Tammi

It was almost midnight when they finished their assignments and group study. Stan looked outside, no one is there anymore. It's too quiet. Tammi went out of the toilet and go to the dining room to get something to eat. When he comes out of the dining room he has a plate of steamed bananas and potatoes. He gave it to him. He picked one of the steamed bananas. He looked at the two girls. Blake is lying on the sofa while Lyka is sitting on the floor, both are sleeping.

"Do you have an extra bed Tam? He asked while looking at the girls. Tammi nodded

"I have an extra cushion there." he answered "I'll just finish this," he added and ate the whole banana. He goes to his room and gets the cushion bed and bedsheet. Stan helped him fix the bed and placed a pillow and blanket for the two girls. Stan went to Blake and carried her to the bed. Tammi goes to Lyka and tried to wake her up but she just doesn't wake up. He carried her and bring her to the bed and lay her beside Blake. They put a blanket on them.

"You sleep in my room," Tammi said, he stopped

"Ha?" he asked unbelievably

"I said, you sleep in my room." Tammi repeated "I'll just take a bath." he added and went to the toilet.

Though hesitant, he goes to Tammi's room. His room is clean and in order considering Tammi is very manly. His shoes are placed properly. His books and notebooks are neatly placed on the study table. You can't see any clothes hanging in the room. His bed is big and wide. I think his parents considered Tammi's size. Two persons can fit on this bed. He sits at the study table and looked at the picture in the frame. That's when Tammi entered the room. He only wears a towel on his waist. His wet, bare and intact chest is showing making him swallow. Tammi has a very nice body built because of the fact that he is an athlete. Tammi goes to the cabinet to get his boxer. He looked at him from head to toe. HE HAS A NICE BACK he said when he noticed Tammi's full butt. He just watches him wear his boxers. Tammi gets another towel and gives it to him

"What?" he asked

"Are you not going to wash your face?" Tammi asked

"No need. I showered before coming here," he answered

"Okay," he said and put the towel back in the cabinet and removed the one on his waist, and placed it on a hanger. He gasped seeing Tammi's almost naked body in front of him. He felt his cheek getting hot. He is blushing. He looked away and just fix his eyes on the photo on the table. "I thought you want to clean your face first before going to sleep." Tammi added "Your face is oily." he said while going in the direction of the bed. Tammi sits on the bed and placed a clean blanket on the side where Stan will sleep." Let's sleep." he said to him and lay on the bed. His heart thumps like a rolling drum.

"I'll, I'll wash my face." he utterly said and rushes to the toilet to wash his face, Tammi just nodded with his eyes closed.

He washed his face trying to calm himself, especially Little Stan who was awakened by the sight of Tammi. STAN he said to himself STOP IT. HE IS YOUR FRIEND! He said to himself and repeatedly wash his face until his feelings calmed down. He goes back to Tammi's room. The lights are off only a small nightlamp on the table is lit. He looked for the towel to wipe his face and found it hanging at the back of the door. He laid beside him slowly and carefully to not awake Tammi. HE SMELLS NICE he said to himself when he smells his scent. He looked at his face. He has nice eyebrows and long eyelashes. A nicely carved nose and natural pink lips. He moved closer to him to breathe his breath. He closed his eyes and listen to his thumping heart. He smiled. He is happy. He wished this will never end. He stares at Tammi again until he falls asleep.

4 AM

He woke up to the sound of the rooster's crow. He looked at the surroundings and realized that his head is lying on Stan's shoulder and his arms is embracing him. Stan is also embracing him while asleep. He looked at Stan. This is the first time that he looked at his friend closely. Stan is a very handsome boy, he has white skin, a very nice nose and lips. He has very smooth skin and he smells very good. His eyes are fixed on Stan's lips. It has a very nice bow shape. He felt shy, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? He asked himself. He removed his embrace from Stan's body and move to his own pillow. As soon as he lay on his side of the bed. Stan moves toward him and lays its head on his chest. Stan embraced him and he felt him sniff his scent. He felt warm. He sniffed the scent of Stan's hair. He smells so nice. He feels something in him. Something weird. It makes his heart beat faster. He waited to see if Stan will wake up, but he is deeply asleep. And slowly he feels something down there waking up. SHIT! He said to himself. He looked out the window to calm himself YOU STUPID TAMMI he said to himself and he closed his eyes trying his best to calm himself. He buried his face in Stan's hair and smell it until he finally falls asleep.

6 AM

"Tammi" he heard Tammi's mom calling "Wake up. Blake and Lyka already went home" she added. He opened his eyes and looked at the room. IT'S MORNING he said and looked up he saw Tammi's face. He was surprised and realized that he is laying on Tammi's chest and he is embracing him. Tammi's face is buried in his hair. He gets up quickly not knowing what to do. Tammi woke up because of what he did.

