That One Time Tin (almost) Ruins Everything (1/3)

Simply said, Can is clingy. To his sister. To his mother. It's fine. Tin understands that unlike him Can has grown up with a loving family who shows affection through action, words and touch in daily basis. Tin, in fact, likes them. Can and his family.

Can is also clingy to his best friend, that one guy from soccer club who is always with him. He is so frustratingly slow to the point he just blinks whenever Tin glares at him, too dense to realize Tin's silent order to get away from Can.

There's also another one. Tin sometimes wonders what is the reason Can being so clingy to that particular senior. Does it because he always buy snacks for Can? Maybe yes, maybe not.

Either way, Tin doesn't like him, that Techno guy.

Tin doesn't like how he casually throws his arm around Can, or how he puts Can on a headlock.

And Tin truly hates Techno right now.

The soccer captain, who usually crumbles with a glance of Tin's eyes, is staring back at him in a challenge. Their impromptu stare match ends abruptly when a sob is heard from the boy on Techno's hold.

"Can, let's go home now." Tin says, hands reaching out to steer Can -his Can- away from Techno's embrace.

Techno steps back quickly, dragging Can's body in the process.

"I don't think so." He says, his eyes are locked once again with Tin's cold stare. No one dare to move for a second before the soccer captain break the eye contact to lean down slightly, whispering to Can.

"Can, shall we go home now?"

Tin holds his breathe when he hears the question. If Can agrees to go with Techno, then Tin has no right to force him to go with Tin.

Can nods, head still buried in Techno's chest.

Techno looks up, "We will go first. Take care."

Tin clenches his fists as the two of them walk away, leaving him alone.
