Being partnered on a mission with the girl he secretly likes seemed to be out of his control.
With each of Ying's voice echoes a ticklish feeling in his ears, sending a chill inside his being. With each of her glance, sends warmth on his cheeks. But the worst was that, even if she was with him, he knew that she can never love him.
Fang sighed heavily. How can he even fell in love with a cheerful girl like her? To him, she was warmth. She was his own Sun. The one who gave life to his unrequited feelings. But she was also the one who destroys him inside. With the warmth she gave, he burned together with his feelings.
"Hey, Spike head! You're going a wrong way! Hey!" He heard her talking to her again. He groaned.
He purposely walk ahead from her because when he saw her lithe figure in front of him, his eyes travels to her hands. He wanted to grab them, and kiss them. He wanted to tell her how much his feelings are burning ever since he realized that he was in love with one of his best friends.
But...
He chose not to tell. Even if it hurts, Ying and Boboiboy love each other, and everyone supports them, even him.
Lately, he decided to walk ahead from him to clear his thoughts and just focus on the mission.
"FA-"
With him walking in long and heavy steps, he did not notice that he was approaching to the bushes.
His thoughts about Ying was cut off when he tripped on a group of small alien rocks. He lose his balance and landed himself on the bush. "OMPF!"
Ying dashed next to him in a blink of an eye and quickly helped him to get up. "Hey, what's wrong? Something's bothering you."
With one clear view of Ying's worried face, his heart ached again. He just completely lost track of his surroundings when Ying wiped his mischiefed face carefully using her own hands. He studied her worried expression. Her furrowed eyebrows met and her mouth was into a small pout of concentration. And again, he couldn't help but blush.
Ying noticed them, "Your face. It's red. You're might be sensitive with those bushes. Wait." She get her mission tablet and started to browse for some data about the bushes in the foreign planet.
Fang shook his head to revive his focus. "Y-You don't have to. I'm fine. Let's focus on the mission that Admiral Tarung and Commander Kukuci had told us." He started walking ahead from her again.
Ying made a face. Sometimes, she couldn't really understand the Spike head. Now, she was annoyed, "Aiyah! Don't even think on sabotaging this mission when the allergies start to infest that rude face of yours."
Rude face? "
Fang stopped from walking and faced her for the first time, "Excuse me?" he pointed himself, "I have a rude face? Ha!" He laughed at her. "Do you even have any idea that this 'rude face' you're calling have many countless women in the galaxy fawn over it?"
Ying crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "There goes the bragging alien again. I've heard that a zillionth times, Spike head. No need to repeat your bragging."
Fang had become vain, as always when talking about popularity. So Ying walked ahead of him.
It was his turn to cross his arms and adjusts his glasses. He laughed, "Why are you walking away? Can't you resist my charm, milady?" He started teasing her.
Ying gave him a smug look, "Thankfully, I'm immune to your charm, Spike head."
Fang smirked and adjusted his glasses again. That's what he loves about her. And he suddenly chuckled to himself.
Seeing him like this makes her feel annoyed, plus, he is laughing at nothing. "Uhm, hello? Did the allergies from those bushes hitting on you right now? Aiyah! You're just slowing down this mission, Fang! Get a hold of yourself. You're acting weird."
After his chuckle, he looked at her in a rather, sexy fashion. "When you say that, you are just really proving that you like me. Come on, just say it, Ying." God. What the heck is he saying right now? She might punch him to death.
She gave him again a smug look and proceeded from walking.
Making another chance, because he is not a man of words, he asked,"By the way, how old are you right now?"
"I just turned 24 last year, hello?" She replied, looking again on her tablet. Clearly not interested, but for this mission to be finish.
"Oh. What a perfect time,"
"For what?" Ying curiously looked back at him when she noticed that he stopped from walking and was quiet.
She saw Fang's two hands glow with purplish black spheres. She raised her right brow in confusion, "Hey." She snapped.
He did not respond, but instead, she noticed his red eyes glow from behind his glasses.
She was alarmed. "What's wrong? Is something bad coming to get us? Where?" She looked left and right for any suspicious alien monsters.
But she was surprised when she noticed that she cannot move. She looked down and two black hands were holding them. She looked at Fang who was responsible for this because of his Shadow Manipulation power. "HEY, FANG! NOT FUNNY!"
Fang fixed his serious red eyes to her. Though his eyes were his normal color, Ying can't get over the fact that it's staring at her in a rather 'un-Fang' way. She gulp and started to laugh nervously at him. "Hehe. C'mon, you're no fun. You should be used to this, no hard feelings. Aiyah! No using of attacks to your partner!"
He chuckled silently. Ying tried her best to move her feet but no luck. She gave him an annoyed look and was supposed to summon her Time Manipulation Power, but another shadow hands grabbed hers. "FANG!"
Seeing her trapped in his own shadows suddenly made him brave. "It's been so long, I see." He said silently.
Ying had to raise her brows again in confusion.
