Around 6 pm in the evening, Axel finally arrived at Sirius' place, together with an uninvited guest, Cypher Yoon.
Axel was wondering if Cypher was stalking him at first, but it turns out they were going to the same place. Meanwhile, Cypher seemed to recognize him, at napaisip kung ano ang pakay ng singer sa kaibigan nito.
Sirius wasn't even shock to see Cypher anymore when he opened the door, because he always comes uninvited. Lalo na kapag rest day niya, just to hang out of course. Fortunately, he prepared their dinner enough to feed them all.
"Where's Lyron?", Axel Hamada immediately asked upon entering his friend's condo. Sirius just pointed the way to his room and signaled Cypher to follow him in the kitchen.
"Sino yun pre? Your friend? And who's Lyron? Why is he in your room?", sunod-sunod na tanong ni Cypher habang papunta sila sa kitchen para mag prepare ng dinner nila. Cypher brought some wine with him which he always do whenever he visits Sirius' place.
"That's my friend Axel Hamada. Lyron is a member of the group Apollo the same as Axel, and the reason why he's here was, because I saved him from getting kidnapped by a weirdo at the bar last night", Sirius explained and handed Cypher four plates.
"What happened? I mean, you're usually not the type to intervene on other people's businesses even about things like that. What's the catch? Trip mo?", Cypher teasingly stated as he placed the plates carefully on the table.
"Fuck off Yoon, and keep your dirty thoughts to yourself", pagsaway ni Sirius sa kaibigan niya saka inayos na ang niluto niyang makakain nila.
He prepared chicken curry, fried marinated pork tenderloin and rice, served with the wine that Cy brought with him, for their dinner. As soon as they finished preparing the food and the table, Sirius immediately went to call Lyron and Axel who were still talking.
"Dinner's ready, let's eat", Sirius stated and immediately went back to the dinner area. Sumunod naman sa kaniya ang dalawa. Agad namang hinila ni Cypher ang upuan na uupuan ni Lyron para maka-upo ito ng maayos. Axel is still supporting Lyron until he was able to sit down and immediately sat down on his own chair.
Sirius just watched the three awkwardly fall into silence as soon as they all sat down to eat. Lyron is sitting across him, meanwhile Axel and Cypher are also sitting across each other.
"Prepared na prepared ka naman sa pagdating ko, di naman halatang pinaghandaan mo", Axel stated, breaking the silence between the four of them. Lyron chuckled and so did Cypher. Sirius just shrugged his shoulder and started eating.
"In fairness, sa tagal nating magkaibigan ngayon ko lang natikman luto mo. Nakakasakit ng damdamin na panay delivery ang pinapakain mo sa'kin. Favoritism ka ah, oh baka naman nagpapa impress", Cypher stated that earned him a death glare from Sirius.
"Tatahimik ka or ito na din ang huling kain mo ng dinner?", pagbabanta ni Sirius kay Cypher. The latter immediately closed his mouth and zipped his mouth teasingly. Lyron couldn't stop himself from chuckling which is why he choked from the food in his mouth. Sirius immediately stood up and poured him a glass of water and handed it to Axel to make Lyron drink it.
"Okay ka lang? Lunok muna kasi bago tawa. Di ka nga matutuluyan sa kidnapper, matutuluyan ka naman dahil sa pagtawa mo habang kumakain. Pangit na headline sa news yun tanga", Axel stated while he's caressing Lyron's back gently.
"Thank you.. sorry.. sorry", Lyron stated while still laughing. Sirius remained looking at Lyron which Cypher caught. He cleared his throat to get his attention, which made Sirius get back to his senses. Cypher can't help but observe his friend, but also his eyes can't stop glancing at Axel Hamada. He just find the guy pretty, that's all.
After the dinner, they decided to have the wine in the living room and just talk about what happened to Lyron that night. Axel also brought Lyron's phone back to him. Fortunately he left his phone at his seat back then, kung hindi ay baka nawala na ito.
"Oh by the way I haven't introduced myself yet. I think kilala niyo naman na ako pero magpapakilala pa din ako HAHAHAHA I'm Cypher Yoon, just call me Cy, pwede ring mine"
Axel and Lyron frowned and awkwardly took his hand for a handshake, because of his statement. He poured some wine on the two singer's glasses before pouring on Sirius' and his.
"Get out. Dude you're too cheesy", Sirius stated which made Cy glare at him and sat down on his chair.
"Ikaw nga sobrang "Sirius" nagreklamo ba ako?", he rebutted which made Lyron and Axel let out a chuckle. Sirius gave Cy a warning look which he just shrugged off.
"By the way sino kayo, at kaano-ano kayo nitong higanteng ito?", pagtatanong ni Cypher sa dalawa at saka tumingin ng mapang-asar kay Sirius.
"I'm Axel Hamada and this is Lyron Park. We're Sirius' friend, well technically I am his childhood friend while Lyron is.. I am just assuming they're friends now. Pala desisyon ako eh", Axel playfully stated which made Cypher grin. Maybe because he thinks that Axel and him has the same vibe.
"So you're here to bring Lyron home, I think?", Cypher asked and looked at Axel while waiting for his answer. Sirius suddenly became attentive on their topic while still composing himself not to react too much.
"I was thinking about bringing him at my place so I could watch over him kaso malayo. Hindi ko naman siya pwedeng iuwi sa condo niya because no one's gonna take care of him there", Axel explained which made Lyron nod in agreement.
"Meaning?", pagtatanong pa din ni Cypher. His eyes and Axel's met when the latter looked at him before looking at Sirius.
"Well, if it's okay with Riu, I think Lyron should stay here tonight to fully recover first, and then he can move out tomorrow", Axel stated and waited for Sirius' response.
