Saudade [KaoEarth]

I still remember how our first date was like.

How effort you were that time.

Just to allure me,

and to grasp on you.

How could someone resist a person like you, Mu?

You're precious.

How can I forget it?

"Kao, please. Let's have our first date!" Earth said as he brisk walked catching Kao up. Kao walked fast as he could without knowing where he's going. "Kao!" Earth said while he catches his breath. When Kao noticed it, he stopped walking and slightly checked on Earth. When Earth saw that Kao stopped he smiled brightly and run towards him. Kao was a bit late with his reflex and Earth caught him and grabbed his hand. Earth turned Kao around and made Kao look at him.

"Please! I really want to have a date with you!" Earth said as he pouted. Kao didn't say anything and just stared at Earth without showing any signs of emotions. Earth brightly smiled and said, "Silence means yes, Kao!" Earth said. Kao was about to say something but Earth interrupted him. "You cannot reject it anymore!" Earth teased. Kao sighed for a moment letting Earth see it. "Did you just---" Earth didn't finish with his talking because he covered his mouth. He is shocked.

"Wh---" Kao didn't finish with his talking. "I told you, you cannot reject it anymore!" Earth said as he laughs. Kao sighed again. "Where?" Earth stopped laughing when Kao spoke. "What did you just say?" Earth said as he walked closer to Kao which made Kao leaned back. "You heard it. Why would I repeat it?" Kao said. Again, Earth smiled. Kao didn't speak and just stared at Earth. Earth picked something from his pocket, a piece of paper. He gave it to Kao and Kao just stared at the paper and then looked at Earth. "Seriously!" Earth exclaimed and grabbed Kao's hands and handed the piece of paper. "See you later, Kao!" Earth smiled as he waved his hand good bye. Kao stared at Earth for as long as Earth's shadow faded. Kao stared at the piece of paper.

'Should I go?' Kao thought to himself.

Kao arrived at the said address. It's a big wooden and traditional house that's surrounded by mostly green plants. He hesitates to push the doorbell. His finger is already pointing towards the button but he suddenly removed. 'I shouldn't go here in the first place' Kao thought to himself as he scratches his head. 'I think I should go.' Kao said but his body cannot move. His mind wants to walk away but his body cannot function well.

"Kao!" A familiar voice called Kao's name. It's Earth. Kao tried to move but Earth catches up and grabbed Kao's arms and dragged inside the house. "Is this your house?" Kao asked as Earth drags him. Earth looked at him and casually said, "Yes" Kao stopped and Earth cannot pull him. "Why?" Earth asked as he pouted. "My parents are not home. They already knew that I like you." Kao was stunned how Earth casually said it. Kao tried to reclaim himself. Earth dragged Kao inside of their house and brought him to his room.

"Oh! Before I forgot! You wear this, Kao!" Earth said and waved a handkerchief. Earth was about to put it in Kao's eyes when Kao subtly pushed Earth's hands. "Wear it please. I won't do anything to you." Earth sincerely reassured Kao. Kao didn't say anything and just stared at Earth. "Silence means yes!" Earth brightly said and smiled. Earth covered Kao's eyes using the handkerchief. Earth held Kao's hands and led the way to his room. Kao didn't say anything and just follow along. Kao heard Earth opened the door. "Are we here yet?" Kao said. Earth let Kao hands go as he help removed the handkerchief. When the handkerchief was removed, the first thing that Kao saw was Earth's face smiling at him. He started to notice Earth's background. It has a projector, snack, perfectly arranged bed and some lights. The room was dark but the light from the projector dominated the room. Kao paused for a minute and scanned the room. He looked at Earth smiling at him. "Let's go!" Earth said and grabbed Kao's hands and went to the bed. Earth starts to check the movie. Kao just stared at him and Earth noticed it so he smiled. "What do you want, Kao?" Earth asked.

"Anything" Kao said. 'Anything that will make you happy, Earth.' Kao thought on his mind.

Now tell me,

How can I forget it?
