the (boy) gay next door

06: OKAY

5 days later...
As sun rises, Vice woke up feeling his heart sting. Still cant get over Ion's sudden change and cold treatment. He roughly had a good sleep, thinking all night about how possibly could he do wrong to make his friend treat him like he didn't exist?

He took a deep breath before he do his morning ritual.

While having his breakfast, he heard knocks from outside. He thought it was Ion so he immediately went to the door to open it for him and welcome his friend that he missed for god knows how much.

There goes his heart, beating so fast that he hears every beat and thump of it. How could it beat so fast when he just saw Ion standing there, right in front of him. Once again bringing him snacks. Is this another dream? Then he don't want to wake up ever again.

"H-hi," Ion spoke so soft and his head low.

"Im so sorry for acting so cold and being a jerk for almost 2 weeks. Its just... I don't really know whats happening to me." He confessed, gasp escaping Vice's mouth.

"Its-its okay! Would you like to talk about it, hmm?" Ion smiled by the offer. They sat down, not even staring at each other's gaze.

"U-uhm where do I start?" Its like Ion questioned himself.

"So... the past few weeks I've been gone, I tried figuring out myself. I tried to connect dots and see what really is happening to me. And to be honest, I still yet don't get any answers. Its just, every time we get to cuddle and be close to each other... my breath started to hitch, my cheeks turning red, my heart thumping faster than ever. I thought I was allergic of you because that exact same things happened over and over and over again when Im with you. I don't even know how to explain everything I feel into words. I don't want to jump into conclusions that I might like you because I-i am straight, not a gay. Im also not sure if that 'like or crush' thing has something to do with whats happening to me when your around and so close to me." Ion explained. Vice was left... speechless. It was tmi for him, he was so overwhelmed by the latter's confession. And to be honest enough, he was out of words, he cant even think straight, he didn't know what to say nor to do so kept silent for a little more while.

"I didnt know you were feeling that way, y-you should have told me so I can help you!" Vice whined and Ion chuckled.

"Dont worry about it too much, bub. Gon be fine" and he winked.

Vice's cheeks turned red and suddenly the awkward atmosphere turned into a light one.

They both thought about the other's confession.

Isn't Ion in loved?
