Book 1: Possessive Madness (BL)

House

"Kain lang kayo dyan ha, 'wag kayo mahihiya. Feel at home." Ace's mother said before going out. We sat on the couch while Ace gave me and Sam a cup of juice.

"Dun na lang tayo sa kwarto ko magplano para hindi tayo maistorbo." Ace said. We just nodded at his suggestion. He stands up and led the way whilst Sam and I quietly followed him.

As we were walking, my eyes almost automatically roam and scanned all of the places we are passing. I kept on scanning the place, and yet, I can't seem to figure out why I am sensing a strange feeling and familiarity with the place. The hallway, the rooms, and the atmosphere and vibes the house give. 

After a while of turning corners, we finally reached Ace's room. Upon arriving, he opens the door and led the way of entering his room. Once I entered his room, an overwhelming feeling of familiarity struck me. I then felt overwhelming pain and sadness in me.

I was busy scanning the room when I felt a gentle pat on my shoulder. I look at the hands and then its owner. Sam was looking at me with a worried expression. "What?" I asked confused. He didn't reply instead he points at my cheek and then that is when I realize tears came flowing down my cheeks. I immediately wiped my tears, forced a smile, and walked towards Ace. 

"Take a seat. I'll just grab some snacks." He stated before leaving.

I faced Sam, who is now reading a book from Ace's shelf, and crossed my arms. I simply stare back and forth at Sam and the room while interpreting my feelings earlier. We were enclosed in a deafening silence when Sam closed the book he was reading and lean on the table and looked at me.

"Is there anything wrong?" 

"Hmm?"

"You seem bothered." I didn't respond and sat on the bed. He then followed me and held my hand. "Kung may bumabagabag man sa isip mo,  handa akong makinig." I looked look at him and flashed a small smile. We were in that position when Ace entered the room. He placed the snacks he was carrying on his room's center table before he went towards us.

"Let's get started." he announced then he took his laptop out of his bag and sat on the floor. Sam sat on the chair whilst I sat on a bean bag with our laptops on our lap.

"So what's going to be our house's base?" I ask.

"What if we put it in a styropor or wood?" Sam suggested.

I nodded then look at Ace who is currently typing, "Your thoughts about Sam's suggestion?" I ask him.

He looks at me before he replied, "Wood should be sturdy enough, it's ok with me." he said.

I nodded then type our base's going to be. "But don't you guys think that styropor and wood are common?" I suggest while thinking of a way to be innovative and creative.  They, simultaneously, looked at me and each other. "Good point." Sam muttered. They then began thinking of unique material to use.

After an hour of thinking, Sam then raises his hand, "I got one." He began, "What if we combine both? As far as I know, there is no other material that is stable and flexible." He said. Come to think of it, he has a good point. After that, silence took over the room.

Then out of nowhere, an idea came to my mind. "What if...we use clay?" I asked. "Clay is sturdy and flexible. It can be used as a display, a base for a pot, or any material. It can also be used as chalk if it is broken." I said. They looked at each other then back to me, then nodded.

"Where can we make that though?" Ace asked.

"Simple. We canvass. There are a lot of stores that offer that kind of service." I replied. And at this point, they nodded and agreed to the idea.
