A Coward Crush

Still Bright

Win just kept staring at the naked man in his bed, not knowing how to feel. He wasn't panicking anymore as he had managed to calm himself down and he knew he had try to and understand the situation. There had to be a perfectly logical explanation as to why there was a naked man in his bed.

And where was Bright? The koala had been lying peacefully in his arms last night and he would never leave the bed before Win did. He looked around briefly, making sure the koala wasn't in the vicinity but there was no signs of him. Win frowned a bit, feeling worried. It could be that Bright was hungry or something but he usually waited for Win to wake up too.

*Wait... Bright?*

Win felt like he was on the verge of a breakthrough and he quickly inspected the face of the other male in his bed. For some reason, he didn't understand himself. He wasn't shocked to see that he recognized the naked man. It was Mike's best friend, Bright.

*So Bright the koala is now gone and now there is Bright the human in my bed.*

He stared out into thin spaces as he began putting the two things together, feeling some sort of realization slowly entered him.

*Wait, they are the same, aren't they? But how is this possible?*

And then he felt the urge to smack his head or at least smack a certain someone's face. There could only be one explanation.

*God damn it, Mike Chinnarat!*

Bright groaned slightly and squirmed, feeling a bit disappointed when he didn't feel arms wrapped tightly around him. Win must have gotten up already. He let out a light sigh and buried  his head in the soft pillow but his movements stilled as he realized something.

Something felt different. He moved his arms and lifted his head. His eyes widened. He was so used to see furry arms but that was not the case. His arms had no fur. They were human arms. He panicked, wondering whether he had transformed back before Win left or after. He hoped for the for the after.

He quickly sat up and nearly fell off the bed as he noticed that Win was there too, sitting there and staring at him. All hopes to disappear before Win had seen him, vanished.

"Win, I can explain." Bright hastily said. He winced at hearing his own voice, he hadn't heard it or so long and it felt weird.

Win just waved his hand and shook his head. "No need, I think I got the picture here, at least most of it." He paused, then looked at Bright in the eyes. "Mike, right?"

Bright nodded his head, just uttering Mike's name seemed to be the explanation for most things. Apparently Bright was the only one who had never noticed there was something weird with Mike and he lived with him. Bright probably needed to start paying attention to the world around him.

"So." Win started, going a bit closer and looking at him curiously. Bright leaned  backward a bit as he tried to keep a little distance, eyes fixed on Win's face that was a bit too close for comfort. "Tell me, how did Mike do it?"

Bright gulped loudly, he didn't like the thought of speaking in front of Win. What if he said something stupid? He wished so badly that he could just run away but he knew the other deserve an explanation.

"Uh..." Bright gulped loudly again, staring at Win's face that was filled with curiosity and anticipation. "He said that he is a wizard."

Win, who had leaned quite close as he waited for the answer straightened his back and slammed his fist into his palm. "I should have known it! A wizard! That explains so much."
