stay away

a month

"I can't, I'm sorry mew." Was mew dreaming? He clearly heard gulf, with hope in he's heart he walked towards he's door to only reveal the darkness of the hallway, with a heavy sign he closes he's door.
Gulf hearing shuffling on the other side he sprints quietly towards he's door closing it tightly. He pounds he's head and slides he's body down the door to the floor hugging he's knees to he's chest, tears continued to fall.
"This is for the best."
The next morning gulf came down stairs hearing he's mom in the kitchen. Surprised gulf sat down at the kitchen table eyeing he's mom. She only cooked real meals when she was going to tell him something bad. Maybe there not going ahead of there marriage. Gulf smiled. He almost made a mistake last night he needed to get them out of he's house.
"Mew?" Lily called.
"Kom?" "Time to eat."
The two came out of no where mew actually sat away from gulf not making eye contact. Not knowing why it stung a bit. He looked down depressed. He's mom put the plates in front of everyone and once seated her and kom held hands and both looked at gulf and mew.
"Ok, i have something to tell you guys."
They both looked up eyeing them.
"Tomorrow your dad and i are going to America on business, with what we will make we can start planning the wedding."
"Are we going to America?" Gulf asked after taking a bite of he's breakfast.
"No you two are staying here and taking care of each other."
Gulf choked. Mew looked at gulf and rolled he's eyes.
Grabbing some water gulf looked at he's mother like she was crazy.
"Don't give me that look." " i know you two have been avoiding each other and i think this will bring you closer together."
"I don't think one month will kill either of you. Kom interjected.
Mew huffed.
" true we will make it work."
"Can't i.just stay with techno?" " i don't want to be near the homo.."
Before he could finish he's mom gave him a death glare.
"Gulf!" "He's going to be your step brother you need to stop this."
Gulf pushed himself from the table and went upstairs to he's room.
"Gulf?" Lily yelled. Kom looked after him shaking he's head.
"Ill go talk to him"
He went around to Lily and he's dad.
"Don't worry just worry on your business." Lily hugged mew.
Mew turned around and slowly went up the stairs knocking on the door no reply. Breathing in he opens the door seeing gulf packing. Gulf stops for an instance and shakes he's head pouring more clothes into the bag. Mew rolles he's eyes and grabs the bag and puts it behind him.
"Hey, Give that back."
Gulf was standing near he's bed not wanting to go to close to mew.
"Your mom said no, will a month really be that hard?"
Gulf looked towards the floor, biting he's inner lip.
"No."
That shocked mew. He was waiting for homophobic slurs or more of a fight. Mew proceeded slowly.
"What About a truce?"
Gulf looked at mew questionably.
"We both just try to Make it work for them, but just avoid each other." "Its just one month." "Deal?"
Mew has he's hand out to shake gulfs hand. He's mind was racing, should i just shake he's hand? Should i just be good? My mom is happy. Eyes darting everywhere he looked at mews eyes. They were puffy and red. Did he cry last night? Didnt he sleep?
Shrugging. Taking two steps, keeping eye contact, stopping short at mews hand.
"Just stay the hell away from me"
Gulf walked around mew.
"I'm sorry, it just has to be this way." Gulf mumbled to himself.
