twenty nine

Gulf is very uncomfortable having New as their roommate. He knew very well that any minute, there could spark a World War III, now that the three of them are back to being in the same room, just like how it is in Gulf's previous dorm. He can't get his eyes off Mew who is very stiff at the moment as he glares at their third roommate, New. Mew is sitting on the bed and it is  clear that his fists are clenched together, causing his veins to pop as if they are about to explode. It was quite a view for Gulf as he finds it sexy when his lover's veins are showing like crazy. But it is not the perfect time to fantasize. He shook his thoughts off and there he returned to being worried of the tragedythat might happen.

On the other hand, New seems not to care about the glaring looks that Mew throws at him since he stepped a foot in the room. You can say that he seems to enjoy the situation. He gets to share the same room as Gulf and at the same time, annoy Mew. Nothing can equal the happiness it brings when he sees Mew lost it whenever he drops the bomb. 

"Just wait till  Gulf comes near me, okay? Then, you can take as many picture as you can. The nearer Gulf is, the better, okay?"

It was all New's idea to spill something on himself during the party after the success of Sports Fest. He made sure that Gulf will do as what he planned. Well, he succeeded. He did get the picture and was able to send it to Mew. Mew sure did get angry but it wasn't to New's expectation. 

New is really obsess with Gulf. Everything he did is because of Gulf. From moving in to Gulf's dorm after knowing it's vacant, to joining the football game hoping he'll get to play with him, to making Gulf breakfasts, to keeping his bed clean after Gulf leaves it a complete mess, to moving to the new dorm. It was all for Gulf. To see Gulf. He doesn't care if Gulf's got a boyfriend. He just wants Gulf.

"In every activity that we will be doing, you will be teaming up with your roommates, understood?"

Upon the announcement, it feels like the whole world fell out on its axis.  Mew and Gulf are stuck with New the whole trip. Mew tried his best to protest to their coach that they don't want to be teamed up with New. But it was hopeless. The coach is so eager to have them as a team and kept on reminding them the objectives of this camp. Mew left with no choice, accepted the challenge as he agreed to the terms before joining the camp so might as well abide by the rules.

"Wrong move, I'll kill you."

The hot-blooded Mew warned the cool New. But instead of showing fear of what Mew has said, it turns out, it excites him more. It makes him think more of ways to annoy Mew.

The whole team are all set to go hiking. There's a catch once their team came first at the top of the mountain: they'll be the kings of the camp. They will be granted with privilege of doing anything they want. As in, EVERYTHING.

"I will make you carry me all the way to the foot of the mountain. Just so you wait, Gulf."

With arms both on his waist, Top proudly said. Pete stood beside him and copied what Top has said.

"And that goes for me, too. P'Mew, get ready."

Mew and Gulf just stiffled a laugh to these two young lads. They are not going to let them win. Mew has already decided to win to ask for their coach to let them change rooms, or roommate perhaps.

"We must get to the top first, Gulf."

The other guy sensed the intention of Mew and nodded at him.

The race has started. Everybody started off with great enthusiasm of winning.

"P'Mew."

The already tired guy called out for his P'. They have been almost halfway of the race but they don't think they'll make it to the first place. There are so many ahead of them.

"Are you okay? Shall we take a rest first?"

Mew who is a few steps ahead of Gulf, turned to help the exhausted guy. The motion sickness still gives him a hard time, that's why.

"Here, drink this.""Drink this."

Two bottles are right in front of the panting guy. One was Mew's. And the other one is New's.

Mew suddenly felt irritated. He looked at the other guy who offered his boyfriend a bottle of water with a great anger in his eyes. He tapped the other guy's hand with his bottle, but the latter also did the same. And it caused for the bottle Mew is holding to fell on the ground, as the water escapes from its container.

Gulf on the other hand, coughs. Both the two young lads panicked and the only thing that comes into their mind is to give him water. Mew is stoned as his water is now swimming on the ground. Which left New with the chance. He gave his bottle to Gulf and drank it till its empty.

"What do you think you are doing!?"

Mew couldn't stand it. He grabbed New by his collar and his right arm is already up in the air, ready to punch the other guy. 

