for you • blasnique

anymore.

blaster bought a pad of sticky notes and a pen with a matching bouquet of flowers.

he went to the rooftop and saw unique, lying down, staring at the stars, he stood up and smiled when he saw blaster.

"i'd like to give you these flowers for you, unique."

and he smiled,

"you don't have to, actually."

"i don't have to, but i want to."

unique accepted the bouquet and gently put it down his feet.

"you showed up." unique plainly said.

"why wouldn't i? you're breaking up with me, of course i need to see this momentous event."

"abot mo yan sakin." unique reached his hands for the sticky notes and the pen.

blaster kindly gave it to unique.

"thanks."

'i want to break up.'

a tear fell down from blaster's eye as he shakily spoke, "bakit? we can work this ou--"

"shut up, i'm not ready."

blaster pushed unique, "bakit ba? ano bang nanyari sayo? why did you suddenly want to break up? eh parang yesterday okay ka pa ah?! bakit? bakit mo ako sinagot kung ayaw mo naman pala?! kung di mo pa kaya--"

unique hugged the crying, pitiful blaster; almost stepping on the flowers.

"stop, stop crying, it hurts."

"it hurts din naman sa parte ko eh," blaster angrily yet sadly yelled habang kumakawala sa yakap ni unique.

"i need space."

"dalhin kita sa venus, you want? space lang naman pala ang gusto mo eh!"

"ayoko na! ayan ba gusto mo marinig?!" sigaw ni unique kay blaster na pulang pula na ang mata at ang mukha.

hinawakan ni blaster ang kamay ni unique.

unique slowly lets go of blaster's tight hold. blaster cried, while unique was trying to resist him. 

"whatever makes you happy, unique." and blaster let go of his hand.

unique hugged blaster, locking him in his arms and kissed his forehead. "i loved you." 

kumawala na si unique at kinuha ang bouquet, leaving blaster.

lumingon si blaster at tinignan si unique na bababa na rooftop.

"i love you too." at tumalikod.

bago makababa si unique, "unique."

tumigil si unique, hindi lumingon.

"ano?"

"babalik ka pa ba?"

"oo."

ngumiti si blaster, kahit kaunti lang.

"talaga?"

parehas silang hindi nakatapat sa isa't isa. si unique ay nakatingin sa hagdan at si blaster, tinitignan ang mga gusali, buwan at ang mga kumikinang na bituin.

"pero bilang kaibigan na lang."

bumaba ang ngiti ni blaster kasabay ang pagbaba ni unique sa rooftop at iniwan si blaster na umiiyak.

"hanggang kaibigan na nga lang talaga."
