c'est nous (m.w)

his name is jel

- Edward's.

Tanner have hugged Maymay for the nth time now, and I have watched in dismay every time he did it. And worst of all, he was doing it in front of me. I don't know if he's really pushing me to my limits and doing this on purpose, or just not minding me. Either way, I was getting real mad. One more lingering hug I promise I will explode. One more hug and I will yank Maymay out of his grasp. Oh God, help me. Things will get worse.

Nineteen. Nineteen hugs. I got eleven, and Tanner got nineteen! I was annoyed. I thought after getting outside the house, things like these would stop and Tanner would be away from my twin again, but no - management had to screw it up for me. Management had to schedule a mall show with all the PBB Lucky 7 housemates, and of course that includes Tanner.

It was absurd, to be counting the hugs Maymay have given Tanner and compared it to what I got. But sucks to be you, Tanner, after many mall shows Maymay and I have went through, I had a total of estimated five hundred hugs, and of course a little indirect kisses on the forehead.

So sucks to be you because you aren't the official love team!

"Edward, what are you smiling at?" I looked at Cora who was looking at me weirdly, I just faked a laugh before waving at our audience, ignoring her suspicious stares and tried to not look at Tanner and -- sweet Heavens, he's going on for a twentieth hug. I had to stop it.

"Hey, May!" I yelled abruptly, raising both of my hands in the air, asking for a hug. 

Maymay looked at me for a moment and went in, and I inhaled her scent as she succumbed into my arms. I looked at Tanner and smirked, knowing I have won this time. But not really stopping there because I still want more hugs from my twin, and of course to keep Tanner from having his twentieth hug from Maymay. She and I stayed still for a while, I saw her hide her smile and I flashed Tanner a triumphant smile, even if he doesn't know I was competing with him for May's attention. Call me whatever you want but Maymay is mine and Tanner can't have her!

"May, come here, I'll show something funny!" Tanner exclaimed, catching the attention of Maymay. I looked at him sharply, and tried to annoy him more. "Let's see what Tanner wants us to see, May!" I smiled, a little too chirpy. Maymay looked at me weirdly but still held on to my grasp to go to Tanner, who was holding his phone up high. Nikko and Mccoy were chuckling at the corner, Cora was video-filming us, Yong was mouthing 'Go Edward!' as Kisses was nowhere to be seen, and I didn't really care what she's doing. 

"Paktay na bai, war na 'to." Yong exclaimed as he high-fived with Cora, who was chanting Tanner's name. I glared at her, "You were supposed to be rooting for me!!!!!"

Cora backed up and raised her hands in surrender, but still giggling. Tanner was smirking while Maymay laughed at a little pony dressed in tights - which I concluded was animal cruelty and was no way to tell as a joke - but I guess I'm just pretty much annoyed at Tanner for teasing me.

After a few prod numbers, it was all coming to an end. I have successfully tried to get Maymay away from Tanner for as long as I can do, but of course Tanner still got his way into it. But not long enough to get his twentieth hug from Maymay, whereas I have improved into nineteen as well, thanks to that Baliw prod and Titig Ng Pag-Ibig prod. Ha, ha, Tanner. 

We were all packing up, and I was staying close to Maymay as she was getting all her gifts from our fans. I have offered my help, but she said she didn't need some, when clearly she does so I just stole a few gifts away from her and got it myself. It earned a few complaints but she obliged.

"Kulit mo." She said while we were getting out of the stadium. I stuck a tounge at her and chuckled. "You were obviously needing it, May." I retaliated. I was cheery and overjoyed, mainly because Tanner didn't get his twentieth hug, and of course because of the fans.

"Bakit ang saya saya mo?" She questioned, unloading the gifts inside the van. 

"Nothing." I said, hiding my smile. But was then erased when I saw Tanner jogging his way up to us, a smile plastered on his face. "May!" He exclaimed. I raised my hand for him to acknowledge me as well. He stopped on his tracks and coughed, "Oh hey, Edward."

"I'm just going to ask Maymay for a hug, you know, we're about to get separated again. It was just great to be hanging out with you again." He said, opening his arms. I looked at Maymay, who was reluctant but was then going in for the hug. I reacted immediately and yanked Maymay before she can even touch his arms. "Maymay is tired, very tired."

Tanner was shell-shocked, even Maymay was, so I moved quickly.

"See? Maymay let's go, you're tired." I continued on for her, guiding her towards the van, not even glancing at Tanner. I passed by him and heard him chuckle. "Darn it. I lost."

I stopped by my tracks as I saw a sad Mccoy and Yong giving a very delighted Nikko and Cora something. Cora was happily chanting, "We won! We won! Edward for the win!" 

"You placed a bet on us?" 

"We may have..."
