His Glimmer Of Hope

Chapter 11

When they arrived at the cafe, Jaylen looked at Kujo and back to the menu. "I hrard that their chocolate frappucino is nice." Kujo said and Jaylen nodded. "What will you be getting?" He asked as he looked at Jaylen, who is pondering seriously on which drink to get. "Umm.. Maybe.. Normal iced chocolate?" Jaylen finally said after deciding for almost ten minutes.

"Shall we go dutch again?" Jaylen asked but Kujo stopped him before Jaylen could pull out his wallet. "My treat this time." Kujo smiled. "Why don't you go look for a seat?" Kujo added and Jaylen nodded, leaving Kujo's side and to an empty seat beside the windows. As he is waiting for Kujo, Jaylen started playing game on his phone as he is wondering why such a famous and good-looking guy would use such an app when he could simply approach someone in real life.

Kujo soon arrived with two drinks in his hands. "Here you go." Kujo said and Jaylen thanked him, closing the game on his phone. "Umm.. How should i call you?" Kujo asked as he looked at Jaylen. "You can call me Jay or Jaylen, both are fine since both are my name." Jaylen said and Kujo nodded. "Can i call you Jay then?" Kujo asked and Jaylen nodded his head. "Then.. Can i call you Kujo?" Jaylen asked and Kujo chuckled. "If you want to but you can call me Axel too." Kujo smiled. "Although i think most people call me by my cosplay name." Kujo said with a chuckle.

"Oh. I thought you will be bringing along your friend today." Kujo said and Jaylen shook his head. "I wanted to but.. I think it will be awkward so i decided not to." Jaylen said softly. "Jay? Can you look at me?" Kujo said when he noticed that they have no eye-contact whatsoever ever since they reached the cafe. Jaylen slowly rise his head and his gaze met with Kujo's, making him blush. "You are really cute." Kujo smiled, making Jaylen blush more.

*This is really awkward.. More awkward than before.* Jaylen thought in his mind as he looked back down. "I'm really happy that you finally looked at me." Kujo smiled. "Your brown eyes are really captivating." Kujo added as Jaylen's blush darkened. "Umm.. Kujo?" Jaylen spoke up and Kujo responded. "Why did we get separated from your friends?" Jaylen asked. "Well.. I wanted to talk to you, to understand you more. Rather than talking by texting through that social app." Kujo said and Jaylen nodded. "Thanks.. For talking to me." Jaylen said and Kujo let out a laugh. "Sorry but people seldom say that in the middle of a chatting session." Kujo said and Jaylen apologized, feeling embarrassed. "It's okay." Kujo smiled but Jaylen's blush stayed on his cheeks.
