Aiden's Point of View

When we arrived at the infirmary, we were greeted by the nurse who was about to leave the room to eat her lunch. I can see in her eyes that she doesn't know what to do, she's thinking twice whether to put me first or eat first. But before she could make a decision, Wyatt spoke, maybe he also noticed the confusion in the nurse's eyes.

"Uhm, I can take care of him, you can have your lunch, ma'am," Wyatt said, politely.

The nurse nodded and smiled, "Really? Sorry, huh? I'm really hungry. I didn't have breakfast this morning."

"No worries," Wyatt answered, then stepped back so the nurse could get out. But instead of walking out of the room, the nurse remained standing.

Hmm, didn't she say she was hungry? What is she waiting for? Did she suddenly change her mind? Did she think to eat later after she finished giving me medicine and checking my body temperature?

"U-Uhm... I might get scolded if I leave you here," the nurse tried to smile. "I'll take care of you first before I eat."

"No," Wyatt answered, quickly. I looked at him. Is this one crazy? "You said you were hungry, didn't you? Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else about this. We will also be scolded if they find out that we came in here without a nurse. You can eat now."

Hmm... Is he concerned about the nurse?

I looked away from Wyatt as I felt my heart ache at the thought.

What's this? I'm the one in his arms but he's more concerned about other people? Well, I can't deny that the nurse is beautiful. Did he fall in love with her at first sight? So, what about me? Does he still prefer a girl over a boy? Damn. We've only been in a relationship for 2 months but his feelings have already changed?

No, no, no. Stop overthinking about it. I trust Wyatt, he won't leave me. He still loves me... right?

Wow, why is my anxiety triggered all of a sudden? He just talked with her for Pete's sake, Aiden. Ha, damn it. Calm your ass down.

I tightened my grip on Wyatt's neck and rested my head on his shoulder. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I need to calm down.

"Oh, thank you very much! Uhm, the medicines are just in the cabinet. The thermometer is just on my table. Thanks again, I'll head first, huh?"

"Yes, sure."

When I felt Wyatt's movement that's when I opened my eyes again. He entered the room and closed the door. He walked over to the nurse's table and asked me to sit on the chair.

He sighed, "Are you okay?" he looked at me, "Sorry it took so long, the nurse seems to be confused about what she should do."

I nodded, "I'm fine. I also noticed that about her, earlier."

He took the thermometer and he also took medicine before he sat down in the chair in front of me. He pulled the chair closer to me.

"Hmm... Let's take your temperature first," he said and lifted my armpit to stick the thermometer there.

We waited a few moments for the thermometer to ring. When it rang, Wyatt immediately took it and checked how high my fever was.

He clicked his tongue. He didn't speak. He didn't tell me what my temperature was. He just stood up to clean the thermometer before returning it to where he took it.

He came back to my side again, "Hold your medicine, I'll just get some water."

I took the medicine from his hand. He stood up and went to the water dispenser to get me a drink, then he came back next to me.

After I finished taking the medicine, Wyatt smiled as if a thorn had been pulled out of his chest.

He caressed my cheek, "You should lay down and rest. Come," he held my hand and made me stand up.

We walked closer to the beds and he made me lie there. When I lay down, he closed the curtain and laid down next to me on the bed. Fortunately, the bed is not too small so I didn’t get pinch.

"Are you okay? If you feel cramped I can come down," Wyatt said.

I shook my head. I hugged him, "Stay here with me."

He giggled, "Okay, okay. You look troubled, why is that? Hmm?" He brushed my hair.

I took a deep breath to get the courage to look at him, "Do you think... That the nurse was pretty?"

"Pfft— what?" He suddenly burst out laughing. My brows furrowed. Why is he laughing? I'm asking a serious question here! "Wow..." He covered his mouth. He shook his head while his smile remained on his face, "Have you been thinking about that for a while? Is that why your face suddenly turned sad when we entered here?"

I rolled my eyes, "So what? As if I can stop my mind from thinking like that. Can I control everything that comes into my mind? I can't, right?"

He kissed my forehead, "Damn. What am I going to do with you? You're driving me crazy, Aiden. You're right, we can't control what goes through our minds, so I can't help but think that you're jealous ."

I averted my gaze, "So, what if I am? We can't control our feelings either! That's why I love you."

"Pfft— you're really..." He hugged me tightly, "To answer your question, she's not really that pretty. You're prettier than her, for your information. Ow!—" he suddenly broke away and looked at me, "S-Sorry. I know you hated being called pretty. Uhm... So... What I mean is— hmp."

He couldn't finish what he was going to say when I shut him up using my lips.

"It's okay... I don't hate it when you're the one calling me that. In fact, I'm happy and I love it. My whole system is always reacting when you call me 'pretty'. If you are the one to call me that, it is okay, because it's you, you're Wyatt." I uttered.

He giggled, "You're making my heart jump, Aiden. Hmm... Can I kiss you?"

