Raddish Boy

Only if it Fits

“Forth’s POV”

I got home tired and powerless after our last practice. The competition will be held tomorrow evening. I entered the house and saw my dad sleeping at his work bench again. Dad has already quit doing car repairs. With the help of Kurt, they transformed the auto shop to a custom car shop.

He just started with this kind of business but he has already been receiving lots of deals from elite people who fancy high end wheels. They have satisfied customers from different parts of the country with their futuristic take on old models. Soon mom came home dragging herself after being gone for two weeks. Just like my old man, she was also busy with her work. She was assigned as the head civil engineer at a major infrastructure project in the province.

I told my parents about the competition. Both of them just gave me a pat on the back and told me to do my best. They were too tired to move a muscle. I was hoping for moral support during the day of the competition but I understand. There are situations like this that can’t be helped. I was just thankful that both of them are healthy despite their hectic schedule. It’s their loss for not being there to support their youngest son, the most handsome engineering student and soon to be declared as the most handsome student in the whole university. Belle and Kurt on the other hand told me that they will coming to cheer for me.

“Hey dad. I forgot to tell you, Beam will be there too. He’s going to be a backup dancer for one of the contestants.” I told my dad who is currently dead flat lying on the sofa.

Dad’s droopy eyes dilated as soon as he heard Beam’s name and stood up immediately. He ran to his room and rummaged his things.

“Honey! Where did you hide my camera? We’re going tomorrow!” Dad nearly stumbled due to his excitement.

Mom on the other hand did not answer. Upon hearing me talk about Beam, she went straight to her closet and searched for clothes to wear for tomorrow’s event. I could not stop smiling. Even with their current schedule and tired physical body, they can still find time when it comes to Beam. They don’t have any interest with their own son joining the competition but both of them are hyped after hearing that Beam will be there even if it was a minor role. I don’t know if I should be happy or jealous over the attention they give to my lover.

After a nice warm bath, I went straight to bed. I opened the side table drawer and pulled out a small blue box. I started dreaming of the moment that I will be able to put this on Beam’s hand. I hope that moment will be perfect; and I hope that everything will work out just fine.
