Two years ago. Graduation day.
"Stop fidgeting for fuck's sake, New!" Gun scratched his head out of frustration as he watched New walked back and forth the room. "You're making me dizzy."
"Do I look okay? Is my hair okay? Do I smell good??" New asked as he approached Gun and moved closer for Gun to smell his graduation gown.
Their graduation ceremony had just ended and Gun had no choice but to be with New as the latter bombarded his phone with text messages saying he needed to see Gun.
"Are you really sure about this? I mean, about confessing to Tay? What if, you know, "Â Gun didn't finish his statement but he was sure New was able to get what he really meant.
"I don't care anymore. I just don't wanna leave university without telling him my feelings. I don't wanna live with regrets."
Gun just shrugged. He felt his phone vibrate and saw that Off was calling him.
|Love, where are you?|
"I'm with New. He had something to tell me. Sorry I wasn't able to tell you."
|It's okay. Are you done talking? If you are, please come back here. We still haven't taken our photos.|
"Okay. I'll be right there."
"New I have to go back. Off's already looking for me."
New glared at Gun who was now straightening his graduation gown.
"Oh. To be in love. Hmph!"
"Will you stop being sulky? Come on. Let's get going or else someone's gonna confess to Tay before you do."
"Shtt. As if I'm gonna let that happen," New flicked his hair as he got up and followed Gun to the venue.
-----
New scanned the whole area looking for Tay. He had lost Gun in the sea of people and he could no longer see where he went. Considering Gun's height and size, he was sure it would be difficult to look for him. So instead, he searched for the guy he was planning to confess that day.
After minutes of relentless search, he finally spotted the guy. He was with his friends, laughing while taking photos. He also saw Off and Gun. He noticed how the two acted like they were just friends. He scoffed. He knew about Off and Gun's "secret" relationship.
Well, he wasn't supposed to know about it but he could easily tell if Gun was hiding something from him.
He straightened his graduation gown and wiped the beads of sweat on his face. His hands were shaking profusely, both from the hot weather and nervousness. He really wanna back out and just keep whatever he wanted to say to Tay while wallowing in sadness but a part of his mind told him to just go do it and accept the consequences.
"New!"
New stilled when he heard Gun call his name. The short guy was waving at him. He looked at Tay who was standing beside Gun and felt his knees wobble when he saw that Tay was also looking at him.
He slowly approached the group while muttering a silent prayer.
"Everybody this is New. Tay do you still remember him? He's the one you accidentally hit with a ball. New this is Arm, Alice, Krist and Singto. And of course you already met Off. New's a friend from the Business Ad department."
New smiled at the group. He was still thinking of a way to lure Tay away from the crowd for him to do his confession. He sneakily approached Gun.
"Help me," he whispered as he went behind Gun.
But the short guy was busy holding hands with Off in secret. He rolled his eyes and pouted his lips as he stopped himself from smacking Gun's head.
"Guys, I need to go to the restroom. Excuse me for a while."
New's ears clapped when he heard Tay excusing himself to go to the restroom. He rolled his eyes one last time at Off and Gun who were now giggling like kids as they talked about something before following Tay to the restroom. He wiped his hands on his graduation gown before getting the poem he wrote to Tay as a confession.
-----
New took deep breaths as he waited for Tay inside the restroom. He carefully held the blue envelope that contained his poem in his hands to make sure it wouldn't be crumpled.
"Oh, New," Tay got stunned for a second upon coming out of the cubicle.
"Tay. I-"
He followed Tay as the latter went to the sink to wash his hands. His face was now filled with bullets of sweat both from nervousness and the warm atmosphere.
"Tay, I uhm. I-"
"If you have nothing to say, pleâ."
"I LIKE YOU!" He exclaimed as he closed his eyes and handed the envelope to Tay.
New's voice reverberated inside the restroom, but it was not enough to drown the erratic beating of his heart as he waited for Tay to say a thing. Seconds turned to minutes as a long stretch of awkward silence filled the restroom air, slowly suffocating New as his hands were left hanging in the air.
"OHOOOOHH!! What an event to witness on the last day of school!"
New opened his eyes and immediately saw Nicky, an engineering student who was known for spreading gossips that often caused arguments among the school's faculties. He looked back at Tay who now had a smug look on his face. He looked at the envelope New was handing and then stared at New.
"Uhm. I'm sorry but I don't like you. And besides I'm not into men. Excuse me."
New was astounded at Tay's blunt answer. His hands, which were still holding the envelope that contained the poem, were left hanging in the air. He tightened his grasp on the envelope as he felt his hands getting wet from the tears that were slowly creeping down his face.
"It's okay. I admire your bravery though."
He felt Nicky's tap on his shoulders. He glared at him as he wiped his face with the sleeve of his gown.
"Did you wash you hands??"
"Hehe... Not yet!"
