As we danced under the violet lighting in the middle of a crowded place... it didn't actually felt like we're surrounded by people. Because all I can see right in front my eyes was him. A tall, flashy, handsome guy who laughs at every stupid jokes that I'd say, and smiles at the smallest things that we'd spent.

I'm sure no one asked, but I'm an impatient and greedy person. I will do anything to be who I want, have what I want, but he's a completely different matter. Sade was a person that I can't reach no matter how much I grab it with my hands, and I'm afraid that I might lose him if he knew what kind of person I am.

Just like that apple who rotted a long time ago, I'm the same.

"To be honest, I didn't know how to dance." Sade admitted.

I raised a brow as I chuckle a bit. "I figured."

"Don't laugh at me." He said, chuckling. "But... y'know what? You're actually... so cool."

"You think so?" I guess he's drunk.

"Yeah." This pitcher guy smiled once again as he glanced at me, and I was startled when he rashly jumped off his chair to give me an embrace. "Woah. You're huggable."

"Seriously... You're drunk."

"You have a huge body... like a giant teddy bear." He continued on mumbling while hugging me tightly. Yet it surprised me when he lifted his face up, making us have eye contact. I swear, I was singing the national anthem over and over as his head went closer to my face. He then smiled again, showing off his beautiful canines, as he lean and bit my ear. "I'm about to puke." He whispered.

"WHAT THE FUCK?"

I was caught off guard. I didn't say a thing afterwards, as I immediately lent him a hand and helped him head towards the washroom. Moreover, god knows how much red I am the entire night. I can't help it but to feel ecstatic. If only he wasn't drunk, I would've expected that there's still a chance. Though, I'm not that naive to have my hopes up.

Later that night, I decided to sent him home using my car, since he's too drunk to go home alone. He also told me his full address, and I was welcomed with a small apartment. "Is this your place?" I asked.

He nodded twice and hugged me by the neck. "Want to go inside?"

"I... no... I think I'm good." I replied, pushing him gently. His pouting face and look of disbelief were cute, though.

"Ok..." When he left the car, he looked really disappointed.

Somehow, I had the urge to follow him... "Wait..." And my desire to get closer to him arose. "On second thought, having a cup of coffee in the middle of the night isn't that bad." My obsessions drove me into liking him. I also didn't intend to make things uncomfortable between us. I won't do or say stuffs that I'll regret, so... even at the very least... I want to get closer to him.

I'll make sure that the only one who'll get hurt was me, and me alone.

Not only that, but I won't do things he doesn't want me to do, nor forcefully push myself to him despite not wanting to be with me anymore. And just like any other sane person, I'll do my best to become a man worthy of his attention, even as friends. That's why, in return, don't hate me.

"I only have decaf... is that okay?"

I smiled from ear to ear as I nod, following him from behind.

"Sorry about the place... I'm not really that well off, so a small, lousy apartment is all I can afford." He mutters, opening the door.

"No worries." When I looked inside, it was quite neat. "I think your house is pretty nice. I'm almost envious." The room was filled with nothingness, aside from his lovable and addictive scent.

It was attractive.

"Here's your coffee, Kiel." Sade then placed the coffee on top of the table and waited for me to take a sip.

The coffee was bitter. Although, it tastes good. "Does it have sugar?"

"No." He replied. "I put erythritol."

Oh... So that explains the bittersweet aftertaste.

"I... wanted to thank you... for bringing me home." I heard him chuckle softly. It was indeed a rare sight. "My head's a bit dizzy now. I think I'll go to sleep."

"Yeah... Yeah... I think I'll head home, too. You should take a rest." The time that we've spent together escalated swiftly. And If you would ask me, I don't want to be apart from him. I don't want it to end.

"I had fun tonight."

I wouldn't like to leave so soon. I want to stay. "Likewise." Even though that's not really possible.

To be continued...
