Ditto Dissonance (Boys' Love)

Chapter 59

I'm definitely serious with this one. Araw-araw akong magiging masaya kasama si Zern. Araw-araw kong siyang pipiliin. Palagi akong maghahanap ng dahilan para manatili sa kaniya. Alam kong mas lalalim pa ang nararamdaman ko para kay Zern. Ngayon pa nga lang nauulul na ako, tangina.

Humugot ako ng malalim na paghinga nang nagsimulang kumalabog ang dibdib ko. My heart is fucking pounding just by thinking about how I'm so in love with Zern. What the fuck.

Ang daming nagbago sa akin mula no'ng nakilala ko si Zern. I've changed. I became different from who I was before, and I'm so glad I did. Zern deserves way more, so I'll always aim for what's best for us and him.

He's my crybaby now. I'll take care of him. I'll protect him no matter what. I'll make him the happiest person. Zern deserves that. He always deserves to be happy. He's so fucking precious. SO precious. I cannot explain how much I love him. I can even cry while I'm expressing my feelings for him. That's how overflowing my feelings are for him.

As those thoughts lingered in my mind, my heart rested. My breathing subsides. My eyes slowly close as I feel the deep sleep come to me.

.・゜゜・・゜゜・．.・゜゜・・゜゜・．

I groaned when I heard Zern's voice calling me. His little pats on my arm made me open my eyes little by little. Inaantok pa akong nakatingin kay Zern. Pero kahit inaantok pa ako at hindi ko pa siya gaano makita, naaninag kong nakangiti siya kaya napangiti rin ako.

"Good morning, Caiden. . ." Zern said softly.

Nakaupo na siya sa gilid ng kama. Mukhang nakapaghilamos na siya.

Napapikit ako't nag-unat. Narinig kong mahinang natawa si Zern. I groaned loudly. I moved closer to him, and hugged him. Siniksik ko ang mukha ko sa binti niya 'saka niya pinaglaruan ang buhok ko. I love when he does that.

"Gising na, Caiden. . ." he said joyfully while chuckling. "May pasok pa tayo. Tapos may work pa. Then pinapapunta pa tayo ni Tita sa bahay ninyo."

"Uhmm. . ." I groaned and didn't budge.

Natawa si Zern. "Inaantok ka pa? Hindi ka na papasok?" Sabi niya.

Humugot ako ng malalim na paghinga bago nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. Nakangiti siya nang malawak habang nakatingin sa akin. He's so beautiful. What a great morning.

Tumihaya na ako. Inilahad ko ang kamay ko sa kaniya at tinanggap niya 'yon. Hinila ko siya para makaurong pa siya palapit pa sa akin. But instead of letting go of his hand, I intertwined it with mine.

"Good morning, my love. . ." maamo kong sabi sa mababang boses.

Zern bit his lower lip to stop himself from smiling, but he failed. He smiled from ear to ear while squeezing my hand tighter.

"Ih. . ." sabi ni Zern habang kinikilig.

Napangiti ako't mahinang natawa. He's so adorable. Nakaka-in love 'yung mukha niya. I can stare at him all day. Zern is just so. . . pretty.

Namula ang pisngi niya mas dumidiin pa ang pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko kaya mas natatawa ako at gano'n din siya.

"How's my baby's sleep, hmm?" Sabi ko sa mababang boses.

He giggled like a baby. Mas lumawak ang ngisi ko. Can he stop being this adorable?

"Okay lang. Masarap 'yung tulog ko. Ang warm ng katawan mo. Nagising nga ako na nakatalikod ako sa 'yo, pero nakayakap ka pa rin sa akin mula sa likuran," sabi ni Zern.

I licked my lips. "I didn't get enough sleep. . ." I almost whispered.

His brows raised. Worry was apparent from his expression. "Hmm, why? May in-overthink ka ba?" Malambing na sabi ni Zern.
