To Make A Hopeless Romantic Hope
Starting Off
Hi~ I was making an ABO prompt for fun, but then miraculously an ABO event just opened up
So I took the chance to write this idea of mine
I sincerely hope for the best
Mathias
*gazing towards something*
Alvin
*was giggling from afar talking to someone*
Here is the MC Mathias Lowell, an introverted beta male college student who is loyal to his crush since highschool
Mathias
(He’s really pretty…)
Mathias
(I’m glad we managed to get in the same college)
Mathias
(Maybe this is fate…)
Mathias
…. *eyes strays down, his smile turning into a sad one*
Of course, he knew it was just his wishful thinking
Rowen
Don’t just stand there, people will think you’re an idiot
Rowen
Do you want to play as a boulder? Get out of the way
Mathias
Stop dragging me around
Mathias
I can walk by myself
Mathias
*break away from his hold*
Rowen
*sigh*…I know it’s crazy you have your guy in the same school as you in college
Rowen
But keep yourself together
Mathias
Shut up *blushes subtly in the corner of his cheeks*
Rowen
Yeah, no, don’t even think of making that face rn *judgmental look*
Someone slips their hand on Rowen’s waist
Caise
You’re putting off your pheromones…
Rowen
*looks away from Mathias* Tch
Caise flashes a playful smile he always has
Caise
But don’t do that again *subtly frowns*
Rowen
(*sigh* He’s getting jealous again)
Rowen
*turns to Mathias who was being treated as a third wheel*
Mathias
*thoughts goes astray* (If I was an Alpha, would it be possible to be with Alvin?)
Caise
…I’m getting skeptical day by day
Caise
I really don’t think Mathias is just a beta
Rowen
We had this conversation rollin’ too much
Rowen
Give me a break, Caise
Caise
Does he gotta stay in the way to get your attention?
Rowen
*hit his head lightly*
Caise
*winces from the pain*
Rowen
Don’t be such a baby and mature
Rowen
It’s nothing to be jealous about
Rowen
He’s practically a brother to me
Magi
Oh Rowen! So you go here too? ^ ^
Magi
*wave her hand at him*
Rowen
*wave to her back with a grin*
Manny
I thought you were going to some college elsewhere
Rowen
*glance at Caise while talking to someone* I guess you never know
Rowen
(Jesus Christ, what am I gonna do with him)
Rowen
Anyway, do you remember this guy?
Manny
Oh yeah… wasn’t he that…(bully) handsome guy who always aced in basketball?😅
Manny
*brightens up* Nice to meet you too
Rowen
Caise, this is your class right?
Rowen
I gotta get to the other building
Manny
Honestly, I wouldn’t expect you to be a humanitarian major…
Manny
*gives him way through the door*
Manny
My name is Manny btw
Caise
I hope we get along well
Manny
*blushes at his tone*
Manny
(That’s the fallen hunk right there)
Manny
(If only he didn’t become volatile near the end of the school year)
Manny
(I wonder what his reasons were)
Thirsty
Mathias
(…Should I eat later? )*put down his pen*
Mathias
(Or should I finish this)
Mathias
*look over his watch*
Professor: It’s time, goodbye class
Everyone stands up to leave
Mathias
*decides to go to the cafeteria anyway*
He hoped to steal glance on Alvin
There was a time in highschool where Alvin was talking to his friends chuckling and accidentally met his eyes
That moment seemed as if Alvin was smiling at him
Mathias
*moving to buy something while taking some peripheral glances around*
Mathias
(…Kind of think of it)
Mathias
(I should find Rony to return his textbook)
Mathias
… *Starts deciding over what to buy while waiting in line*
Magi
I um dropped something near you…by the corner, can you move?
Magi
*quickly gets and hides thier suppresants*
Mathias
*watches her run away* (Hm… she looked like she was struggling)
Mathias
*gets back in line*
Mathias
… *somehow been feeling uncomfortable*
Mathias couldn’t find Alvin anywhere
Rowen
Who?…Oh. You want Caise to be here?
Mathias
No way… he makes me feel like I’m tryng to steal you away or something. I just thought you’d be with him right now
Mathias
How did you two end up being together?
Rowen
*nonchalant grin* …Things just happen
Mathias
It was the last thing I expected
Mathias
Didn’t you two butt heads?
Mathias
All of a sudden, you guys happened
Rowen
You should manifest that
Mathias
*chuckle* It’s not that easy
Mathias
*leans against the wall with him*
Mathias
How’d that guy even pursue you?
Rowen
We just happened you know?
