We met in junior high. We became friends and study partners. We were really close.

Until that day...

...I had to leave because I'm in so much pain but I never hated him for what he did to me.

We met again in college...

...We kissed.

We encountered a lot of problems... But we always solved every one of them.

Even though we weren't perfect.. It was ok...

Because we loved each other...

So tell me...

"Smile for the newly weds!"

What did I do wrong?

This story is about Asteria's life beginning at the age of 15, leading up to her happy ending. It tells of how she fell inlove but instead was taken advantage of and abused by the guys she loved at a young age when all she ever wanted was to be happy.

☄️ 3rd Person POV ☄️

That guy...

🌌

When spring comes, flowers bloom, but...

Flowers wither that's why I like him more

🌌

When it rains, the floating rainbow is beautiful, but...

It will eventually disappear. That's why I like him more

🌌

When it's night, the floating stars twinkle, but...

They will hide... That's why I like him more.

🌌

He's always been next to me, so I like him

~ ☄️ ~

"Wah~~~" the teacher started clapping in excitement when the young little girl finished reading her poem. "Asteria wrote a really nice poem! Don't you think so?"

*clap*

*clap*

*clap*

"While listening to it, I got curious about something." the older woman asked, "Who is that 'him'?"

The little girl covered the half of her face while blushing.

"...!" the question took her by surprise, "it's a secret." she answered while her eyes twinkling and looking at the guy in front of her who's busy writing in his journal.

Mi Tesoro 🌸

Do you have

an umbrella?

8:50 pm

I'm in front of the

apartment

8:56 pm

HEY!

ANSWER

9:18 pm

Will he read it? Hah...

The girl asked while feeling the cold wind hit her skin and shivered.

*whooosh*

Star...

... Rainbow

And him.

No. That jerk.

30 minutes have passed already...

My God, it's raining so why don't you come here?

That's it. Can't he come and see me a bit?

I guess I'll just trust him again.

Just why did I do it again in the first place...

She just stared at the star on the sky and the rainbow colored puddle.

I'd leave you in the rain.

She was lost in thought when she heared the sound of the car stopping off in the distance.

Maybe that taxi?

*clank*

The girl saw a hand, holding a pink with flower patterned umbrella when the car's door open.

*click*

Her eyes widened in disappointment when the foldable umbrella opened.

What's with that, I had an umbrella already.

She thought, hurt by what she saw.

Couldn't he tell me after reading my text?

*splash*

She started walking behind the guy she was waiting for, her childhood friend...

With his wide back in front of her path, never turning to look at her, not even once.

Ahh... That's how he is...

Knowing already that you're coming to meet me... The fact that you borrowed that flower umbrella, you're truly annoying me on purpose.

He is a good-for-nothing guy.

Arrghh... I really hate it, more than that pink umbrella that doesn't suit him at all...

... I hate being ignored.

And I hate it even more...

... The fact that I keep hanging around with him.

I stared at the soaked umbrella on the stand by the entrance.

*clunk*

I won't do this ever again.

"Hey Ae~ you're back now? I just came back. Anyway, I suppose he had an umbrella with him." the large woman with glasses said.

"...I don't know we missed each other" Asteria answered her mom.

"Where were you waiting?" her mom continued asking.

"... At the bus stop." she answered shortly.

"Oh! You should have waited in front of the apartment. He took a taxi to get home."

"I'll get home first, Ma*."

*Ma- short for Mama. It's the same just like Mom for Mommy.

"Why? Let's go together once the rain stops." she answered her mom.

"Come on!" the young girl said impatiently.

"Now that I think about it, what school did you decide to attend?" her childhood friend's mom asked. "My son has decided to attend South Hellviore High."

"Yes," she answered absent-mindedly. "... Excuse me?" she answered again embarrassed.

"Come on~ that's obvious. They've always been together, so it'll be the same now as well!" her mom said shrugging and laughing.

"I hope so~" the beautiful woman said, who had the same face as her childhood friend.

"Oh... I..." the girl stammered.

"Listen, from next year I'll take care of Asteria's and Adrian's private institute expenses." the beautiful woman slipped her palm on top of her mom's hand. "You know, I've always been thankful to your family."

"Oh my, really?" her mom answered.

"Of course~ Asteria also has always treated my son as an older brother." the woman smiled.

The poor girl just stood there with a pale face.

"...ehm, I..."

~ ☄️ ~

"Well. They're going to take in the selective school form until today" their teacher said "here's how far it goes..."

