In a heartbeat: R.E Version [In Progress]

Chapter 37: Full House Part I

Third person's POV

Sherwin and Jonathan was sitting on both side of the far end of the sofa opposing one another as the reality of what they just did, the scene in the car by the way, hits them.

Silence reigned as Jonathan was holding an ice pack on top of his head while Sherwin was trying to sink inside the sofa as he hugged his legs tightly on his chest while looking away from Jonathan's general direction, crossing his fingers that the blush on his face would go unnoticed. 

Jonathan kept on glancing at him. He didn't know if what he did was ok with Sherwin after all he didn't get any respond from him when he asked if they were even on that matter.

But then again he wasn't the one who initiated it in the first place. That thought alone had his heart bursting in emotion. But the silence between them was killing him.

"Sherwin...? Are you still upset? About earlier?" He asked bluntly. All the silence had him worked up wondering if he messed up big time as he wisely kept their distances putting in mind the possibility that Sherwin might run-off or worse avoid him.

Sherwin could only freeze up, his blushing face buried on his thighs and hesitantly glanced up to Jonathan.

He shook his head and Jonathan smiled and had already forgotten the smart move he just made. He moved closer resulting for Sherwin to tensed up, seeing this Jonathan stopped his approach.

"W-we..." he heard Sherwin whispered something but couldn't make up of it. "What were you saying?" He chuckled at the usual shy, unsure demeanor that he adore and love.

Sherwin gulped and carefully with all the courage he could muster aviating his eyes to Jonathan's. "W-we...we j-just d-did that...didn't we?.." He questioned. Jonathan's face lit up with a blush and both their hearts thumping in one beat. Sherwin tried his best calming his beating heart while also re-thinking.

Why the heck!? Did he just brought that up?

Jonathan cleared his throat getting Sherwin's attention away from his thoughts. "Is that what you're upset about?" He asked. In honesty, he didn't wanna hear it.

There's a lingering thought of Sherwin not liking it at all, the thought of what if Sherwin started avoiding him because of it or totally scaring him because God knows those were the last things he would wanted to do with Sherwin.

His heart beats with anticipation waiting for an answer in which Sherwin replied with the curls of his hair hitting his face as shook his head rapidly.

"NO!!" he squeaked. Jonathan's eye widen in surprised at the sudden raised of his voice. "It's not that....I actually.." Sherwin avoided Jonathan's prying eyes with his lips pursed together.

"I'm not upset about it...I-...." He whispered and looking very much interested on the floor. "You're?" Jonathan pressed on leaning forward to Sherwin. He didn't notice how close he was to Sherwin. He needed to hear it. He needed to know.

Sherwin looking very conflicted, faced Jonathan again. Cheeks burning as he bit his inner lower lip. "I lik-" He couldn't finished it though when they saw his mom walked in the living room.

"Are you two alright in here? It's awfully quiet" She asked eyeing both of them. Jonathan's head snapped forward meeting eyes with her.

"Yeah, were umm-were fine, auntie" he smiled. He wasn't sure if they were fine at all but it's best not make her worry about her son.

She rolled her eyes to her son, she noticed right away the red on his face spreading like wild fire. She smiled.

"Alright then, I guess I'll leave you two to it" She lingered her eyes at her son, wincing at the last second before disappearing again to the kitchen.
