Chapter 8 [Lucas]

I stood up from the bench and sat on the grass, in front of a boy who just suddenly stumbled down. He cried as he slightly lift his face up. "Are you okay?" I asked as I offer my hand for help. He looked up to me while wiping his tears and took my hand.

"M-My first love," he whimpers as he stood up "She moved away today. I was about to catch up to her car,"

"By running? You're nothing compared to a car. Cars are faster," I said. That didn't help at all. It made him cry more. "Stop crying," I said as I wipe his tears away. As I clearly looked into his eyes, it suddenly sparkled and I was completely mesmerized. "I'm Lucas," I said as I help him get off the dirt on his uniform.

"I'm Zyaire, " he smiled. I held both of his hands and said "From today onwards, I will protect you and marry you in the future!" I shouted.

"Eh? But boys can't marry each other." He responded "I heard that from the elders when I was biking outside the house."

"Of course! Boys can marry each other," I defended "Come on, let's walk home together. "

The very next day, a new student enrolled in our grade. I stood up as the new student entered. "Hi everyone! I'm Zyaire Tyler Beaumont, please take care of me." He smiled. As he finally looked at me, he waved his hand and run up to me. "Lucas!" He shouted as he hug me. I became all red as everyone suddenly cheered.

I woke up finding Zyaire sleeping on my shoulders. I turn off the TV and look at Zee, who was asleep beside me. "Zee," I called "You should sleep in the bed,"

"Hm?"he moans and nodded. He slowly stand up, staggering, while I caught him in time. "Sorry," he whispers "I'm still a bit dizzy. Can you carry me? Although it might be weird for me to ask-" Without hesitation, I carried him in a bridal style way with the blanket around his body. As we arrived in his bedroom, I gently put him down.

I touched his forehead to see if he has still a fever and arrange his pillows and blanket. "It seems that your fever went down. But still feeling dizzy?" I asked as he nodded "Why don't you sleep? Also can I borrow some of your pillows? I'll sleep on the couch." I said as I stood up. He suddenly grab my hand and said "Y-You can sleep beside me. Plus, I don't think I can sleep alone."

I sighed and said "Fine," I said "Might as well do thi for my last 3 days with you," I mumbled

"Did you say something?" he asked

"Nope," I smiled and crawl closer beside him. After a while, he began falling asleep while I looked and admired his face more. I caressed his cheeks and whispered "You know, I dreamt about how we first met. I still remember our promise."

Just after a year Zee transferred to our school, my dad had a relocation from his work.

"Never forget me, alright Lulu?" I said as I hugged Zee while he cries.

"But you promised me!" he cried. I sighed and wipe his tears.

"You're such a cry baby, Zee." I said. I kissed his cheek and gave him the red rose pendant necklace that I requested from my dad. "You can wear it everytime and everywhere, as long as you can. And everytime you wear, please always remember me and our promise."

"Lucas! It's time to go, son!" my dad shouted as he honked the horn.

"W-When can I see you again?"

"I don't know but I like you!" I shouted as I kissed his forehead "Good bye for now!" I waved and ran to my father. After entering the car, I hug mom as I cried.

Entering college, I was pretty surprised when he didn't recognize me. But I can see that he still wears the necklace I gave him. I once asked him if why does he wear it everytime.

He simply answered "Well, I promised someone in the past. Although that memory doesn't seem vivid at all."

"I wonder if you still wear it," I said. I slowly pull down his collar and see the necklace. I blushed and covered my face. "You still wear it, huh? I thought you lost it," I said. I kissed his forehead and went to sleep myself.

‐----------------------------------

The moment I woke up, Zee was already beside me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I noticed outside that it was still dark. I checked my phone and saw that it was still early. I was startled when he suddenly sat up and moaned "What time is it?" He asked

"5am," I said "It's still early, go back to sleep." He nodded with cuteness as he crawled closer to me, using me as an arm pillow and once again wrap his arms around my waist.

"I... somehow dreamt of something from my childhood, " he yawned

"Really? Mind telling me about it?"

"There's this little boy that I promised about marriage, " he said.

"Maybe it was Eliott, " I chuckled "Which you've mistaken as a girl because of your dreams,"

"Nope, it was not Eliott." He once again yawned and drifted off to sleep. I sighed and kissed his forehead. It's me and I wanted to tell you that since a long time ago but I seem to be a coward. "Do you dream about him often? "

"Once in a while," he yawned as he slowly lose consciousness. "I think... Eliott was not my.... love... was... boy," he mumbles. I chuckled as he keeps mumbling. I stopped and looked at him as he mumbled "Lulu,"

I bit my lower lip, as I stop the urge of crying and pulled him even closer while hugging him tightly. "I love you, Zee." I whispered.

I looked up the ceiling while reminiscing another memory. During our last year college, our department held a victory party after winning the school festival. As everyone was wasted, I didn't even knew that Zyaire was a bad drunkard. He becomes a hugging monster.

