Beam POV

Forth's mouth dropped as soon as he heard what I said. I took the chance to put the spoonful of food inside his mouth.

Heh! So easy to manipulate! Haha!

"What? What did you just say?" He asked after swallowing his food.

"Eat first. Say ahhh~" and he followed my command.

"Say it again?!" He asked again.

"Ahhhhh~" he ate another spoonful. "Finish this first."

“Shit!" He took the bowl from my hands and sipped the soup on the side. Bottoms up. I watched as his throat underwent persistalsis and finished the whole thing. "There! It's all gone! Now tell me what you said!"

I smiled. "I love you..." I sneaked a peck to his lips.

It's so funny because he was frozen stiff with his eyes almost bulging out. Then his knees gave away and he need to support his back on the wall.

"Hey, you okay there, Forth?" I was concerned so I touched his cheeks.

"Huh?" He responded in a daze.

“You okay?" I asked again with a smile.

"Is this real?!" He was about to slap himself but I was able to stop his hand.

"Err... I guess..." I answered and kissed him again.

“I love you too.” his mood improved and for the first time in a while, I saw him smile.

He aggressively captured my mouth and I was surprised when i felt his tears roll down his cheeks. He was sitting on the floor while I sat on his lap. Our kiss was deep, passionate, plus more... we only stopped because we were both gasping for air. We burst laughing from our hungry exchange.

Forth's demeanor became warm and started feasting on all the snacks that I brought. He started narrating some stories.

"I broke it off with Pring." He confessed. There's traces of sadness in his voice. "I realized I only wanted her for the sex and I didn't really love her.

He held my hand and looked straight in my eyes."Now, I finally know what I want, who I want, and it's you Beam."

He was holding my hand with his two hands now. His eyes watery. "I love you so much. Please leave Lam and choose me Beam. Please..."

I pulled my hand off from his grip and wiped his tears with my fingers. "Alright, to be honest, you don't have to worry. I already ended things with Lam."

He was surprised but his smile grew wider. "I ended it on the day you have a date with your girlfriend. I met with Lam to tell him that I cannot love him back because my heart has been occupied by someone else for a long time."

"Who is this guy?" His smile disappeared.

"For a long time, I knew I have feelings for this guy. Unfortunately, he only sees me as his gay neighbor. We're not even particularly close since we have different interests. I thought I'll just hide my feelings because I don't want him to get uncomfortable with me." I narrated. "But recently, we grew closer. But I guess he got fed up with all my teasing..."

"You mean..." he trailed off.

"Yes Forth, it's you. I already chose you before you even asked." I kissed him on his forehead. I clung to his arm and sat beside him on the floor. I placed my head on his shouldr and listened to his steady breathing.

In the middle of the serenity, Forth spoke again. "You know what Beam, I think I like you long before too, I just didn't think about it too much. Everytime we'll have a school event, I was excited because I'm sure to see you since you're part of the student council."
