In the mind of the Genius

Smartphone

Four days to go before the Student Council President Examination. By now, I should be reviewing but because of this stupid sleeping club, I need to waste my time in this stupid room with Beta who's already sleeping.

I brought my books with me but I just can't seem to focus. Beta's sleeping face, lying on a comfy bed really irritates me. He's sound asleep while I'm here turning pages from a book that doesn't concern my field of expertise. Right now, this is our only counter plan against Clarissa, the Knight of the Abyss Syndicate. So to put it simply - everything rests on my shoulders.

"Brii, come here. Let's sleep." Beta said.

"Shut up. Just sleep by yourself. I'm still mad at you." I said grumpily.

"Why?"

"This is not the type of club that I wanted. I'm still bored to death!" 

"What's wrong with this club? I'm doing my best to sleep just like the very description of our club so we're doing great. Just get over it already. It's been 2, 3 days since our club started and I haven't seen you rest."

"The exam is on Saturday! And I'm not yet prepared." I frustratingly said.

"Just sit here beside me, please?" Beta said with an awful but persuading expression.

"What's with your face?" I said as I laugh. "What are you trying to do? Trying to mimic a puppy begging for food?"

"Please?" Beta once again said.

How can I turn down this cute boy acting childish in front of me? He's way to cute for me. So I surrendered and went to him.

"Yippee!" Beta mockingly said.

"Enough with the 'I'm-a-cute-child acting. So what do you want me to do?" I asked.

Beta then put his head on my lap. He really likes using me as his pillow. And I also like being his pillow.

"Say, Beta, why do you always sleep on my lap?" I instinctively asked.

"Because you smell nice." he said with a mellow voice.

I can feel my face turning red. How can he say those words without being shy?

"But I'm not wearing any perfume." I shyly said.

"I know." Beta answered.

We went silent for quite a time. I can hear his breathing. And I'm being overly conscious with my own breathing. It's way too fast, and I need to control it or else, Beta might notice my irregular breathing. I need to talk to calm myself down.

"I realized something." I softly said.

Just when I thought Beta is sleeping, he said "What?"

"That you are addicted to me." I said. "Addicted to my smell, that is."

Then Beta suddenly rose, grabbed and hugged me tight until we're now both lying on the bed. He's hugging me very tight, but it doesn't hurt. He's squeezing me but it's not suffocating. He's heavy but I like it.

Then he whispered in my ear "Yeah, I'm addicted to you. You are my drug, Brii."

His words were like a magic spell that left me in a vulnerable state. My mind went blank and just went with my instinct. I can smell him too. The way his shoulder touches my lips, I don't want to move an inch. I also started to hug him.

"I - I think I'm addicted to you too." I answered back.

"44 kilograms."

"What?"
