"Come on. I'll walk you home" Zee tells Nunew.

"Really? You'll walk me home?" Nunew said as they started to walk

"Yeah, is that too surprising for you?" Zee chuckles

"No, i meant you never really offered before no matter how late it gets. So I was just surprised" Nunew said to him

"Well I need to guard the superstar dont I?" Zee joked

"Hia." Nunew gave him a warning tone

"Im just joking." Zee ruffles Nunew's hair
"Im sorry for not offering before. I guess I just assumed that you're used to walk alone anyway" Zee said

"Dont tell me you changed your mind just because im famous?" Nunew stopped and looked at him

Zee shakes his head and chuckled
"No actually. Its because I saw Net take you home last week" Zee confessed

"P'Net? Last week?" Nunew said as he tries to recall what Zee was saying.
"Oh you mean last saturday?" Nunew asked

"Yep, I saw him giving you a lift." Zee tells him as they continued walking.

"You saw him giving me lift home so you got jealous and decided that you will walk me home today, is that correct?" Nunew smiled as he asks Zee.

Zee got flustered again.
"Uhmmm.. No. I wasnt jealous at all. I was just curious as to where you live thats all." Zee defended his ego.

"Aaaaaah, just curious" Nunew smiles at him.

"But why didnt you invite me at your house before?" Zee said

"Well because I was shy. I thought you would either say no or be awkward about it." Nunew said

"Why would I though?" Zee stopped and looked at him.

"Because i thought you are just not interested." Nunew said

But I am interested. Interested in you Zee thought as he looks away. He then felt Nunew hold his hand and laced his fingers into his.

"Would you mind if I hold your hand? It just keeps mine warm" Nunew said to him as he pulls him to walk again.

"Lets go. It's getting chilly" Nunew said to him.

Zee was silent, not because he doesnt like it but because his heart is beating twice as fast.

"I like it when you hold my hand" He hears Nunew say.
"It makes feel all warm and fuzzy"

Zee looked at Nunew and he saw him facing forward with a blush and a small smile. Zee bit a smile back and gave his hand a squeeze.

"That's new. People always say Im cold" Zee said

"That's because they dont know you yet. You look cold and bored but deep inside you're like a cup of hot chocolate. Warm and sweet" Nunew smiles at hin as Zee laugh at the comparison

"Hia. I have a question" Nunew asked as they walk

"Yeah?"

"Do I make you happy?" Nunew said to him

"You do. To be honest, you really do make me very happy" Zee said

"Then can I stay by your side longer?" Nunew asked as he looks at Zee.

"Ofcourse. Why cant you? You're my friend" Zee tells him

"Friend"
That's not what I meant Nunew thought

Nu sighed and stopped walking.

"So here we are. This is my house" Nunew said

"Aha. Not so far after all." Zee said as he lets go of his han.
I thought it would be longer Zee thought in his head disappointingly
