Chapter 2:

After somewhat half an hour, they've finished their dinner. All the four of them were satisfied by the delicacy of their dinner. They enjoyed together just like their old times back in their school days. 

"Uhm Rudolf, I invited you to stay with us in our mansion! I'm sure we will be having a great time together!" Almiro suggested. 

"Sounds good to me, but me and my son don't want to burden you too," He responded, Hans agreed to what he said. Just like his father, he merited the ultimate being shy of his personality. 

"Oh! Stop it, stop being a snail, Rudolf! Come on! Come out from your shell! Stay with us as you stayed here for a little while!" He begged him, his lips turned into a pleading pout. For Rudolf, it was magnetizing. He's fighting the urge to show any hints of his triggered emotions. 

A hem lose from his mouth. "Fine," He answered forcefully in defiance. It was understandable for him that Almiro obviously will not stop on bugging him until he agreed to stay with them on their mansion, so he have no choice but to fulfill his wishes since it also happen once in a blue moon. Miggy breathed freely in relief. 

"Uhm? Uncle? Can I borrow your son for a while? I'm going to meet him more," He smiled asking for a permission to Hans' father. 

"Where are you going to bring him?" He raised one of his eyebrows to him, intimidating every single cells on his body. 

"Uhm… I'm gonna teach him to fetch some hot babes!" He winked at Rudolf which diverted his slightly contorted face of suspicion into a metamorphosis of beguilement. 

"That sounds good for my son!" He laughed hysterically, at least both of them can breathe in relief now secretly. "Besides, he never had some pretty babes! Not even one," He added which embarrassed Hans. He gently slapped his father's arms just to make him stop on embarrassing his own son. 

On the contrary, it gives hints to Miggy. He just finds out that Hans is single and had never been in a relationship before. Hence, unknown to them, he has his little secret he hid under the sheepskins. 

"He's way too scared of feminines!" He added and the three of them laughed together and Hans' face was made to moue. 

"Dad!" He growled at him. His father is now finally convinced to stop embarrassing him. He can now finally rest in peace thankfully. 

"So? Can we go then by now, Uncle?" He asked again breaking into the new topic. 

Rudolf is hesitating to let go of his only beloved treasure. He glanced at his son and noticed the mark of his adolescence. He glanced back at Miggy with a genuine smile, he nodded as he approved them to go together alone somewhere else. 

"Just make sure you'll take care of my son! He's the only treasure, I have," Hans blushed for his proud father. Both in negative and positive way of introducing his son to everyone is such an embarrassment to him. 

Miggy chuckles slightly. "Such a cutie Daddy's boy," He mocks Hans, which gave him a sardonic smile of mockery. 

After their little longer conversation. Miggy and Hans both parted their ways from their fathers. Almiro and Rudolf were heading to the Rior's mansion while Miggy and Hans were heading to Miggy's condo. 

Yep, he made an alibi just to make Rudolf let him be with his son. They climbed in together at Miggy's BMW car. The guy picked up his keys from his pockets and he shoved the key on the keyhole engine then start driving. 

As they ventured their way to his condo, the silence reigns between them. The lad wonders with his beguiled mind while leaning on the windshield of the door of the car. Silently evoking his immersing self to different things just to not let himself talk or look at Miggy. 

"I'm deaf now, you know?" He said jokingly breaking the silence between them as he steered the wheel of his car. 

Hans didn't bother to respond which made Miggy a little bit upset deep inside. It was the first time he's being ignored by someone like him. 

"Ahm… Can I know more about you, Win?" He takes a  few glimpses at him.

Win fixed himself and rested his back on the backrest of to where he was sitting now. "I'm a writer, I love books, films or movies, and Dad was right, I'm single and I WAS NOT A DADDY'S BOY. I'm not just into a demographic of being in a relationship," He explained emphasizing something. However, it was the contrast of what he has been through the past months and years. 

Miggy gulped air for he knew what does it mean. He guessed to himself that he might have offended Hans for what he said to his father before. 

"I'm sorry about earlier ago, I just got intimidated by your father," 

"Neither did I get intimidated by him…" A moment of silence shuts their mouth. "Trust me, he's way more scarier when he's mad," He added with a not-so-surprised tone of his voice. His arms were crossed on his chest. 

"I see," Then their conversation has finally come to an end. 

