"I have a favor to ask",he responded. Looking more hesitant than before. Ah, so this is why he's acting all concerned. He's got an ulterior motive. I sighed softly, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Ok? Let's hear it." I answered, starting to feel annoye...
"Hey, hot guy. Wake up", the annoying guy keeps tugging me.
I'm still sleepy and I don't feel well. My head is heavy, my eyes are burning, I can barely open them. I thought I answered clearly but I can hear Singto asking me repeatedly.
"Are you alright, hot guy? You're burning up."
My consciousness keeps drifting back and forth. I can't stay awake. Everytime I open my eyes, I see that annoying guy's face. Why is he so noisy? I can't understand a word he says.
Someone's touching my body. It's relaxing though. The heavy feeling in my head and my body becomes lighter. I remembered L. And the pain in my chest becomes unbearable again. My tears keeps falling, it's tiring. Then I went back to sleep.
I woke up the next morning by the aroma of freshly cooked porridge and a hot choco mocha. I got up slowly and leaned against the headboard. I dreamt last night that someone is touching my body. So I check under my blanket and confirmed that I am wearing a new set of boxers!
What the heck?! Who changed my underwear?! I was in that state when the bathroom opened.
A fresh looking lean slightly muscular Singto came out. Water still dripping from his hair as he was trying to dry them with a white towel. His lower body covered only with a towel too.
I must admit, if I was a girl I might find him hot. Andddd... What is going on in my head again?! Why am I giving him a do over?! Look away Krist! I'm losing my mind. Yes, that's it! I'm still not fully well.
"Oh, you're finally awake", he said smiling then walk towards me and touched my neck. OK, I panicked a little. He's so close. I can still smell his aftershave cream. I almost bit my lip as I run my eyes from his lips down his hips. Oh, good lord! Stop, Krist! Close your eyes!
Anyway, it's probably because I'm still not in my right state of mind.
"Good. Your fever has gone down.",he then said after confirming my temperature. I just nodded. He then put the bed tray in front of me then served the porridge and the hot choco mocha. Come to think of it, he's not all that bad after all.
"Uhm.. Did you change my boxers?",I asked hesitantly. He looked at me smirking.
"Yes, I did. You were sweating a lot so I took your pants off and underwears are almost soaking wet with perspiration. Don't worry, I closed my eyes while doing it", he grinned.
I was about to thank him...
"That doesn't mean I didn't touch anything though", he continued.
I almost choked at the porridge when I realized it wasn't a dream.
"Singto!", I exlaimed. I take back what I thought about him. He's a jerk!
"I'm just kidding.", he said in between his laughs.
"I like seeing you blush.",he said in a teasing voice.
I have no words for this kind of person. I give up trying to argue. I decided to ignore him and finished my meal.
"Don't you have classes today?",I asked, seeing that he just changed into casual clothes. He's in the same year as me in Fine arts.
"hmm.. I have. I skipped today". He answered while prepping something on his study table.
"Why?", I asked again.
"First, I have a project due tomorrow so I have to finish it today. 2nd, I've only got 2 subjects to attend to and my grades are alright. And most importantly, I have a baby to take care of.", he explained, throwing a glance at me at the last sentence, then continues making himself busy.
"Baby? Who? Me?", I asked pretending to be annoyed.
He gave me that sly look again then continued on whatever his doing on his desk. This guy is really weird.
I'm touched by his concern though. It was the first time someone skipped a class just to take care of me. Even L didn't skip a class just to take time for me. I immediately ignored the thought of her. Closed my eyes tightly to stop thinking. I leaned back and rested my head on the headboard.

Singto put the tray away. He sat down on his bed facing my direction looking serious again. I turned to him,"What is it?" I asked. He then gazes into my eyes, giving me an unsettled look.
"I have a favor to ask", he responded. Looking more hesitant than before. Ah, so this is why he's acting all concerned. He's got an ulterior motive. I sighed softly, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Ok? Let's hear it." I answered, starting to feel annoyed again. He got up and sat beside me, then took my hands while gazing into my eyes.
"Krist.." he uttered. Why does it sounded so sweet when he mentioned my name? I felt a tingling sensation as he holds my hands. I gazed back at him trying to ignore my flustered feeling.
