To Make A Hopeless Romantic Hope
I Accept Your Excuse
Fireworks coloured the inky sky at the night of a cheerful festival
Mathias looked out the window while standing in the school’s hallway
Alvin
I’m sorry, can you help me here a bit…?
Mathias grabs the other half of the burden that was faltering in Alvin’s hands
Alvin
*sigh* I’m sorry for bothering you like this
Alvin
You wanted to keep watching the fireworks right?
Mathias
Asking me for help was a good decision
Mathias
It could have fell all together
Mathias
*put down the books on the library desk*
Alvin
*put down his books as well*
Mathias
Hahaha you’re pretty strong
Mathias
Did you carry all that up to the third floor?
Mathias
*smile while blushing a bit*
Mathias
Alvin, see, I was actually going to find you here
Alvin
Oh? Do you need something?
Mathias
Yes…and I know this is sudden
Mathias adam’s apple bulbed. For him, this was absolutely nerve-wracking
Mathias
You see, I’ve been meaning… meaning to say that… I…
Mathias
I like you… a lot. This might sound crazy coming from me but I really think that I’ve fallen-
Mathias
*eyelashes flutters and slowly opens his eyes*
With tired eyes, he stared at the ceiling for a while, having a moment to take in everything
Mathias
(What time is it?)
Mathias
*sweated a lot that some strands of his hair stick in his forehead*
Mathias
*tries to search his phone with his hands*
Mathias
*turn his head from the couch*
He found his phone was on the black glass desk
Mathias opened his phone and saw five missed calls of Rowen
He opened his messages and saw his texts
Mathias already texted to Rowen beforehand that he was having a fever
Rowen
“I’m coming over when I’m finished with our groupings”
Rowen
“Don’t do anything stupid.”
Mathias
*furrow his brows* (Really?)
Mathias
*sighs in disappointment*
Mathias
(Guess I have to wait longer being alone in this place)
Rowen comes up in front of Mathias door
He rang the doorbell and continued to enter the passcode to get in
He said, seeing Mathias sweated a lot. Which brings down the fever.
Rowen comes to the kitchen to fetch him some water in case he wakes up
Rowen
*pour a glass of water and place it to the living room desk*
Mathias
… *sleeping soundlessly*
Rowen
(How come he’s easily sick)
Rowen
(The weather’s not special today anyway)
Mathias
*open his eyes slowly and sees Rowen*
Mathias
*face his back against Rowen*
Rowen
Get up from there and drink some water first
Rowen
Hey *comes closer to him*
Mathias tried to go back to sleep cuz he was going to the good part in his dream
Rowen
You’re dehydrated from all that sweat
Rowen
I’ll get you a towel
Rowen
*dab the sweat from his forehead*
Mathias
*looks up to him (Rowen was standing near him)*
Rowen
…Oh my god, am I raising someone or what
Rowen
*brush Mathias hair back to keep it from sticking on his forehead*
Rowen
*continues to wipe off the sweat from him*
Mathias
…I called you a couple times, I think you ignored me
Mathias
You wouldn’t ignore if I called 10 times
Rowen
Was it so much of a problem
Mathias
Yes… I can’t move here you know?
Mathias
I feel lightheaded…
Rowen
*touch his own head* Ah fine, I’m sorry
Rowen
My phone was on silent
Rowen
We really needed to focus
Mathias
Fine, I accept your excuse
Rowen
…I bought you medicine
Rowen
Go ahead and drink it *pick up a supply and takes out a pill*
Rowen
*nonchalantly put it in his mouth and let him drink the water from his hands*
Rowen
*carefully let Mathias gulp everything down*
Mathias
*wipe the excess water around his lips*
Rowen
You should be on your bed
Rowen
I thought you couldn’t move
Mathias
It was like I was melting on the floor
Rowen
*scoff* Whatever, you baby
