Stars And Lightning

Chapter 2

"Gun?"

"Gun!?

" GUN!!!!"

Gun came back to his senses with New's loud voice. "What happened? Where's P'Off?" New asked him when he noticed that Off in not around.

Gun's lips form a very wide smile, "Newwie!!! You wouldn't believe what happened!"

New's face was filled with confusion, as far as he can remember, he left his friend here to buy food and to give Gun time to flirt with his crush. But when he came back, Off was not with Gun anymore and Gun is dazed. Did something happened while he's away?

"Newwie!" Gun held New's arm and shake him, "Off and Gun talked! You hear me? Newwie, we talked!!!"

New seem to process what Gun said. 'P'Off and Gun talked.....P'Off and Gun talked..... P'Off and Gun.....'

"YOU AND P'OFF TALKED!??" New's eyes widened when he realized what happened.

Gun dreamily put his hand on his face, "Yes. We talked. And he..." Gun's face turned red when he recalls what Off said, "He even said.... I'm cute!" Gun giggles.

"Are you sure that you and P'Off talked? You're not hallucinating or something right?"

"Of course not! We really talked!"

"Okay, fine. I just can't believe it. Imagine, you've been liking him for about.... 7 years right? Did you confessed?"

Gun's face became gloomy with what New said. He really like Off. The truth is, since the day that Off gave him his handkerchief, he felt a new strange feelings and since that day, he started to stalk Off. He follows him anywhere and he even sometimes tries to talk to Off but Off seemed aloof and distance. He may look like a creepy stalker but he doesn't care. For the past 7 years, that's all what he is doing. It seems like his day is not completed without seeing Off. At first, he thought that maybe he just want him to be his friend. But as days, months, and years passed by, he realized that he likes Off, that his feeling for Off is growing deeper. That's why he's really happy that at last, Off noticed him but he is also sad at the same time because Off acted like he doesn't remember him but that's the truth, Off doesn't even know him. He don't have the courage to confess because he knew, he doesn't have the chance....

New noticed the changes in Gun's face. He pat Gun's head trying to make him feel better. He knew what Gun is thinking. He knew that Gun don't have the courage to confess to Off. He's there ever since Gun realized his feelings for Off. He's saw everything, he saw how Gun stalk Off. He saw how Gun look at Off. He saw how Gun smile whenever he meet Off's gaze. He witnessed everything. And he felt bad for his friend. But there's nothing he can do.

"Come on! Tell me about your conversation!" New said to make the the atmosphere better and he succeeded.

"Our conversation was not even that long, it can't even be called conversation but Newwie! He said that I'm cute! Oh my gosh. Maybe he like me right? He is just in denial."

"Oho. You're delusional. Maybe you're just hallucinating!" New laughed teasing him.

"Newwie! You know what, I hate you!" Gun pouted.

"Okay. You hate me right? I'll just eat all of these food. I even bought your favorite pink milk."

Gun heard the magical word. He grinned and hugged New. "I love you Newwie. I really do!"

New acted like he's puking, "Acck. Don't touch me. After all I did earlier, you'll hate me? Huh! I left you with P'Off so that you can flirt with your crush and I even bought your favorite drink but you'll just hate me. Fine go away."

"Ohooo. I'm sorry okay. Let's eat our food. I'm so sad Newwie. Off doesn't remember me." Gun acted like he's hurting.

"Whatever. You hate me right?" New teased him.

"I'm not! I'm just kidding!"

----

3 days has passed since the day when Gun tried to make a conversation with Off. It has been 3 days since Off left Gun dumbfounded with what he said. And during the past 3 days, Gun can't sleep properly because he can't forget what happened. He's not overacting, he's just really really happy.

Gun's soul was out of the world when he heard a loud knock outside his room, "P'Gun! The breakfast is ready!". Pim said after entering his room. Since the day that Pim annoyed his brother, Gun forbid Pim from entering his room without knocking first.

"Hmmm." Gun can't function properly! He's still thinking about what happened 3 days ago and he literally feels like he is going insane!

He felt Pim moved closely and sat on his bed, "P'Gun. Is there something bothering you? It was like, you're off this past few days."

"N-no. Nothing. Let's not talk about it..."

"Are you sure?" Pim can't help herself but to worry with what's happening with her brother. She can tell that there's something bothering her brother.

"Yes. Don't worry about me." Gun smiled and reach his sister's head to tap it.

"If there's something bothering you, you can always talk to me okay?"

"Yes Ms. Little Annoying Brat."

During breakfast, Gun's mind is still circulating with the thought of Off. 'Should I confess my feelings for Off?

'But what if he don't like me?'

'But what if he like me?'

'What if he really do like me?'

'What if he don't!?'

'But am I ready to confess?'

'Ahhhhhh! What should I do!?'

Gun sigh. He really feels like he's going crazy!

"Gun? Are you okay?" Gun came back to his senses.

"A-ah. Yes Mom. I'm okay. Hehe. Do I look like I'm not? Hahaha. I'm okay. Hehe. I'm really okay.. Wait. I'm okay? Am I? I am, of course!"

Gun's Mom and his sister look at each other with confusion. "Is he okay?" Gun's mom whisper to Pim.

"I don't know." Pim whisper back.

They both look at Gun who's now staring blankly. They both got goosebumps when Gun grinned and laughed.

They both look at each other again. And it seems like they're thinking the same thing.

GUN IS NOW CRAZY!