Choice 1:                                               

Choice 2: Salt Lake University.         

Choice 3: Sleepy Hollow University.

It's a strange thing.

If I'm involved with you, again and again like that...

... I can't even understand myself.

*Gulp*

Why?

Choice 1: South Hellviore Academy.

Why can't I run away from you...

10 years, to my childhood friend who was my whole universe.

Prologue End.

See How Much I Love You

☄️ Asteria ☄️

It's January.

Which means a new year and the second semester has officially started. I moved back in my old house just in time for it. Though I'm lonely in this house, it's nice.

I came back...

Because there's this guy that I like, actually he's my first love. I can't remember his name for some reason but I get this feeling that I actually fell inlove with someone. I can only remember the fragments of our memories together and an old diary that my parents left before they died in a car accident, the last time that I was with him was when the both of us made a promise that we'll be together until we get old. I don't know why we got separated in the first place, why did we have to move away? I tried flipping through the pages until I got to the blank pages.

No. Nothing.

I only saw the written description of what happened before and during the promise, the ending of the entry for that day will be left untold. I left my classroom to the clubroom while reading the description of the guy's appearance.

"He's a gentleman, matured is the right word for it and he has a bright smile..." I said out loud while reading, I continued flipping through the pages until I bumped into someone.

I was really flustered, I panicked as I tried picking up my old diary and other things.

Flashback: During high school

"Hey! We met again!"

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Make sure to open your eyes."

"It's... My eyes are open."

"Such a liar."

"Then try evading this kick!"

"It hurts please! Please stop!"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

End of Flashback

Why am I remembering all of those terrible things right now? "Sorry, are you okay?" I stuttered in response, "I-it's nothing. I'm the one who's at fault."

Please... I don't want to embarrass myself anymore. I just want to live a normal life. "I-I'm pretty sure my eyes are open. I didn't do this on purpose." I mumbled while panicking.

Bad memories came back. Rather than recalling, there's no way that I could forget those moments for even a second. "You're not the one at fault, Ae-ae." a familiar voice said, I slowly looked up and I felt as if my whole world stopped. "It's been awhile, Aster. We're in the same school before."

Cyrus.

My whole body started trembling nonstop. I scrambled to get away from him as far away as possible "WAAH!!" I know he'll think I'm weird by making those reactions but...

Cyrus.

I continued running I didn't even realized that I forgot to grab my things. My mind was blank, the only thing that I knew is that I have to get far away from that place as-soon-as-possible.

IT'S CYRUS.

I haven't met him since highschool. I let my guard down. I thought as my hand clenched in order to cover my mouth, I'm completely shocked. I wanted to throw up.

Flashback: During high school

"What's with those eyes? Disgusting!"

Flashbacks from when the moment our relationship ended came flooding back.

"Don't ever look at me with those eyes!"

End of Flashback

~ ☄️ ~

"Eh? You won't join any clubs Cyrus?" the blonde girl asked. "I joined an English club. The seniors there are friendly."

"I could also give you some of the past exam question collection." the girl with short hair said. But Cyrus remained silent, he's only staring at me. Those same eyes that stared down at me as I sunk down on my demise.

"Asteria?"

Ugh! They said my name.

"....." I flinched when he called my name. "What's wrong with you? Ignoring us! Such a bad attitude." the blonde girl who's right beside me said while glaring at me. "Isn't she just asleep?" the girl with a short hair said.

I pretended to stretch and yawn, as if I had just woken up from a nap. "See?" the short-haired girl added.

Cyrus is still the same. Even during our junior high days* he didn't changed. He is smart and cool. He's popular towards girls and guys really trust him. To think that he is also kind enough to me.

*junior high (Philippines) or lower secondary school (Japan) and high school (America)

*they're 15 years old (Aster) and 18 (Cyrus) during this time period by the way.

At first.

That dark memory of ours returned again.

There are people who are already making fun of me just to confirm whether my eyes are open or not.

But since I still have a few friends, I was able to cope up.

Not until Cyrus also started to bully me. The whole class also followed along, bullying me.

Until I finished my middle school, I decided to change schools at my grandfather's place at Daet Camarines Norte, Bicol.

It can't be helped if we're in the same class but why are we sitting near each other?

Is he going to bully me?

I held my churning stomach, nervous about what will happen.

I don't want to see him. Ever.

~☄️~

I skipped class.

I fiddled with my phone as I stared into the screen of the camera, I focused it into the door until I suddenly heard it click, indicating that someone's entering the room.

