[BL] THE 1,000th CRANE CHAPTER 4

*Ringing alarm*

I turned off the alarm.

"Arghhh~ what time is it already?"

It's Saturday, 8:00 am.

If it wasn't for that jerk, I would still be sleeping until now.....

-----FLASHBACK------

"Me too, I'm confused too....." I gave him a gentle smile.

Who knows that smiling because you want to, feels this good? Ever since my mom left me, I somehow forgotten how happiness felt like.....

But why am I happy?

"Gabriel, treat me lunch, I'll you a story."

"H-huh? Are you sick all of a sudden? You called me by my name!" He placed his hands on my forehead. "Your temperature seems normal tho."

I stood up.

" Do you want me to answer your question or not?"

//Cafeteria//

"Here's your food." He said.

He may not realize it, but things are getting dangerous for me. His gaze, his words, his voice, his touch, everything about him acts like a gas. Now all he need is light a match to set me on fire.

But I'm not ready yet.....

"Ever since I was a kid, my mom used to show me how to make origami....."

He looked at me, and I seemed caught his attention.

"It is the special bond that both me and my mom shared. I remember, she first thought me how to make a crane. I can still remember how her face looked like when I showed her my first origami. Even though it's a mess, she's still proud of me."

The good times.....

"Until mom died because of cancer...."

I looked at Gabriel and his face looks worried.

"I'm sorry if you have to mention that. You can stop now if you want to."

"No, I'm fine..."

And besides......

"And besides, I can never recall someone ask something about me, so I don't know if I should be happy or embarrassed haha~"

"Really? And to be honest, I feel like I'm going to explode...."

"Explode?" I said.

He covered his eyes with his hand.

"This is the f-first time we had a proper conversation, that's why I feel like I'm going to explode because of happiness...."

H-huh ??
