My Childhood Friend

Chapter 41: How I Wish

The young protégé rolled and fell out of bed. He groaned angrily and lightly rubbed his aching head. Glitch looked round and noticed that he fell asleep in my yawned madly and covered his mouth. He stretched his arms and stood up.

I came out of the bathroom and saw my best friend already awake. I closed the door behind me and got the Asian boy's attention. He gazed at me and smiled.

"Hey…" he greeted and I beamed at him.

"Sleep well?" I inquired and he gave a nod.

"Yeah… where did you sleep?" he asked and walked closer to me.

I scratched my head and blushed. I didn't look directly at his eyes. Instead, I put my head down while playing with my hands.

The young protégé snapped his fingers in front of me that made me blink. He glimpsed at his curious face and I quickly avoided his stare.

"What's wrong with you? Where did you sleep last night?" he repeated and tilted his head.

"Uh… well… uhm… I was… er… watching television and accidentally fell asleep… beside you." I stuttered and my best friend's face became red.

"Wh- when I woke up this morning… the television was turned off. I guessed mom came in here last night…" I continued and my blush went deeper as well as Glitch.

"Oh…" said the young protégé almost breathlessly.

"So yeah…" I added still not glimpsing at my best friend. "Yo- you wanna eat? We- we still have to do the video before I leave tomorrow."

Glitch remembered what I said last night about being gone for a week. His shy face became sad all of the sudden. He gazed at me and gave out a reluctant smile.

"Right… you'll leave tomorrow…" he whispered and my heart melted.

"I know that tone…" I blurted and Glitch pinched my nose.

"Don't worry." He said and planted a kiss on my forehead that surprised me.

We went downstairs together and saw my mom preparing for breakfast. Glitch and I greeted her politely and ate. My mom was shooting me a sly smile. I raised my brow at her and ignored her spooky grin at me.

I washed the dishes and my best friend went home for a while. When Glitch left, my mom quickly went upstairs; and when he came back down, she was holding a camera.

I stared at it while she was handling it to me. I looked at my mother and asked, "What's with the cam?"

"Just turn it on." She responded with a giggle.

"OK…" I said unsure about what my mom's planning.

My eyes widened when I saw it. That's why my mom's smiling at me. Last night, when me and my best friend was sleeping, Glitch was hugging me in his sleep and I didn't even notice it. Our face was a few centimeters away as well as our lips. My hands were shaking and my heart was beating fast. I didn't even hear my mom's loud giggle. She shook me while she squealed.

"Yo- you took this la- last night?" I stammered and my mom nodded joyfully. "

"Are you two dating?" she asked with a laugh and I shot mom my furious look.

"No!" I shouted, "Thi- this is- we- we don't know this alright! We- we're asleep!"

"Well you know it now!" said my mom while shaking me madly.

"Mo- mom! Stop it!" I said irritatedly. I ran to my room leaving my giggling mother downstairs. I locked my room and locked the door. I was making fast pants. I'm hyperventilating. I looked at my bed an imagined me and and Glitch like in the picture.

I wipe my red face and ran to my bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror and I can see my burning red face.

"I- It's an accident…" I told myself. "Glitch didn't mean to…"

I came out of the bathroom and watched television for a while to clear my head but this was not helping. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking at the door and I quickly answered it. I saw my best friend smiling at me. Looks like he didn't know what happened and mom didn't tell him.

"Hey! Wait… what happened to your face?" he asked and touched my neck and forehead.

I transformed into statue while he was checking my temperature. "You awright?" he asked.

I didn't respond or gave out a gesture. He went in and closed my door. He helped me to sit down on my bed. He sat beside me and stared.

"Are you OK?" he asked thoughtfully and moved his face closer to mine. "I thought we're going to do the video thing?"

I again didn't reply. Glitch felt curious and he looked around. Everything seems fine except for your recognizable red face.

"(Y/n)?" he said and shouted in my ear, "(Y/n)!"