The door opened and I saw Cyrus, who's about to enter the room. "Ae-ae."

I sprang up from my seat in surprise.

It's Cyrus!

I quickly grabbed my bag and ran towards the opened door. I was about to leave the room but he suddenly blocked my way with his right arm and pulled me towards him, I lost my balance and that's why we both fell onto the floor.

CRASH

My face crashed right onto his sturdy abs area. "SO-SO-SORRY! I'M SO SORRY!" I stuttered.

It's all over.

My eyes started welling up.

I'll be bullied again.

"Ae. The task."

"Eh?"

"The task for today came out. Here." he said with a calm face. "Also, your things."

He gave me the handouts and my the things that I dropped when I bumped into him earlier. "Ah thanks..."

Did he only came just to give these to me?

He didn't say another word, he just stared at me which made me feel really awkward honestly.

Isn't he going home yet?

"This... This saved me." I started, "We don't have any new member." Ahhh. Stop. Just stop. Don't say another word. "Also, I'm the only first hear here."

"This is a photography club right?" he said "Nowadays, it's becoming popular isn't it?"

"This is just a photography-research club. It's not as stylish compared to other clubs."

"Ae, do you like taking photos?" I looked down on my phone, rather flustered by what he just said "it isn't in a level of serious vigor." Is this bullying? "Just taking pictures using my phone."

Since I'm afraid of being watched by someone.

It feels like I'm allowed to see something through a camera lens without anyone restraining me.

That's why I took a lot of pictures.

Just like before, it's not like anyone can see it. And eventually, taking pictures became a habit.

"Can I join?" he said as he looked around the room "Your club, I mean."

"EH? WHY?"

"It looks fun" he answered back, smiling.

If I could look at myself in the mirror I know that my face became pale, my whole body drained of life.

Right now, I have no idea what Cyrus' planning.

"Ae." I was surprised when I found out that he was right beside me. "What kind of pictures do you usually take?"

I moved away from him while hiding my phone from him in order to prevent him from seeing the pictures that I took. "It's... It's nothing interesting." I said weakly.

"I don't mind." he said in a genuine yet straight face "Since I want to know more about you."

I blushed at what he said I don't want to let him see it but I just obliged. "Ah. That's the sea near our school."

"Y-yeah." I answered weakly. "It still looks pretty after all these years."

I just awkwardly fiddled with the hem of my skirt as he just stared at the picture. "It's really hard to get since it's always crowded with people."

"THAT'S RIGHT!!!" I suddenly shouted it made me panic, that's why I shrunk back flustered yet again by my own stupidity.

"I see." he ignored the embarrassing thing that I just did and moved closer as he looked on the phone of my screen. "So this is what you like."

I blushed.

It's like nothing happened in the past.

Maybe Cyrus already changed.

~☄️~

I...

I got it!

I bought the limited edition strawberry cake.

To Cyrus...

I'm going to share this with Cyrus.

Excitedly, I ran as fast as I can to our classroom and saw him talking with a group of popular people. I remained silent as I watched them from the door.

"Wh... Such a flashy--"

"Hey Cyrus." one of them said, "Why did you joined that club?" I felt as if my whole world stopped, I can only hear the loud beating of my heart.

....

"With just Asteria."

"It's really boring don't you think?"

"She is gloomy."

"Well, her face is funny though."

"But with you two, you really don't match each other."

.....

....

...

..

.

Ah, as expected. He's either planning to bully me or he's pitying me.

"It's fun." he slumped his backpack on his shoulder "That's why I want to be with her."

My eyes opened wide at this, surprised at what he said.

"HAHAHA! Serves you right! You are obviously aiming at Cyrus!"

"And then backstabbing someone."

"Wha-what's with you?" the girl replied embarrassed.

My heart started beating loudly as I leaned my back against the cold wall.

Badump badump badump

"Then, I'll be going."

!!!

I left in panic, running down the hallways while blushing furiously I covered my mouth with the back of my hand as I tried my best to hide my smile.

Did Cyrus really changed?

Will he no longer be cruel to me?

I entered our clubroom and closed it. I collapsed on the floor and hid my face in between my legs trying to catch my breath and sorting out my thoughts.

If that's the case, then I...

I'll...

~☄️~

"Ah." I heard Cyrus say as he saw me eating the cake that I purchased earlier. "You bought it."

"Ye--yeah." I answered awkwardly, the spoon still on my mouth. "Good for you, Ae." he said with a kind close-eyed smile.