"It's fine. My conscience will only eat me if I let him go on that state", saad ni Sirius na nagpangiti sa tatlo, pero dahil sa iba't-ibang rason.
"Gusto mo ba stay din tayo dito for the night? Pwede tayo mag tabi. Suggestion lang naman", Cypher teasingly stated towards Axel.
"No thanks, mukhang di ka naliligo. Uuwi na lang ako", Axel rejected his offer immediately. Cypher on the other hand acted like he got hurt. Meanwhile, Lyron chuckled at the silliness of the two.
"I second that", pahabol pa ni Sirius kaya naman agad na nagkamot ng ulo si Cypher habang nakatingin ng masama sa kaibigan.
"Grabe kayo sa'kin ah, thrice a week naman ako maligo no!", saad ni Cypher. Sabay-sabay namang napatingin sa kaniya ang tatlo sabay sabing.
"Disgusting"
"Yuck"
"Eww kadiri"
Cypher awkwardly laugh and sat down on his chair again. He even pouted which he usually does when he's acting hurt by his friends teasing towards him. Axel immediately fell for it, and felt bad about teasing him.
"Sorry, joke lang yun. Wag ka na sad diyan papangit ka lalo. Sabay na lang tayo bumaba", saad ni Axel kay Cypher, na agad namang ngumiti sa kaniya at tumango.
Sirius just rolled his eyes and didn't mind telling Axel that Cy was only acting sad, he just shrugged and continue cleaning up the table they used.
After he send them out, Lyron and Sirius remained silent as Sirius continued to fix the things they used. Lyron started to walk on his own towards the guest room, but Sirius stopped him.
"Not in there. Get inside my room, it's more comfortable there", Sirius stated. He actually didn't think about that when he brought Lyron home the other night. The room isn't even cleaned yet and there's no foam on the bed either. Anyone who would sleep there would make their backs hurt.
"Okay lang naman, isa pa I stayed there last night. There's no problem about me staying there again", Lyron stated and looked at Sirius.
"No, I insist. What's there to worry about? We're both guys anyway", Sirius convinced Lyron and the latter couldn't do anything anymore but to follow what the taller was suggesting. He immediately went inside the actor's room and sat down on the bed. Agad namang sumunod sa kaniya sa loob si Sirius.
"Do you still feel pain?", the actor asked while he's preparing a shirt and a pajama for him to wear to sleep. Lyron just shook his head and smiled at the actor.
"Here you can brush your teeth, I'll just take a quick shower", Sirius stated and offered Lyron an extra brush. Sirius went inside the bathroom first and closed the shower area before he started taking a quick shower. Lyron then followed the actor inside to brush his teeth and wash his face quickly.
Afterwards, he went back to the bed and tucked himself inside the comforter and decided to check his phone. He then had an idea to text Nabe, and tell him about what happened to him. As soon as he sent his message, he suddenly heard a notification. He noticed Sirius' phone on top of the table beside the tv, and it was certainly the one who got a notification. He just shrugged it off and shook his head, not caring about the coincidence.
After Sirius finished taking a bath, he was already wearing his clothes and sat down on the sofa next to the window. Lyron remained looking at him and Sirius noticed it.
"You wanna say something?", Sirius asked and faced Lyron. The singer just smiled at him and rested his back on the head rest of Sirius' bed. What Sirius said was true though, his room is comfortable, specially his bed and the scent that his room has, was pretty calming for him.
"Hmm.. thanks again about last night. Pero bakit andiyan ka?", Lyron stated. Sirius immediately stood up from the sofa and walked towards his bed and sat down on it, facing Lyron.
"Don't thank me, anyone will do it if they're in the same situation as I am that night", saad nito na nagpangiti kay Lyron. Now he knows that the actor wasn't really as bad as he think he was when they first met. He can be rude, but deep inside he has a kind heart.
"What can I do to repay your kindness? I mean, somehow I wanted to thank you sa kahit anong paraan na kaya ko", saad ni Lyron. Sirius chuckled and shook his head. The singer seemed to be someone who's persistent and won't give up easily, not until you give hime what he wanted.
"Alright, I'll have three wishes. My first wish is for you to sing me a song right now. I'll tell you the next one later on", Lyron smiled at the actor's statement. Sirius then rested his back at the head board, mimicking the singer's position and closed his eyes.
Lyron decided to sing the song that he and Axel are currently producing, which made Sirius open his eyes a little and let out a deep sigh.
He just kept on singing for him while he's staring at the actor. Too bad the song isn't finished yet, but before he could even finish singing the last line they've made recently, he caught the tears rolling down Sirius' cheeks.
He couldn't help but gently wipe them, which made Sirius open his eyes. Lyron remained staring at the taller while he's caressing his cheeks gently.
Sirius' teary eyes met Lyron's sincere and caring gazes. Lyron couldn't help but to fall for the actor's eyes, for they were so beautiful and yet so sad. It makes him want to know Sirius' more and take care of him until the sadness in his eyes will perish.
"Lyron.. you—", Sirius' words were cut off by Lyron, when he suddenly gave the actor a peck on the lips. He didn't know why but he felt the urge of doing it. He immediately closed his eyes, thinking that Sirius might get mad at him but what the actor did got him more shocked.
He felt the actor's lips on his, kissing him gently. After a second, he responded and soon their kisses got a little deeper and deeper. Sirius slowly pulled away from the kiss and stared at Lyron while he's caressing the singer's cheeks.
"Silly.. go to sleep and have lots of rest", Sirius whispered while his ears are turning red, before he let go of Lyron's face. Meanwhile, Lyron immediately turned red and looked away upon realizing what had happened. He actually initiated the kiss with the actor. He just kissed Sirius Watanabe, and he won't even deny that he liked it.