"Ying, you're... You're... How do I put this," he scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Aiyah! What's wrong with you, Fang!?"
"I don't know..." He replied, looking on the ground. It was the time that he realized his surroundings. This planet was filled with bushes and he can see a clear view on the horizon that it's almost noon.
"You don't know?" He heard Ying's annoyed voice and he saw that she was trapped by his own shadow hands. "Hey, Spike head, are you just goofing around, huh? It's not like you. You're starting to get weird. Are you really okay?"
It took him to reply, "I... I don't know,"
Ying gave him a 'really' look and to him, it just made her more cute. God. He needs to control himself. "Do you feel on attacking me?"
Fang blushed at her question.
What Ying was supposed to mean was 'is there something behind that manipulates him to attack her, for example, a power sphera or an alien monster'. But Fang interpreted the word 'attacking me' as something more... More intimate.
"Fang? Your face is red again! Are you really sure you're okay?" Ying tried to search for his blushing face staring on the ground.
Ying was an intelligent woman. With spirit so active, so happy, and an extraordinary mind that can analyze a certain situation, yet why can't she not read that this alien boy loves her too.
She called back his consciousness again, "Hey? Are you okay?"
ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY?
IS HE REALLY OKAY?
GAAAAH! HE CAN'T TAKE THIS ACHING FEELING ANYMORE!
With him not noticing walking quickly to her, he grabbed her collar. Thanks to her lithe figure, he easily raised her up. "I'M FREAKISHLY NOT OKAY WHENEVER YOU'RE AROUND ME, OKAY?! YOU'RE SO SHALLOW. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING TOWARDS YOU FOR YEARS, DON'T YOU? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE FOR KUKUCI'S SAKE! YOU'RE ONE GIFTED HUMAN BEING!" He shook her in a depressing manner, "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE MY THOUGHTS? WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN MY HEAD?! WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS! WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME LIKE THIS--"
"HEEEEEY!" Ying screamed at the top of her lungs. For Kukuci's sake she doesn't understand what he's talking about, "YOU BETTER LET GO OF ME, FANG!"
"CAN YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING TO YOU A MOMENT AGO BEFORE YOU SCREAMED?!"
"WHAT THE HELL! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO FIRST YELLED AT ME ON THE THINGS I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND! PUT ME DOWN AND I WILL PUNCH YOU, YOU-" Ying struggled hard to free herself. She even tried to reach out for Fang's purple unruly hair but he blocked her hands with his shadow hands.
"SHIT! I LOVE YOU, YING! I AM CERTAINLY AND DEPRESSINGLY IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU SHRIMP! YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?" Ying was struggling to break free until she froze in her tracks.
"W-Wha- Hm!" She was cut off with Fang's cold and shaking lips landed on hers. The kiss was rough at the first second but turned into a soft and passionate one afterwards. Shit. This alien is out of his mind. Thanks to her now free hands she can definitely shove his body away from her after a heavy pull.
She slapped him. Hard. On his right cheek.
Both of them were panting and both of their lips were red. Ying had to cover her mouth from the shock.
Because of that, Fang immediately realized what he did and saw Ying's shocked face staring at him. "I-" he stared at the ground. Bullshark. He was indeed a fool.
"H-How..." He heard her voice crack and he look at her. She was still covering her mouth and he can see that behind them was her blushing cheeks.
He took a deep breathe, "I know you and Boboiboy love each other, yes, I can see it. But once in a while, I just can't control this feelings that I have for you, Ying. I... I'm sorry." He almost wanted to cry. Dang. The familiar pain in his chest is there again.
Ying gave him a serious look. Her once cheerful glance was replaced by a very different one. "Fang... You know that Boboiboy and I are going to be married. I don't want our friendship to be destroyed because of this. I love Boboiboy. And you know that. I'm sorry if- If I can't return your feelings."
"No. I should be the one to apologize for what I did. And for still loving you until all this time." He said in an almost whisper voice.
Ying tried to reach out to him but he backed away, "NO! Please no."
Fang tried his best on keeping his cool. He looked at her in the most sincere way that he could muster, "Please don't be sorry for me. I will-" he tried his best for his voice on not to crack, "I will still always be supporting you and Boboiboy. I will never forget our friendship because I respect that. I'll always be happy for the both of you. But... I just confessed to you because it's kind of a sudden. Please forgive me!" He bowed down his head.
Ying lifted his face, "Fang... I'm very grateful that you feel for me that way. But... I know that you know that I can't repay your love for me. I hope... I hope you won't feel bad because you're always there for me." She hugged him.
But you're too late on confessing to me. Was all she only have to control from telling.
Fang heard her sniff as she hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry..."
He hugged her too but more tightly as hers. All of the stinging pain on his chest exploded at that moment.
Ying was now the one hurting. Because the man that she thought who won't love her loves her more deeply as she can.
But everything's too late. She had fallen in love with another.