Crickets' noise embarked the parking lot to whereabout Miggy's car was parked. The place were covered with large electrical fences and on the opposing side where all the crickets been hiding, the bushes and trees and even flowers. 

The silence between them is still wrapping them like shanghais. The night is getting deeper, it was dark out there having no lamppost nor street lights to shower the parking lot with gleaming light. But the moon's light is enough to brighten up the dark area a little bit dimmer. 

Hans just followed Miggy inside the building, he checked in to the receptionist in the lobby. The lady smiled at them mischievously. "Sir Miggy? Who is he? He's so cute," She asked with a glimpse of fawning over the lad behind him eying around the fascinating place. 

"Uhm, he's Hans, my boyfriend," He responded then his lips turned into a normal smile. He pulls Hans closer to him and wraps his hand around his nape. Which also makes Win widen his eyes in shock. 

"Uwu!" The girl squeaks excitedly being happy to know what Miggy has answered her. 

After they have checked in. Miggy led the way while his arm is still clutching Hans. "Tsk! Let go of me!" When they are far from the receptionist he separated himself from him. 

"What's wrong?" 

"Why did you say that Miggy!? Tsk! I'm not your boyfriend!" 

Miggy chuckles. "I was just messing around. Beside, they won't stop hitting on you if I didn't do that." Hans rolled his eyes at him. For him, it was a silly reason. 

The silence reigns between them until they've reached Miggy's unit. They both went in with awkwardness. No one even dared to speak at least a word.

Once they got in, they both removed their shoes on the lower pledge of the floor and put it on the sand box to disinfect them neatly. 

With their socks on, Miggy went to his room to change, while Hans sat down on the couch as his eyes were exploring the elegant place. 

He's trying to describe everything in his eyes with the help of his eyes. His lips were making some slight movements, formation of silent words from his beguiled thoughts. 

"Uhm… Are you the only one here?" He broke the deafening silence.

Hans can't deny the fact that he is being interested to Miggy's personal lifestyles such as love life, career and whatsoever like everyone has usually does.

Truly, Miggy is indeed handsome with a hint of hotness. The moment their eyes met several times during their dinner is something he's not sure about. It's a familiar scheme of destiny that maybe one day might trick him to his leading doom. Specially to his healing glass heart. 

"Uhm…" Miggy didn't respond immediately. He's doubting if he could tell Hans that he has already a girlfriend which he's trying to break up with her though. 

Hans' eyes landed on the other couch with some under garments for feminine were lying. Undies. He guessed that Miggy must have already a girlfriend. "I see," Which ached his chest a little bit. 

'He's so gorgeous and it actually hurts' He shakes the thoughts away. He doesn't need to think of something that is not even important for him. 

Miggy exiled his room and noticed Jewel's under garment there. He quickly picked up those and threw them out of the window. Hans glanced at him with fissured brows. "What was that for?" 

"Well uhm. Those weren't mine, Hans," He smiled awkwardly and sat on the other couch in front of Hans. 

"Ok?" His voice sounds like was about to burst in laughter. 

"Look, I was just plotting a prank to my Dad, I thought he's going here and I'm just trying to figure out how will he react for knowing that I brought some girls here even when I'm not," His eyes can't look straigthly to his eyes. 

"I get it," He then stood up from the couch and wandered the small area with a couple of shelves but filled with a lot of books or CDs. 

His eyes get caught by the CD of one of the most popular movies. Shakespeare In Love. He furrowed in wonder, by the title of the film it looks familiar to him. "D-do you want to watch that?" Miggy asked as he stood up from the couch too. He walks closer to the lad and checks what he's looking for. 

"No," He shakes his head sideways while his eyes were stuck on the things he's holding. Trying to unravel the familiarity of the title in his mind. "I think I've seen this film before, but I didn't like the ending,"  

"Oh…" Instead of looking at the things on his hands, he stared at his captivating face. He looked away when Hans raised his head to look for something else that might draw his attention. 

It's 9:53 pm, the sky is getting darker, the night is getting deeper yet the city to where they are, is still busy. It took him almost seven minutes before he could finally have picked something to watch. 

Miggy played the Call Me By Your Name Netflix for Hans. He told him it was one of his favorite movie to watch yet the only thing he doesn't like about it is the protagonists were both male. 

"Your favorite but you hate it?" 

