EXCHANGE OF HEARTS [BL]

CHAPTER 20

Atlas is avoiding him for a couple week. When Atlas saw him walking towards, the man immediately leave.

Every time, Race found a way to talk to Atlas, but the man avoided him. After Atlas confessed to him, the man started to avoid him. Atlas seemed embarrassed because of his sudden confession.

Even Race, he can't forget the moment when Atlas shouted that
he likes him. It made him stunned and couldn't talk because of that.

He thinks that the cat got his tongue's out.

He wanted to speak, but can't. Race is very shocked that he forgot all letters in the alphabet.

How can he forget it? It his first time that someone confessed to him-specially a man like Atlas. He doesn't know what to do, his foot is nailed in the ground.

It overwhelms him that Atlas confessed to him. Sometimes, he thinks that Atlas's just making fun at him or maybe Atlas's just pranking him or what. He don't know. He have a second though to believe Atlas or not.

He has so many reasons to not believe at Atlas and his confession.

1. Atlas is handsome and he remembered that he saw Atlas kissing a girl outside a bar, so it is considered that Atlas is still a straight.

2. Atlas is handsome and it is too hard to accept that Atlas likes someone-him. A man. He didn't see Atlas to like him. He is muscular and he likes girls.

3. Atlas hates Lgbt. Race remembered the last time that Atlas took him into the club and when Atlas saw a gay couple making out he shooed it away and his reaction is something like-disgusted. He doesn't like what he saw.

And that's it. The reasons why Atlas is lying or he shouldn't have to believe that man.

He might be lying; making fun of him; pranking him; or he's playing with Race.

Even though Race doubt Atlas and his confession, he still feel the happiness in his body. It's like he won a lotto because of that confession. It makes him happy to hear that Atlas likes him, it awakens the butterflies in his stomach. Sometimes, he prayed that the feeling he felt right now is long lasting because he really like that feeling. It makes him feel alive.

For the first time in his life, he's excited to go to university just to see Atlas and talk to that man to clarify something.

He can't sleep well while his head is playing up with him. His mind always show Atlas and his confession.

He close his eyes again, try to sleep and this time he finally sleep but he saw Atlas in his dream.

They are in a titanic ship. They are away from in each other and they are standing on the deck. Facing each other.

"I told you it's a lie," Atlas smirked.

Race shook his head, he didn't believed at what Atlas's said.

"No. I can see it in your eyes, Atlas. You're telling the truth-"

Atlas bursts out laughing. "Fools!" His laugh echoed.

It's a cold night, everyone is inside the ship. Some is preparing for a fireworks show later and some maybe having fun and it's only them outside.