I jumped and back and my eyes widened. I blinked and gazed at my best friend. Glitch tilted his head to the side and smirked.

"I- I… I'm going to take a shower for half an hour…" I said and stood up.

"I was gone for an hour and you haven't taken a shower? Geez…" complaint the young protégé but I ignored it. My mind was cloudy and jumbled. I took the clothes and my towel with me in the bathroom.

Glitch sighed and walked round my room. He stared here and there, not pretty he what he was looking for. Suddenly, recognized something under my bed. He knelt down and saw an old wooden box. He reached it and pulled It out.

He coughed and covered his mouth. "Wow… it's obvious that she's not cleaning…" he muttered but later realized that I don't like dust in my room. "Maybe she's just keeping this." he said to himself and opened the box.

"Wait… it's impolite to scour somebody else's things… Oh well… she wouldn't mind." Said the witty Asian boy and grinned evilly.

Glitch opened it and saw an old scrapbook. He hasn't seen this… ever. He coughed and wiped the dust out of it. He opened it and saw pictures of us. Me and him. The crazy things we did when we were kids. The outings, school activities, everything that we went through.

My best friend carefully looked each and every one of its pictures. He smiled widely and his eyes became soft. "You've kept this all along.. " He murmured.

There's picture when I and Glitch were fighting over a piece of candy. A picture of me chasing him. A picture of Glitch always there for me whenever I got scared. The last page was up and Glitch's cheeks became red when he saw the last picture. This was taken before he left. I was crying and the Asian boy was hugging me tightly while kissing my forehead.

The dance genius touched my face in the picture. He remembered that day when he said about the bad news. "(Y/n)…." He said.

Glitch was about to close the scrapbook when he noticed something. There's a picture hiding in the cover. He slowly took it and read the note before he took a glimpse of the picture. This was my favorite of all pictures.

The dance genius turned it and his face became 's a picture of my best friend kissing my cheek while he was holding my hands. By the looks of it, I was in the hospital and Glitch stayed by my side. I was unconscious for two days at that time.

Glitch quickly closed the book when he heard me turning the Asian boy put the box back under my bed and pretended that he was reading something. I came out and saw Glitch just sitting on my chair. I smiled and brushed my hair in front of the mirror.

The dance genius stared at me but I didn't glimpse back. I walked to him and checked what he was reading. I got intrigued by his gaze. I never saw him like this before. He stood up and put the book down.

I walked backwards and didn't notice that bed behind me. I fell back and the Asian boy leaned. He gripped my wrists and pushed them against my bed.

"Glitch what are you-"

He stopped my words by combining his lips with mine. I yelped and asked him to stop but he didn't listen.

He kissed me forcefully and deeper. I stared at his eyes and can't help myself not to kiss back. He released my hands and I put my arms around his neck. He cupped my cheeks and kissed me desperately. We were breathing heavily my best friend suddenly kissed my neck. I moaned and covered my mouth when I remembered that my mom was downstairs.

"Glitch… s- stop… please…" I pleaded and luckily the Asian boy got a hold of himself.

"(Y/n)… I want us to- to be more than friends". He stammered and added, "I- I've been waiting…"

I was speechless and I did nothing but to stare at his emerald eyes. I panicked and I don't know what to say. I wanted to… but… our friendship… don't want that to disappear.

"Gli- Glitch… I- I'm not sure a- about this… le- let's think about this thoroughly." I reasoned and realized that I broke my best friend's heart.

"Do-don't you want us to be to- gether?" he asked a bit worried and cupped my cheeks.

"I- I want to… bu- but… what about our friendship? W- we can't just throw that away…"

Glitch also didn't want that to happen. He gazed at me and gave a long kiss. "I know… I don't wanna lose it either.

I grinned at him and my cheeks blushed I grabbed his shirt and pulled it combining our lips together. We broke the kiss and smiled at each other.

"Le- let's go… there's no much time left. I still have to prepare for tomorrow."
