask you a question?"

The older man's eyebrows crease with worry and he nods. (N) looked at the man with a heartbroken face filled with concern. "What would you do if you fell in love with your best friend?"