I nodded right away, "Yeah. I want to kiss, too."

He smiled, "Oh, yeah?" He lifted my chin up. I closed my eyes as his face moved closer to me.

My heart skipped a beat when our lips touched. I know my body is warm now because I have a fever. But there seems to be another reason why my whole system is heating up.

Wyatt pulled my waist closer to him to the point where our bodies were touching. I stuck out my tongue and fought with his tongue. Wyatt is not a wine but every time we kiss I get drunk. He's not a drug either but I get addicted.

I pulled his neck to deepen our kiss. And because our bodies were touching, I felt his pet come to life, not only his but also mine.

Damn, we shouldn't be doing this here. What if there is CCTV here? What if there are other students here without our knowledge? What if the nurse suddenly comes back and sees us both? What if the news spreads that we are dating?

I know... I know those questions in my mind are already enough to stop what we're doing but I still can't keep my lips away from Wyatt.

This is bad.

CREEK...

"Aish, bullshit."

My eyes widened as soon as I heard the door open. I don't know if Wyatt heard that or if he just didn't care, his lips continued to move. I was about to push him but it was too late. The curtain opened and I saw a man standing there. There is a trace of shock on his face; His eyes widened and his lips parted.

"What... What the fuck?"

When I heard the man speak that's when I pushed Wyatt with all my strength causing him to fall on the bed. I immediately sat on the bed and bowed. Fear enveloped my chest. I do not know what to do.

I'm not afraid because I was caught kissing another man. I don't care what happens to me. I was more scared of the fact that Wyatt was caught kissing me. I'm afraid of what might happen to him. Wyatt is well known at school, many admire and look up to him so I can't fully imagine what the reaction will be and what everyone will say if they find out about the two of us.

I can't stand seeing Wyatt being hated by everyone. I can't stand hearing hate comments about him. If they get angry with me, if I'm the only one who receives hurtful words, I don't care. But I can't do it if Wyatt is the one to experience it. Because... If that happens, I'm afraid he'll leave me and deny me from everyone.

I know that people's opinion of him is important to him. So, this is also one of the reasons why I am afraid that someone will find out about our relationship, because when that happens, it is clear that he will leave me for his own image.

It's not that I don't trust him, you can even say that I don't trust myself. I had no confidence in myself that I could make him happy for a long time. I am not confident that he will stay with me forever. I'm not sure how long his feelings for me will last. There is no certainty if we are really meant for each other. If he can bear to be with me until we get old. If he can shout to the world that he loves me and he doesn't care what everyone says about the two of us.

I know he has own needs because he is also a man. He needs a family; a wife to marry and a child to build their family. It's also one of the things I'm afraid of because I know... I can't give him those two no matter what I do.

Because of the various thoughts, my tears suddenly fell.

I covered my face to hide my tears but it wasn't enough.

It was Hans who saw us. Even though he's still Wyatt's friend, we're not sure if he won't tell what he saw. Fuck. I'm afraid.

"H-Hey, Aiden, what's wrong?" I felt Wyatt's hand on either side of my shoulder, "Does anything hurt with you? Did I pinch you earlier? Did I bite your tongue or lip? Damn. Please, respond. You're making me nervous..."

I removed Wyatt’s hand over my shoulder and approached Hans. I held Hans' hand and looked into his eyes.

"P-Please... Please, don't tell anyone about what you saw. You're Wyatt's friend, right? You won't betray him and talk behind his back, right? Now that you caught us, you won't turn your back at him, r-right? Right, Hans?" I forced myself to smile even though my lips kept on trembling.

"Hey," Wyatt grabbed my shoulder and pulled me away from Hans. "What are you doing? Don't beg him like that!"

I sobbed, "B-But... Wyatt, I don't want you to be hated by everyone..."

"Shit," he took a deep breath like he was calming himself down. He sat next to me and then hugged me, "Hans is my friend he won't do anything bad. I know him. We can trust him. Aish. Please, don't cry, especially in front of other men."

"O-Other men? You just said that I'm your friend!" Hans yelled.

"Tch," Wyatt clicked his tongue. "Don't ruin my day even more, Hans. You made my man cry!"

He said, my man.

Damn it.

"Look at what you did! My boyfriend just started crying because you yelled!" Wyatt hugged me even tighter. Later on, I felt his palm patting my back, "Shh... It's alright. It was Hans who saw us, you have nothing to be scared of. Our secret is safe with him. And if I know... He has feelings for you too, that's why he always sticks with you."

"Hey, I am not! I'm straight! I-It's just that... Aiden is so adorable that I always wanted to be with him..."

"If you say that, don't blush, dumbass!" Wyatt heaved a sigh, "Calm down, hmm? Don't think about that stupid man who just barged in here," he said then kissed the top of my head. "Mwa! Don't overthink it."

I nodded and hugged him back.

Damn, I'm an idiot.
