After the "CUT!"

Stand

"Babe?"

His eyes is a reflection of so many emotions - sadness, frustration, pain. Seeing him in that state makes her heart bleed. He doesn't deserve all these shit that he is getting. She can't understand why some people still judge him and paint him in a bad light when he has shown nothing but sincerity and kindness. She has never met anyone with a purer heart than him.

Both of them have been nothing but agreeable to the stupid rules and controls their managements imposed on them. They have to give vague answers so as to neither give away anything nor lie to the people. But she's had enough! It's time for her to do something for him, take a stand for him, for the both of them.

"Fuck the rules. I am so done with this 'no labels', 'basta happy' shit."

Her sudden outburst surprised him, between them two she is always the mature one. She is younger but she is the one with the higher EQ. She seldom, if not at all, react on things like this.

"Love, what do you mean?"

Instead of answering, she grabbed her phone and started typing up. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what she is up to but when the notification lighted up in his own phone, and after he read what she typed - the tears he tried so hard to suppress came unbidden. And all he can say is i love you again and again and again.

@mainedcm: Happy ka, @aldenrichards02? Ako kasi always happy with you. I love you, babe. #BaffledPaMore #IamNotThough

"Now let's see what they will make of that."

Who cares about the world anyway?

His arms wrapped around her and her face on his chest, it's all that matters.

A/N: Quick fic just because. FICTION PO.

Let me take this opportunity to gush over the number of reads for this book as well - 30k guys! That's much more than I could ever hope for.

I started writing these shorts because 1) I miss writing, and 2) A and M brought me back my mojo. I had no expectations though. I posted it in here just to share it to you guys.

OK, I was lying - I had expectations but I only expected at most 1k reads. I know 30k is a small number compared to other fanfics... But still, my stories compared to them are mostly clichès and badly written (and unedited). So truly, reaching 30k is such a milestone for me.

At dahil diyan, I just need to sort my priorities but the updateS after this will be mutiples oneshots to complete 30 chapters - to complement the 30k.

Again thank you so much!!!
