Stuck On You [Completed]

Chapter 9. Lunch

Chapter 9.

"Why?" Gulf asked masking his true feelings inside, but he didn't notice that he is gripping the spoon hard, showing some veins from his right hand.

"Why? Why am I pestering you?" Mew replied innocently. He started the act that he planned in case Gulf would ask this kind of question.

"Hmm. You're not going to do those things without a reason, Mew." The other man tried to act normal and eat his lunch slowly while listening to Mew.

"I think you already forgot about this, but you and I became classmates during our 10th grade.  I really wanted to be friends with you back then but there's something on you that is pushing me away." Mew started to tell the story.

Gulf is still looking down to his food and not planning to look up. But the last statement got him confused.

Mew saw Gulf frowned his eyebrows so he explained further.

"I mean, when I was talking to you, you were always answering but it feels that you don't really want to talk. And when I am near you, you seem to not noticing me like you don't want me around you." Mew added enjoying the sight in his front.

Gulf didn't know what to do on his seat after hearing what Mew said.

"Don't murder the vegetables Gulf." Mew said while chuckling. He can't help from smiling to how Gulf act right now.

"Ha? Don't smile and keep talking!" Mew just laughed silently at the man who's still frowning while unconsciously pouting his lips.

"Haha! You're so cute." He unconsciously said loud.

That made Gulf stiffed and looked at Mew with unbelievable eyes. Mew then realized what he said and changed the topic immediately.

"Uh, forget what I said. *cough* Back to the topic. Since you are here again, I want to be friend with you but I don't know how to approach you so I came to that idea. Fuck! I'm so lame."

Mew said and drank his mango juice after. He felt thirsty after so many lies he told. The truth is he wants more that friends but that can wait. If waiting will keep Gulf near him, he is more that willing to do that.

Gulf then felt enlighten after he heard that Mew still want him to be his friend. He sees it as an opportunity to know the man more and observe if he will have a chance on him.

Maybe this friendship will help me to gather my courage of confessing my feelings towards him.

Gulf really sees Mew as straight as a ruler so his courage is sinking, this kind of feeling is never easy. Confessing is never easy because you have to take a lot of risk, specially the fact that the society will have a big impact, that made it more harder.

"Hmm. If that's the case, we can be friends. I think you are a good company." Gulf said fighting his smile. He just made his face flat and stop frowning so Mew will feel comfortable.

"Thanks for that." Mew said and smiled genuinely while looking at Gulf's eyes directly.

Gulf can't get his eyes away from Mew's smiling face. That made his heart thumped hard so many times.

Why are you like this Mew? Give my heart peace, even just for my sanity!

After that topic, the two talked about other things and when time lands at one pm, Mew forced himself to end the lunch even if he doesn't want to.

He has errands that he needed to attend. He still smiled till they part ways as a sign that he is happy.

His happiness is engulfing him to the point that he can't stop smiling until he came to talk to his father.

Both of his older brother and his father can notice Mew's mood. They rarely have time to gather and have a family time. The two elders are always busy with their businesses and Mew is always left alone. It would still be warm if his mother is still alive but he can't bring back the time.

Gulf went home with a wide smile plastered on his face. The happiness is overflowing to the point that he did an advance reading in almost all of his book that he found very hard to do in his usual days.

He even made a journal for this day and dedicated a sheet of paper containing a letter of confession for Mew.

If he can't tell Mew, he will just write it and keep it to himself instead. It's gay but he's happy, so who cares?

A week passed and semester just ended. Everyone became busy for the exams and now that exams are done, they are all back to their happy selves.

For a week that passed, the two became close, they seem to enjoy comfort from each others company and would grab the opportunity to be together when they have time. Even their own friends are noticing it.

"Let's hang out!" Vaian shouted as they walk out of their building. The three are planning about what to do this night.

"Yeah, I am missing girls since Monday." Hanu agreed to Vaian  and the two then talked about the bar and the girls that they want to see tonight. Mew just shrugged as he already have a plan for tonight.

"Hey, hop in!" Mew said as he stopped his car beside Gulf who is waiting for him in front of his condo building.

The two planned to sleep over in Mew's house and drink some beer to relax. After Mew invited Gulf, as usual Gulf didn't grab the invitation that fast.

He loves making things long, and accepting Mew's offer quick will make him look like he wanted to be with the man and that will make him gay. So its a big no for him.

"Nice car, dude!" Gulf happily said as he enter the passenger seat. He can't hide his smile knowing that he will spend the night with the man he wants to be with for how many years 'til now.

"Your condo is near from mine." Mew said while starting the engine, he can't look at Gulf because the other man looks so attractive in his clothes. He's afraid that he might stare at the other man and make the atmosphere awkward.

"That's cool though, so I can drop by anytime when I want to." Mew added with a smile and glanced at Gulf who seem to find the thought a good idea for the both of them.

After the conversation, the two enjoyed the silence while the car drove to Mew's house. Each has thoughts lingering in their minds.

What will happen if I go to his place and even sleep beside him? I'm excited, will I know him more this time?

Hope I can prevent myself from doing something to him later. Well, if he don't tempt me...
