BL: AIMING FOR YOUR HEART

Special Chapter 5

Amory woke up feeling warm and cozy. Nang imulat niya ang mata, he realized his position.Nakakulong siya sa yakap ni Mico. Amory couldn't help but stare at the face of the sleeping person beside him.

Mico opened his eyes and looked at him seriously. Napailing na lang si Amory at tumayo na sa pagkakahiga. He sat on the edge of the bed.

"Milos Conrad," Amory warned when he felt Mico's hand encircling him from behind for a back hug.

He felt Mico smelling him from the nape and then biting the crook of his neck; narinig niya pa ang pagsipsip nito sa parteng kinagatan.

He immediately got off the bed and, naiinis, na tiningnan ito.

"Stop doing that!"

Hindi siya nito pinansin at bumalik lang ulit sa pagkakahiga at umaktong matutulog ulit.

"Mico, are you gonna continue doing this? Bakit mo ba ito ginagawa? Are you trying to punish me because of what happened that night?"

Hindi ito sumagot. Amory, frustrated, went inside the bathroom at malakas na isinara ang pinto. He stared at his face in the mirror.

He can't lose Mico because of some mistake he made. They've been best friends for almost half his life already. Napakahalaga nitong tao sa kaniya.

He couldn't understand what Mico was trying to do. It's been a long time since that night happened. Amory couldn't build up the courage to talk about it and patch things up with Mico. He also couldn't act like it was nothing and remain how they were.

He felt super guilty, which is why he could only try to avoid him.

Nang makalabas, nasa ganoong posisyon pa rin ito.

"I'm going to go surfing with Anton, are you coming along?" Mico looked at him sleepily.

"No, enjoy. I'm gonna catch some sleep. I didn't get to sleep well last night."

Amory nodded. Kapag nagalit ito mamaya, tatadyakan niya talaga ito sa mukha.

When he went outside, Anton was already there waiting for him.

"Your friend is not coming with you?"

Umiling siya.

Anton's eyes lingered on his neck kaya naconcious siya at napahawak roon.

"What?"

Pinaningkitan siya nito ng mata.

"Friend mo lang ba talaga? Why do you have a hickey?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at chineck ang parte ng leeg na tinitingnan nito gamit ang camera ng phone niya. Ito yung parteng kinagat at sinipsip kanina ni Mico.

"No, it's not like that! Tara na nga." Amory almost stomped his foot in frustration.

Mico, since their teenage days, had been like this. If he's mad, he'll get back at the person who made him angry and do questionable things just to annoy them.

Kapag pinatulan mo ito, he'll just have a reason to get even angrier at you. Or he would treat you like you don't exist.

Ano bang puwede niyang gawin? He doesn't accept his apology.

Amory couldn't fully enjoy surfing in the water, naiisip niya yung moody na naiwan niya sa cabin.

And speaking of him, kaahon lang nila sa tubig nang makita na niya ang naiinip na pigura nito sa may dalampasigan.

"Ang tagal niyo, I'm hungry, let's go eat." Hinatak siya nito, but he stopped him and faced Anton. Bastos talaga ng taong 'to, hindi man lang pinansin ang kasama niya.