I blushed and lowered my gaze to the cake. "Do... You want to have some?" still avoiding his eyes.

"Eh?" he looked quite surprised. "Is it okay?"

"Yes" I said flustered. He took a small piece of the cake using the same spoon that I used (AAAHHH) "Ah!~" he said turning towards me.

Could it be that this is a new way of harassment for him?

He flashed me a smile then moved closer to me. "Here." I blushed.

"Cyrus, you really changed." I absent-mindedly said to him. "Is that so?" the spoon moved closer towards my mouth as I opened my mouth slowly to accept the cake. I was focused on the cake that I didn't notice the small smile that crept on the corners of his mouth.

Yummy!

I blushed and teared a little bit after the taste of the cake invaded my mouth.

It's really delicious.

I was taken aback when he wiped the corner of my mouth to remove the crumbs and icing with his thumb and licked it. "You are right."

Maybe, Cyrus no longer remembers...

... The time when he bullied me before.

~☄️~

"Shall we?" he said after a while when we finished the cake. We started walking out towards the school gates.

In the first place, there's no sense of bullying from him.

It's understandable that there are some people who don't like eating those type of food.

If someone is in a bad mood, it's inevitable for someone to be cruel.

Also, during that time we were still kids...

In the first place, Cyrus didn't plot the bullying.

It just so happened, that due to Cyrus' big influence that the others also followed through.

There are some who will not let me off.

But there are times for the latter.

Which I was grateful.

We stopped in front of the big fountain in town as he turned to say, "See you tomorrow."

Which means, there's still a chance for the two of us to become friends again. I stared at his broad back as he slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Ah! The notes he lent me! We have class tomorrow.

I tried my very best to squeeze through in between the people.

What should I do? He's already too far.

Should I give it back to him before class?

If it's Cyrus surely he won't min--

"CY--" I took a deep breath then shouted at the top of my lungs "CYRUS!" I shouted while waving his notebook above my head.

He turned around and I tried to squeeze myself through the tight crowd as I tried to reach him. "Ex-- excuse me let me through."

I felt like I was being squashed and I couldn't breathe. "Wa-- waah!" I felt someone grab my hand and pulled me towards them, I landed right into their chest as he caught me in his arms.

I gasped for air as I held his arms tightly. "Haa. Haa."

"Tha-- Thanks Cyrus" I said still gasping for air as I placed my hands on my legs for support. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

I placed the notes right in front of him. "The notes? You can give it back tomorrow."

I raised my head to look at him while smiling "I also thought of that but... It's already with me" I said still trying to catch my breath while sweating profusely. He just looked at me, dumbfounded.

I started walking away from him but I never broke eye contact with him. "Sorry for calling you out infront of the crowd." I said rather embarrassed but he just looked at me absent-mindedly "Bye."

"...Like you." he said as he grabbed my arm. "I like you, Asteria." I stared at him in shock which made me blink twice. "Go out with me."

.

.

.

.

!!!

I didn't know how to react, it's like I became deaf for a moment and the whole world's moving in slow motion and when I came to I realised that a lot of people is already staring at us. I grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

" Wa-- wait! Let's change places" we arrived at the small park, not far from the fountain. I let go of his arm but I couldn't gather the courage to look at him straight in the eyes I felt my face getting hotter every second that I spent with him.

"Do you have someone you like?" he asked me but I still couldn't look at him. "O--of course there's no one!"

I tried calming myself down by taking small deep breaths and reciting all of the chemical elements on the Periodic Table of Elements.

"Then it's fine, right?" he asked which took me by surprise yet again. "OF COURSE NOT!" I shouted while feeling embarrassed.

Going out...

Going out... Do you mean...

"Are..." he started, "Are you disgusted with me?" I spun around and looked at him straight in the eyes "THAT'S-- THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!"

I blushed. The silence overtaking the both of us. "I also thought that's what you're going to say."

He gently held my hand "Ae." he said in his soft voice. "I like you."

...!

"I want to go out with you."

I was shocked when he suddenly hugged me while his head rested on my shoulder. "Ae" he whispered in my ear. "Asteria."

I didn't know what to do at that time but it was getting hard to breathe my heartbeat getting quicker every second that passes by as he held me tightly in his arms.

I don't...

His arms around me...

I don't know how to shake them off.

"I'll--" I took a deep breath and placed my palm onto his chest and looked at the stony ground as I yelled in embarrassment "Fine! I'll go out with you!"

