Wyatt's Point of View

Why did Aiden go to school today? He was obviously still feeling sick. Did he force himself to go even though he knew he was not feeling well? I'm concerned but I don't want to approach him. After what happened at the bar, I know that his perspective towards me changed.

I just want Danica to stay away from Aiden. That's why I kissed her. I don't want her near him, not because I like her and I'm jealous. It's because I only want myself to be near Aiden and no one else. I don't want anything special in his life besides me and his family. They know nothing of Aiden’s life so they have no right to approach him. Only me... It has to be only me.

Yesterday when he did not go to school I secretly went to his condo. I never woke him up because I didn’t want him to see me, he might say I was interfering with his life. I knew he was pointing differently when he told me, "We all have privacy. That's your life so why would I interfere?" But still, it hurts my feelings.

[Flashback/Yesterday]

I gasped as I arrived at Aiden’s condo. When the class had just started and I didn't see him in his chair, I immediately felt that he might not feel well.

I sighed as I watched Aiden sleep. He was wrapped in a blanket and his face was red. When you also touch his skin, it is as if you are holding hot water because of the extreme heat of his body. Haa, how could the heat not go away from his body if he was wrapped in a blanket? Tsk. Tsk.

I slowly removed the blanket from him. I went out of the room to get water and a swab. When I returned to his room, I got some clothes that he could change into. After that, I undressed him and wiped his body then I dressed him in new clothes.

I stayed there for a few more minutes while just watching him. When I thought about leaving, I went back to school.

Before the whole class was over I left immediately. At 7 PM I arrived at Aiden’s condo. When I arrived the room was dark and he still looked like he was sleeping. When I turned on the light, there was no sign of any food. Hasn’t he been eating since morning? What time is it, huh? Aish. I can't buy his food and leave it here when I leave for him to eat when he wakes up, because I'm still the first to come to his mind who gave it.

Aish.

I went into his room and took his temperature. I just clicked my tongue when I saw it was still high. I can't stay here long because he might wake up.

I immediately took off his clothes, wiped his body again with fresh water and a towel and then changed his clothes.

"Please, get well soon," I whispered as I caressed his face. I took a deep breath, "I missed you." I uttered before I kissed him on his cheek.

[End of Flashback]

7:30 PM the whole class is over for the day. While walking down the hallway with Jacob, Yuan and Hans I saw Aiden and Regie walking together.

I immediately frowned and stopped walking for a moment.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Yuan asked.

"Did you see a ghost?" Jacob asked with a laugh.

Hans came up to me and whispered, "Who's with Aiden, dude?"

I pushed Hans away and glared at him, "Don't ask."

"Why, what happened?" Jacob asked, confused.

"I just asked who Aiden was with," Hans replied who's now looking away.

I walked again and they followed me.

"You two are fighting again? It's getting more frequent, huh? You weren't like that before," Yuan said.

"It's like a lover's quarrel," Jacob said laughing.

I didn’t answer and ran closer to Aiden and Regie. When I got close to them I stopped running and walked smoothly.

"Then... Do you still like me?" Aiden turned to Regie.

He averted his gaze, "You said I shouldn't like you because we're both men."

Wait, what? What am I hearing here? I know that Regie likes Aiden but I didn't know that he already confessed. When else did Aiden know and why didn’t he tell me? Damn it.

"Yeah," Aiden nodded and looked away. "You're right."

"But I still like you," Regie replied.

Aiden stopped walking, "W-What?"

Regie looked at Aiden, "I still like you, Aiden."

Fuck.

I quickened my pace and before Aiden could answer I immediately appeared between the two of them.

"Hey," I whispered. "Regie, do you want to come home with me?"

After all, we have only one way to go. If I don't take him with me, he might even take Aiden home.

"Huh?" He glanced at Aiden before looking at me, "I was going to take home Aiden."

My smiling face suddenly became serious, "Oh, really?"

"Wyatt!" I heard Jacob shout my name.

"Hi, Aiden!" Hans approached Aiden.

What the heck? Why did they get here so fast? And when else have Aiden and Hans been close? This fucker.

"What?" Irritability was evident in Aiden's voice. I smirked when I heard that.

Yes, yes. Good attitude. Just ignore that man.

"I just want to say hi," Hans uttered.

"Then, say hi to your friends," Aiden replied.

Pfft~ good, that's my man.

"What are you smiling at?" Yuan asked. He was by my side.

I shook my head, "Nothing." But my smile faded right away, when Aiden spoke.

"I'll go ahead. See you tomorrow, Regie," he smiled and waved his hand to Regie.

What about me? Damn, this Regie. Is he trying to steal my Aiden?!

"No, I'll go with you," Regie said and chased after him.

"Ey~ Aiden is so cold towards me," Hans complained. "Is he really like that to all? Why do I feel like he's mad at me?"

"Why are you even approaching him?" Jacob asked.

"Hmm..." Hans tilted his head, "I don't know? Aiden and Wyatt don't talk too much these days, so I thought of accompanying Aiden. He looks lonely, you know."

