Let's Capture Love [BoyxBoy]

XII - The Prince's Kiss

Naomi stood by the door of the pantry. She couldn't help but smile after seeing Josh embrace Zach. Her two best friends were finally starting to get back together, she was sure of it, and that made her feel really happy.

She heard the voices of Alice and Eunice walking towards the pantry and it made Naomi closed the door instantly. "We should leave those two alone. They're having a really serious talk." Naomi said as she stood in front of the door, preventing anyone from coming in.

The situation made Naomi remembered when Zach and Josh's relationship was revealed in college. The club was in chaos, basically because almost everyone was jealous of the two. Apparently, both there were a lot of students who had their eyes on both Zach and Josh.

Frank, Katy, and David didn't help in pacifying the situation either. They joined in and teased Josh.

It was days after the club camp, and everyone was told to finish the portfolio of the one hundred pictures that they took on the camp. The club adviser, Norman Jepson, together with the club council will pick the top ten portfolios and would exhibit them on the Campus Arts Week festivities.

By that time, Naomi had already finished compiling her portfolio. Her hundred pictures project's subject was the camp mascot, golden retriever named Marts, which Naomi followed around the whole camp. Having done her portfolio, Naomi had a lot of free time, and her time was mostly preoccupied by figuring out what Josh and Zach's subject were.

"Come on, I told both of you mine." Naomi protested as she ate with the newly formed couple, of which she was the only one who knew about, at that time.

"We didn't ask you, though." Josh replied with a teasing smile.

"Well... mine is a bit embarrassing to reveal right now... so, sorry..." Zach apologized guiltily as he lowered his head. Naomi noticed that he turned his head to Josh, though. Naomi felt like Zach was trying to hide it from Josh, more than keeping it a secret from her.

"I see. I understand." Naomi told Zach with a small smile.

"Mine is a bit embarrassing too." Josh said with a teasing smile.

"Like hell. You just don't want to tell me." Naomi complained.

"That too." Josh replied.

"You're such a lovely friend." Naomi said sarcastically with an eyebrow raised.

Naomi watched the two closely. The two sure seemed to be getting closer and closer each day. Josh had his arm around Zach's shoulder and at one point, Josh started playing with the hair at the back of Zach's head.

Zach's cheeks were already pinkish just by sitting beside Josh, and it became red when Josh started playing with his hair. Anyone that would see Zach would instantly know what he feels for Josh. He was that transparent that his face tells everything.

"So, how far have you gone with Zach?" Naomi asked Josh after Zach left to do a group work in the library.

"Relax. If you're worried about Zach, then there's no need to. The farthest I've gone was to hug and kiss him the forehead and cheeks." Josh replied with a smile. "Zach is special. I know I need to treat him delicately and with care. I'll take things slow with him."

"That's good to hear." Naomi left out a sigh of relief. "Who confessed first then? Who said 'I like you' first?" Naomi asked and Josh bit his lips with a guilty expression. "Hey, don't tell me?" Josh shook his head. "You idiot! I can understand Zach not saying anything, I mean he doesn't have to say it anymore, it's very obvious and practically written all over his face. His whole face is practically red when he is with you. You, on the other hand is a different matter. Do you know what the club thinks?"