"I'll go out with you! So let go already."

He hugged me tighter than before.

"Thank goodness."

Haa haa

I breathe heavily.

Ahh... I can't take it. My heart feels like it's going to explode.

"Cy-- Cyrus, I... I need to go home." but he whispered in reply, "I don't want to let go."

He lets go of the hug then looked at me flustered. He leaned closer and placed his head on my shoulder again. "Your eyes. Close them."

"Why?" I asked shyly. "You can't?" he asked slightly disappointed.

I trembled. I wanted to cry but I couldn't understand the feelings deep within me. "Are they close?" he asked as I heard his voice right on front of me. "Ye--yes..." I answered nervously.

...!

I was completely taken aback when he placed his soft lips on mine. He kept on kissing me but I held my breath, I didn't even opened my mouth. Even when I felt that his lips were no longer on mine I still held my breath while puffing out my cheeks.

"Ae" he called me. "It's already over." he said in a shy voice.

!

"So-sorry! It's my first kiss, that's why..." I explained while panicking. "I don't know what to do."

Without knowing, I felt the hot liquid drip from my eyes as I held placed my fingers on top of my lips. I blinked a couple of times since I oblivious of what was wrong with me.

He just looked at me, surprised.

"I'm sorry, after you gave me an okay I acted on my own." he said sadly. "No, yo--you're wrong." I said still feeling panicky.

That's when it hit me that it was tears of joy that was dripping from my eyes.

"I'm just surprised." I said as I looked at him happily "I don't hate it at all."

"The next time that we'll kiss will be in front of the altar."

I thought we could become friends.

I couldn't ask for more but...

It seems like a dream.

Because since then I...

I've been inlove with him.

☄️ Asteria ☄️

Flashback: During high school

"Asteria"

I heard someone call me as I was erasing the writings on the blackboard.

"are you on day duty by yourself again?"

I turned around and looked at Cyrus' worried expression on his face.

"Irene's supposed to do it too, right?" he said as he walked closer to me from where I'm standing, "Should I go remind her?"

"I-it's fine." I stuttered. "She's busy with her club," I gripped the dirty rag in between my sweaty hands. "so people who aren't busy should do it."

"And surprisingly," I shyly smiled at him "it helps me review what we've learned."

He just stared at me, surprised.

He grabbed the blackboard's eraser and started helping me wipe.

"Cy-- Cyrus." I was surprised by what he did.

"You're right." he said while flashing me a small smile.

~ ☄️ ~

Cyrus was someone who was kind to everyone.

After that we started studying together.

He's usually with the charismatic people, but it's amazing that he's nice to people like me...

I thought as I tried to sneak a glance at him while pretending to read a book. He's right in front of me as we shared my small desk.

"Ae, your eyes." I flinched. Is he going to say some nasty comments about my eyes too?

"... Makes you look like you're smiling all of the time." he said, never taking his eyes off the book that he's reading but I can hear the genuineness in his voice as he smiled.

"It's nice."

It took me by surprise and seconds later, I felt my face heat up and I couldn't stop myself from hiding my face behind the book that I was holding.

Thinking that it was weird because we're both from different worlds. He was popular and I was always bullied by my classmates.

I acted like I wasn't looking so he wouldn't notice.

As I secretly watched Cyrus.

End of Flashback

But it was no good.

I think he started bullying me because I started liking him despite being weird because of my eyes.

Even though I tried to keep him from noticing.

I couldn't hide it.

That's why he felt disgusted.

Because I believed that he had no choice.

I never despised Cyrus.

~ ☄️ ~

"Ae."

!

He touched my cheeks and softly tilted my head to look into his face.

Cyrus can feel around my eyes.

That's what it means to close them.

I closed my eyes as he started kissing me again. It was only a short kiss but I gasped for air. I shyly covered my mouth.

I've gotten pretty used to kissing.

I like it a lot...

I think.

"Don't slack off!" we both heard the club president shout right outside the door.

~ ☄️ ~

"Ae."

Cyrus said so I turned to look at him.

"The activity report is due next monday, right?" he said "Have you decided on what you'll submit?"

"No, not yet..." I answered him shyly.

"Then there's this place I want to go to..."

~ ☄️ ~

"Wow, what a nice view!" I excitedly said.

"To think that you knew such a place in the west coast of Zamboanga..."

*snap* *snap*

"Aep." he said. "Let's take one together."

"Wha--" this took me by surprise.

"A-are you sure you're fine" I started panicking "with me being in the picture too?"

