E10 • SEX WITH THE MOON AND STARS WATCHING

Merry Christmas everyone!

•••

It was almost two days that Kenzo was waiting patiently for Chicago to gain consciousness. But until to this day, Chicago was still soundly sleeping. And sometimes he would break down.

He was taking all the blame of why it all happened to Chicago but he was hiding it perfectly before the eyes of two people he was living with. Sylvie and Lamar had no idea what kind of anxiety was troubling Kenzo as he sat on the sofa calmly watching Chicago.

Bigla na lamang lumapit si Sylvie kay Kenzo. Nakahawak pa rin ito sa kamay ni Chicago. Taimtim na nanalangin na gumising na ito.

"Please wake up already." He whispered to himself when Sylvie touched him on his shoulder.

"Son?...." bakas sa tono ni Sylvie ang pag-aalala, "You can rest for a moment. I will take over."

But Kenzo just smiled, "No, it's okay. I slept for a couple of hours awhile ago."

"Couple of hours? You mean, those two hours within this day?" Sylvie asked shaking her head, "You should take care of yourself first before you get to take care of others."

Nais na sanang mag-amen ni Kenzo sa sinabing iyon ni Sylvie ngunit wala siyang gaano lakas para tumawa. Maybe Sylvie was right. He has to rest first.

So he stood up from his seat, and when Sylvie was about to take his heat, he remembered Lamar when his eyes laid on the shut door to Lamar's bedroom.

"It has been days already also. Why isn't he coming out of that room yet?" Kenzo asked and then turned his head to the direction of Lamar's bedroom.

Napabuntong-hininga na lang si Sylvie but when Kenzo turned to her, she quickly wore a smile and answered, "It's nothing. Maybe he's also exhausted."

That got Kenzo a little confused but he lets it go eventually.

"Please keep your eyes on him." Huling paalala ni Kenzo.

"I won't do anything bad to him. I'm not a monster." And then Sylvie bursted into a wicked laughter.

Napa-iling na lang si Kenzo habang nakangiti.

As soon as Kenzo got into the guest room, Lamar immediately went out of his bedroom and slowly walked to the living room. His mom, Sylvie, was in shock when she saw her son come out of the room finally after a few days.

But Sylvie just stayed silent as Lamar drew himself closer enough to watch Chicago in deep sleep. His eyes instantly well when they laid on the beautiful creature unconscious.

"I'm going out for a while." He said to his mom.

Sylvie could see the pain in his son's face but he didn't make any more fuss. She just nodded and let Lamar go out.

And so Lamar did.

After an hour or so, he returned home and sat by the porch where a hammock chair was situated. He got into that and let himself be submerged in the peace of nature.

"You still look the same." Lamar almost jumped when he heard a familiar voice sweet to his ears. And when he cocked his head to the direction, his eyes would almost come out in shock. He jumped out of the hammock and hugged Chicago.

"Ahh." Chicago hissed in pain when Lamar tightened his hug more but then he just let the man do what he wants.

They pulled away from each other eventually and sat almost face-to-face.

"Whenever I see hot air balloon, I remember you." Chicago uttered. "Remember when we were on college and we would always attend Yi Peng Festival yearly in Thailand?"
