My Precious One

09 - Unexpectedly

The two friends stepped inside the cake shop they frequented and the delicious and sweet aroma teases the taller man instantly. Gunsmile went to the counter where he could see the different flavors of the cake that was displayed elegantly. He felt like drooling just by seeing it. For him, this was heaven.

Unlike Gunsmile who was enjoying, Krist was frowning and fidgeting on his place. When Gunsmile woke him up by the call, he thought that his phee is already home since he had already slept for long enough for whatever it was that his phee was doing. But when he got out of his room and went to his phee's bedroom, there was no one there. His mom was already home and doing some office work downstairs when he went down. Rune told him that his P'Singto was not yet home.

"Oii, Krist! Are you listening to me?" Gunsmile's whining woke him up from his stupor and his eyes blinked a couple of times before he smiled sheepishly.

Gunsmile frowned and grabbed him to one of the counters where the cakes were displayed. "Instead of you frowning and spacing out, why don't we buy a cake now? Then we could sit in there and while I am eating this deliciously man made heaven, you can space out all you want. So how is that? Sounds good for you?"

Krist hits his friend's arm and pouted. "You're really a meanie, Gunsmile."

"I am not. I'm just hungry," Gunsmile rubbed the sore spot that had been hit and looked at the cake dreamily.

"That's really funny! The angel Krist was being chased by a broom and was being accused of stealing someone's boyfriend?" Gunsmile laughed whilst holding his stomach and Krist pouted. While eating the cake, he told his best friend what happened after he ran away and what he got as a response was being teased by his so called best friend.

"Stop laughing, Gunsmile! You might choke on your food." He continued pouting because Gunsmile did not stop laughing and like what he said, the taller man choked. He abruptly stood up and ran towards Gunsmile's side. He patted the taller man's back until his coughing subsided. Gunsmile grabbed a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Gunsmile sighed when he finally regained his breathing. He turned his head to his side where Krist was and found the smaller man trying to stifle his laughter. He glares at the smaller man and just that, the both of them laughed at their silliness.

After eating, the two decided to stroll the mall for a while just to let what they ate digest. They were chatting happily until Krist suddenly halted on his steps.

"I need to go home, Gunsmile. P'Singto might be at home now," he said, biting his lower lip, a habit he has when he's thinking or worried of something.

"So what if he's home? Why do you need to be home too?" Gusmile inquired with raised eyebrows. He didn't get the point.

Krist puffed his cheeks at his friend's response. "I need to make sure he'll sleep right away. He hasn't slept yet since he searched for me all night." He looked down and Gunsmile knew that he felt guilty for it. The taller man took a deep breath and poked the smaller man's forehead with his index finger. Krist raised his hand and put it on his forehead while staring at his friend, looking dumbfounded with his mouth slightly opened and eyes blinking innocently.

"Let's go then. I'll take you home," Gunsmile told his friend calmly who stood there, blinking his eyes at him. After a second, Krist beamed and the both of them made their way to the exit.