New smirked which added fuel to the fire.

"Why? Does it hurt your pride? You'll just watch him choke to his death instead of accepting my help? Really? You that kind of selfish man?"

That hit the spot. 

Mew landed a strong punch on New's face. And before he knew it, he's already bleeding.

"Stop it already!"

Gulf who just recovered enough, stood between the two. 

"I told you, just one wrong move and you'll die!"

Mew shouted on the other side.

They started getting everyone's attention. P'Earth who happened to be just nearby, came to stop them. 

"Then, I guess I'll just die." New replied with one corner of his lip pulled up to the side.

Mew was about to attack again the other party but their P'Earth managed to stop him.

"You two, get back to the site. You will not finish this anymore. Instead, do 1,000 push-ups. Both of you. Understood?"

The race finished with Top's team as the first placer. Their team gets the title of being the KINGS for the whole trip. They boss around just like what kings do. 

On the other hand, Gulf's roommates are busy completing the 1,000 push-ups. It is the price they had to pay for misbehaving.

The camp went just like that; Mew and New being intense with each other. They almost develop every muscle in their bodies for getting too much punishment because of misbehaving. 

"P'Mew, how are you? How is your body?" They are now headed back to their dorms as their camp has come to its end. He sighed. "You should be relaxing there. But what did you do? You worked out like hell." He wanted to laugh, to be honest. But seeing how sore his P'Mew's body is, he opted not to.

"As my title of being the king is still effective, I order each and everyone of you to....."

Everyone panicked because all they know is silly acts.

"get enough rest when you get home. Understood?" Pete who knows nothing but silliness, announced. 

"Hell yeah!!!"

"That's what you really need right now, P'. Rest."

Gulf forgot about his motion sickness and now it is his turn to look after his boyfriend who sores all over his body. 

The bus stopped as they now reached their destination. Both Mew and Gulf had to dropped by a convenience store to buy hot patches for Mew. 

Gulf left Mew on the other side of the highway and crossed the street alone. When he gets back, with plastic bag on his hands, he smiled at his P'Mew across the street. He's waiting for the traffic light to go green. 

Mew, although tired, returned his lover's smiles tenfold. He would even shoot Gulf with his winks and the other guy would smile even more. It continued like that until green light. 

Mew decided to meet Gulf halfway so he can walk him back. His eyes are fixated only at Gulf. As if they are the only ones left on the earth. 

Gulf noticed an incoming car. It is still green light so it will stop soon, he thinks so.

But it did not.

Instead, it went faster than it was before. Lights on full beam.

He looked at Mew who is still looking only at him. He pointed the direction of the car but Mew doesn't seem to get what he is implying. 

The plastic bag he is holding, slipped from his hand as run towards Mew's direction. The car looks like it isn't stopping. And saving Mew is the only thing he can think of.

"P'Mew!!!"

Along with the loud scream of Gulf is the impact of his body being thrown to the ground was heard. 

"Hey, Gulf!!!"

Mew called his name many times but he can't hear him. His vision is not clear, too. It was all pain that he can feel. Everything hurts. He can't even move a finger. 

The coppery taste of blood filled his mouth. 

"Y-You're s-safe now." And his vision went all black.

"Gulf, wake up! Please wake up! Please! Please! Gulf!"

As much as he wanted to wake up, his eyes are so heavy. He kept trying and trying until they opened. 

"Was it just another dream?" he asked himself.

"Gulf, you're awake!"

He has still not gotten his strength back and he can't recognize who just spoke.

"Gulf, it's me, Top. Your friend. Thank goodness, after six months, you're now awake. Nurse! Nurse! He's now awake."

What did he just say? Six months?

Gulf tried his best to pull up himself to sit. His other friend, Pete, helped him.

"What do you mean six months?" confused, he asked.

"You've been unconscious for six months, Gulf. This is the first time you wake up since the accident." But no matter what Pete says, he can't understand a thing.

"Where's P'Mew?"

Pete looked at Top, who just came back after calling a nurse, as if he doesn't know what to answer.

"Uh..."

"Where's P'Mew!?"
