An hour later, I arrived at his house. I was just wearing shorts, slippers and a shirt. I knocked at his door and obviously he answered it. When he opened the door, I saw him wearing only his boxers shorts. Nanlakiangmatako! It was the first time that I saw him in his boxers. Damn, he looks good in boxers! His body is toned (He is a gym guy), makinis, malakiangpwet and not to mention, malakiangtumbok.
I just stared at him until…
J: Huy!
A: Uy Bab, ba’tyanlangsinuotmo?
J: Initkasi Bab. Halika, pasokka. Bab? Mamayanalangtayomagbasketball hah? Anginit pa kasi. Laromunatayo ng video games.
A: Sure, ikawbahala.
We played video games the whole morning. I kept glancing at him from time to time ‘cause he still in his boxers shorts. “Hot talaganya”, I thought. I hope I wasn’t too obvious. haha I also begin to appreciate how he smiled and how he laughs. He became too sweet also to me. Nakapanibagonga. One time, while playing, he lied down in my lap. Minsan, kapagnakascoreakosa game, kinukurotnyapisngiko at sinasabi “Galingtalaga ng Bab ko”. Hindi akonaka-concentrate salaronamin. In fact, siyaangpalagingnananalo.
J: Bab? Okay kalangba? Ba’tparangpinapanalomoako ah.
Afternoon came, walananginit. We came out and played basketball. While playing I noticed that he was too touchy (Not that I am complaining haha). Everytime I shoot a hoop, he hugs me or slaps my butt. Okay langnaman din sa akin yun. We had fun but then again, he won. I was only 3 points short in winning over him.
A: Bab, pasoknatayo. Pagodnaako.
J: Cgebab, ma-unakana. I’ll just shoot some hoops muna.
I went ahead inside. Their house is big. A two-story edifice but wide. His parents bought the house when he transferred here in Cebu. He is living together with his two older sisters. The eldest sister is a Medical Representative and always out of town. The second sister is still in college but gimikera. She is always out every weekend. Kaya, si Jonathan langangmaiwanminsansabahaynilakapag weekend. Jonathan is not they type of person who hangs out in bars or stays up late partying. He is the type of person who prefers to stay at home instead, plays some hoops or play video games. Ganyan din ako kaya click na click talaga kami. I went to take a shower first kasiangbahokona. Minutes later, kumatoksi Jonathan.
J: Bab, open the door please. Ihingihinaako.
A: Bab, malapitnaako. Hintaykanalang please.
J: Hindi na kaya bab. Please open mona.
I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened the door and went inside the shower curtain. While umihisiya,
J: Bab, sabaynatayomaligo
Before I could say anything, he stripped off his clothes and went inside the shower curtain. Lakinggulatkonangnakaharapkonasiya - naked.
J: Uy Bab, anglakipalani junior ah. haha
Nahiyaako and just smiled. I know he was just teasing kasimasmalakiyatayunsakanya. Hindi naakotumutokmasyado at dalidaliakonaligo. Unaakonatapos and went outside right away. We had dinner, played some video games and slept. I could not sleep that night. I could no longer understand how I felt about him. I am very comfortable with him and obviously he too is comfortable around me. I am happy when I am around him and I know he felt the same way. I know this love that I felt is more than just a brotherly love but I am confused. I never felt this way to a guy. We had this unspoken bond between us that we care and love each other but we never talked about it. What’s with him today? Why was he too caring? Since that day, we spend most of the weekends together. At times, sabahaynasyamatutulog o di kaya, akonamanmatutulogsakanila.
In school, palagi kami magkasama. We wait for each other if one of us is still in the classroom not yet done with the exam. I always wait for him while he has his basketball practice. We go home together and goes to school together. Sometimes, we just look each other in the eye, we already know what to do. One time, Jonathan didn’t go to school because he was sick. Throughout the day, walaakonggana. I was really worried so I called him during one of our breaktime.
A: Bab? Are you okay? Gusto kapuntahankitamamaya?
J: Okay langako Bab. I drank my medicine na. Don’t worry na.
A: Okay Bab. Get well soon.
I don’t know why but I felt empty without him. I did not finish our class and went to his house. I was greeted by his sister who thanked me for coming just right in time because she has to go and walangmagtetake-care ni Jonathan. So I volunteered myself.
Ate Jenny: UyThirdy, good thing you’re here. I need to go to class. I’m already late. Could you watch over Jonathan for me?
Ako: Sure thing Ate. Don’t worry.
Ate: Salamatnaman.
I ran upstairs, to his room and found Jonathan sleeping covered in a blanket and shivering. I sat beside him and touched his forehead. He is burning hot. I went to his bathroom and grabbed a clean face towel, and poured cold water in a basin. I started wiping his forehead, his face, down to his body. Inunakomunayungmukha. Gwapotalaganito. He has this perfect eyes, and nose, red lips and jawed face. Then, pinunaskona din yungkatawannya. Pinahubadkomunasya at pinunasannaangkanyangdibdib, utong, at tiyan. Pinunasankona din angkilikiliniya. Grabenakakalibogyungkilikilinyangmaramingbuhok at kahitwalangligo, angbangonito - amoylalaki. Habangpinunasankosiya, nagisingsiya at asked me if pwedebapunasankona din angkanyang baba. So, pinahubadkona din siya ng shorts. Pinunasankomunapaanya at pataas. Napansinkoangbukolsa brief niya, galitnagalitnangayun. Naturn-on yatasiyasapagpunaskosakanya. Ngayonkolangsiyanahawakan ng ganito. Kinurotkosyasakanyangtagiliran, “Ikawtalaga Bab”. He grabbed my hand and kissed it and said:
J: Thank you Bab hah sapag-alagasa akin. Mahalnamahalkita.
A: Walanganuman Bab, bastaikaw. Cge, matulogkana hah.
Alamkosasarilikonamahalkona din sya. Hindi akomapakalipagnagkasitsiya. Masaya akopagkasamakosiya at kumpletonaangarawkokapagnakitakolangsiya. Hours later, I decided to cook food for him.
