Platonic.
"I'll just sleep on the couch," He said.
"Sa laki mong iyan, sa tingin mo magkakasya ka dyan?" I said sarcastically. "Tabi na tayo, para namang hindi tayo nagtabi nung nag ano tayo."
Lumapit siya sa akin kaya napaurong ko. "What? Tuloy mo," Mapang asar na sabi niya.
Pabiro kong tinulak ang mukha niya palayo sa akin gamit ang palad ko. "Not now, I'm tired. I just want to sleep."
Pumasok ako sa kwarto para kumuha ng maisusuot niya. Kumuha ako ng white sando at saka black short.
"Here. Mauna ka na," Inabot ko rin sa knya ang bagong twalya.
While I waited for him to finish, I took out my phone. Tinignan ko ang day ni Gio sa IG. 'Yung day niya ay 'yung Tiktok namin kanina na nasa kotse. Kaya may iba na pabiro kaming shini-ship sa isa't isa dahil minsan talaga kahit sa maraming tao, nagbibiruan kami na naghahalikan sa pisngi at nagyayakapan. But they know that our friendships are platonic. Of course, our group is known as a jerk and has many girls.
"I'm done," Sabi niya habang nagpupunas ng tuwalya.
His biceps are exposed. Sa totoo lang nakakaiinggit din talaga ang katawan niya, ang laki e. Mukhang inaaraw araw ang gym.
He faked a cough. "I might melt, Esvan," He grinned.
"Melt my ass," Sabi ko at dumiretso sa banyo. Narinig ko pa siyang tumawa na ikinairap ko.
When I finished, I saw him leaning on the bed and wearing glasses again while focusing on the laptop.
"It's late, and you're still working? Masyado ka nang masipag, baka kunin ka na ni Lord niyan?" Sabi ko kahit walang connect.
He chuckled. "Is that so?"
Lumapit ako sa kanya habang nagpupunas ng buhok. Sumandal din ako sa kama at nakisilip sa ginagawa niya.
"What's that?" I asked.
"My business. I just need to finish something," Sabi niya.
A few minutes ago, my hair was already dry, but he still wasn't done with what he was doing. I lay down and decided to sleep, but I remembered that I couldn't sleep without a pillow or something to hug.
Tumingin ako sa isa kong unan na nakapatong sa laptop niya.
"Why?" He asked.
Tinuro ko ang unan. "Hindi ako makakatulog na walang kayakap."
He smirked. "Then hug me."
"Tss," I rolled my eyes. I simply closed my eyes and ignored him, but I still couldn't sleep, so I decided to hug him. He adjusted his position so that I could hug him comfortably.
We're friends naman kaya walang masama. It's a normal thing to do with friends, right? Walang malisya. May tinatawag namang platonic friendship, pero may benefits nga lang.
From now on hindi lang friends with benefits ang mayroon, may platonic with benefits na made by Caius Esvan Norcros.
Natawa na lang ako sa mga kalokohan na nabuo sa isip ko.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked.
"Tsk, wala," Sagot ko.
Later on, he was combing my hair with his fingers, so my eyelids got heavy, and fell asleep completely.
Kinabukasan, nang magising ako, wala na si Raze sa tabi ko pero may nakita akong notes sa lamp kaya agad ko itong kinuha.
"Good morning. I need to go home to change my clothes. And also, I used your kitchen without your permission. Eat well," Basa ako sa notes.
