We are better than this...(Amephil book 2)

Leaning

Narrator POV:

Timor Leste was walking back at the cabin looking around admiring the background in front of him until he heard chattering from around the corner but it was being covered up by a large rock making him not see the ones who are chattering.

it made him feel extremely curious because the other voice sounds so familiar to him so he can't help but got close and leaned himself on the giant rock and took a sneaky peek from the other side.

his eyes widen a little when he saw China and Malaysia sitting side by side on a log...

their expression is hard to see because there back is facing Timor and how dark it is but he can hear the dialog clearly.

"you know...i miss you"

he heard china sincerely admit "very ironic since I tried to stop missing you" he chuckled but it was filled with sorrow...

Malaysia only chuckled warmly and looked at him and Timor can finally see his expression...

he looks....sad but yet he held a smile...like he saw Philip when he admitted people are sometimes right about him.

"we're not together any more china" Malay spoke softly shaking his head while looking down at the ground "forget about our relationship...its already over" Malay didn't say it with anger or any resentment but yet he sounded like he genuinely wants china to forget about them.

Timor felt his eyes widen in shock from this open revelation to him but he stayed quiet.

"what about you?" Malaysia's eyes glinted towards the Chinese right next to him "do you want to forget that...we used to be together?" Malay only stared at him with broad eyes but he slowly eases down...

"I didn't mean it that way" Malaysia shook his head "there's no doubt will forget it easily" china lowered his head down feeling soothed by Malaysia's voice.

"I...just want this awkwardness to disappear around us," he confesses with such genuine that it made china chuckled lightly but...sadly.

"I'm sorry..." Malaysia looks at him with a calm forgiving smile "its already done Xing...all we can do now is...move on" Malaysia shrugged trying to calm down the depressing atmosphere.

"do we have to avoid each other?" China questioned with a little hope, Malaysia giggled and shook his head once again "no..." he answered restfully "even if we used to be together and splitting up...it doesn't mean I should despise you" china's eyes widen by the unexpected answer he has gotten.

"I know things are going to be okay because I know...I want us to be friends again like we used to" china felt his shoulder lowdown a little but not because there aren't going to be together again but yet his heartfelt calm again feeling something so heavy weighted of his chest.

"I would love that" he grinned at the Malaysian accepting his faith, Malaysia looks back with a beaming smile.

"who wouldn't?"

Timor stopped listening going back to reality, he stepped back from the large rock still feeling surprised and in shock on what he witnessed.

his not angry nor anything negative his just...surprise.

he looks back at the large rock and tried to walk away ignoring what happens but he froze when he heard his name being called.

"Timor?"

Malaysia called out stunned while china is leaning towards the huge rock staring at them.
Timor looks back at him still in shock "heyyyyy Malay" he smiled apprehensively, Malay raised a brow at him.