"Yeah," 

"That's ridiculous, Miggy. You can't love and hate at the same time,"

"Yes I can, if you knew barbie," Hans furrows again after Miggy has said that. 

"So… you like barbie dolls?"

"No! Arghhh! Not that Win!" The lad chuckles seeing Miggy's reaction. 

However, their attention draw to the 32 inches flat screen when the movie started and the two of them became silent. Of course, watching movies or film is one of their hobbies, especially to Hans to disintegrate his mind with fascinating ideas for writing. 

So Miggy found out that they both have at least one common interest. And he wonder why he can't even stop himself from glimpsing to the lad beside him, whose all focus is on the movie. Watching and studying the sequences carefully. 

***

The moon arose in the middle of the night sky. The stars beguiled the dark sky, shining through the speed of light. It's 12:26 am already yet Hans is not yet sleeping. 

He's sitting on the couch to where he remains after they've watched the movie. In fact, before the movie ended,  Miggy went to his room for he felt sleepy and exhausted. While his guest is a tough one who can endure his drowsiness. 

Aside from staying up all night in a couch, the silence became his refugee as he brainstormed some lots of ideas he picked from the movie he had already watched. His pen and notepad were sitting on his lap, waiting to be touched by him as he think a plot for his novel. 

"When The Wolf Calls The Bunny," He said to himself while his finger is touching his chin and massaging it slightly. 

In the midst of his brainstorming, something has popped into his mind. The handsome face of the guy he just met for that day, he seems so tantalized by how beauty he was. His lips, his eyes, his nose, everything in him is just perfectly sculpted. He have never seen someone like him before. 

'I wonder if he really does have a girlfriend' He bites his lower lip while thinking about him all the time. 

Because of his excitement watching the movie they've watched a while ago, he tended to forget to ask a few questions about him, just to know him better. But hopefully, for him, it would be an embarrassment to ask such private things. He might don't want to mess with Miggy's personal life. 

"Aha!" He picked up his G-tech pen and write something on his notepad. The names of his characters in his novel that he's planning to write. He also wrote the description of them and how they should act according to his preferences. Then he started writing the first chapters of his story. 

As the time passed by, he didn't realize it was too late to stay up in the night at exactly 2:15am, a half way till the morning shines. He yawned for he felt sleepy, he hid his notepad and pen on his bag then he laid himself on the couch and closed his eyes to sleep. 

He chose to take a nap in the couch rather than to sleep in the room to where Miggy has told him to sleep. It didn't take him so long before he just let himself immersed in his dream, a silent snore lose from his mouth. 

Out of nowhere, the cold wind brushed through Miggy's face activating his nerves at the unexpected time. His eyes opened slowly and realized it's still dark outside, only the city lights were the ones who gave the light to the quiet streets. 

He sits on his bed and brushes his hands on his eyes, he yawns for he has woken up unknowingly. He stands up from his bed and walks closer to the door, he goes outside and quite got surprised for seeing his visitor sleeping on his couch. 

His eyes were trapped in a pitiful sinkhole that he least expected while wandering innocently. The face of the sleeping lad captivates his eyes, even his mind and heart. His throat made a sudden downward movement when he swallowed his saliva. Witnessing Hans' celestial beauty is just new to him. It gives birth to a new bizarre feeling he have never felt before. Not even to his girlfriend. 

Miggy slowly approached the sleeping lad, trying to maintain the quietude around. The moment he reached him, his curiosity became deeper, wanting him more, he waned to explore Hans. He doesn't even know why he transformed into a different person as if he was completely replaced by another spirit. 

Even if it was against to his mind, Miggy touched Hans soft hand, he missed it. He just touched it once to which that was a time when their fathers introduced them to each other. 'So soft…' His gentle whisper hushed quietly, provoking something inside him. 

Then his hands crawled to his arms until they reached his shoulders. Manly yet gorgeous. 'Why do I feel this? Why can't I stop this?' His mind voiced him, trying to wake him from his succumbed dream.

He cups his face with his right hand, his soft cheeks magnetized his hand, making him not to remove it. Just like a hamster, so squishy and smooth and silky.  His eyes landed straightly onto his red plump lips. "Can I kiss you?" He whisper gently without waking him up. His thumb finger nudges Hans' lips. So soft and the textures might be kissable. 

"I wonder what your lips taste like?" He whispers to himself...
