Look Beside You (Completed)

Chapter 19

“92” Copter said to himself as he put another shell to his bag.

Before Kimmon invades his mind again, Copter figured he should keep himself busy. And collecting shells was just the perfect thing to do.

“Copter!”

Copter heard someone calling his name, and judging by how the voice sounded so sweet and familiar, Copter knew that it belonged to the last person he wanted to see right now.

“Copter!”

“That lunatic! I told him to stay away from me!” Copter whispered under his breath and started to run away.

Copter ran away like his life depended on it but as usual, Kimmon caught up.

“I told you…” Kimmon started while catching his breath. “…I can easily catch up with you because of your short legs.”

“Seriously! I haven’t seen a soul more annoying than you!” Copter shouted as he tried to break free from Kimmon’s grip. “What do you want?”

Kimmon gazed intently into Copter’s eyes and made the smaller one feel uncomfortable.

Copter wished they could lovingly stare at each other for a long time as if they were lovers that had no problems at all. But he knew that was impossible to happen.

“Are you here to hurt me again?” Copter spoke softly and turned his eyes to the ground.

“I bailed on my longtime crush for you, for your information.”

Copter’s forehead creased as his eyes went back to Kimmon’s. “Tee?”

“Who else.” Kimmon answered. “Let me rephrase what I said. I bailed on my ex-crush for you.”

Copter was getting more and more puzzled by the second and Kimmon’s gaze wasn’t helping at all. “What are you trying to say?”

Kimmon let go of Copter and ran his fingers through his hair, forcing all of his brain cells to think of the perfect words to say.

“I know I said I just happened to be there when you needed someone to comfort you…” Kimmon started and wiped the beads of sweat that were forming on his forehead. “truth is… I want to be always there for you. When you’re sad, when you’re mad, when you’re happy, when you’re hungry, when you’re bored, I want to be always there for you… I want to always stay by your side.”

Kimmon saw Copter’s ears getting red and he couldn’t help but smile. Copter’s cute expression was somewhat giving him courage and he had no idea how. “I was scared to admit it at first, but then someone who’s about ten years younger than me kept on calling me a coward. So here I am.”

Kimmon fought the urge to do a victory dance for successfully telling Copter how he feels. Kimmon felt like exploding but the little guy in front of him just stood still.

“So…” Copter finally spoke. “…are you saying you like me too?”

“The heck Copter. Were you not listening?”

Copter watched the taller one pinch the bridge of his nose and walk away with heavy steps while muttering: “I used up all my brain cells for that amazing impromptu speech and you still don’t get it.”

Copter’s feet were frozen as Kimmon walked farther and farther from him. But after a few seconds, Kimmon turned around and ran back to Copter.

As Kimmon got back to him, he immediately shouted: “Yes I like you, you idiot! Tsk! I thought you were smart…”

Copter’s knees were getting weak and when he stepped back, he lost his balance. Luckily, Kimmon had quick reflexes and held Copter firmly. And that’s when the two got lost in each other’s eyes.

They stared at each other for the longest time until Copter broke the silence between them.

“I have a feeling we should kiss…”

Copter was shocked at himself for saying that but what he was more shocked about was Kimmon not getting shocked at all. Instead, he saw the taller one smirk at him.

“Really? I don’t.”

Copter’s eyes widened and felt his cheeks heat up very quickly. He just wanted to suddenly disappear but that was impossible and so he immediately walked away.

But before he could get any farther, Kimmon grabbed Copter’s hand.

“I’m kidding. Come here.” Kimmon said and pulled Copter closer. “Are you sure you feel like kissing right now?”

Copter’s eyes were fixed on Kimmon’s and didn’t know what to answer.

“Are you sure you can take it, little guy?”

Copter swallowed and closed his eyes in reply. And that was all the answer Kimmon needed. Kimmon knew that Copter’s face was always cute, probably the cutest face he’s ever seen, but Kimmon had to admit, Copter’s face was cutest up close. Especially when anticipating a kiss was written all over his face.

Slowly, Kimmon placed his other hand on Copter’s face and leaned closer. Then finally, Kimmon’s lips landed on Copter’s. Kimmon’s lips were soft and sweet just like how Copter imagined it to be. Kimmon kissed Copter gently, making Copter melt with every passing second.

The sun was already setting and the two had missed it.

Before Copter would explode, he slowly pulled his lips away.

The two were rapidly and heavily breathing. Their hearts beating loudly in unison. Copter’s eyes were still on Kimmon’s lips and he wanted more. Kimmon too. But Copter averted his eyes to the beach and covered his blushing face with his forearm.

“I knew you couldn’t take it.” Kimmon said with a smirk and ruffled Copter’s hair.

“Shut up.”

Kimmon pulled Copter back to his arms and embraced the little guy. Copter couldn’t help but hug back. The taller one felt so warm that Copter wanted to stay in his arms forever.

“Let’s stop running away from each other.” Copter heard Kimmon say and the little guy nodded in reply.