"My chest feels numb. You are so heavy," said Tammi, he blushed

"Sorry I'm used to having pillows by my side when I'm asleep," he said

"It's alright." he said "Have some breakfast first before you go home." he offered, he shakes his head as he is very very shy

"It's alright. I'll have it at home," he answered, Tammi, nodded and closes his eyes

"I will go now," he said and went out of the room. He saw Tammi's Mom in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Good morning." he greeted her

"Good morning. Where is Tammi?" she asked

"He still sleeping." he said " I will go ahead," he said and grab his bag from the table

"Alright be safe," she said to him, he just looked at her and smiled and went on his way home.

He walked straight with his head down. This is not the first time that he slept with Tammi in one room. But this is the first time that they slept embracing each other and he doesn't have any violent reaction when they woke up. He stopped and looked back at Tammi's house. BUT IM HAPPY he said IM HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU ALL NIGHT he added and starts to walk away.

4:30 PM

The class is over and the cleaners are left to clean the room before going home. Lyka and Stan went to a meeting with the Chairman of the SGO to complete the draft of the schedules of events. Tammi and Blake, we're one of the cleaners. Tammi has training at 5 PM but will help first in cleaning the room when Blakes's phone rang

"Hello? Sasha?" she answered

"Hello, Blake. Direk sent a message advising us to report to the theatre at 5 PM." said the voice on the other line

"Alright. I'll be there at 5," she answered and the call ended.

"What is it?" Tammi asked her while sweeping the floor

"Sasha. She called to let me know that we need to report to the theatre at 5 PM" she answered, Tammi just nodded

"Uhm Tammi." she said

"Oh?" he answered

"About Lyka? What do you think of her?" she asked

"Lyka." he said while thinking "Lyka is small, cheerful, naughty, grumpy, and stubborn," he said, she smiled unbelievably

"Grumpy?" she said ad laughed

"Not only that. She is brave and strong. She can match me in boxing you know." Tammi added "Wait why do you ask?" he said.

"Nothing." she said "I'm just curious because yesterday when we saw you and her-" she stopped and think about what she saw yesterday

"What?" Tammi asked

"Nothing," she said

"Oh c'mon tell me," he said smiling, she looked at Tammi and their eyes met

"You look good together," she said, Tammi changed his mood and looked at her seriously. He pats her head and fixed her bangs

"Lyka is like a sister to me." he said "If there is a girl that I would think of courting." he added and looked straight into her eyes "It's you," he said and smiled and went back to what he is doing, she felt annoyed

"Tell me it's a joke," she demands

"Then it is a joke." he answered

"Tammi." she called him

"What?" he asked again

"Tell me it's a joke," she demanded again

"Then it's a joke." he answer again and laughed

"It's not funny," she said annoyingly

"Why? Do you not like me?" he asked smiling sarcastically

"Yes." she answered right away

"Then don't." he answered "Can we finish now I have training at 5 PM," he said. She placed the broom and dustpan in the keep. And they go out of the room. He gets the lock and key from Blake. "Don't worry I'm just kidding." he said comforting her "I will never cross that line," he added and winks at her and gave back the key.

"Why are you giving it to me?" she asked

"You will pass by the main building when you go to the theatre." he said "My training is until 8 PM do you think Lyka will wait for me?." he added, she nodded in agreement

"Okay," she answered

"I'll go ahead," he said and walked towards the direction of the Gym. While she walks in the direction of the main building.

Tammi arrived at the Gym and he went directly to the locker room to change clothes and shoes. While changing he recalls his conversation with Blake. Especially when she answered YES to his question earlier if she doesn't like him. He felt sad. I HAVEN'T STARTED YET BUT I AM ALREADY REJECTED he said to himself. He leaned on the locker. Blake is his ultimate crush since grade school but never attempted to confess because of their friendship. And besides his father liked Lyka very much and he always reminded him to take care of her. It seems like, he is preparing him for their future together. He drowned in these thoughts when his teammates arrived. They greeted him and changed their clothes and went to the court together to do warm-ups. Suddenly a teammate approached him.

"Bro can I ask you something?" he asked

"What?" he answered

"Does Lyka have a boyfriend?" he asked, he looked at him confusingly

"You are the second person who asked me about her today," he said sounding annoyed

"Really? Someone would like to go out with her too?" his teammate asked surprised and worried at the same time, he looked at his team-mate curiously

"You want to ask her out?" he asked him

"Yes." the boy answered "I want to date her." the boy added, he nodded

"Well go ahead if you can break Stan." he said, the boy looked at him with a confused face, He placed his arm on his teammate's shoulder and said "You know my friend. Lyka and Stan are my best friends. And I know for a fact that Stanley likes Angelica since I can't remember how long." he said "Don't you see how he keeps her on his side?" he asked, his friend nodded "It's not that I am discouraging you, but, you know, it depends on you," he added, his friend shakes his head

"Thank you." he told him "Thank you my rival is so handsome."

"Right," he answered

"SGO President." the boy added

"Right," he answered

"Campus crush." the boy added again

"Right" he answered again

"Schools representative in every competition." the boy added again

"Right again." he answered and tapped his teammate's shoulder

"It's alright Bro." he said "We'll be single until older." he said, the boy nodded "Long Live The Singles!" he shouted and raised his hand, and all their teammates looked at them

"Hail!" they responded to him and they all laughed.
