2 chapter 2

Leon wants to scream right about now. Like why are those two(Weiwei and his roommate Ducky) even her. Their room is in fact a better and larger type of room than his and Hopes's and he knows that for a fact. Currently he's watching the two bickering back and forth non stop."Bitch why are you even here" Weiwei screams plopping down on a peacefully napping Hope( how does he even sleeps through this Leon will never know). Ducky just huffs and crosses his arms going to the kitchen after stomping his foot. That bitch. But truth be told, they are all glad that he went to the kitchen considering the fact that Ducky is the best cook among-st them. His foods are a beautiful sensation. Weiwei that bastard getting to enjoy meals every goddamn day yet that brat's never grateful. Leon would choose him as his roommate anyday just so that he can pig to his heart's content. Though admittedly ducky is one eccentric guy and you'll never know what you'll wake up to and he just might convince you to model nude for him. That thought alone sends a shiver through Leon, memories of nude sketches of Weiwei entering his brain.Leon is curious though and asks the dreaded question."What's the name of the person who caught your interest Ducky?". Suddenly everyone's eyes are on him(ducky), patiently waiting for him with their breaths held."Mira" he replies. "THANK JESUS" screams Hope, waking up horrifying everyone in the room.All hell seems to break lose again, except now Hope joined the idiot roommates doing nothing but adding to the fuel.

Today is Saturday and Hope is for once fully free.No assignment, no homework, no shift at the convenience store and no lonely Leon to deal with. It's basically the perfect day. So of course he logically arranges a date....(he wishes) no, hangout with Lin.She said yes. SHE SAID YES.Though she is also bringing a friend over Hope muses to himself sadly. No no no, this shouldn't let him down. There is plenty of time and right now he has to focus on making her like him. It's his chance to shine. Hope squeals (damn they were right saying love make you sick)- because he's so so excited and the thought makes him giddy. Don't get him wrong as it might seem like not that big of a deal to anyone but it's his first time having a crush.It's gonna be the best day ever. Or not. Shit. He doesn't know what to wear. Suddenly Hope just wants to scream and cry because Leon isn't around today and that would mean asking Weiwei for help- hell no is he doing that. Not when they are love rivals now. And especially when they are in one of their fights. Nope. Hope is super mad. Weiwei better apologise for all those hurtful words cause this is a pain and he is offended. Definitely not because Hope misses him. Anyways he resorted to calling Ducky(which he should have done from the start considering that he is a fashion student and all), which he is starting to regret seeing as his room(which is small to begin with) is a mess. And Ducky insists on tagging along." You better not embarrass me" says Hope for like the hundredth time that day. "Oh my god, just shut up. I already told you I won't okay" screams an exasperated Ducky. " Anyways, here go try on this fit. It's fairly simple but still casually classy". Taking the fit, Hope goes to the bathroom to change becoming extremely impressed as the fit really does make him look the slight bit attractive. Going out of the bathroom Hope sees Ducky on his bed reading some of his precious comics."You ready to go buddy" asks Ducky seeing as his friend is ready. "Woah that really does make your slobby ass look good". Not gonna lie but Ducky's ego is kinda sky high. Walking to the door, he looks back confused seeing as Hope is standing still."Buddy you okay" he questions softly, his entire demeanor turning from playful to gentle seeing his friend so anxious. Hope released a sigh and looked to the floor, his eyes just the slight bit glossy and sharp teeth biting his lips."Aww come here buddy, tell me what's wrong if you would feel better doing that". Ducky pulled Hope into a hug wanting so badly to comfort his friend. He knows just how big of a deal this is to Hope. The boy has always been more private with his limited friends. He doesn't enjoy being with just anyone, only people he trusts like people he's known overtime and people who makes him feel comfortable(though not many people give of comforting vibes when you first meet them. That is quite rare. Hope just slowly melts under his embrace, the slightest bit relaxed and slowly starts talking. "I dunno what is wrong with me. Personally I know it's normal to be nervous but I feel more than just that. Sad and excited and solemn and just super duper happy, all mixing with the nervousness and that makes me wanna piss my pants. I hate it. Why can't I just be simple?. I just wanna enjoy something like this for once. Have always wanted to experience something like this. It is so normal for you guys, yet I've never felt a piece of it. I always thought that I was off in that sense, that something was wrong with me. What if I was just an emotional less bastard? Cause that's what they all used to say. From grade schools until now. But when I came to college I naturally started to feel different, especially after I met you guys. It was like a different world. That made me so happy. Finally getting to feel what I've only heard about from literally everyone around me. For once I wasn't left out. And then this happens, of course naturally that made me super happy- experiencing something so exciting it made my heart race. But you know since it's all quite new for me it's quite overwhelming". Ducky was quite throughout it all, just warmly embracing his little buddy. It was a bit shocking from him, Hope never having talked this openly about his feelings. His heart warmed up. So this was all, for a second there he was quite worried."That's actually really adorable. Never knew you had such a soft side" teased Ducky getting a smack in return.

"okay ready to go now Ho pie".

"Ugh, Don't call me that"

With that being said, a relieved looking Hope dragged out his friend. Sometimes all you need to do to feel better is to get a hug and talk about it.
