The Pink Cupid Talks

Lucas was walking out of his house to make his way over to his relaxation spot. It was a small cliff, overlooking the city while making a feeling that the sky was closer than the city. The natural stars shimmered faintly but still contained the light that radiated its existence. Lucas took off his leather jacket, folded it up neatly and rested it against the back of his head while he lied on the soft grass. He stared at the constellation of stars, hiding in front of the never ending expanse of space. He could only result to think of the small plucky boy that loved him. Deep down he did like him too. But he thought more of a carer than a lover to him. He thought through the long night, steadily dozing off as he was interrupted.

"Hey Lucas," the familiar voice of Jen intervened in his thought process. He sat up and greeted her presence.

"What are you doing here?"

"I heard what had happened and I figured you needed to talk. I tried your house but no answer. So the logical thing was that you would be here." She concluded detectably

"How did you know I was here?"

"You always talked about a nice, serene place and this is one that I thought of. I always look over the city from here when I need time to think."

"Who knew we both picked the same spot." They both humored themselves off a topic of common interest.

"But I think there's another issue we should deal with." Lucas grew silent but tried displaying a rejection that failed to be recognized.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. It doesn't seem to be such a big deal."

"But it is, isn't it?" Lucas halted his reply, knowing denying things wouldn't help him solve the problem.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Nothing. It's just...i never thought he would have felt this way about me."

"But don't you?"

"Well I do, but not like him. More like a parent and child respect."

"Maybe he's sick of it. Maybe he wants you to see him that he's capable of being by himself." Lucas took the words into thought. His first hypothesis was backed up by sympathizing the feeling of the small boy.

"I was only trying to look out for him."

"I'm sure he respects it very much. But maybe you gotta let go." Lucas sighed as he tried to take abandonment to his maternal instincts.

"But Lucas, just answer this: Do you love him?" Lucas overlapped two thoughts. To take a sense of caring and love the small boy, or take a difficult road, separating himself from him. The choices became hard to make as he thought of them hardly. One was an easy road, the other was difficult. But in the end, it lead to a sense of normalcy, which he wanted, or being with him, making him happy, or maybe even himself. The decision was tough. But he wanted what was best for him. He slowly erupted from thought to speak.

'Yeah..I do'

"love him"

Jen smiled a bit and grew into a grin as he thought of the two getting together. It was a great gathering of the two friends. But as Lucas snapped back to the reality of it all, he came to a haste decision.

"But for now, I just want to see if he does like me or just want to let go."

"Yeah I guess that would be okay. But try and be gentle with him." Lucas knew that was no difficult objective. He always becomes gentle around him. His smile couldn't evoke any power or force. He thought of his cuteness too. His compliments swarmed through his mind. They merged together that it blew up into a happy smile that he needed to tell.

"Well, thanks for talking with me."

"It's no problem. So will you go talk to him?"

"Yeah, I think I will. I'll see you tomorrow morning."

With the aim set on his mind, he got on his bike and drove back to his home.
