Secretly Loving Him [MewGulf]

six

"Something? You mean, that you like me?"

"WHAT??????"

Gulf couldn't believe at what Mew has just said to him. He was saying those words without even a single trace of being surprised or the what-not on his face. Although Gulf wanted to defend himself from Mew, words are nowhere to be found. And all he can do is quickly get his  notebook back. He immediately looked at the back of his notebook so he can see up to how far does his embarrassment goes. 

"Phi, did you really see something?" Confused, Gulf asked Mew as he saw that there were no writings at the back of his notebook.

"Why? Is there something I shouldn't see?" Mew said as he looked straight in Gulf's eyes. Though it is invisible, but Gulf felt an electricity flowing from Mew's eyes to his. He was stunned for a minute and all his senses seemed to malfunction. It was not about the thought "I-caught-you,-confess-it-already"-thingy but mainly the way how he looks at him. It is just so overwhelming. And our boy is once again lovestruck. 

His heart is melting. 

Pounding.

Racing.

Rolling.

Tumbling.

"Uhh--- N-No-Nothing. Nothing." Gulf is stuttering. He is nervous. And it is very obvious. But we can't blame him especially if it is Mew, his long-time crush. After realizing something, he mustered up all his courage, ready to strike Mew with his another question. 

"And why did you say earlier that I like you? Do you have a proof? Huh? Huh?"

After knowing that there wasn't anything written on his notebook, Gulf took it as an opportunity and acted as if he was being accused of something he didn't. But we all and Gulf himself know that Mew is right. It is just that it is not a good idea to let Mew know about his feelings. 

"Uhm--" 

Mew is about to say something. That it was his experiences that told him so. He has a lot of admirers and of course, at least one of them had done this silly thing before. But Gulf has no intention of letting him to do so. He is just as embarrass as he is. There's no way he'll allow Mew to know about his little secret.

"See? You-- You shouldn't run your mouth carelessly like that. Got it?" 

And as much as he wanted to say those words as natural as he can, he just can't. How can he? If he is too nervous.

Mew was left speechless after hearing Gulf. But little do they know, the class is just looking at them argue. 

"What's going on there?" Miss Nan who finally noticed the commotion at the back asked. But there's no one willing to answer her so they just proceeded with the lesson.

"Aish. What have I done? This is SO embarrassing. The whole class was looking." said Gulf in his mind. Though he isn't voicing out his thoughts, his facial expression could clearly tell one what's he thinking about. 

Until he felt a crumpled paper ball tossing from behind him and landed in front of him. It was from Mild. 

[What the hell are you two doing?] 

[Long story.] He replied and tossed it back to Mild. 

Until another crumpled paper ball came.

[Tell me. Are we having a love story already?]

[NO!!!]  

Gulf received another crumpled paper ball but he didn't want to see another one nor reply to another one. He simply put the paper ball on his pocket and pretended to be listening to their teacher but in reality, he can't focus.
