It all started after that. Mew promise himself that he would do anything to come in a good terms with Gulf. Maybe as friends since he doesn’t know how long they will be together in this house. Isn’t it nice to live with someone you get along with? And for them to get along, he needs Gulf’s forgiveness with that stupid thing he did. He feels like he wants to slam his head (HARD) on the wall every time he remembers that.

The first thing he did was to wake up early for morning breakfast. Gulf and his dad are always eating breakfast together. The only time they didn’t was probably the morning after something happened with them. So, Mew decided to wake up early although it is REALLY HARD.

“Oh. You’re early today. Going somewhere?” His father asked as he soon as he saw Mew walking to the table to have breakfast.

“Just for a change.” Mew replied. His eyes quickly went to Gulf who’s sitting across him, like the first time they met.

“And no, I’m not going anywhere. I don’t actually have plans today.” Mew actually have only one plan: to get along with Gulf. And that’s the only plan he has for as long as Gulf is here.

“You’ve been here for a few days now. You must be bored by now.” Sure, just few days and he already fucked it up, Mew thought.

“That’s why I’m thinking of bringing Gulf to watch movie today.” Shoot. A fucking chance. Never in his life he imagined that he needs to eliminate his dad for a moment, until now.

“You’re not working today?” Please, just said yes and go to work. Mew never prayed really hard in his life.

“I am. The reason why I’m asking if you’re going out today is because I’m thinking if Gulf can borrow your car?” Yes.

“I’ll drive him there.” That gets Gulf’s attention to Mew.

“It’s okay P’. I can just-“

“It’s fine. I’m not going anywhere anyway. Might as well go there.”

“Great. Enjoy your day, okay? I’m going first.” Mew’s father finished his breakfast and left. Leaving them alone, together.

---

This is so awkward, Mew thought. His father left them alone. To think that it’s what he wanted a moment ago…

“Last night… about the flowers...” Gulf is the first one to break the silence. And to be honest, Mew is really surprised because he thinks that Gulf is not the type to strike a conversation with anyone. But the thing is, thinking about the flowers that he gave Gulf is causing him to panicked for some reason.

“Ah! I don’t really know much about flowers so I just-“ 

“Thank you.” What? “I really like it.” Then Gulf smile at him... a little. BUT STILL, GULF SMILE AT HIM. Mew feels like he hit a jackpot.

“I don’t know a guy who actually like flowers... You’re the first. So, I’m actually worried about giving you flowers. It’s a relief you like it. When did it start?”  Now Mew wants this to go smoothly. Maybe it’s his chance to talk to Gulf a little bit longer than their previous talks.

“What?”

“You liking flowers? I mean, it’s a bit unusual for a guy to take interests in flowers.”

“My dad likes flowers.”

“Ohh. Wow.. Your house must be full of flowers then. Can’t blame you though. Isn’t flowers makes you feel relax?” Nope. But Mew remembers Puifai said that once. Must be true.

“Yes… But you look like you don’t like them when we last talk about them.” Shoot. Mew didn’t think he was being obvious. Okay. This is a problem. Mew needs to be on Gulf’s good side. He needs to fucking defend himself.
