CHILDISH as it may seem but for Vester, Pavlo would do it anyway. For him, no block nor screen can stop the both of them from doing ridiculous and cute things together. He's contented seeing the other smile childishly.

He's okay, that's what he guesses. But his annoyance couldn't. The most pesky part of his day is that he is dressed up in a baby pink pixie outfit collection that Vester brought for him along with some color books. They're dressed up the same much to the younger's amusement.

He's pretty sure Jallen would make fun of him when he finally sees it. He pouted, watching Vester on his screen coloring a book. From that very moment, he's not seeing a grown-up man but a child enjoying his time. He's glad Vester is curing his inner child.

"Cute mo," he commented matter-of-factly.

"Alam ko pero mas cute tayong dalawa. Makikita mo, i-p-post ko itong pictures natin mamaya sa private account ko," Vester winks at him.

"Vester, please..." he pleads, shaking his head. Keir and Jallen can see that if ever. He's so done with the teasing. He doesn't want another one.

"Ngingiti na 'yan... ngingiti na 'yan..." Vester teased as soon as he finished shading the whole Doraemon color book.

He rolled his eyes. "Ayoko!"

Vester laughs, "Ang cute mo. Dali na kasi. Iyong ngiti mo kanina habang nag-screenshot tayo. Ang ganda mo kaya."

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo!" Pavlo grimaced as he proceeded to color a Barbie color book collection. His head ticks that all he wants to do is to crumple it up and toss it away. Gladly, his logical thought is still with him.

"Paano ba 'yan, eh ikaw ang buhay ko?" Vester suppresses a smile.

"Tumigil ka! Hindi na ako natutuwa sa pinaggagawa ko!" Pavlo wants to smack the younger who just laughed at him.

"Ginusto mo ito, Pavlo. Ikaw ang nag-suggest ng childhood-childhood date thingy na iyan tapos ngayon, magagalit ka?" Vester wiggles his brows.

"Alam ko pero ito talaga? Sailor Moon? Barbie? Dora? Fairies?" He tried grasping for his wits. "Pwede namang Naruto, Ben 10 o kahit anong anime na lang sana. Isama pa itong makating dress at nakakairitang wig—argh!"

"Ang cute, my god!" Vester laughs hard.

He gasps annoyingly and says, "Anong cute? Sipain kita eh!"

"Huwag na ikaw magtampo, bebe. Lablab ka naman ni Vester eh." The younger even leans closer to the camera with a wide grin. "Love you, Pao."

He couldn't help but conceal his face into the mattress, trying to cover up his red-tinted cheeks. He spoke in his muffled voice, trying to complain again. "Kainis! Sabing unaccomplished childhood memories..."

"Nagawa ko na nga 'to dati pero gusto ko lang ibalik," Vester giggles, "Mas masaya nga ito kaysa sa dati eh. Kasama kita kahit ang layo natin sa isa't-isa."

This time, he looks up and he smiles genuinely. "Okay. Let's do board games naman next time. Maybe we should relive our childhood memories na lang para mas masaya."

"Gusto ko ng snake and ladder tapos 'di ba may hagdan doon?" Vester voices it out excitedly.

Pavlo hums, "Oo. Bakit? Ano na namang ngiti iyan, Vester?"

The younger snorted. "Wala naman. Gagamitin ko lang ang pinakamataas na hagdan para umakyat ng ligaw sa'yo."

He made a face after. "Malala ka na. Baka nakakalimutan mong may mga alaga si Valentina ro'n. Sobrang dami tapos lahat ng sizes nandoon."
