cheesecake

0.3

Over the next few months, they began to have friendly conversations. War started ordering cheesecake more than ever to have that split chance of seeing Yin for a few minutes. It was the same for Yin too, he would wait for the cheesecake order to show up on the delivery app and run to his motorbike as fast as he could to reach in time, maybe even talk to War for a while. 

Both of them understood each other's longing and the conversations that started from the weirdest places ever were slowly transitioning into more personal words. They would talk about how Yin's job was, how War's parents treated him, His love for cheesecake (obviously) and so much more. These exchanges made them grow intimately close.

"Why do you even like cheesecake so much?" Yin asked.

"Why, can I not like it? You have had enough of my cheesecake slices in excuse of delivering them to me, can't you tell yet?" chuckled War. 

"I just thought that the reason was, I don't know, personal?"

"Oh, it is sort of like that I suppose. I adopted Oki after eating cheesecake at a nearby cafe. Even before her surgery, I had cheesecake. Ever since then, I thought that eating cheesecake brought me good omen because of the utterly inexplicable luck that I get from eating it."

"That's not what I expected honestly, you always look so serious when you're eating it, I thought you associated it with someone."

"well, I do now."

Yin felt a tinge of warmth, was War talking about him? "I mean, we do eat cheesecake together a lot now, maybe he is talking about me?" . But then again, Yin was known for taking words the wrong way and turning it into a misunderstanding. He decided to not give it much thought but those four words were pulling his head apart by the time he was home after an evening off cheesecake and words and laughter and War, of course. Why were his thoughts clouded by War so much? 

"Bro you're gonna fall if you walk around like that. What's going on?" Ohm appeared in the stairwell. 

"I'm fine, i'm walking fine, my mind is fine, why do think there is something wrong with me?" Yin answered half-heartedly. 

"Oh, its just the way you're walking around like a marionette being controlled by someone else. I would hope that THAT is concerning. If you don't wanna tell me it's fine but atleast take care of yourself."

"you wanna go for drinks?" Yin asked Ohm, all so suddenly. 

"hell yea"

And so they left for drinks in an unpredictable night.
