Chapter 1
Sorey observed Mikleo intently. His friend was trying his hardest to get focused as he studied; re-reading long texts… highlighting sentences… taking notes… Mikleo looked so beautiful… The way his eyebrows were furrowed as he thought, along with the way his lips pouted from time to time, made his heart beat faster. He looked beautiful and cute! Even though thoughts like those were something very constant whenever it came to Mikleo, his friend looked especially beautiful in moments like this. Sorey truly liked that about Mikleo.
"Ah, I really like him…" He inevitably thought.
On the other hand, Mikleo's eyebrow twitched slightly. For some time now the boy had noticed his friend's intent gaze. He tried to ignore it, yet the intensity of Sorey's green eyes penetrated his very being. Mikleo could feel his heartbeat racing almost uncontrollably inside his chest; however, as if that wasn't enough, he felt the rapid way his cheeks, ears and neck were growing warm. Obviously Mikleo had to distract his emotions and those embarrassing reactions, as well as Sorey and his gaze.
"S-Sorey!" Mikleo intended to sound stern, although his voice trembled nervously in the beginning. He rested the pencil he had in hands over the book sitting on his lap, however the object rolled over one of its sides, falling on the ground in the short gap between his and Sorey's feet.
For a moment they both forgot about their previous feelings of embarrassment, clearly distracted by the pencil lying on the ground. Their first thought was to grab it; and so, none of them hesitated. Mikleo's stretched hand reached his pencil first nevertheless, yet by the time he realized Sorey's hand was softly enveloping some of his fingers.
Surprise was their instant reaction. Their eyes opened wide while looking at their hands.
Mikleo panicked, and quickly grabbed the pencil taking his hand away. However, even though he had successfully escaped from Sorey's touch, his warmth still lingered on his fingers. The boy turned his face away in order to hide his obvious emotions. Mikleo squeezed his eyes shut tightly, pressing the hand Sorey had accidentally touched against his chest; his fingers squeezing the pencil unwittingly. His heartbeat thumped so strongly; so uncontrollably against his rib cage that he could clearly feel it against his hands as well.
He took a deep breath in order to calm down. Sorey was still there, and he couldn't keep behaving in such a way.
Determined, Mikleo faced his best friend one more time, yet his determination vanished as soon as he saw Sorey's exaggeratedly red cheeks. His heart skipped a beat at the sight, and blushing intensely himself as well, Mikleo bursted out in pure embarrassment; "W-Why are you blushing?" He didn't even notice how stupid that sounded, only after hearing the same question directed at him, did he realize it.
"Mikleo too… why are you blushing?" Sorey's tone of voice was gentler and softer than Mikleo's, which increased said male's embarrassment.
"H-Huh? I'm not blushing!" He knew it was pointless to try denying the obvious, but in no way could he admit it!
Sorey's mouth formed a small pout. "Yes, you are."
Mikleo gasped in surprise; cheeks as red as a tomato. He was clearly not expecting his friend to argue back, but he easily followed Sorey's example. "I am not! My cheeks may be a little flushed, but it's only because I've been looking down for too long, studying." Actually, Mikleo was proud of the good excuse he found in so little time. Although that didn't help him in the slightest.
"Hum…" Pouting, Sorey retorted, "That sounds like an excuse. You are clearly blushing."
"I am not!"
"You are!" By now Sorey's brows were furrowed softly. He was getting impatient.
Mikleo was getting quite exasperated himself. He didn't know what to say anymore to argue back against Sorey, so instead he closed his book, stuffed his things inside his bag and stood up frustrated.
"Mikleo?" Sorey muttered getting up as well.
"I am going home. I can't concentrate with you by my side." It was the truth yet, if possible, he wanted Sorey's company for a little longer. But obviously, he couldn't voice his wishes.
"Wait!" Sorey's hand reached out for his arm grabbing it and forcing his friend to stop as intended.
Mikleo looked at him too surprised to react.
"Do you want to go somewhere to relax for a while? You've been studying so hard these past days… if you take a small break I'm sure it won't do you any bad." Although Sorey felt and thought as he had said, the boy just wanted an excuse to stay longer with Mikleo. Even though he saw him everyday at school, he still missed him greatly whenever they went home; though they both lived right next to each other. Sorey just couldn't help it; he liked Mikleo so, so much that he wanted to be with him 24 hours per day.
The boy suddenly blushed at his thoughts. He had to stop right there or else Mikleo would get mad again.
Putting on a gentle smile, Sorey added, "So? What do you think of my idea?"
