Tay has been sitting on the floor of New's bedroom for quite some time with the younger one still pressed closed to him. In any other circumstances, Tay would've been elated by being so close to New but at that moment not only was his heart in pieces, his torso was also starting to feel numb from the other's weight.
Tay tried to shift a little in search of comfort thereby rousing the hibernating polar bear who stirred from his sleep. New yawned and stretched his hands while Tay watched with great interest. How easy it was for New to change Tay's moods.
New opened his eyes slowly, startled by the bright sunlight seeping through the windows. He felt Tay's body go rigid when he woke up so he looked at the man beside him only to be surprised when the other was looking directly back at him.
"Hi" Tay smiled at New.
New felt his stomach churned. He looked around and realized that he must have been sleeping for a long time and Tay must be feeling hungry already. Judging from how bright the room was, he surmised that it must be nearing noon already. He languidly stood up and held his hand out to Tay to help him up, "Let's go?"
Tay took the outstretched hand and stood up but as New was about to pull away, he tightened his hold. New looked at Tay questioningly but did not dare to say a word.
"New, before we leave this room I'll just clarify some things again" Tay started "First, stop overthinking. Second, although some things have changed tonight I am still your Tay and how I treated you over the years was not a ploy to get you to be my boyfriend but because I sincerely cared about you, and lastly, I love you and I have felt this way for a long time now which is why I am already used to the fact that there's no chance that you would love me back as more than just a best friend"
Tay smiled at the frown starting to form in New's lips, "Stop frowning" He let go of New's hands and pinched both of his cheeks instead. "I'm okay. We'll be okay"
The churning in New's stomach intensified but he still tried to give Tay a reassuring smile. Tay let go of his cheeks and started for the door. New felt that he should have said something to Tay but the words evaded him.
"That's a really sad thing to get used to" New whispered to the empty room.
