BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT

Chapter 8

"I think we need a break from each other, I'm sorry for loving you " Gemini got out of the car "oh, here are the car keys you can leave if you want to, drive my car to work tomorrow I'll get it" Gemini said and left Fourth to decide.

"T for tough! I should drive home, my mom must be worried about me " Fourth said and started the engine.

A part of him wanted to go back to Gemini but he knew his phi was so mad he wouldn't dare go to him.
He left his medication at Gemini's and only remembered while driving because he felt nauseous again.

Meanwhile, Gemini was on his bed fighting his pillow.

"I hate you! I hate you Fotfot....aaaaaggg!" He squeezed the hell out of it.

"Why would you just watch me leave huh? It's like you don't - wait i have to call Pond" Gemini wiped his tears and dialed Pond's number

"Yes Gem, missed me?" Pond asked teasingly

"Pond..it's Fourth "

"What's with Fourth is he okay?" -Pond

"Fourth and I broke up i feel terrible!" Gemini's voice breaking

"Wait what? Were you two dating??" Pond asked clueless

"Well not really but I...you won't understand anyway"

"Fine let's talk tomorrow naa it's so late"

....

The next day, Gemini and Fourth had a fan meeting despite what happened, they had to face each other again.
Gemini was mad at Fourth whereas Fourth acted like nothing happened.

Even though he was sick, he put on a happy face for his fans.
For him, his fans meant everything to him he'd do anything to make them smile even if it meant doing fan service.

At the fan meet, while playing games Fourth tried his best to act normal but the expression in Gemini's face was different. He was frowning but still staring at his nong, everyone could tell that he was mad at him.

Not long, Fourth felt like throwing up again and was escorted by the guards leaving Gemini to cover up the rest of the event.

"Gemini do you like Fourth?" A fan shouted and the rest got excited at the question.

"Yes he's my friend " he hesitated before replying

"Just friend? Would you date him if given the chance?" Another fan chipped in

"Uhhhm I'd say yes and no" Gemini answered with a wink

"Why no?"

"Well like i said before, we're close friends " Gemini answered..

Later after the event, Gemini found Fourth waiting backstage for him.
He was resting on the couch looking pale making Gemini worried.

Should he approach him? He asked himself.

"Here take this " Gemini handed him his medicines that he brought with him.

"Thank you na" Fourth took the pills, his eyes fixated on Gemini.

"Phi can I come with you to your condo? " Fourth asked, his voice soft

"Sure" Gemini agreed, afterall he wanted to be the one to take care of Fot when he was sick.

.

At Gemini's condo..

Fourth was nothing but clingy the whole time. He wanted to talk about what happened but he was scared of the older.

I should talk to him..what could possibly go wrong

Fourth walked to the kitchen where Gemini was preparing porridge for him and back hugged him.

"Phi I'm sorry about yesterday, I-"

"Right, can we not talk about it? " Gem asked

"Why not? "

"Let's forget about getting into a relationship it will only complicate things. I'm fine with being friends" Gemini answered handing him his porridge

"Jesus! Phi Gem! Do you even know why I'm sick huh?"

"Why?"

"Because I love you! You idiot "

"Huhhh? I don't understand....why are you throwing up then?" Gemini asked his cheeks flushed red.

"It's just...maybe anxiety...I don't know how people will react if we start dating. They might hate us? Or worse " Fourth said, tears welling up.

"Ohoo so you've been worried about us? Why didn't you say something yesterday Fot?"

"Like you gave me a chance " Fourth frowned

"I'm sorry Fot" he whispered and pulled him into a hug, resting his chin on Fourth's shoulder "Thank you " Gemini said wiping a tear drop.

"Thank you too phi Gem for not letting go" Fourth said.

"Stop...I'll cry" Gemini sobbed

"You're crying already " Fourth squeezed his cheeks.

After a while of Fourth resting beside Gemini, he woke up sweating and panting his hands gripping on Gemini's arms.

"Hey Fot are you okay? Still sick?" Gemini asked

" Just a bad dream, forget it" Fourth replied

"Was it that bad?"

"Yeah very bad" he pouted " You broke up with me and I begged you to stay but you did not "

He cupped Fourth's cheeks "Hey look at me, that's just a dream. I would never leave you okay?"

"Promise?" Fourth asked looking at him with puppy eyes

"Pinky promise " Gemini assured him, as they hug.

"If you're feeling better can we go get you some ice cream?" Gemini asked stroking Fourth's hair.

"Sure!!"

"Ain't you a bit too excited? It's just ice cream Fot" Gemini rolled his eyes

"Well you know i love ice cream " Fourth answered

"So you love ice cream more than me?" Gemini asked frowning

"How can you compare ice cream with you? The point is, ice cream is sweeter "
Fourth stuck out his tongue playfully

Gemini pulled him close crashing his lips on his and sucking the hell out of Fourth's tongue "mmmh... phi Gem " Fourth mumbled as Gemini break the kiss

"It's because you really haven't tasted me yet have you?" Gemini asked as they both pant

"I don't know, have i?" Fourth asked ready for another kiss

Gemini leaned in for another kiss but snobbed the latter teasing him.

"Hoey P'Gem kiss me naa"

"Let's go get you some ice cream, looks like they're sweeter than me." Gemini said with a serious face.

"Phi Gemmm"

"Fotfot khap"

"Please naa? Naa "

"Fine" Gemini couldn't resist his pouty face, he got on top of him pinning both his wrists above his head and kissing him passionately without letting him breath..

"Phi Gemm khap "

"Fotfot "

"Let go that's enough " Fourth said

"No you asked for it and i want more" Gemini said still pinning him down

"Stop it phi I'm...I'm having-"

"Damn Gem!" Phuwin shouted from the door startling the two.

"Shiaaa Phu, Pond! Bad timing!" Gemini shouted getting off Fourth.
