A Love So Playful

VII- Something Special

"I-" Kendrick said but was interrupted as the door opened.

"Nero!!!" Skyler shouts as he runs towards the sitting man and place both is hands on his shoulders. "Are you okay???" Skyler shouted with a loud but worried voice. Nero then saw Kendrick leaving the room without a word. He sees him grip the door frame and looks back at Nero one last time and then turns his head to leave the room. Nero was devastated. "Hey? I asked if you're o-"
Skyler repeated his question only to be interrupted by Nero. "No!!! Everything is not okay!!!" Nero shouted as tears start to come out from his eyes.

"Why??? Did you break a bone?" Skyler worriedly asked "No! It's not that! I'm so fucking stupid!!!" Nero shouted as he gripped his best friend with a tight hug. "What are you talking about!?!" Skyler asked in a sharp but confused tone.

"How could I be so stupid, how can I let my emotions get the best of me! Kendrick is my friend but my mind keeps bothering me with thoughts that might potentially ruin our friendship! I don't think Its adoration anymore! I think I'm hopelessly falling inlove" Nero shouted as he continued to cry in Skyler's arms.

"Aww cheer up dude, its normal to fall inlov-" Skyler stated but Nero cut him off "No!!! I vowed I would never love, never again! Ever since that incident with James! I couldn't bring my self to love again after the pain I felt! Now, I'm hopelessly inlove to a man who I don't even know what his gender is! I keep thinking of things friends shouldn't think about each other! That's what we are! FRIENDS! Nothing more! But my heart feels like it wants more! I even reached the point to think if he likes me to! How delusional of me!" Nero shouted angrily as he cried.

"Buddy, don't get a worked up, you're not stupid, You just need time to process your emotions. Yes its true that you're delusional but who isn't? You just need time to think of a way to not let your emotions get the best of you" Skyler stated

"You're right... I should be more mature and start controlling my emotions. Thanks Skyler" Nero said with a warm tone and hugs Skyler.
"You're welcome Nero, that's what friends are for" Skyler stated as he hugged the crying man back.

It was 4:08pm, Nero left the clinic to go to their room to grab his stuff and head on to the computer lab. But when he arrived in the room, he saw a familiar face.

"Kendrick?" Nero said in confusion

"Nero?" Kendrick replied back

Kendrick noticed that Nero's eyes are very wet and he knew that Nero cried and it got him worried.

"Nero? Is there something wrong?" Kendrick asked as he walk towards Nero quickly.

"Yeah, everything, uh, fine" Nero said as he mumbled. "Oh uh okay" Kendrick said "I just went up to get my stuff" Nero stated. Nero immediately ran to his chair to get his stuff without looking at Kendrick and immediately walked back outside, but as he was about to exit the door, his arm was pulled and a shout shocked him, "Wait!!!" Kendrick shouts as he pulls the brown haired man back into the room.

Nero, all nervous and terrified, faced Kendrick and saw Kendrick with a smile. "Don't you wanna know the answer to your question earlier?" Nero was shocked as Kendrick says those words. Nero was left speechless as he stared right into Kendrick's eyes
while the black haired man stared back.

"The reason I was so nice and close to you was because, I had a thing for you" Kendrick said as his cheeks turned pink. Nero was shocked and froze. "What???" Nero softly mumbled

Is he for real!? Am I going deaf or did I hear him say he has a thing for me?!?

"Yeah I have a little feelings for you,
The time that I met your eyes, I felt like I could stare at it forever, You were so bold, daring, cute and smart, I was turned on. I never seen a guy as fierce as you! You're also very nice and I admire you so much! I want to be with you for as long as I could! I will never get sick of your charms as you make me feel like I'm floating in space" Kendrick said as he gives a warm hug.
