Babysitting the Campus Jerk (On Semi-Hiatus)

BCJ 19 • stranded

a/n: hi! for those of you who are confused as to whose POV it is, just to clarify, Chapters 1-15 is Kao's. Right after those chapters are Pete's including all the flashbacks. ^_~

"Pete!" Kao squealed as Pete scooped him up before jumping into the pool. "I don't know how to swim!"

Pete laughed as Kao clung unto him as if his entire life depended on Pete's shoulders. "Seriously? At your age?"

Kao immediately smacked Pete on the arm, making the latter laughed even more.

"Thank you for this trip, Pete."

"Well, I gotta thank you for saying yes to this trip," Pete responded before waddling into the shallow part of the pool. He initially planned to spend the weekend with Kao at his unit but he figured Kao might like to celebrate their graduation so he booked tickets to an island resort.

"Words won't suffice though," Pete grinned as a naughty thought crept into his mind.

"Pete, I don't like the kind of smile you're giving me."

Kao attempted to move away from Pete but Pete just effortlessly trapped him against the pool wall.

"Well, we could you know, make out," Pete whispered as he snaked his arm around Kao's waist and pulled him closer.

"Are you crazy?! In the broad daylight?!"

"Well, this is an exclusive villa. No one's gonna see us," Pete said calmly but he could already feel his cheeks burning as his body made contact with Kao's.

And before Kao could even utter a word, he closed the gap between them and placed a quick kiss on Kao's lips.

"Are you sure no one's gonna see us here?" Kao whispered back, his ears and cheeks bright red as he scanned the whole place.

"And why would I let others see you in this state? No one's allowed to see you this way, Kao. No one," Pete replied as he grabbed Kao's cheek and pulled him even closer. "So are we good?"

Kao hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded.

Pete forehead creased as he watched Kao pace back and forth in the lobby of the airport where they had an emergency landing. One of the engines of the plane had some problems so they had to land on the nearest airport. Luckily, everything was under control and no one got hurt.

Kao's terrified face as he firmly grabbed Pete's hand was still vivid in his mind.

"Kao, will you please sit down?" he snapped at Kao as he could sense him getting even more anxious as time went by.

Kao just scowled at him but headed his words and took a seat just an arm's distance from Pete.

"What are you so worried about? We're gonna be home in no time, okay?"

"Be home?!" Kao snapped at him. "Our aircraft got into some problems and we don't even know if they're gonna fix that in no time."

Pete stayed silent as he could since how irritated Kao was.

"Let's just wait for the announcement. They might transfer us to another plane."

Kao just scowled at him before slacking on his seat.

Pete just decided not to disturb Kao and waited for the announcement which then later on came but to Kao's dismay, they had to stay on the island for the night as they couldn't be transferred to another plane and a storm was approaching.
