It Will End In A Kiss

Clear Things Up

(BLU)

I took Robin to the nearest secluded place I know. Beside the grotto in our school. A statue of our patron, St.Anne, and a cemented image of the Virgin Mary are our only companions in this place.

I let go of Robin's wrist and faced him. I saw other students meters away noticing and looking at us but no one is coming close.

Those photos and the rumors surrounding Robin and I are getting bigger and bigger as the minutes pass. Already, three students has approached me this morning to ask if I am a drug dealer and if I can sell them some drugs.

I am now worrying if I should report those students to our headmaster.

Then more students approach to confirm if I am Robin's "boyfriend". I ran away from them. I cannot answer that question because...well, I have no words to use to answer them.

That's why I need to speak to Robin before things get more out of control. Before it became too late, I have to make one thing clear to Robin.

"Never admit to anyone that we are living together," I said.

Robin frowned at me, "Did you read the rumors on the students chat room? They are thinking I am on drugs and you are my dealer. Or that we are fucking each other. Or worse...in love!"

Yeah. That's the worst rumor ever. Students assuming that Robin and I are in a serious love relationship. That's disgusting because I am not even sure yet if I like Robin as a human being. It's true that he is a rude jerk.

I don't like rude jerks like him.

And besides I am straight.

But still...

"I would rather let them think whatever they want. But I don't want them knowing that we are living together," I said stubbornly.

"Why?" Robin frowned at me.

"Why?" I cannot believe he is asking this question. "Do you have any idea how many people around here have a crush or interested at you? Hundreds, Robin. Hundreds..."

"And?" Robin still doesn't get it.

I think he is just being obtuse at this point. Or stupid. Either way he is annoying me again.

"And once they know that I am living with you, they will swarm around me to ask about you!" He made me spell it out. "You will ruin my life if you will reveal to everyone our close proximity at each other."

Robin chuckled humorlessly. "Ruin your life? That fast? You are being too dramatic, Blu."

I took a step closer to him to give him a dead serious stare. "Am I, Robin? Am I being too dramatic? Tell me, what will you feel if someone shy and introvert like me who usually doesn't know what to say to other people, suddenly became too popular and sought after that people swarm around me. I will fumble, I will rumble, I will rabble and babble and POP!" I clapped my hands in front of Robin's surprised face. "I accidentally let things like your well lit room and ajar door slip from my mouth..."

Robin froze. I nodded at him. "It will be a disaster for the two of us. Right?" I want him to agree with me. I don't want my life to be ruin. I don't want to make a mistake and ruin Robin's life with mine. I want people to leave me alone. I need Robin's cooperation for that to happen.
