Roomies [BoyXBoy]

Chapter 12: Impulse

Matt's POV

The world stopped and everthing faded away as I look into his eyes. As I gaze at his handsome face, everything is just a blur.

I was still feeling down when I went home earlier. But now, seeing him sitting in our kitchen with hot chocolate in hand, brushed it all off away. I am smitten. There'se no point in denying that.

"Hello Matt." Hearing his voice is enough to erase whatever happened earlier. It might not be healthy. It might not be a great choice, well its not even a choice, its what I am feeling. It was enough to let go and bring a smile to my face. I huge grin that might split my fave in two.

"You're here!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"I told you! He's here!" Art said matching my excitement.

"Yeah I'm here." Kris mimicked us.

"Well welcome to our humble home, I'm Matt's Father, Arthur." Papa extended his hand to shake Kris', which was accepted by the latter firmly.

I know Kris by now. I know that behind the cocky facade, he's crumbling inside. Behind that smile, his heart is beating like a drum.

"And I'm Mia, his Mother. You've met Max, that's Mark, My oldest and Art, our youngest." My mom introduced the rest of the family as Kris shook everyone's hand.

"Thank you, and sorry if I'm intruding or anything." Kris said while rubbing the back of his head. Thats what he does whenever he feel shy. He looked so cute.

"Non-sense. We're happy to have you." Mama dismissed him easily.

"Go and do something outside, you're all a huge clutter in my kitchen." Max said annoyed. Well he's like that whenever someone is in the kitchen as he cooks.

One by one, my family stepped out of the kitchen to give Max his space. I was forced to step back, creating another step away from the persone that I lo--. Ughhh. Whats gotten into me?

"That includes you two." Max said pointing at us using a spatula.

"But am still drinking my hot chocolate." Kris tried.

"Can't you drink it outside?" Max challenged.

"Well--"

"You can, so out."

I dunno what happened to these two while we were out but it seems like theyve known each other for a while. Max dont usually use his sassiness to people he just met. He's usually polite and nice. But when you learn to know him, behind that politeness is an evil, naughty, sassy person that you will love.

Kris dejectedly pick up his mug and walked away. I looked at Max to ask whats up his ass when he smiled brightly and winked at me. That got me red in the face. Did he learn something?

I turned to look at Kris and saw him pouting. How adorable!

"Would you like to come up to my room?" I asked suddenly. Sudden meaning i didnt even think. Why did I ask him that? "I mean to, you know, uhmm ttalk, hangout or something."

"I would love to." He answered. "Lead the way."

I made my way to my room with him following behind. Well, we definitely need to talk. I love the fact that he's here, but I need to know why.

I opened the door to my room and let him in.

"Nice room. Its very..uhmm..you." He said as he takes in evrything my room has to offer.

Very me? I unconsciously checked my room looking around trying to understand what he meant.

"Very me?" I asked when i didnt get what he meant by that.

He casually walked to my desk and grabbed a chair to sit on.

"Yeah. Very you. Organized. Clean. Very "homey"" he said, elaborating what he meant.

I dont know if I should thank him or not so I decided to let the comment pass and focus on what i wanted to know.

"Why are you here?" I asked without looking at him.

"Uhm..You invited me to go here. In your room. So i'm here."

Smart ass. Its evident that he wanted to avoid the topic but I wanted to clear the air and I need answers.

"You know what I mean Kris." I pushed on looking outside my window. I cant look at him. I feel like if I did I will just let things pass.

Silence. Thats his answer to me. "Please. I need to know. Why did you follow me?"

"Matt. Can you let this go just for now? Can we pretend that, i dont know how to call it, the fight maybe, didnt happen. And that I agreed to join you since you have invited me?"

Forget what happened and move on. Thats what he is asking me. Can I do that?

Another moment of silence enveloped us. Things are awkward and the tension in the room heightens as we continue to not speak to each other.

I dont think I can accept his answer. I dont think i can just forget what happened. It might be a simple fight between friends that can be resolved once I go back to the university. But his actions changed everything as I perceived it. And I need his answers or else I'll go mad thinking why he is doing this.

I normally would say yes and just let it go but now, things are different. I am normally not a pushy person and I avoid conflict. I dont know what happened, maybe something snapped that wanted me to push for this and get answers.

"No Kris. We cant. I cant just let it go. I cant just say that its fine and lets move on, please, tell me why are you here? Why did you follow me?" I may have sounded begging for answers but i really didnt care. I need to know. I need answers.

He didnt say anything after that. I gave him a few more minutes to answer but when he didnt, i turned around and faced him. I was about to talk when he cut me off. He was looking at me with such passion that i've never seen before.

"Because I care about you. I care about you more than I should and I cant live with the guilt when I saw ur face earlier. You were so defeated. So hurt. I cant live with that weighing on my shoulders. I first thought it was a very childish thing to be hurt about. But its who you are. I cant call you and I dont know how else can I contact you, i really just wanted to apologize but theres a nagging feeling inside that I need to see you. That i need to know you are self. And if i didnt see to it, i wont be able to sleep tonight. Thats why am here Matt, I'm sorry if I was such an asshole but --- omfff."

He didnt see it coming.

All through out this confrontation, my heart was hammering hard in my chest. Whatever fueled my need to answers brought us into this, crazy, awkward situation but i'm thankful. And when i heard him answer my question, with honesty, my heart swelled. It got so big all of a sudden, i thought my chest cant carry it anymore. A sudden feeling of warmth covered me. I felt like crying and yet happy at the same time.

He was so into his speech and when his eyes wavered and looked somewhere else I did what I thought was the best thing to do.

I kissed him.
