Paper Planes : Chapter Ten

"I LOVE YOU...Maki"

I looked at Maki's silhouette pause for a second. I looked at him getting drenched in the spring rain, panting and waiting for an answer. He walked back to the gate where I could see him now. He opened the gate and stared at me.

"What happened earlier then?" Maki asked and I sighed and looked down. "I saw my parents there" I said and Maki sighed. "What changes now then?" He asked. "I told them about us" I said and Maki stared at me. "And?" He looked at me. "They are trying come terms with it I guess...I am not sure" I said and looked at him.

"And yet you came to me?" He asked and I sighed awkwardly.

Maki walked to me in a hurry and hugged me tightly. I could feel my cheeks burn pink. My eyes filled with tears as I feel glad that he hasn't lost his hope on me yet. I rose my hands and hugged him back. 

Suddenly Maki pushed me away. I looked at him confused and turned to the direction he was staring at. "Mom" Maki awkwardly looked at her. She looked a little weak and had luggage in her hand and a oxygen support along with her. His father stood there holding an umbrella for her.

"Who is this?" She asked with a pleasant smile. "M-My best friend" Maki said stepping a step away from me. "best friend like you and Jo?" His father asked. I took the extra umbrella from Uncle's hand and opened it placing it on him. "No, Like you and Aunt, Uncle" I said and they looked at me surprised.

"I see" His mom said and walked in with a smile ruffling my hair.

Maki and I started walking down the street as the rain stopped. "So...Are we like dating now?" Maki asked. "Hmm, Yeah!" I said and Maki smiled. "One minute stop" Maki said. I stopped and looked at him. He walked closer and pecked on my lips. I looked at him surprised. "What was that for?" I asked him.

"Sealing kiss?" He smiled. "Well" 

"Seal it properly then"

I pulled him closer and placed my lips on his. My mouth opened a little apart, letting him in. I could taste the tenderness in his movement. His hands placed on my chin and his lips softly caressing mine.

We both departed our lips and looked at each other. "Sealed" I said smiling a little and buttoning up his top button on his Shirt.

Maki shyly looked to the side. "By the way, Can I ask you something?"

"yeah" I said and looked at him. "Am I bad at kissing?" He asked and I paused and looked at him confused. "I mean why the hell would you open your eyes when we were kissing at the festival? It would've been a better drama if your parents walked to us and asked me who I was"

I sighed.

"So tell me, Am I bad?"

"Yes"

He pouted and looked at me. "Then why did you go for it now? You were literally devouring my lips--"

*smack*

"Ouch!" 

"Don't run, Come here, I gonna kill you tonight"

Jo POV

"Yuma...Yuma...Yuma..." I slowly breathed out. I am such a bad friend. I should be asking Maki and be there for him now but why the hell am I thinking about Yuma...

I groaned and threw my head back.

Am I being like this after knowing he likes guys...

Or are these my real feelings?

Whatever, I should get some sleep. I pulled the pillow and wrapped it covering my ears and shutting ears tightly and trying to sleep.

*Yuma's smile flashes*

"AHHH! YUMA!!!!"

I started walking to my school drowsy from all that lack of sleep. I fixed a pair of specs on my eyes to not show my dark circles. 

"Yuma please listen to me" I heard someone shout. I turned to my side to look at the voice's origin. I saw Yuma with a girl who was wearing another school's uniform and a guy who looked pretty tall and bulky.

"I am not doing it Emi" Yuma pulled out from her grip. I ran to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. I mean I am not scared of that bulky guy, Fight me if you want, I can defend for Yuma. I looked into his eyes.

"Who are you?" Emi girl glared at me. For her tiny height she sure does love to command a lot. "Me? I am Yuma's Boyfriend" Yuma looked at me judging my existence. "Oh my god!" She sighed. "I am not here you threaten your boy or something. I came to ask him if he was interested in the fashion exhibit. He is not good at studies but his drawing skills are mind blowing" She said and sighed.

"Here, if you are interested do join" She handed me a paper and pulled the bulky guy away from us.

I could feel Yuma glare at me. I awkwardly smiled. "What made you think that I was getting threatened?" Yuma asked. I awkwardly smiled. "I..." He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I might look weak but there is no person born in this world who would scare me or bully me" Yuma said flipping his last bits of hair.

I smiled a little.

"Are you joining?" I asked showing the paper. "Nah"

"Don't let your dreams fall apart, it's yours not your parents" I said and he sighed. "I told you no one can scare me"

"YUMA!!!" Yuma flinched and turned back to see Harua who had been waiting for him. "Oh shit! He is so scary when he is angry" Yuma took his bag and ran towards Harua bidding me a goodbye.

 I chuckled to myself and took the paper with me.

In the class

"Yuma?" I looked at him drawing something. I handed him a grape flavored juice. "Why did you bring grape?" He asked. "I thought you wanted to taste my favorite?" I smiled reminding of the day he flirted with me.

He looked at me with pink cheeks.

"liked it?" I asked and Yuma looked at me. "No, You are bad at flirting" I smiled. "Not that, the juice" Yuma sighed looking down embarrassed.

"A challenge for you" I said sitting down beside him.

"Join the Fashion exhibit, and I'll grant you a wish, you can make me your slave too" I said. Yuma scoffed. I extended my hand wiggling my eyebrows. "You though I would fall for it..." He turned around and swiftly turned back.

"Challenge accepted!!!!"

I slurped the last bit of my juice and smirked.