"Urrgh! You're so gross asshole!" New exclaimed as he slammed the envelope on Nicky's chest before storming out of the restroom.

Present
New squinted his eyes as the sunlight hit his face. His head was throbbing and he felt dizzy probably due to the amount of alcohol he drank last night. He tried to move but he felt something heavy on his left leg. That was when he realized that the room was unfamiliar. His light pink walls were now painted cobalt blue and his furniture were not the same anymore. There was also a massive pile of clothes on a chair by the window, and he was sure it was not his because he couldn't stand anything messy. He felt something move beside him, under the sheets specifically. With shaky hands and breath, he hesitantly uncovered whatever was under the sheets lying beside him on whosever bed it was.
"SHIT!" New muttered a curse as he saw a sleeping Tay Tawan naked under the sheets.
Did I just have a birthday sex with Tay Tawan?!
He sucked a large amount of breath as he felt his butt ached when he tried to move away from Tay who was still sleeping soundly. He didn't even mind the throbbing of his head for he was more concerned of the pain in his bottom.
He scanned the room and saw his clothes scattered on the floor. He was about to go down the bed to reach for his clothes when he felt something grasp his length. He had an internal panic as he felt Tay's hand on his length and almost lost consciousness when he felt him squeeze it.
"Hmmmm."
Tay was muttering in his sleep while New was struggling and squirming on the bed trying to neglect the sensation he was starting to feel as Tay held his length tighter.
"Why is this cat getting harder eh?"
New's face turned red as he looked at Tay who was smiling with his eyes closed still oblivious of what he was doing.
Who the fuck squeezes a cat in his sleep??! And why would he squeeze a cat???
He felt Tay stroke his length as if he was stroking a cat. He bit his lips as his length was starting to get hard, pulsating in Tay's hand. The callouses on Tay's hand added even more to the sensation he was feeling. He let out a soft moan and immediately covered his mouth with his hand while trying his best not to release on Tay's hand. Tay gripped his length tighter and that was when he could no longer hold it in. He let out a soft long moan as he released on Tay's hand.
Tay stirred in his sleep and finally let go of his length.
What the fuck! Was he strangling a cat in his sleep?!
New almost lost consciousness when he saw Tay ruffled his hair with the hand that he used earlier. It seemed like he was waking up.
"Hmmmm. Why is my hand sticky?"
Tay finally opened his eyes and inspected his hand before smelling it.
"What the-"
He immediately sat up but bent over as he felt a pang of pain in his head. It seemed like his head was hit by a thousand hammers.
"Are you okay?"
New asked as he looked at Tay.
"Who the hell? Wait-what are you-. SHIT! Don't tell me??!"
Tay was having a mental breakdown as he struggled to cover his naked body with the blanket. New just looked at him with a disinterested look on his face.
"You look like someone just got killed in front of you," New said nonchalantly.
"What did you do to me??"
"I think I'm the one who should be asking you that question considering the pain in my butt."
"Shit. Hey! I may be drunk but I would never bang a man! And who the hell are you? Why the hell are you in my unit?! Don't tell me you're one of those hookers who sell their bodies for money?! Well I have news for you. I won't give you a dime! Now get out of my room, out of my house!"
Tay's mouth was like a machine gun as he spouted the words faster than the speed of light. His face was now red as he glared at New.
New smiled inwardly as he looked at Tay who was having the greatest mental breakdown of his life. He was also having a mental breakdown. And why wouldn't he? He woke up with his college crush in the same bed while he was in his birthday suit. He was shocked as hell as well, but he chose not to show it. He winced when he felt his bottom hurt when he tried to move.
"Oh come on. Why aren't you getting off my bed? Wait I think I've seen you before??"
New rolled his eyes and pouted his lips. Well he didn't expect Tay to remember him.
"Right! You're the one who confessed to me on our graduation day!"
"OMG! You still remember me??"
"How can't I when I wasn't able to live a peaceful life for Nicky announced your confession to the whole batch."
"I-Im sorry."
New sighed. He didn't know his confession troubled him that much. Tay just glared at him while he played with the blanket to divert his attention from Tay's body. It was his first time seeing him naked and he didn't expect him to be this toned. His muscles were on the right places. He sneekily peeked at his abs and was able to count six, six deliciously looking pack. He licked his lips and swallowed his saliva as his throat was getting dry and he didn't know if it was because he just woke up or because of the meal being served in front of him.
"Why are you so red? And-and why are you getting hard? Don't tell meâ."
New's face got even redder as he followed Tay's finger which was now pointing to his erect member. Despite the pain in his bottom, he immediately got off the bed and grabbed his clothes as he hurriedly went out the room while putting on his clothes.
"Hey! Hey! It's my underwear you got idiot!"
But New wasn't able to hear Tay as he closed the door and scrambled his way out of Tay's unit.
