Petition

It was insane. I had no idea what was happening, or what in the world that guy was thinking. But it was a fight or flight situation.

Ni wala na akong oras para titigan ang lalaking iyon, tulad ng ginagawa ng iba ngayon.

Without second thoughts, I grabbed Larsen's arm and led him toward the nearest restroom, completely ditching that Ghostface.

Those stains on perfect white clothes are totally the worst. Believe me, I've been there!

"Take it off," taranta kong utos kay Larsen.

Hindi ko na inisip na nasa restroom ako ng boys. Wala rin namang ibang tao kaya hinarap ko na siya para tulungan siyang maghubad. Parang ayaw niya pa kasi atang kumilos?

"W-Wait, Aggy. I can do this," he stuttered and stepped back.

Saka ko lang natanto ang asal ko. I didn't realize I came on too strong! I was carried away when I suddenly imagined how stubborn those stains would be.

Napaangat tuloy ako ng tingin sa kanya at hilaw na napangiti.

"Okay! I'll just help you wash it."

"Huh? Uhm..." His already flushed cheeks reddened even more, that it traveled up to his ears.

Wala na siyang nasabi at bigla na lang tumalikod bago simulang magtanggal ng butones.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba nahanap ko na ang muse ng male lead ko sa katauhan niya, pero sa totoo lang, mas napupuna ko na ngayon ang similarities nilang dalawa. Parang gusto ko tuloy lumundag sa tuwa. Bagay na bagay!

And what the hell? Was he always this cute?

"You're good at this," komento ni Larsen, habang pinapanuod akong isalba ang costume niya.

I focused on rinsing the coat after rubbing off the stains, but I felt his arm touch my bare shoulder as he leaned in to inspect.

Mukhang hindi niya iyon napansin. Napaangat ako ng tingin sa salamin. Saka ko lang natanto ang pwesto naming dalawa.

In my most revealing outfit, I looked defenseless and exposed in front of Larsen, who was crouched behind me, wearing only his white sleeveless shirt.

Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nasaksihan ko siya sa ganitong postura. I couldn't help but appreciate his well-built physique.

He usually looked average on the outside. But without his conservative clothes, Larsen actually looked... strong and ripped. That took me by surprise.

Is this what they call sleeper build?

Nahuli ko sa salamin ang marahan niyang pag-angat ng tingin sa akin kaya bumagal ang pagkusot ko sa damit.

"You really are a mother material, Aggy." His voice was sweet and tender.

Larsen had said similar things before, but for some reason, I was being overly observant of him now. He appeared completely unfazed, while everything seemed off about me.

Napailing ako at pinatay na ang gripo, mahinang natawa.

"Who compliments girls like that? Do you imagine me changing diapers and packing lunches already, Lars?"

I distanced myself a bit before facing him, handing over his coat with a smirk.

"N-No, that's not what I meant!" Panic filled his voice as he took the coat from me. "If you found it offensive, I'm so-"