Rowen
It couldn’t be helped
Mathias
Right, like hell you’re supposed to be like that
Rowen
Envious people have a way to say it
Mathias
I’m returning your textbook
Rowen
You finished it already?
Mathias
Yeah, I started the other day
Rowen
Now you’re just a nerd
Rowen
…Think you can share that?
Mathias
Oh *look at his soda drink*
Rowen
It’s just a little sip, why are you being selfish? *reaching for it*
Mathias
… *getting it away*
Mathias
…Envious people have a way to say it *smirking*
Mathias
…Will you stop doing that?
Rowen
Then stop falling for it
Rowen
*nearly spit out his drink*
Alvin
*holding off some paper*
Alvin
Would you guys like to join the committee?
Mathias and Rowen looks at each other
Rowen
*nudge Mathias* I know just the person
Mathias
*blushing, afraid he might stutter and look lame so he nods to continue*
Alvin
I want you to take this and fill the requirements for this
Alvin
Please return it to me if ever you see me. Don’t be shy to reach out to me ^ ^
In a blink of an eye, Alvin has already moved away from the two bestfriends
While Mathias is still stuck in a trance with a piece of paper in his hand
Rowen
Dude… he was totally flirting just now
Rowen
*sips on his drink the last time and returns it to him*
Rowen
Hahaha congrats *fist bumps his shoulder*
Mathias
*now has a quarter full of soda can in his other hand*
Mathias looked at both of the items in his hands
Feeling his throat dry, he took a huge gulp on his soda and licked his lip to savor it. Somehow the soda seemed to have gotten sweeter than before
As a result, his thirst got worse and he felt parched more than ever
Mathias
*while looking at the piece of paper*
Mathias
(Who the hell sent him??)
Mathias
*doesn’t know whether to freak out or celebrate*
In a place behind a building, with a garden guarded by a wall, where Mathias has his back fully supported on, fidgeted in the position a bit
Mathias cursed quietly in a hoarse tone, covering his face
Fate huh...
Mathias
*studying but his mind occupied*
Mathias
… *pen freezes after a loop of letter e*
Mathias
(What’s up with me lately…)
Mathias
(Why did I start to feel some kind of tension that time?)
Mathias
(…How is it possible to feel tension right after Alvin left)
Mathias
(It feels different. I don’t think it’s cuz I was simply being physically affected cuz of Alvin)
Mathias
*blush a little* (Okay maybe a little)
Mathias
(But it really feels something entirely different. Like the tension is really there)
Mathias
*putting the logic behind it all he can for half an hour*
Mathias has been thinking a long time, if he didn’t take a glance on the clock he would have this going on longer
But he has to go to school tomorrow
Because now, he has a reason to find Alvin, a reason to talk to him, and a reason to interact with him
Not just some delusional stuff he’s good at cooking up in his head that he doesn’t end up doing the way he does it in his imagination
Mathias
… *small smile as he covers himself with a blanket*
Mathias
(I want it to be the next day as soon as possible)
Forcing himself to drift into a deep sleep
Somehow he succeeded however something seems to have been bothering his sleep
Mathias
* eyebrows furrowing*
But he still doesn’t wake up
Mathias developed a fever
Mathias
*can barely stand up, let alone walk so he slumps on his couch*
Mathias
(Of all the days I get sick)
Mathias
(It has to be this day)
Mathias
(…I don’t like how fate is treating me right now) *glares at the innocent TV*
Mathias
(I got a chance. They take it away from me…)
Mathias
(If it does exist, I wonder what it’s planning)
Mathias
*lay his head backward from the couch, gazing up the ceiling*
Mathias
(Hah… It’s really hard becoming courageous to somethig unknown)
Mathias
(I wonder how some people do it)
Mathias
(How they get what they want, even though things happen differently)
Mathias
(Or does nothing change for me because I’m not making hard choices)
Mathias
(But then again, don’t people get the courage to make hard choices because they have someone who’s got their back)
Mathias
*feeling increasingly warm, thus more exhausted and drained*
Mathias
…God I wish I have someone right now
Mathias phone was beside him, showcasing a whopping 21 missed calls
He’s been calling Rowen ever since he figured out he has a fever
He wasn’t sure if he was just too busy or he’s having trouble with something as well
But he needed him right now
Rowen is the only person he’s close to. His parents travel a lot for work
He didn’t want to go with them, so here he is livinng in a complex apartment since he was still a highschool student
At least the apartment he got was a huge deal, but being alone in it makes him feel even more lonely
