Into The Expanding Universe

I Can't

"I can't, P'Sing!" Krist shrieked in fear when Singto tried to drag him onto the roller coaster.

"Come on, Kit. It wasn't that scary at all."

"But P'Sing, you know that I'm afraid of heights." He exclaimed and Singto halted, turning back and gazed at him worriedly.

"Why don't..."

"Come on, N'Krist! You promised to film you riding the rollercoaster if we manage to film Friendship with Krist Singto Season 3." The director, P'Non provoked the young actor as he stood a few feet away with a loudspeaker in his hand.

"But P'..."

"Are you actually lying to me? You know how hard I tried to get approval to continue this show and now you're telling me that you don't actually want to continue?" P'Non faked a sob while eyeing Krist mischievously.

"I didn't know that you're really going to this extent!" Krist replied defiantly which earned a few snickers from the crew.

"Well, you did make a promise and we're really excited to see you ride on a roller coaster, so why not?" P'Non smirked at Krist as the latter slumped his shoulder defeatedly.

"It's alright, Kit. I'll be there with you." Singto hugged his waist and gave it a squeeze as he tried to console his partner. Both in the show and in life.

"Don't you even begin with it!" Instead of melting in Singto's arms as usual, Krist retorted when he thought about those stupid promises he blurted out and immediately regretted it.

"When can I ever learn to keep my mouth shut?" He thought to himself.

It was a few days after that awful roller coaster ride and Krist still felt nauseous every time he thought about it.

But he's facing another problem now.

"Hey guys, as promised by Kit, when I hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube, he'll be bungee jumping. So here we are!" Singto was doing a live stream as he pointed the camera to show the viewers the fascinating scenery behold in front of their eyes.

The team and both Krist and Singto were on a mountain with the bungee jumping facility and below was just the thick and dense forest. The mountain was smothered in dull-colored mist and fog, they were shivering in the cold and most of them gathered their jackets about them.

"It is quite cold here and Kit was too cold to even speak." Singto said as he pointed the camera towards Krist as the latter glared at him.

"I'm not speaking anymore." He grunted and Singto immediately went up to him, with his camera pointing elsewhere, he pulled the younger in his embrace as the latter snuggled further into his chest.

"What's wrong?" Singto whispered when he felt the soft bite on his collarbone.

"I hate my mouth." Krist muttered and trembled when a gust of cold wind blew.

"Hmm?"

"I tend to blurt things out without thinking twice." His voice muffled as he buried his face into Singto's jacket.

"You don't wanna bungee jump anymore? It's alright if it's too much for you." He coaxed the younger and signalled P'Jane to come and get his camera so that he can wrap his scarf around the younger. They're currently in Switzerland for about two weeks already to film both their show and Singto's YouTube channel's video in the midst of vacation.

"No, I didn't mean that, P'Sing" Krist lifted his head slightly, feeling the warmth of Singto's body heat from the scarf he was wrapping around him," Can you give me some time to calm down? I'm feeling really nervous right now. What if the rope or the safety wire broke suddenly? Will I die?"

Krist shivered a little because of that thought but Singto grasped his chin and tilted his face upwards, planting a soft kiss on his lips. His heart swells with love and affection as he grabs Singto's nape, deepening the kiss.

"Ahem!" They slowly pulled away when they heard P'Yui cleared her throat," Your camera is still on."

Singto pecked his lips once more before letting him go and took his camera from P'Jane.

"You can take your time, Kit. We'll be here for quite some time anyways." Singto brushed Krist's hair lightly with his fingers and glared at P'Jane when he rolled his eyes, tapping on his watch as he signalled to Singto that they'll be leaving in around two and a half hours which includes bungee jumping and retreating from the mountain.

"Let's go, P'Sing. We still need to visit the alpaca farm later. I can't wait to finally see alpacas." He was skip-walking for a moment and instantly stopped on his track when he saw the sign in front.

'Bungee jump station in 20m.'

"Come on, Kit. You sure don't want to miss the alpacas, right?" Singto noticed Krist's distress and came to him, hugging his waist as he led the latter to the station all the while calming him.

"Umm, P'." Krist was freaking out internally when he was standing near the cliff with all the safety measures done.

"I've a surprise, Kit. We'll be doing a tandem bungee jump instead of a solo one." Singto neared him and held his hand.

"Really?!" Krist was really astonished to hear him.

"Yes, so let's go then." Singto guided him to the edge of the cliff and engulfed him in a hug as the workers were doing the last preparations needed.

"Ready,Kit?" With every step Singto paced, he led Krist and him closer to the end of the cliff and Krist's legs started trembling in fear.

"No! I'm not ready! Let me go! P'Sing, stop!" Krist was shrieking out loud when he saw the thick forest underneath from the high ground he's at.

"I can't! I really can't! I'm not doing this anymore! Let me go!" He was still screaming when SIngto abruptly jumped and the both of them began to fall.

"I fucking hate you, Singto! We are breaking up, you asshole!"

When Krist was finally able to stand with his feet rooted to the ground, he swore to ignore Singto until the end of their trip.

But his plan was obstructed when Singto proposed to him at the alpaca farm.

"Will you marry me, Krist? We've been dating for 8 years and I would like to take this to the next step."

"It's a yes, P'Sing and I too, would like to take this relationship to the next step. With you."