"Zee," I called out while he was out of it and was sleeping on my shoulder. "Wake up. It's time to go home,"

"More!" He chuckled as he raised his fist, as if he's protesting. I stood up and carried him on my back. While I left Markus with a junior, I called Mr. Hanasawa to come pick us up.

As he arrived, he immediately opened the door as I gently put Zyaire in. "I entrust Markus to you, Ian." I said to the junior, who seems 6ft tall. He nodded as he helped Markus walk straight. I closed the door and panted.

"I didn't know that Zyaire would be a lightweight," I groaned, felt tired.

"To tell the truth, this is only his second time drinking. " Mr. Hanasawa chuckled. "His first time was when he turned 18 and became wasted. He then began to hug whoever was in his way. He said the next morning that he'll never drink again as I told him what happened, "

"I guess that explains why he clings to me like a monkey right now,"

As we arrive to his house, I once again carried him in front of me. "Lucas," his mom called out. As I turn around to greet her, his mom and dad began laughing. "He seems wasted,"

"Yup," I laughed "He won't stop clinging to people again,"

"You can take him to his room and I'll let the maids take care of him," his dad smiled "It's also getting late. Why don't you stay for the night?"

"I'll take care of him, so worry aside. But is it really alright for me to stay?" I asked

"Of course, honey." His mom said "We've always trusted Zyaire with you ever since you were younger."

His mom and dad knew me right away when Markus and I first came to hang out in his house. As well as Mr. Hanasawa. It seems that Zyaire was the only one who didn't remember. Elizabeth knew I liked Zyaire but didn't see me as a threat since she knew he was always straight.

"I've been wondering, about what you talked to us when you were a kid..."

"Yes, I still love him and that won't change." I said "I also know about the tradition in your family and I promise I won't be in the way. Just please let me love him for as long as I can. Maybe in the future he'll grow to love the one whom he will marry, I promise to give up if that day will come."

"Alright," his dad sighed "But let me tell you this, there's a possibility that the other party might disagree. I'm not saying to have high hopes but at least have a little one," he smiled "Good night,"

As I entered his room, I sighed heavily after the maids closed the door. I gently put down Zyaire while I sat down beside him. "You damn heavy ass bitch, wake up." I mocked and laughed.

" Where?" He groaned as he sat up.

"We're in your room," I said "Have you sobered up?" I asked while he suddenly sat up and crawled towards me. As he sat on thighs, he wrap his arms around me tightly. "Okay, hug monster. You can let go now," I blushed.

As he slightly push me and looked at me, I smiled and said "I'll take care of you so why don't you sit-" He suddenly leaned forward, making me stop talking and my heart beat faster. "Z-Zee, I think-" As he slammed his lips against mine, I tried pulling away but he tightened his hug as if he's desperate for me.

"At the back of my mind, I was always curious." He whispered as he kissed my neck, leaving a hickey, and touching me until his hand reached my cock. "If I would be able to take this all in, Lucas." He blushed as he rub against my pants.

I quickly slammed him on the bed, making him laugh quite loudly. His laugh suddenly start to weakened as he drifted off to sleep. "This bastard," I groaned as I look at my hard-on.

I took care of mine first then came back to change his clothes and whatnot. I panted heavily as I finished changing all of his clothes. I look at his closet and saw the clothes that I left in case I stayed over again.

But the next morning, Zyaire seemed to forget what he had done to me. So I had to make a story about what happened to us in his room. "But I never imagined you would be sleeping beside me."

-----------------------------------------------------

I woke up finding Zyaire staring at me while using my shoulders as a pillow. "G-Good morning, " he said

"Good morning, " I smiled and touched his forehead. It feels like we're newlyweds. "Feeling a lot better?"

"Yup," he smiled. "Wanna have some pancakes? or cereal? or something?" he suddenly sprung up, actively pulling me out of bed.

As I sat down on the kitchen table, I chuckled as I looked at how excited he was on mxing the ingredients. I quietly stood up and hug him from behind. "A-Are you okay?"

"I love you," I mumbled as I leaned on his shoulder and rested my head. "Zyaire, I'm transferring." His hand suddenly stopped as he turn around and face me.

"W-what? When? Where?!" he asked "I'll call Dad and tell him to cancel-" As he was about to walk towards the bedroom, I pulled him in a hug and pressed his head against my chest.

"I won't be telling you where because I know you would come and visit me all the time," I chuckled. I pulled his head to see him crying while trying to wipe his tears away. "Can I kiss you?" I asked as I slightly lean down. He bit his lower lip and suddenly pull me towards the living room. Slamming me on the couch, he climb and sat on my lap as he took off his shirt."Zee-"

He crashed his lips against mine as he caressed my cheeks. "I'm sorry, I don' think I'm able to hold back down." I groaned as I started groping his ass. Some part of me says that I should stop but this may be the last time. "I'm sorry," I said between kisses as we both had tears in our eyes.
