Taming the Blue Skies ( Boy's Love )

06: Backburner

It's just a normal day as usual. Where at the gym for our training. It's Thursday, and I'm fully loaded with my very hectic schedule. Katatapos lang nang training namin and we're fixing our things and the gym of course.

“Ano pala balak niyo bukas?” Vinny asked,

“Shopping daw, sabi ni hetty.” si Zach,

Nasa shower room kami at naglilinis nang malagkit naming katawan dahil sa pawis. Nakahilera kami at nasa kaniya-kaniyang cubicles. Ang ingay nila at nilalaro ‘yung tubig.

One month to go, start na ng UAAP. We've been preparing for it, and hopefully, maging champion this season. Alam ko namang magaling kami pero hindi kami dapat nagpapa kampante lalo na’t maraming magagaling na universities.

Trenton:
Come over. May nanggugulo here!

I received a message from Trent. Kaya after kong magbihis, nagpaalam na ako sa team ko at na-unang umalis. I drove to Trent's condo immediately.

After I entered inside, mukha ni Lavish ang bumungad sa’kin. He looked at me like his questioning why I am here with matching arched brows. Parang ji-nu-judge niya na ‘yung buong pagkatao ko.

“Oh! You're here, couz?” Trent acts like he didn't expect me to be here. “I think God plans this day, it's nice to have you here. Sakto at merong request itong isa ko pang pinsan. I have things to do kasi eh. You know, school purposes.” he said, hindi ko alam kung nang gagago ba ito o ano?!

“Make yourself comfortable here. I just need to do something else right now. Bye!” he said,

We both left there dumbfounded. He left a heavy sigh and looked so disappointed. Bakit? Did I disappoint him? Bakit parang ang sama ko na yata?

“Trent messaged me. And he said, may nanggugulo raw but I didn't know that it was you.” I explained, tinitignan siya.

He just nodded and walked to the kitchen. Sumunod naman ako. He opened the refrigerator and picked the distilled milk. He poured in his glass and drank from it.

“Ano ba ‘yung request mo? I'll do it, as long as I can.” I said willingly,

Tumingin siya sa-akin, he looks fluttered because of it. His shy, isn't it? He looked so cute when he did it. Mas lalo tuloy akong nahuhulog.

“Willing ka bang matusok ng...” he said, “Syringe,” he added,

“Basta ikaw,” I said, a small amount of curve on my lips.

He prepared the essential things he needed for this session. May syringes, cotton balls, and vaccines. I gulped down because of nervousness. Naka-upo ako sa gitna habang pinapanood siya sa pag-aayos niya.

“Don't worry, the vaccines are safe. Hindi ka matitigok diyan.” he assured while putting his surgical gloves.

Nakasuot na siya ng Lab gown niya and his face mask. His pulling the surgical gloves dahil masikip sa kamay niya. And when he pulls it in, agaran siyang tumingin sakin.

“Ready ka na?” he asked,

I nodded unconsciously. Kinakabahan parin, I know naman na it's safe pero kasi, siya na iyan eh! Sinong hindi kakabahan?

“Okay lang ba mag salita?” I asked for permission.

His recording it kasi and I think it's a requirement na need niyang i-pasa. I need the assurance first before doing something, baka kasi umulit kami ng ilang beses mamaya kapag nag-ingay ako.

Inangat niya yung sleeve ng t-shirt ko at saka kumuha ng wet cotton balls. He rubs it softly on my biceps and cleans the area where his going to inject the syringe later. Nakikiliti ako sa ginagawa niya kaya hindi ko ma-iwasang gumalaw.