~ ☄️ ~

*snap*

I never thought about taking a picture with Cyrus with me in it...

I feel really happy that my heart won't stop beating as I stared at the newly taken photo of us.

*snap*

"I got a nice shot." he said as he smiled at his phone.

"Eh? Let me see!" I said excitedly.

He showed me the picture on his phone and I saw myself smiling as I looked at my phone.

"But that's me!" I shouted feeling panicky as I looked up at him.

"It's because you're cute, Ae." he said as he looked at my photo on his phone.

I blushed at what he said.

"Your facial expressions change a lot, so I never get bored." he genuinely smiled. "I can just stard at you and wonder what you're thinking about."

"Cy--Cyrus, you're crazy..." I said covering my face with both of my hands. "My eyes are like this, you know..."

"I like them."

"It's like you're always smiling."

He said giving me the same look from junior high.

That smile...

That same smile...

As I thought, I really do like him.

No matter how many times we meet, I'll probably fall in love with him every time.

"But I'm glad we came." he said which made me stop from reminiscing the past.

"You smiled for me after all." he said looking at the sea below us.

But it's different from before.

Cyrus also likes me.

I'm so happy...

I feel my whole face heat up and my heart beats rapidly. I sneaked a glance at him and I saw him blushing slightly which made me turn my face away.

!

He cupped my face with both of his hands which made me jumped slightly in surprise.

He squeezed my cheeks softly and slowly brought his face close to mine and opened his mouth.

!!

He inserted his tongue in my mouth and started kissing me deeply.

"Cy--Cyr--Cyrus!" I said surprised as I pushed him but he didn't budge he just broke the kiss. "Your tongue..."

"Can I not?" he asked innocently. I just stared at him as I feel my face heat up.

This isn't fair...

He continued kissing me with his eyes wide open, he satred at me which made me even more shy so I chose to close my eyes he continued the kiss from earlier.

*Shlick*

"...mn--"

"u--"

*Shlick*

"..."

This sound is so...

"Nn"

My knees began to tremble uncontrollably he finally broke the kiss as I gasped for air and my knees gave off. I staggered and sat.

"Cy--Cyrus, you're too lewd..." I said as I looked up at him while I tightly covered my mouth since I'm a blushing mess right now.

"I'm not a kid anymore after all." he said as he handed out a hand to me.

I stretched out my right hand as my left hand remained on my mouth. I stared deep into his raven eyes.

Then...

Then that means...

~ ☄️ ~

*thump*

*thump*

*thump*

*thump*

I sat on the shotgun of his car as he silently drived I covered my face with my bag.

"Ae, you live in Mercedes*, right?"

*A barangay in Zamboanga City, Philippines

"Y-yeah?" I said embarrassed as I looked at him. "My house is there!"

"W-what about you?"

"I live in Johnston Subdivision*."

*A subdivision in Baliwasan, Zamboanga City

Huh?

"Then shouldn't you go to college by bike? Or just by walking you can arrive at the campus by 3 to 4 minutes." I absent-mindedly said "Why do you always ride the car?"

I saw the corners of his mouth curve into a small smile. "Ahh, you found out." he stopped the car right beside the highway. I saw him cover his face as he bent forward.

After a couple of seconds he placed his hands on his mouth and said while blushing, "It's because I want..." he paused and took a deep breath.

"...To go to school with you."

I blushed at that and looked away.

"I--I see."

"Would you like me to bring you to school everyday?"

"W-wha--what! You don't have to!"

He pouted sadly, "Please? It will be much more convenient for you."

"But what about you?"

"It's fine, I just want to see your face every morning." he said smiling "so?"

"U-uhm that will be nice."

"Do you want to come over to my house?"

"Can I?"

~ ☄️ ~

We passed by SM City Mindpro* to buy groceries for our dinner.

*A shopping mall in Zamboanga City

"Let's stop by the drug store." he said while we were paying for the foodstuffs that we bought.

"Yeah." I happily nodded.

As we entered the pharmacy, he headed towards the condoms and picked up a couple of condoms.

I don't know what to react, I just looked at him absently.

As he was paying for the condoms my mind suddenly figured out what was going to happen later. I blushed at the thought.

As we were walking towards the parking lot I walked behind him as I shyly looked downwards the whole time.

"Cy--rus." he turned around.

"Are you coming?" he showed me the same smile as when we were still young.

I feel my face heat up slightly he waited for me to catch up to him.

