HE kept staring and didn't take his eyes off the bulge in my lower body wrapped in the towel covering the lower part of my body.

"Don't tell me..." he started, biting his lip, but I didn't let him finish, quickly turning away.

In my panic, I quickly found our clothes. I immediately put on briefs, shorts, and a black tank top.

I faced him, "Hey, kinky!" I tossed the clothes at him. "Get dressed, let's eat outside!"

"Why outside? Let's just order in," he suggested, then looked at my bed and tapped on the sheets.

"No, who knows what you might do to me. It's too early," I said before rolling my eyes and staring out the window of my room.

"Oh... so maybe tonight?" he said, nodding slowly as I remained silent and stared blankly out the window.

"..."

"Alright, silence means okiedokie!" he said, taking my silence as his advantage.

"What...!? HEY, I didn't say anything!" I protested, glaring at him again. He really knew how to get my attention, damn!

He approached me, not letting me speak further. "Come on, come on, enough of that. Let's eat outside, baby. Let's go! To SM?" He pushed me out of my room.

"Baby?" I asked, my feet involuntarily stepping forward due to his gentle push. Did he think I wouldn't hear that?

"Yes, baby?" he asked, smiling like an idiot.

"My god, if I only knew you were this pervy, I wouldn't have tried to talk back when you first talked to me," I said, moving my shoulder so he couldn't touch me. I walked ahead with arms crossed, taking exaggerated steps and then suddenly turned to face him when I was a bit far.

"Wow, seriously." He messed up his hair and stomped his foot on the floor. "Ugh! It's all my fault!? You're the good one!?" he said, trying to imitate the line of that crazy lady from that famous video meme.

I laughed at his joke, rolling my eyes initially but bursting into loud laughter within seconds. I didn't know why I found his humor so amusing, but he was the only one who could make me laugh like this.

As Leo and I arrived at the SM mall, we headed straight to the food court, eager to satisfy our hunger with some brunch. We settled on some classic comfort foods—Leo opted for a hearty serving of pancakes, which I should have been the one to bake for him, but things turned out differently earlier. Meanwhile, I indulged in a savory plate of eggs benedict. That's always been my comfort food, eggs. Well, his egg is my next comfort, I guess!

After enjoying our meal, we decided to hit the arcade for some fun. Leo was determined to win a stuffed toy for me, but despite his efforts, he couldn't quite snag one. Feeling a bit disappointed, I decided to give it a shot. Much to our surprise, I managed to win a stuffed toy on my first try. In a playful turn of events, I handed the toy to Leo, teasing him with a victorious grin as I became the one to gift him with a stuffed toy.

"I should have been the one giving this to you," he protested, unable to accept the reality.

"Well, what can you do? You can make it up to me in our next life, dear." I tapped his shoulder playfully.

"KTV?" he asked, suddenly distracted by the sound of a guy singing "Magbalik" by Callalily so out of tune.

"Good idea," I replied. I followed him as he walked ahead, but he also pulled me, looping his arm around mine and not letting me be left behind.

So we decided to continue our fun-filled day by heading to a nearby karaoke joint. As we entered the lively KTV lounge, colorful lights danced around the room, filling the air with excitement. Leo and I eagerly browsed through the song selections, excited to belt out our favorite tunes. Hey, you're not going to sing like that!

As the music started playing, we took turns serenading each other with our chosen songs, laughing and cheering each other on as we sang our hearts out.

After our KTV session, we decided to explore the arcade corner even more. As we entered, Leo's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the games waiting for us. We started off with a thrilling zombie shooting game, blasting away hordes of undead with our virtual weapons. It was frustrating because I couldn't kill any, he was always the one left alive.

Leo's competitive spirit kicked in even more as we moved on to a fishing game, each of us trying to reel in the biggest catch. He really acted like he was catching real fish, so invested! Fisherman huh? If I grab his Nemo, he will be worse than an electrocuted fish you see.

Then, we took to the virtual dance floor with a round of Just Dance, busting out our best moves to the rhythm of the music. This time, it was my turn to shine. Of course, I'm more decent at dancing. His moves are like those of Adonis guys. Ha ha ha!

Feeling the adrenaline pumping, we turned our attention to the basketball hoops, challenging each other to see who could sink the most shots. We're both good shooters, not bad. Even though the hoop was moving and chaotic, we still managed to sink the balls.

But the highlight of our arcade moments was the strength-testing hammer game. You could really see Leo's determination as he swung the hammer with all his might, earning a pile of tickets with each powerful strike. With his winnings, he eagerly approached the prize counter, hoping to exchange them for stuffed toys. However, his request was politely declined, leaving him with snacks and chocolates instead. Despite the setback, we laughed it off and enjoyed the rest of our time at the arcade using the remaining tokens.

"He insisted too much. It's okay..." I told him as his nose nearly touched the ground due to extreme sadness.

"I really wanted to give you a stuffed toy," he said, looking at the chocolates and snacks he was hugging with dismay.

"It's okay, I said it's fine," I replied, raising and showing him the stuffed toy dog I won for him.

He handed me the food and I gave him the stuffed toy dog.

"So, are we going home now?" he asked as we were leaving Tom's World.

"Wait, are you gonna sleep at our home?" I paused in my steps and looked at him.

"Is it not allowed?" he asked, a hint of confusion in his reaction.

"It's okay," I said and started walking again. "But I've run out of groceries, care to join me downstairs? Let's buy some at SaveMore?"

"Sure! Let's go, and I'll buy something too," he said, and we were on the escalator where many people were going up and down.

"What are you gonna buy?" I asked.

"Condom."

"Asshole, watch your mouth!" I lightly slapped his lips.

"What's wrong?" he said without lowering his voice. "I'm gonna buy lubricant too!"

"Hey, shh! Someone might hear you! You never stop, do you? Why would you buy that? Who said we're gonna do that tonight?" I whispered to him as I pinched him while we were on the escalator.

"Just kidding, can't you take a joke?"

"Hmm!" I walked ahead, and he followed, trying to match my pace or keep up with me.
