Ruin The Friendship [DonBelle]

THREE

School passed rather slowly to Donny's pleasure, but now that it was over, he couldn't contain his grin. School being over and done with meant basketball practice and basketball practice meant having Belle's gawking eyes on him for a whole hour.

Donny may not say it or agree with it but, he rather enjoyed showing off in front of his crush. Especially when that said crush relentlessly showered him with compliments right after.

So, Donny practically sprinted through the annoyingly loud and crowded hallway towards his locker to retrieve what ever belongings he needed to bring home. And, after shoving his jacket into his bag and closing his own locker, he started making his way towards Belle's locker that was further down the hallway. He slowed down his pace and steadied his breath before standing behind the smaller girl.

"Ready?" Donny asked. Belle turned her head slightly and sent a curt nod and small smile,

"Yeah, just give me a sec. I'm double checking if I need to bring anything else." Donny nodded as Belle turned back around. The taller ones took the chance to lean forward and rest his chin on Belle's shoulder from behind. He tilted his face slightly towards Belle's ear and sighed,

"A second passed already. Let's go.." Donny whined with Belle rolling her eyes and giggling after shivering from the older ones warm breath tickling her ear. The younger one leaned her cheek against Donny's as she continued to organize her things in her locker,

"You're such a whiner," she teased. Donny laughed lightly while sliding his hands around Belle's stomach and playfully blew into the girls ear, earning her another angel like giggle.

"And you're slow," he fired back while tickling her sides causing Belle to gasp and laugh lightly, "And ticklish," he added. Belle whined while placing her hands over Donny's that still held her waist and intertwined their fingers together, stopping his movements.

"Keep that up and I will take my sweet time," Belle warned, turning her face to look at Donny and rolling her eyes towards the smug like expression. Their faces were quite close but neither flinched nor backed down. They were used to the sudden proximity, but that never ceased the abnormal beating in Donny's chest. So, to mask his nerves, Donny playfully groaned and pulled away.

"Fine, fine," he chuckled out, walking around the smaller one and leaning his side against the lockers, but before he could, Belle grabbed onto his wrist, pulling him back to his previous spot and placed his arms back around her waist from behind.

"Doesn't mean you should let go."

Clingy, just how Donny liked it.

"Pass it!" Donny shouted from the court. His teammate Gello didn't hesitate and bounced the ball towards him as he noticed he was being blocked by two players. Donny instantly caught it and forced his tired legs to run and dribble the ball as fast as he could. And, by the time he was past the three pointer line, he stopped and held in a breath as he shot the ball up towards the net.

Nothing but net.

"That's my boy!!"

Donny looked over towards the empty benches and laughed seeing Belle clapping and jumping in excitement. The black haired boy laughed and sent a wink, enjoying the warmth in his chest whenever Belle sent her an award winning gummy smile. It was his favorite smile.

"Your girlfriend does know that this is only a practice game right?" Donny looked behind him and sent a tiny glare towards her teammate Patrick,

"Not my girlfriend."

Unfortunately.

Patrick quirked up an eyebrow with a surprised smirk, "Really? You guys sure do act like one though. I wonder why you haven't asked her to be yours yet," he teased. Donny turned around and playfully punched his shoulder.

Don't get him wrong, Donny always wanted to ask Belle to be his but it seemed to be absolutely impossible. It wasn't the fear of losing her or ruining what they had now, it was the timing.

Timing was never on his side because whenever he did decide to ask Belle out, Belle somehow always ended up getting a boyfriend before he got the chance. And Belle getting a boyfriend proved to him that he didn't feel the same way.

"Shut it Pat," he mused with a light laugh but gasped in surprise as an arm suddenly draped itself over his shoulder,

"Well why don't you be mine instead baby boy," teased Robi. "I could treat you like a prince my darling," he added, slowly getting on one knee and holding both of Donny's hands. Patrick laughed and joined in, sliding down to one knee and snatching one of Donny's hands out of Robi's grasp.

"No! Be mine baby boy. Let me rock your world," he winked. Donny rolled his head back and laughed loudly.

Other than Belle, Rhys and Kaori, Donny's basketball teammates were like his family. Especially Patrick and Robi. Since they were originally from Philippines as well, it was easier for him to get along with them.

"Sorry boys but," arms were suddenly wrapped around Donny's waist, and by the sweet scent, Donny knew who those arms belonged to, "This boy right here belongs to me." Donny shivered feeling teeth playfully grazing his neck before walking him backwards, away from the pleading duo.

Robi playfully pouted with a knowing glint in his eyes as he extended his arm out, trying to reach for Donny,

"No! My love!" Patrick pulled back Robi's arm and hugged him tightly, feigning a look of utter defeat,

"Let him go. If you love someone you must set them free." Patrick exasperated. Donny watched and laughed before holding the arms that were still holding him from behind.

"Please ignore the dramatics," he teased before turning around in Belle's arms. He met Belle's narrowed eyes and gulped nervously under the intensity of her gaze. But feeling Belle's hands rubbing up and down his sides soothingly, he felt the fear slowly washing away. Belle hummed,

"I'll ignore them as long as they know one thing."

Donny tilted her in confusion, "And, what's that?"

Belle gripped onto his waist a little tightly which had Donny biting his bottom lip to hold in a whimper. The smaller one flickered her eyes to Donny's lips before glaring at the duo behind her.

"Belle Mariano doesn't like sharing."
