꧁༺ HEM TO HEM ༻꧂

"I don't like this outcome"

Gene  mumbled in his usual low voice. Seeing himself in the mirror makes him uneasy, especially when he sees Liam's jacket wrapping his body. 

 
When he went outside, Lornz and Jason were simply giggling, seeing how Liam's jacket was comforting Gene's body. Liam was, of course, his defender, who hit them both on the head for teasing Genlocke.

 
"Actually, I don't really mind if..."

 
"Shhh!"

Liam stopped him from saying his next words.

"Don't listen to them, suit yourself. I don't want to worry," he added.

 
Now, the surroundings suddenly went quiet, and then Kyller broke the silence.

 
"Let's go now; it's almost class time.

 
"See you around," Jason said, and they went to their respective destinations.

 
"Hey, my next course will be one of my majors, so I won't be able to join you in your next class"

Kyller told Genlocke about his schedule.

 
"It's okay, but thank you for everything."

 
"No problem, just approach me if you need something. I'll be there!"
Kyller gave him his usual shiny face.

 
When Gene went inside the classroom, he met all the stares of his classmates. It seemed like something was wrong with how they saw him.

 
"Isn't that Liam's jacket?"

"I swear, I saw him wearing that today."

"Maybe they have the same one?"
 

He heard them talking about the jacket he's wearing. Gene felt uncomfortable with how it turned out. He tried to conceal his true emotions, but it all stopped when a girl approached him.
 
"Oh my god! You're the transferee?" asked the girl.
There were three of them; they seemed popular judging by how the people reacted to their presence.
 

"Oh no! This is fun," someone mumbled.

 
"Are you friends with Liam?"
She asked. Gene felt uneasy about the sudden interrogation.

 
"No" he answered directly.

 
"I saw them earlier, they looked like they were close friends," one girl said.

 
"Well, I just met them today," Gene honestly stated.

 
"But, isn't that his jacket?" She pointed out the jacket he's wearing. Gene looked at it and sighed.
 

"Yeah, he let me borrow it since..."

 
"Can I borrow it instead?" The girl stopped him and opened her palm as if asking Gene to give it to her.

 
"She's really territorial."

"Were the rumors true about them?"

"Poor guy, she's not letting anyone use his boyfriend's stuff, not even a guy"

 
"Boyfriend?"
Gene said in his mind. After hearing it, he immediately unwrapped the jacket and gave it to her.

"Here, I'm sorry," he said.
