Chapter 5: He Knows

It was mid september already and the students already started to do regular classes. Tatsu was doing well and suprisingly,  his introduction went well, better than he expected actually. Knowing himself as an extremely awkward person who stutters alot. Especially when Amy is around, he just can't focus on anything else but her.

After classes were dismissed, Tatsu made his way to the library to complete his assignments and just spend some time there alone.

But little did he know, Octave was on his way there too. He was carrying a pile of papers and a bag hanging on one of his shoulders.

As soon as Tatsu sensed Octave's presence, he hid his face with the book he was reading but unfortunately Octave found him.

"Oh hi Tats." Octave greeted him almost whispering, since they were in a library after all.

"Hi." Tatsu replied coldly.

"What are you doing here so late?" Octave asked looking concerned.

"Just completing my assignments so I don't have to do them when I reach home." he said.

"Oh ok... you seem so, distracted today. Anything wrong?" Octave asked with a concered look on his face.

"None of your business." Tatsu replied coldly again.

"Aww c'mon. I'm your bestfriend you can tell me anything." Octave tried to convince him.

"It's a secret. I don't want to tell you. What are you doing here anyway?" Tatsu replied.

"Well, I'm here to do this performance task that our professor assigned our group." Octave answered.

"Why are you doing it alone then?" Tatsu looked at the papers on his side of the table.

"My groupmates are crappy as hell, they depended on me and now I have to carry them." Octave rolled his eyes out of frustration.

"Want me to help you?" Tatsu gave him a warm smile.

"Aww man." Octave put his hand over his heart.

Just after they finished doing their schoolworks, they went on their separate ways.

Octave still hasn't got over with the expression Tatsu was making earlier, so he decided to give him a text.

After Tatsu changed to his pajamas and crashed to bed after eating ramen for dinner, his phone vibrated, he thought it was Amy again but it wasn't.

Tatsu was shocked the moment Octave sent that message. He almost dropped his phone on his face. His jaw dropped as if Octave just read his mind.
