"Kakashi?" My voice was barely a whisper, but it felt louder in the stillness of the night.
Nakasandal pa rin ako sa kung kaninong kotse, habang nakatutok ang mga mata ko sa kanya — he was just about a meter away from me.
I'm not gay... right?
"Anong ginagawa mo rito?" tanong niya, nanatili sa puwesto niya, hindi gumagalaw.
No...
I can't be gay.
I've liked girls my entire life, for God's sake. I liked the way they taste. I enjoyed fucking them.
I took a sharp breath, ready to speak. "I should be asking you that question."
He stayed silent.
"What are you doing here, huh?" tanong ko, ramdam ko na namang bumabalik ang lason sa dila ko. The anger, disappointment... jea— pain that I thought I had pushed aside came crashing back.
I saw him bite his lower lip. His right hand rubbed his left elbow in a way that felt almost uncertain. "Rinig na rinig kaya 'yang pagdadabog mo. Tss, pati ba naman pagka-magalitin mo, dinala mo rito sa Ac–"
"Go back," I cut him off. "You should go back and dance with her all you want!"
I clenched my jaw, fists tightening at my sides, trying to hold back the urge to make another scene… especially in front of Kakashi.
Wala siyang sinabi. Nagkatitigan lang kami, ramdam ang bigat ng katahimikan sa pagitan namin. Nagtangka siyang maglakad palapit, pero bago pa man siya makalapit nang tuluyan, pinigilan ko siya
"Don't!" I barked, feeling my heart slam against my chest. It hurts… but somehow, it sends a euphoric shiver down my spine, too.
Huminto siya sa paghakbang, kunot-noong bumalik ang tingin sa mga mata ko.
"H-huwag kang pupunta... anywhere near me," sabi ko, my voice barely holding together as my Adam’s apple bobbed nervously, struggling to swallow the lump forming in my throat.
Nanatili ang nanghuhusga niyang tingin sa akin, bago niya tuluyang sinabi, "Nakadroga ka ba?"
Asshole.
I was fighting to sort out my feelings for you, and yet here you are, judging me.
"I'm n—"
I was cut off by Kakashi as he stepped closer, his presence overwhelming me.
"I said don't go anywhere ne—"
Again, I was interrupted when he pressed his palm against my forehead, checking my temperature. His warm breath brushed against the base of my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
I could almost feel the heat radiating between us, the space narrowing as I became acutely aware of how close he was. I could almost reach out and touch his pink, plump lips and taste the—
I am not gay.
"W-what... Anong ginagawa mo?" tanong ko habang pinapakiramdaman ang lambot ng kamay niya sa balat ko.
"Nakadroga ka nga ata, eh. Tamo, namumula ka pa," sabi niya, nakaangat ang tingin sa akin.
"Hindi ako nagdodroga, Kakashi," bulong ko, exhaling as I felt heat rush through my body.
Humakbang siya palayo sa akin saka nagpamewang, kunot-noo akong tinitigan, "Eh, ano pala problema mo?"
"Tss." I hesitated, letting his question linger in the air for a moment until I recalled something he had done.