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
Mikleo's fingers delicately turned the page of the book. His amethyst eyes ran through the many sentences written over the white page; every now and then, a small illustration would better describe what had previously been explained… For the past hour, Mikleo had been tirelessly studying, yet…
"Ah-" Letting out a long sigh, Mikleo looked out of the window of his room, having full sight of Sorey's house. Of course that he inevitably remembered Sorey's invitation to go out and relax a little. Although such suggestion had sounded so tempting, Mikleo couldn't allow himself to go along with his friend this time. Though frustrating, but it had been his fault for missing the day of the tests because of a mere cold. Thus he decided to go for the most perfect scores as compensation. It wasn't as if those would be his final exams, but Mikleo had his pride as well.
"I only hope to do it." He muttered as he looked, yet again, at his book more than ready to keep working. However, a small beep coming from his laptop lying on his bed, forced him to change his mind. Curious, Mikleo went to the source of his distraction, and read the surprising message that the blue machine's screen displayed.
"Hello Luzrov Rulay, The_Sheperd would like to be your friend, what do you wish to do?
Accept / Refuse"
"Hum?" He frowned while reading that message. "Who?" The boy sat on his bed, placing the laptop over his legs, and finally deciding The_Sheperd's destiny.
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
"Friendship request accepted!
The_Sheperd, you are now friends with Luzrov Rulay."
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
With a fast click, Mikleo accepted the friendship request. Though true that for a moment he had hesitated, he decided to accept in the end for a simple reason: that was the school's chat, although they had chosen to keep their contact information private, the person on the other side of that request had to be someone from school. There was a possibility that they were someone seeking his help, so Mikleo had made his choice based on his own suppositions. Sure enough, he wouldn't be that far from the truth.
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
Sorey's heart skipped not one but a couple of beats. His cheeks reddened slightly, and his eyes shone while looking at his friend's pen name over and over again.
"H-He accepted. Mikleo… accepted."
His heart started racing, more with each passing second. The anxiety; the excitement were growing within him. Those emotions invaded him so strongly that it was almost- no, it was impossible to stop them.
"Hey Sorey, isn't there grape flavored ice crea-WHOA!" Entering the brunet's room, Rose was instantly attacked by a very lively and impatient Sorey, who grabbed her by the shoulders while enthusiastically revealing the news.
"Rose, Mikleo accepted!" Sorey said excitedly.
For moments Rose looked perplexed, lost even, yet soon enough she returned to her senses.
"Sorey, you're overreacting. You guys are friends already." She stated the obvious. Sorey released her, pouting.
"This is different!"
"Ah sure… because you want to cowardly confess, right?" Rose had meant to tease her friend, yet Sorey felt offended.
"It's not cowardly!" The boy furrowed his brows as he remarked.
Rose let out a small sigh. It wasn't that she didn't understand her friend, yet to her Sorey's idea was quite pointless for a single reason: both, Sorey and Mikleo, had deep feelings for each other, and such a thing was obvious for everyone, howevernone of them realized it. It was quite frustrating in truth.
"Okay, okay! Sorry!" Although grinning, she sounded apologetic. "So… What's the plan, again?"
"Plan?"
"Yeah, like you added him, so what now?"
Sorey giggled nervously, while scratching the back of his head. "I might not have a plan."
Rose shouldn't, because it was Sorey after all, yet she was incredibly taken aback.
"You really…" For moments she kept quiet, looking at the boy who let out another giggle. Rose sighed. It seemed that she had no choice; she would have to lend a hand to The_Sheperd and his other half, Luzrov Rulay.
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
Mikleo looked at the time his laptop displayed; ten minutes had passed and nothing came from whomever had added him. He couldn't help but wonder if he had been added by mistake.
A small sigh escaped through his mouth. "You're thinking too much Mikleo."
As he was ready to put the laptop back on the bed, so that he could returnto his studies, a new beep sounded softly from it. His heart skipped a beat, actually. His finger quickly ordered the mouse to open the small chat window.
"The_Sheperd: I'm in love with you"
Mikleo had to actually read twice to make sure he was not imagining things. When he finally confirmed what his eyes read, his heart thumped harder inside his chest, while his cheeks reddened intensely like they did whenever he got dazed admiring Sorey. Yet, it was a momentary reaction, as he soon realized the most important thing: some anonymous student, from the same school as him, was most likely playing a prank on him; otherwise why would they hide their profile information? People who did that were rare after all. Besides, Mikleo had never heard of "The_Sheperd" before. This was definitely a prank!
