~ Patrick's POV ~
Carl's birthday went good, and I have to admit that I had fun.
That joshua kid immediately went home though, he went home while me, carl and that deus kid were eating pizzas.
I couldn't blame him... I wasn't a very nice host and ignored him.
I feel guilty for being a prat to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I finally reached home, mom was still chatting with carl's mom and amadeus said that he was going to sleep at carl's place tonight.
I checked my wrist watch.
'it's already 8 : 30 pm'
I shove my hand in my pocket to get my key when my peripheral vision caught sight of a figure on our neighbor's house.
I turned to look at the figure, only to see that it was joshua.
Wait, what's he doing outside their house?
It's getting very cold because of the winter breeze.
He was standing at their front gate and staring on an empty space.
"hey" I called and walk towards him.
He blinked before looking at me.
"kuya patrick"
"what are you doing outside?" I asked with a stoic expression.
He looked away "deus have our key and mom and dad won't be home 'til next day and my sister went to a party with a friend" he answered.
"your brother said that he's sleeping at carl's" I said.
"what?! That jerk!" he huffed.
"what am I going to do now?" he asked more to himself than to me.
I shrugged "wanna sleep in my room?" I offered.
The kid suddenly went quiet and frowned.
"are you serious?" he asked.
It was my turn to frown "of course I am serious!"
I opened the door and invite him inside.
I noticed that he had that awed expression on our giant christmas tree.
"mom decided to decorate the christmas tree for the christmas spirit" I said.
"um... it's beautiful" the kid mumbled.
"well, mom is really very good with decorations" I said with a crooked grin.
The kid visibly fidgeted. I wonder why?
"um... yeah, Mrs. Ruiz is really good in decorating. She's very artistic and creative"
I just nodded in agreement.
"so are you hungry kid?" I asked.
"er... not really" but his stomach suddenly growled and it was audible to my ears because of the silence of the night.
"or maybe I am" the boy continued with a blush tinted on his porcelain cheeks.
Wait, did I just describe his cheeks as porcelain?
"tsk, come on then. I think there's still adobo in the kitchen, I'll just warm it up for you"
After the kid ate, I lead him to my room. I often see him blushing as we made our way to my room.
I turned the knob and open the door.
"welcome to my room kid"
The kid's eyes widened at how messy my room is.
"it's nice, just a little messy though" the kid commented.
I chuckled "I don't often stay in my room, I'm always at my dorm" I replied.
"really..?" is that a sarcastic tone?
I frowned "yeah, 'cause I'm always busy with our thesis work" I simply retorted.
I don't really want to have an arguement with this bastard right now, but his simple act absentmindedly piss me off sometimes.
He fidgeted again.
"I didn't mean it that way kuya patrick" he said then slowly turn his gaze away from me and towards the anime posters that were posted on my wall.
I shove my hands in my pockets before speaking
"I'm a big fan of anime"

Cut! Wooh... *grins* finally finished this chapter. I was writing this while observing children with special needs in a SpEd center here in rizal area, so I'm very sorry if I made any mistake. Also, we had our college festival last week so I've been very busy and couldn't do my stories and I got preoccupied in watching anime DVDs in home so it took even longer before I continued my stories.
I think I'm getting addicted in watching kyou kara maou, I'm still waiting for the season 2 and 3 DVDs in the store near us.
Okay, I'm going to stop rambling now.
Please vote for my story and comment if you like it or if I should stop writing it, thank you ;)