I feel the loud pounding in my heart.

*thump*

*thump

*thump*

*thump*

I was scared that he'll be able to hear the loud beating of my heart.

Every little step I take feels like I'm walking on the edge of a high building, that if I missed a step I'll fall anytime without anyone catching me.

He stared at me so I just looked down the whole time until I reached his car.

~ ☄️ ~

We were happily chatting about our past, I think my face was red the whole time since I can't stop thinking about the things that he bought at the pharmacy.

"Our teacher's lessons..." I said reminiscing the past.

"He's strict about attendance." he answered happily.

*thump*

*thump*

*thump*

*thump*

I felt my heart jump when he touched my hand as his face moved closer to mine.

*thud*

He pushed me onto the bed.

"Cy--Cyrus..." I nervously said. "This is my first time..."

My eyes started tearing up because of embarrassment. "I don't know much, so..."

"Yeah, I'll do my best." he whispered to me huskily. "Leave it to me."

He leaned forward to give me a deep kiss.

Will it be alright?

Am I acting weird?

He started removing my shirt bjt as he did so, ugly thoughts began flooding my mind even more

I look like a monster but...

What should I do if the Cyrus who likes me right now saw my ugly body and is repulsed then just acted calmly?

*thud*

I pushed him away which took him by surprise. I didn't notice that I started tearing up as I stared into his eyes.

I'm scared.

"S-sorry. It's just embarrassing..." I said as I looked down on my lap.

He looked at me with a worried look on his face.

He got out of bed.

As expected but I'm not going to blame him.

I knew right from the start that I'm annoying.

"Then wear this, Ae." He said, I looked up to see hwta was in his hand.

He showed me his blue tie. "A necktie...?" I looked at him confused.

"Cover your eyes with this." he answered.

I couldn't read the expression on his face. "Being unable to see will keep your mind off of it." He said coldly?

"T--then if you turn off the lights..." I started but he still tied it without waiting for me to agree.

"I want to see you." he said.

He tightened the small piece of clothing in order to cover my vision.

"...D--Don't I look weird...?" I asked him nervously.

"You look fine." he answered me.

~ ☄️ Warning : Smut ☄️ ~

He pushed me to lay down on the bed I felt him towering over me as I lie down on my side. He removed my bra and started licking my nipples.

"HYA~" I said as I felt his cold tongue glide against my chest.

He made sure to pay proper attention to both of my chest.

"Ah"

"Ah"

Because I can't see Cyrus' reactions, I'm not scared.

But it feels like I'm more sensitive.

I felt his manhood touch my female area which made me twitch.

Ah--

This

Is Cyrus'...

I'm glad, Cyrus.

You're hard.

He didn't penetrated me yet but he just thrusted his manhood into me which hits my clitoris everytime that made my toes curl up and my hands clenched the bed's sheets.

"Huff"

*gasp*

"Huff"

I breathe heavily.

It's hot.

It's hot.

My mind repeated over and over again.

Every place that Cyrus touches...

The only things I know of are the sensations he gives me.

I know only the places he touches really do exist.

"W--wait, Cyrus." I placed my hands onto his chest.

"What?" he asked while breathing heavily.

"We can't do..." I mumbled the last part.

"What? I didn't quite hear the last part." he gently said.

"I--I said, we can't do p--penetrative sex be--before getting married."

He didn't say anything else but I could feel him staring at me.

Is he mad at me?

"Cy--Cyrus?" I called out to him.

"I--I'm sorry." I started tearing up.

"No, don't be." he said kissing my forehead. "I can wait."

I wanted to cry at that moment, not because of sadness but because of happiness.

"But..." he continued, I can hear the embarrassment in his voice. "Can you help me with my hard--uhm... Hard on?"

I flushed at this.

"U--uh--uhm what should I do?" I askee him embarrassed.

~ ☄️ ~

*Squish*

*Shlick*

*Shlick*

*Squish*

He told me to squeeze my thighs together.

He also removed the condom from earlier and he started thrusting rapidly in between my thighs.

Even though he didn't penetrated me I can't stop moaning because it kept on hitting my sensitive places.

"Cyrus--"

"Cyrus."

I kept on calling out to him and my body couldn't stop twitching.

"That feels weird."

"It feels weird."

"Ah--..." I squeezed my thighs even more.

"Ah~..."

"I'm glad..." he groaned. "You're feeling it."

I can only think about Cyrus.

*Shlick*

"I love you."

He said as I feel his dripping precum on the lower half of my body.

