Ice Cold You

Chapter 17: Escape

Annoyed with how Charles made him look like a fool Tin speed up towards their destination. Can is looking at Tin with endearing eyes knowing full well of the answer that he gave to Charles. He felt happy when he heard Tin's confession of them being a couple although he is quite irritated with Charles about that question of how far have they gone as a couple.
Can pinch Tin's cheek to ease the irritated look he has right now and he did what needs to be done. Immediately after that Tin glance at him before focusing on the road. Can see the smile forming on Tin's face.

Tin's POV
Charles got me back there, I was caught in surprise. From the way he deliver his words my mind keeps on thinking how to convince him that my intention for Can is sincere.
But that asshole is just pretending from the beginning! He must have planned all of this that's why he never react on those circumstances.
What can I say, Charles being Charles very unpredictable.
"Tin where are we going?"
"Say that again properly this time." I told him.
"Daddy where are we going? he said it properly this time.
I really love hearing him say that word as endearment.
"Does Leisure Park cool for you? I asked him for his approval.
"As long as you are with me I'm fine." he said straightforwardly.
I just smile at him.
We arrived at our destination after some driving.
"Did you want to eat first?" I ask Can.
"I'm still full how about you? he responded.
"Nah, I'm full just by seeing you so near me." I said and he blush.
"That will not work on me." he kiddingly said and point his finger on my cheeks.

I saw girls look at us and giggle on the sight of me and Can.
"So where to? I've never been here." Can said to me.
"We can play some arcade games and go shopping. I really don't have a plan, just want to spend time with you." I told him honestly.
"It's fine, as long as you accompany me." Can cheerfully said to me.
"So let's go little devil?"
"Yes daddy." that's it you really know how to please me.

Lucas POV
I went to Leisure Park to kill time since it is near the condo that I am staying.

While I am wandering a familiar face was caught by my eyes. It's Can, but he is not alone. He is accompanied by a guy. From the way I look at them it seems Can is teasing his companion by pointing his finger on the other guys cheeks. The two of them looks comfortable with each other not minding the glances and giggles that the audience are giving who witness their act.
"Who is he?" I told myself. The sight is too painful to behold.
"Why is Can being so sweet to him?" although the sight is distasteful to me I follow them around. Can seems oblivious of my presence because he too busy with his companion.
I hate that they are together, I hate the way they look at each other and I hate that guy for stealing Can.
No, I won't let this happen without even fighting.
I glance back at them and that guy is motioning Can to poke his cheeks again. Is he for real?

I continue with what I am doing.
Following them.
This is probably the longest day of my life and the most heartbreaking so far.
"What are you doing Can?!!" I said with irritation.
After following them for the whole time I think they finally decided to go home.
This is my chance I can finally have a word with Can, but I was wrong instead of separating the two went towards the parking lot! Don't tell me he's going to give Can a lift. With annoyance and frustration I follow them as they head for the lot.

Suddenly the other guy stop and turn around to face Can.
"Hmmm daddy?" I heard Can.
Daddy?! Ugh! So lame, why is he calling him like that?
They stop in the middle of the road looking at each other intently. I wish someone blow their car horn now. But my wish was not granted. After looking at each they proceed to the parking space.
I saw Can went to the passenger side of the car and then they left me there.
I went home after that, fish my phone and sent a text to Vince.
I thought it will be over after that but I was wrong again.
I saw someone posted a picture of them in our school group page. They practically post everything in here. Even things from other university.
The caption snap the last straw on me.

"Bremerton's Newest Flick: Ice Prince and his Sunshine"

It can't be!
9.8K reactions and thousand comments. I read the some of the comments.
"I love to ship these two!"
"The way they look at each other tells it all."
"That boy in soccer uniform rocks!"
"Look at Tin gaze the kid with admiration!"
"I heard Tin call the other boy as his little devil."
"Look! @chrlsnmrqz @cobybaby @natetan @martinvlad"
"I saw Tin kiss Can before the soccer tryouts!"
"#tinxcan"
"Can Marquez and Tin Royce"
"My friend saw these two hugging after the tryouts!" then he send a picture of Can and that Tin.

I throw my phone in my outburst.
