Dear, Tam | Kam Fanfiction

Chapter 5

Tam looked at the group photo. He didn't scratch out Keefe's face, he just... covered it. He was able to uncover it if he really wanted to. But he didn't want to see the smug look on Keefe's face from that day.

Tam grabbed his books and shoved them in his bag, along with the letter and note.
"Uh, give the cupcakes here."
Linh handed Tam the box and he looked at her. A smile grew on Tam's face as he seen Linh's face was covered in frosting.

"You should clean up, you look like a pig." Tam grinned.
"Fuck you." Linh snickered, grabbing a tissue from her bag and wiping her mouth.
Tam let out a laugh as he placed the box of cupcakes in his bag and shut his locker. Linh shut her locker once she got her books into her bag.

"Any reason to believe it could be Biana?" Linh questioned.
Tam shrugged.
"Eh, I dunno." Tam said.
"Mmh, maybe we can have lunch with Biana again, you could eat a cupcake in front of her and see if she'll like stare at you to see if you like it!" Linh suggested.
Tam shrugged, scrunching up his nose. "Ehh..."

"Hey, you wanna know who likes you and it's most likely Biana. From the evidence we have so far." Linh said.
"What evidence do we have it's Biana?" Tam questioned.
"Well, first of all she acted suspicious when I asked about the letters!" Linh stated.
"The glitter is hers-"
"other people can have the same kind of glitter."
"The flowers! The ones I've seen in her bedroom!"
"Uh, many of the same flower?"

Linh looked at Tam, scoffing.
"Tam..."
"I'm not getting my hopes up." Tam rolled his eyes.
"When we have more evidence, we'll go with it."
Linh grumbled.
"God, you're difficult to convince..." Linh mumbled.
Tam rolled his eyes.
"C'mon let's head to class." Tam said, walking off.
Linh followed Tam, walking alongside him.

"Oh, Tam and Linh are at a table." Biana said.
"Ugh, Biana please no-" Keefe began.
"Tam has the box of cupcakes out." Fitz said, glancing at how Linh was already snacking on a cupcake.
"Oh, you should've said so! Let's go check on them!" Keefe exclaimed.
"Gosh, you change your mind quickly." Biana mumbled.

The three of them appraoched the table.
"What up Song twins?!" Keefe exclaimed, sliding down next to Tam.
Tam grumbled as he shuffled over.
"Who gave you permission to sit next to me?" Tam questioned, looking at the blonde.
"I did, of course." Keefe smiled.
Tam rolled his eyes while Biana and Fitz sat across Tam and Linh.

"Hey, hope you don't mind." Biana smiled.
"Oh of course not." Linh smiled.
"Uh, Tam's secret admirer made cupcakes! I already had my two. Tam's been saving his two."
"Oh? Are they good?" Biana asked.
Linh glanced at Tam.
"Eh, not sweet enough. But probably perfect for Tam." Linh said.
Tam grabbed a cupcake.
"The cases are... interesting." Tam stated.
"Awh, it's cute." Linh said, nudging Tam.

Keefe looked at the cases.
"Yeah Tammy, it's cutee~!" Keefe teased, leaning in closer to Tam.
"I can smell your stinky breath, get the hell away from me Sencen." Tam scowled, elbowing Keefe.
Keefe snickered as Tam uncovered the cake from the case.
Keefe kinda stared at Tam as he hesitantly took a bite from the cupcake.

As Tam chewed, he licked his lips, getting any bit of frosting off his face.
Tam swallowed it and he seemed to smile a little.
Keefe bit his lower lip as he stared at Tam.
Keefe then yelped as he felt someone kick his ankle.
Keefe glared at Fitz and Fitz raised his eyebrows at Keefe.

Suddenly, Keefe heard Fitz's voice in his head.
"Stare at Tam like that any longer and I'll be convinced you're falling in love with him." Fitz had transmitted to Keefe.
Keefe glared at Fitz and glanced back at Tam who ate the cupcake, munching on it.

Keefe felt some strange emotion coming from Tam. Keefe glanced at their shoulders and noticed the were touching.
Keefe smiled to himself, looking at the table as he felt a wave of positive emotions overcome Tam.

"You like it?" Linh questioned Tam.
Tam nodded.
"It's... perfect, yeah." Tam said.
"It's not super sweet."
Biana glanced at Keefe and noticed such a goofy grin on his face. She raised her eyebrows and she looked at Fitz.
Fitz looked at Biana and made a very annoyed face.

"He's definitely falling for Tam." Fitz had transmitted into Biana's mind.
Biana snickered quietly and looked away.
Keefe looked at the two Vacker siblings and he raised his eyebrows.

"What's so funny?" Keefe questioned.
"Mmh? Nothing, Fitz just... transmitted me a joke." Biana smiled.
"You wouldn't understand it, it's an inside joke."
Keefe looked at the two siblings suspiciously.
"If you think you know what's happening, then you don't." Keefe scowled at the two.
"I do not feel that way, I know myself better than anyone else and I am an empath for fuck's sake. I know my emotions!"

Keefe slammed his hands against the table, startling Linh and also Tam.
Biana frowned at Keefe.
"Keefe, oh come on-" Biana began as Keefe got up and stormed off.
Biana groaned and she looked at Fitz.
"Leave him." Fitz said.
"He'll cool down."

Tam and Linh glanced at each other.
"Uh, what's happening with Keefe?" Linh asked, looking at Biana and Fitz.
Fitz cleared his throat.
"Let's say, he says he doesn't feel this way towards a person even though it's sort of clear that he's... well falling for them." Fitz stated.
Tam raised his eyebrows.
"Someone who isn't Sophie?" Tam questioned.
"Someone who isn't Sophie." Biana nodded.
"Shocker. He pined for her for years." Tam said, finishing his cupcake.

Biana stared at how Tam finished his cupcake happily.
"You actually like the cupcakes?" Biana asked.
Tam nodded.
"Yeah, really good." Tam said.
"Better be good, I got egged for just trying to help..." Fitz mumbled under his breath.

Biana elbowed Fitz and Fitz scowled.
Linh raised an eyebrow.
"... Uh, okay."
Linh glanced at Tam and Tam made a face at Linh.
"No." Tam said.
"I'm telling you-" Linh began.
"Nuh-uh." Tam shook his head.

Tam shut the box of cupcakes and shoved them into his bag again.
He tugged his bangs and he bit his inner cheek.
Keefe likes someone and was in denial about it? That didn't seem like the empath. Usually he'd try and flirt with the person right away.

It wasn't like Tam cared, he was just... a bit suspicious.