I started crying.

"Cy--" I opened up my arms, welcoming him into my arms. "Cyrus..."

I felt that he was taken aback for what I just did but he squeezed me into a tight hug.

"Huff..."

I felt my feminine area clenched up and that's when he continued to ****** between my thighs, still hugging me.

"Ah"

"Ah..."

Even though he bullied me. I could never hate Cyrus.

I was just

I was just sad.

I never thought that it would come true.

I felt the sweat drip from my forehead as I continued to moan his name over and over again.

Being hated only after falling in love with him

Was just so heart-breaking.

He paused.

And thrusted suddenly which hits my clitoris suddenly.

"Gasp"

"Huff"

He continued thrusting continuously which made me choke for air.

"Gasp"

*Pant*

"Are you okay?"

He asked while out of breath.

"Ae."

I don't understand what's going on anymore though.

"I--I'm fine." I said panting.

I can feel him staring at me again.

"I'm sorry." He leaned in to kiss me. "I'm sorry, Asteria."

"I'll try to make you feel good at least." he whispered huskily.

I wonder why he's apologizing.

I'm really happy, you know.

He thrusted into me again as I hugged him tightly. I cried uncontrollably because of happiness again.

Even though I couldn't keep liking him.

Cyrus is touching me.

"Ah--!"

I get to have him touch me.

He finally came into me as I felt his hot *** reach my chest.

"Huff"

"Huff"

Both of us tried to catch our breaths.

We're embracing each other like this.

"Huff"

I was scared for no reason.

If I had seen Cyrus' face right now.

I thought while touching his face with my hand as I feel him smile lovingly through my skin.

I'm sure I would have been really happy.

~ ☄️ ~

We did it again after several days but he told me to use the blindfold again.

I'm sitting on his lap this time as we made out.

Kissing is amazing.

"Ah--"

I felt his hand wander down my back.

"Ah--"

His touches felt so hot.

I got accustomed to Cyrus' body temperature.

Without it.

I think I'll feel lonely.

I feel him rubbing his semi hard-on in my lower half.

"Huff"

"Huff"

"Ae, you're getting wet. What's wrong?" he said as he licked my chest again.

"Do you want me to touch you?"

"...--"

I just nodded in response.

I wanted him to touch me.

I just wanted him to touch me.

"Then you don't need me to rub your womanhood?" he said as he spread my feminine area open which made me shake.

"Ah"

I threw my head back in ecstasy.

"Mn"

"Cyrus, you're so mean..."

He kissed me.

"Hey, tell me."

I couldn't figure out what he looks like right now.

"Touch..."

"Touch me..."

I feel him smile through my skin.

*thud*

He laid me down into the bed softly and he grabbed both of my legs and squeezed it together once again just like the first time we did it.

I felt the necktie come undone.

Ah, the necktie...

For the first time, I saw his needy expression which caught me by surprise but he quickly covered me eyes again using his hand, preventing me to see his face.

He fixed the blindfold then he kissed me as he squeezed my legs together as he kissed me deeply.

He thrusted into me hard which made me moan loudly.

"Ah--"

"Ah--"

"Ah--"

"Ah..."

~ ☄️ End of Smut ☄️ ~

I just finished taking a shower as I stared into the screen of my phone while blushing.

We made out multiple times after that.

*Fshhhhhhhh*

Right now Cyrus is taking a shower in his bathroom.

But Cyrus still thinks I get embarrassed even now.

So I wear a blindfold every time.

Even though I'm fine now...

I thought as I fiddled my phone with my fingers.

In fact, I've come to really like making out with him.

I want to try a lot of things without wearing a blindfold.

I blushed at that thought.

Wow, I'm so dirty.

Cyrus will be put off by me.

I said while hiding my face behind my hands.

"What are you looking at, Ae?" he asked as he walked out of the bathroom and drying his hair.

"Cy--Cyrus." I said stuttering.

He sat beside me on the floor by the bed.

"Ah, I wanted a new smartphone case." I said while looking up at him. "I was thinking about which one to get..."

"Ah, me too." he answered. "Then let's go look at them next week."

He said then kissed my neck which made me blush.

*thump*

*thump*

"Y-yeah."

I hope he doesn't hear the loud beating of my heart.

"What brand is your smartphone?" he asked which I replied instantly.

*ding*

He got a message.

I leaned in to see who's the sender. I don't know why I did that but my body just acted on itself alone.

I don't know how to feel or react by the time I saw the sender of the message.
