Under The Cold Moonlight

Chapter 10- Comfort me

Augustine wakes up, groaning silently at the hard, cold flooring, he takes a couple of seconds to remember that he decided to slept on the floor because last night his bed were occupied by a certain someone and looking back now he thought to himself that he have the option to sleep on the couch.

He blinks his eyes open, the sun's light passing through the thin curtain, the room illuminates a soft glow for his eyes to see the sorrounding.

~Augustine's Pov~

I thought I was imagining things when I felt a slight movement on my back, thinking it was nothing, that is until a arm wrapped around my belly confirming my senses. A rush of heat went to my cheeks...Its Winnie...

"Mmh...Morning Auggie..."

I turn to my back, facing the room's ceiling. I slightly turned my head at the side where Winnie was and as I did my heart almost missed a beat. Winnie's face was exactly right in front of mine. So I quickly turn my face at the other side, good thing Winnie's eyes were closed or else...

Nevermind...

My heart is beating so fast, my face is burning hot and Winnie is just right besides me. I feel like I want to evaporate as soon as possible...I tried to keep go back to sleep but the feeling of hard tiles is just too irritating.

Before I can continue blaming the floor, Winnie suddenly pulled me closer to him.

"Winn-"

Augustine cuts himself off. Both him and Winnie's noses were touching each others then Winnie looks at Augustine with such eyes. He puts a hand on Auggustine's face and out of the blue he just kissed Augustine's cheeks.

"W-what?"

Augustine mumbles stuttering his words, he didn't even have a minute to process Winnie just sit up from the floor and covered his face. Augustine swears that he can see Winnie's flustered face even though he himself is confused.

Winnie face slaps himself in his mind. I thought it was a dream...
He thought while still covering his reddish face from the other person in the room.

Winnie embarrassingly stand up from the floor and ouch he just realize how numb his left arm is yet that doesn't matter as he said to the
brown head that he will be making breakfast.

Suprisingly Augustine manage to disapprove the idea of Winnie cooking since the both know Winnie isn't really the best when it comes to making food (well except his baking, the blonde is actually quite decent at baking). Winnie kept insisting Augustine that he won't messed up, saying that he will just be cooking something simple like fry eggs or bacon and shockingly as it may sounds, Augustine finally lets him cook but if he screw up, he will be facing Augustine's wrath.

~~~

"Ahh-haha I will uhm...make breakfast now!"

Winnie said filled with embarrassment.

"I think its better if you don't..."

"Ah haha...c'mon Auggie! I'm not that bad of a cook."

"Yeah right no"

Augustine said bluntly.

"Please?"

"No."

As soon as he said no Winnie gives him this big puppy eyes expression.

"Fine..."

Winnie suddenly jumps and Augustine rolls his eyes. As the blonde was about to leave he exclaimed that if he ever messed up he will be getting his wrath.

~Winnie's Pov~

"I swear if you-"

"Don't worry I won't!"

I said reassuring him as I swiftly closed the door behind me, making a quick click sound.

I suddenly feel like collapsing at any given moment. My heart was racing when I finally made my way to the kitchen, I turned on the faucet and put my hands at the cold running water. I quickly ran my fingers through my messy hair to try to make myself look a little bit presentable.

W-what?

I can almost hear my heart beating on how silent it is in the morning. As I hold myself together, grabbing the edge of the counter top, closing my eyes shut for a moment and think.

I always admired Auggie ever since we first met, I was even shock that he wanted to be my friend not because of my mother wanted him to but because he wanted to know what kind of person I was. And I do say I underestimated him for that matter... despite him misunderstanding me I felt a sense of relieve to know what and why he suddenly ignored me before everything that happened, I didn't meant to steal everything he was working on, even if I liked the attention of everyone the attention HE was giving me made me feel special for not being someone who's great and all but being just Me.

Yet I don't want his attention nor anything in particular if it just means that he was actually scared of me and maybe not even trusting me. I just want you to know Augustine that I always care for you...

~~~

"Wow you actually didn't burn the food."

"Yep! I've been learning how to cook since I move out."

Augustine looks at the food prepared by Winnie. It didn't look bad from what he expects but its quite greasy to say the least.

"Mmh...I guess its not bad."

Augustine sits down and continued to munch his food as Winnie is.

"Hey Auggie."

"Hm?"

"Comfort me."

Augustine looks at Winnie with a confused look in his face.

"Haha...what I mean-"

Winnie was pulled up into a hug by Augustine. Winnie can feel his body stiffened and eventually returns the hug back to Augustine. He heard the other man saying the lines.

What will I do without you?