"And why do you care?" Asked Yuan.

"Because he's cute," he answered, smilingly.

"What?!" I immediately reacted.

"Why?" He turned to me, "I mean, he's cute just like my little brother. What are you thinking?"

I clicked my tongue, "Tch. I'm going home, bye." And walked ahead of them.

"What the heck?"

"Okay, take care~" said Jacob.

"See you tomorrow!" Yuan said.

♡~♡

When I got home, I immediately took a shower and got dressed. I left the house and drove to Aiden’s condo. When I was in the parking lot I still didn't get out of the car.

Damn. I can't decide.

Is Regie still there? If he was still there, what were they doing? Are they kissing? No, no, no. Haa, fuck. I want to hurry up and go there but what if Aiden ignores me?

I don’t know how many more minutes it took me in the car before I decided to go to Aiden. I didn't ring the doorbell and just immediately opened his door. When I entered, the surroundings were dark. When I opened the door of his room, I tightened my grip on the doorknob and clenched my fist.

Why is this man still here?

"Oh, Wyatt?" He asked as he turned his head to me.

“You’re still here,” I said. I entered the room and closed the door.

"Yeah," he nodded, then turned back to Aiden. "I'll go home soon."

"You can go now, I'll take care of Aiden," I said.

"How did you get in? You know his passcode?" He asked and looked up at me.

"Yes, we're best friends so I know his passcode. I'm the only one who comes here often," I replied.

He nodded, "He's sick."

"I know," I replied. "I took care of him yesterday."

"Really?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Oh, by the way, you and Aida broke up?" He asked.

I frowned, "Huh? Who told you that?"

"Aiden," he answered. "He said you got a new girlfriend and she's also studying at our school."

Damn. Why did he say that? Doesn't he really want to be my fake girlfriend? Aish.

"No, it's just a misunderstanding," I replied.

Regie stayed a few more minutes before he finally left. He even actually kissed Aiden's head before he left. Damn, it's just in the head but why does my head seem to explode in annoyance. Haa, what is happening to me? I feel weird.

Because of annoyance, I lay down next to Aiden. I lifted his head and placed it on my chest. Shit, he's so hot.

"Hmm~" he moaned in his sleep and hugged me tightly.

I wiped the part that Regie kissed before I hugged him.

"Pass your fever on to me, hmm?" I told him even though I knew he wouldn't answer because he was asleep.

I kissed his head, but when I remembered that Regie had kissed him on the head I lifted Aiden's face and kissed him on the lips.

Damn, what am I doing to my sleeping friend? Haa, I'm not in the right frame of mind.

He pushed me lightly, "D-Don't kiss me."

My eyes widened, "You're awake?" But his eyes were still closed.

"Don't kiss me," he said again.

I smiled, "But I want to. Kiss me, Aiden."

He shook his head, "I don't want to. Y-You..." his voice shook and later on there were tears coming out from his eyes. Fuck. "You didn't come for me here yesterday. Don't you know how many hours I've been waiting for you? Huwaa~"

Damn. I didn't know!

"Shh... Please, stop crying. Damn, don't cry. I'm sorry, okay?" I wiped his tears, panicking. "Sorry, Aiden. Shh..."

"Gruuu..."

What the? Did he snore? So, he was just sleep talking, huh? Damn. How cute of you, Aiden. Haa, really.

I chuckled and kissed his forehead. I closed my eyes and woke up when I suddenly fell out of bed. I grabbed my ass and then looked up to see Aiden looking at me with wide eyes.

"W-What are you doing here?" He asked.

I just stared at him when I remembered what he said last night, "You didn't come for me here yesterday. Don't you know how many hours I've been waiting for you? Huwaa~"

I smiled. So, he waited for me, huh? Damn, if I only knew he would be glad to see me that day, I would have woken him up and never left his side.

"Why are you still asking? Isn't it obvious that I'm here to take care of you?" I got up and sat on his bed.

"We have a class today and why would you take care of me?" He asked.

"Don't try to hide it from me, I know you were sick," I said. I reached for his hand and cupped it in my palm, "Let's stay here. I can call Jacob and send an excuse letter."

He withdrew his hand from me, "I'm fine. I can still do it."

I clicked my tongue, "Don't be stubborn and just do what I say."

His brows furrowed, "Won't Vanessa worry about you when you're absent today?"

I looked away, "No. I already texted her last night." I lied.

"Hmm..." he bowed his head and played with his fingers.

What now? Is he hesitating?

I grabbed his hand, "If you really want to go to school, kiss me first."

"H-Huh? Kiss?" He took his hand back from me and put it on his lips, then averted his eyes from me, "I dreamed that he kissed me last night." I heard him mutter.

Pfft- But that wasn't a dream. However, I can't tell him that, so I will just keep my mouth shut.

"So, what do you say?" I tilted my head and smirked.

He turned to me, "Stop saying the word 'kiss' when it's just the two of us. Didn't you feel bothered at all? We're both men. Isn't kissing too much for a game between two male friends?"

That made my smirk fade.
