"Yes, I already arrived" Zachary replied. He lay down in his bed and looked at his phone. He waited for Keith to reply to him while waiting for him he couldn't help not to think. A few minutes passed Keith finally replied thata making him rush to read it in a flash.
"That's good," Keith simply replied Zachary pouted because Keith doing it again, replying like he didn't know how to send a message, only using a few words.
"What do you want for lunch tomorrow?" Zachary sent back he's still okay even though it looks like Keith looking cold when sending a message but he can bear it.
"For what?" Keith asks in Keith's house he's already smiling he doesn't know what he should send to Zachary and it takes a minute to send it even checking if he uses the right word.
"I'll plan when I fetch Kaizer, I will send you food," Zachary said, Kaizer looked at his dad he tilted his head while looking at him
"Dad you're smiling?" Kaizer asked making Keith come back to his senses before he faked coughing and tried to use a serious expression but he didn't answer Kaizer's questions.
"If you're the one who cooks everything is okay I'm not picky" Keith replied he wanted to eat some Zachary dish. Deep inside Zachary's mind, he was stunned that Keith appreciated his dishes.
"That's what you want? Hmm ok, I'll cook for you" Zachary doesn't have a hobby for cooking for someone even if he can he learned it while living alone because before he hated eating delivery food but later on he managed to eat some when his friend started live with him because all of them doesn't know how to cook also he was lazy to cook for them.
"That's right, I liked the food earlier that's why I want to taste the food you cooked for me again," Keith said. Well, Keith doesn't know how to cook he just buys food for them but he loves the taste of homemade food.
"Yes sir " Zachary happily replied. When Keith received the message he shook his head.
Zachary is overwhelmed because of Keith's request.
"Hahaha wait, I need to go. Someone is calling me" Keith replies when someone calls at the house telephone. Because of that Zachary became curious and suddenly interrupted their moment. 'Who was that?'
"Ok, I will go to take a nap too" Zachary replied. he didn't expect that Keith was replying to him, that's why he walked through his bathroom to take a shower.
When he finished he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
_______________
Steffan and Ivan are now in the garden sitting in the grass. Both of them are not talking and are busy with their cell phones
Ivan sighed before he put down his phone he couldn't take this anymore and he was the one who started the conversation.
"Are you ok?" Ivan asks in his eyes can see the worries. Steffan looks at him weirdly but this time he out his phone down.
"Why? Of course, I'm OK" Steffan said while looking at him They stared at each other it looked like they using it as a competition who would look away first would lose.
"I notice that you're being silent," Ivan said and looked in front. He's the one who surrenders he can't let Steffanseey what is showing his eyes because he knows that even if he acts like he's cool his eyes can his emotions.
"You're just imagining things," Steffan said sighing before also looking in front he was watching how the plant at the gate moving from the wind.
"I'm not When Brother Johnsen said that word you rarely argue with me most of the time you're quiet, Can you tell me what is bothering you?" Ivan keeps thinking about how Steffan treats him. Most of the time they fight each other even though it's unreasonable no one can stop them but in a few days, he feels that Steffan is ignoring him.
"Why just be happy that I'm not bullying or hurting you" Steffan said but still didn't look at him.
"I'm not ok with that, just tell me what your problem is!" Ivan raised his voice which made Steffan harshly look at him. His eyes look like a sharp dagger but Ivan is not afraid of that look All he wants is to know why Steffan is acting differently.
"Did you have amnesia? You know what I'm affected by, Don't act like you didn't know I'm so done with you!" Steffan shouts. He stands up and walks away. He didn't hear Ivan speak again. He walks fast through the inside of the Zachary house.
He harshly opens the door and it makes a loud sound that makes Mike and others on the sofa look at him.
He walks toward them and sits on the sofa beside him. "What happened to you?"
"Nothing," Steffan said and faced the ground they became silent and watched him while silently worrying about him, they chose not to ask questions again because they knew Steffan would answer the same he did earlier. If he doesn't want to tell them the story they won't force him.
"Mike, can I sleep in your room?" Steffan spoke, and Mike's eyes softened. He knew something was going on between Ivan and Steffan but he didn't complain, he understood Steffan's feelings.
"Hmm ok. If you're not feeling well just go there and take a nap, You look pale" Mike worriedly
said. Steffan looks at them before he walks through Mike's room. Mike is the only one who doesn't have a roommate Ivan and Steffan are sharing a room with Nike and Sean. They stayed there for free because Zachary wasn't obligated to give money for rent and it made them stay and be fateful to him.
"What do you think happened to them?" Sean asks Mike just sighs he also didn't know.
"I don't know, this is not the way they argue this time it's more like a serious one," Mike said. He grabbed the pillow beside him and hugged him, he felt that he become stressed by the two arguments.
"But they fight all the time. I think it's just nothing," Nike said and shrugged Mike has a fact but they don't know anything so they can't say if it's nothing or has a deep meaning.
"No, I feel there is something between them that we didn't know. They look mysterious even though we've known them for so many years we didn't know why they were always fighting like that and why Steffan always annoyed Ivan" Sean said. Nike and Mike look at him before it makes Mike nods to agree with him.
"Just let them be, If they don't want to talk about the fact that we need to respect their decision, the only thing we can do is support them," Mike said. 'beside this is the right thing to do
"That's right." Johnson only spoke because he enjoyed them.
"Where's Steffan?" Ivan asks when he enters the door because they all look at him.
"In my room," Mike said, Ivan nodded and started to step on his right foot.
"Don't, just let him think...." Mike held Ivan's arm to stop him. Even if they want to ask Ivan they keep silent and stop themselves to ask.
Ivan obeys him and sits on the sofa when he finally sits. He put his hand to his face and harshly brushed it.
Sean and Nike look at each other while Mike looks worried about him.
"You're not asking why we suddenly like this?" Ivan asked, he lifted his head and looked at them but the emotion on his face was the same when he entered the house. The emotion running into him looks confused and looks like a lack of sleep.
"We're not, well even if we're curious about what happening between you and him. That's your own decision if you both tell us," Johnsen said he didn't know anything except one thing but he knew that Steffan would get upset if he told them about it. He respects that Steffan wants to keep it private.
"What happened?" Zachary suddenly appears in front looking at them with confusion, Ivan just looks at him when Zachary sees Ivan's face he already gets it.
"Where's Steffan?" Zachary suddenly asked and looked at Mike.
"In my room" Zachary nods at them and walks through Mike's room, all of them looking at him.
Ivan stood up and walked out of the house.
"Love problem that's why I don't want to be in love," Mike said while shaking his head.
"You sure?" Johnsen suddenly said that made Mike, almost jump from where he was sitting
"What?" Mike said when he finally got back to his senses.
"Nothing you're cute you know that?" Johnsen said before he walked away. Nike and Sean start to cough because they want to tease Mike.
"Ahem!" Sean teases Mike, looks in their direction and glares at them.
"You idiot I'm not teasing you even if I'm always seeing you being sweet to each other!" Mike throws a pillow toward Sean but Nike catches it.
"Ha, brother what if we're being sweeThat's's not the same," Nike said grinning.
"Then what is it?" Mike looks annoyed.
"Because we're already on the courting stage," Sean grinned. Mike's mouth hangs open.
"What? How?!" Mike shouted. He can't believe it. It's because last time he just explained to the both of them about Zachary being attracted to a man and a few days Ivan just teased them that they tried to date each other now they nearly dating.
"Secret, don't think too much about our relationship, just focus on your love life," Sean said again. Mike doesn't want to argue with them when he complains both of them will not stop teasing him.
'Why do they think that I'm interested in Big Brother? Ha! I'm not like them'
