Aiden's Point of View

I'm Aiden and I have a crush on my childhood best friend— Wyatt. I'm in my bedroom now with him and I can't sleep. Why? Because he's hugging me. It wasn't the first time he hugged me while we were sleeping but it felt like the first time. Maybe because I just discovered my feelings for him. He was facing my back while he was hugging me, his hand was inside my shirt. He holds my stomach where I feel butterflies partying with joy. I tried several times to remove his hand but he kept putting it back over and over again. That's why I decided to just give up.

I took a deep breath and decided to go to sleep. I will try to sleep even though my heart feels like it's going to burst because of the strength of its beating. I even overcame the one who has heart disease. Haa, when will Wyatt calm my heart?

°°°°

I opened my eyes. My eyes hurt so much as if there were small stones inside. Whose eyes won't hurt if you try to sleep, and even though you want to sleep, you still can't sleep?

Yes, I didn't sleep! Wyatt's hand inside my shirt didn't put me to sleep. Damn it!

"Hmm~"

Tch. I didn't sleep even for a moment, but look how well the man next to me slept.

"Aiden..." He called my name. He hugged me even tighter, he leaned his forehead on my back and pulled me closer to him.

"Eherm~" I pretended to clear my throat. "Wyatt, it's already morning. Wake up," I said and grabbed his hand that was on my stomach. I removed it but he put it back again. I just sighed.

"Don't wanna~ let's sleep some more, hmm? Our class today will start in the afternoon," he replied.

I sighed again and didn't answer. What else can I do? Except that he doesn't want to let me go, I also want to stay by his side and be with him for a long time.

Based on the way he was acting, I'm sure he didn't remember what happened last night. The old Wyatt I knew is back, so, are we okay again? Won't he ignore me again? He won't be cold to me anymore?

"Aiden?" He called me after a few minutes of silence.

"Hmm? You're awake, why haven't you gotten up yet?" I asked, "I'm hungry," I added.

"Face me, I want to see your face," he whispered into my ear.

Because of what he did, all the hair on my body stood up. Geez. I didn't sleep last night because of him then now, he would make it difficult for me to breathe.

I was afraid to face him. What if my face suddenly turns red? Argh! It's hard to hide your feelings, especially if you're hiding it from your best friend.

"I'm hungry, Wyatt, come on, let's get up," I changed the subject.

Just as I was about to remove his hand that was hugging me again, he suddenly tightened his embrace. If it was tight before, now it's even tighter. My heart feels like it's going to come out of my chest, help!

"You face me first," when he finished saying that, he bit my shoulder.

"Damn, it hurts!" I growled and immediately hit his head.

He laughed softly, "Sorry~ face me, please?"

I bit my bottom lip. I took a deep breath before facing him like he wanted, "Happy? Tch."

He smiled, a big one, "Yep." He answered and buried his head in my neck.

"I thought we were going to get up when I faced you?" I asked.

This is bad. What if he hears my heartbeat? Damn it!

I waited a few seconds for his answer but I received nothing. After a while, I felt his kiss on my neck which shocked me.

I immediately pushed him away. I held the part he kissed while I looked at him, "Have you lost your mind? Why did you do that?"

He averted his gaze, "I don't know. Sorry."

If he suddenly does things like that how can I control myself? Damn. I feel like I want to pull his nape and press him into a deep kiss. Fuck. I'm the one who will lose our minds in this situation. I need some air. I need to cool down.

I was about to stand up when Wyatt suddenly pulled my arm causing me to lie down again.

I turned to him with a frown, "I'm hungry, if you're not hungry yet stay here and don't include me." I was about to stand up again but he stopped me so I turned to him again, "Your friends are still in the living room. They also need to eat."

"I still want to hug you," he replied. "Stay here for a moment, hmm?"

This one is really making things hard for me. I don't understand him. After he ignored me he will be sweet now. Then what? After being sweet to me, will he treat me coldly again?

He keeps on giving me mixed signals. And I keep getting the wrong idea from his every action.

"You can hug the pillow, why me?" I asked then looked away from him.

"Because it's not you," he answered before I felt his arm wrap around me. "Aiden, would you date a guy?"

His question left me speechless.

"Huh?"

"A guy confessed to me, he said he wanted me for a long time. He's cute, kind and caring. I want to try to date him because of his personality. If you're in my situation, will you date him?" he asked.

Suddenly I felt small needles pricking my chest. I feel like I want to cry but there are no tears planning to come out in my eyes.

Instead of answering his question, I threw a question at him, "H-How did you know that he is kind and caring?"

He giggled, "I've been with him. He's fun to be with. I don't know but my heart feels light when I'm with him, so I want to try dating him."

"You're such a bad guy, Wyatt," I uttered. "You're hugging me while talking about another guy. Meanie~" I chuckled.

"Huh?" He broke away from the hug and looked at my face. I could see the worry in his eyes, "W-Wait, don't cry."

Shit.

Just now, no tears wanted to come out but why when Wyatt looked at me did my tears suddenly fall?

Shit.

I looked away then wiped my tears, "It's just... Something got in my eye."

Shit. What a great liar.

"Are you sure?" He asked and helped me wipe my tears.

I nodded, "Date him. You have nothing to lose if you try. You also said that he is kind and considerate, so why not give it a try, right?" I smiled and got up from the bed. I left the room and left him there.

Yes. They should date. Maybe if I ever see him with someone else, I will lose my feelings for him. It will be painful to see him with someone else but it's just at first, eventually it will go away.

If they really like each other, there's nothing wrong with them being together. I will be happy if that happens because who am I to come between the two of them?

"Good morning, Aiden!" Hans greeted me. I just smiled and went straight to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

It's just a temporary pain in the chest if Wyatt would have a partner. Yes, it's only for a moment. All my feelings for him will also disappear when the day comes.