As he was about to reply, he received a new message.
"The_Sheperd: I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry ( ╥ω╥ ) ! I know that this was sudden, but I just really wanted to tell you my feelings. Forgive me…"
Mikleo was at a loss for words. However, more than anything, Mikleo was confused. Should he believe on this person or not? That's what he pondered the most about while re-reading "The_Sheperd"s messages.
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
"Rose, why would you do that? I was planning to confess only after some time!" Sorey sounded annoyed as he typed a honest apology desperately, hoping that Mikleo wouldn't remove him from his friends. Knowing Mikleo as he did, he was sure that he would be doubting that confession right now; probably assuming that it was some kind of joke.
Sorey clenched his fist while wishing for his best friend to not remove his friendship.
"Oh, so you had a plan!" Rose tried to joke about it, yet all she received in exchange was a glare from the boy. "Ah geez… Sorry, sorry! But since you said that you hadn't any plans I thought I would help you a little."
"That was not helping at all! Mikleo will remove me from his friends and I won't be able to tell him how I feel." Sorey couldn't help but panic a little. He had thought a lot of countless ways to confess to Mikleo, and coming up with this idea had not been easy, so thinking of failing after getting so far was disappointing, yet more than anything, really frustrating.
Rose was actually starting to feel guilty. She had meant to help but, most likely, she had screwed things up.
A rather loud beep surprised both teens, who quickly checked the school's chat.
"Luzrov Rulay: I can't say that I trust you, because I don't really know if this is a prank or not, but either way… Thank you for your feelings."
Sorey's heart was filled with hope thanks to Mikleo's reply. Although it seemed that he didn't totally believe in his confession, at least he hadn't removed him from his friends. It was a good sign.
"See, Sorey? My help wasn't all that bad right?" Rose said more confident.
Yet, the sudden new message he received destroyed half of the living hope within him.
"Luzrov Rulay: However I cannot accept your feelings. I'm sorry."
"Ah…" Rose was unable to hide her surprise. "Sorey…" She glanced at the boy anxiously, only to see him more determined than ever.
"The_Sheperd: Can I ask you why?"
He sent but quickly regretted his action, so he added:
"The_Sheperd: Of course, only if you want to tell me. Sorry if I'm insisting too much (＞﹏＜) … I just like you so much that I can't help it"
Rose looked at Sorey's message taken aback. She knew how straightforward he was, but she wasn't expecting this right now; especially after Sorey's reaction to her help.
"Wow Sorey, you're quite bold aren't you?"
"Eh?" He was confused.
"And not long ago you were complaining at me. Did you change your mind?" The redhead asked grinning.
Sorey looked at what he had written again, and just like Rose, he too was taken aback.
"Uwaaaah!"
His face grew unbearably hot. He couldn't believe he had written something so embarrassing. Why hadn't he realized it. It was as if his feelings for Mikleo were controlling him.
"The_Sheperd:anyways, thank you for accepting my friendship request"
"I'm such an idiot…" He couldn't help but mutter lowly.
❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤❤SM❤SM❤SM❤SM❤
When he thought he could calm down a little, Mikleo read the newest messages from "The_Sheperd" and was pulled into that person's world once again. His heart pounded against his chest. Even though he didn't know if this was a prank or not, somehow Mikleo couldn't doubt their feelings.
He thought for a while what to reply back, and finally he decided to be honest.
"Luzrov Rulay: It's okay. Thank you for adding me.
There's someone I like already. I'm sorry…"
He wondered if apologizing for a second time would be the right thing to do, but it didn't seem wrong, so he decided to include the apology in his message. After sending his reply, a sudden curiosity began invading him, thus he wrote a new message.
"Luzrov Rulay: Can I know who you are?"
Mikleo waited yet he never obtained a single reply. Had he rushed things by asking that? He began to doubt and regret having sent that last message. Nevertheless he decided to wait a little for a reply, but no matter how long he waited nothing would reach him. When he checked, "The_Sheperd"s status was already offline, thus Mikleo could only wonder what had happened, but since nothing new came, he decided to go back to his studies. Of course he returned later at night to check for new replies, however he had nothing new on his inbox. He couldn't help but feel worried, even though he didn't know who the other person was it was strange when someone suddenly stopped replying and logged out in the middle of a conversation; something had happened, that was his conclusion. And, as if that wasn't enough, his curiosity only increased. In the end Mikleo really hoped to receive a reply soon.
