Chapter Twenty-Four: Treat

-chapter twenty-four-

THIRD PERSON

Caspian was squatting in the corner alley, softly petting a black cat. Hinihintay niyang matapos sa pag-uusap sina Finn at ang childhood friend nitong si Sebastian.

"What'cha doin' with the kitty?"

Caspian's hand froze and he looked at the owner of the voice. Nakahilig si Kairo sa wall na malapit at nakahalukipkip. The first three buttons of his shirt were undone and his hair was a bit messy. Kumikintab ang tatlong piercing niya sa kaliwang tainga.

Caspian regarded him with a nod. They're not very close for Kairo to start conversations, although the other is very known for his friendly nature.

"What are you doing here?" natanong ni Caspian nang nanatili ang ngisi sa labi ng kausap.

"Thought my kitten would appear if I just follow you." Kairo tilted his head to the side, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hindi ko alam ibang pusa pala nilalaro mo. Are you very fond of them?"

"They're adorable."

Caspian watched the cat as it left his side and strutted towards Kairo, who was already sitting down to take it in his arms.

"Hm." anito at hinimas ang may leeg ng pusa. "You should stick to these type of cats, though, and stop following mine."

Ilang ulit na nakita ni Caspian ito. When Kairo gains interest over something, he becomes obsessed with it. Ito ay isang bagay na alam na ng karamihan na pro-gamers. Kairo will do anything to get what and who he wants.

Still, it irritates Caspian.

"If you're talking about Finn, huwag sa ganiyang paraan." seryosong tugon niya. "She is not yours or anyone."

Sure, Caspian wants to see all of Finn's adorable expression to himself, but he doesn't want to chain her. Ayaw na ayaw niya sa mga ganoong salita, dahil minsan sa sobrang pagkatotoo nila dito ay nakakagawa na sila ng masama.

Kairo was unfazed, but Caspian already knew that. Hindi madaling maiba ang opinyon nito, at hindi din siya mabilis sumunod sa sinasabi ng ibang tao. That's why Kairo and Oliver are compatible, they're childish, stubborn, and very passionate about their goals.

"Caspian-"

Tumigil si Finn sa paglalakad nang makita si Kairo kaharap ang lalaking tinawag. The man stared at her with an unreadable stare. It was out of ordinary, lalo na't kapag nakikita niya ito ay palaging may ngisi sa labi. It's odd seeing Kairo so serious.

Finn felt relief when he grinned. "What, kitten? Ain't gonna greet me?"

Tinanguan niya ang binata kasi hindi niya naman ni-greet si Caspian kanina. Tinawag niya lang ito.

"Sa'n si Oliver?" tanong ni Finn na nagpakunot sa noo ng dalawang lalaki.

Kairo scowled at the thought of that stupid boy being searched for. Alam niyang magka-alliance ang dalawa, pero parang wala naman itong mabuting interaksiyon na magiging dahilan para hanapin ni Finn si Oliver.

"Bakit? May kailangan ka sa kaniya?"

Finn nodded at Caspian's question. Hindi na siya nagdagdag pa ng rason dahil masasagot lang naman sa simpleng oo at hindi ang tanong nito.
