i whispered, starting at the view infront of us while i leaned my head on stell's shoulder. i looked up at him, our faces only inches apart. stell moved closer and i closed my eyes when i felt his lips touch my forehead in the most gentle way possible. i couldn't help but smile. this feels magical...
he whispered, his lips still attached onto my forehead.
silence.
we were suddenly enveloped by silence as we both are mesmerized by the view of the city below this hill. stell told me he used to go here before with his dad, but after his dad's death, he stopped visiting this place because it hurt him to remember all his memories with him. this was his first time going back to this place in six long years.
i sighed. stell deserves some explanation, even if he's not asking for anything.
i started and i felt stell lean his head on top of mine, probably signaling me that he's listening.
stell snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me close until i was sitting infront of him. my back was leaning on his chest and his left cheek was pressed on the left side of my head while he hugs me from behind. i kept my hands on top of his which were on top of my stomach.
i scoffed, not because of annoyance, but rather because of amusement.
i said and stell chuckled. i felt the vibrations from his chest to my back, sending chills all over my body, making me feel something.
i nodded and giggled.
stell said which made me fix myself and sat properly to face him. we were both sitting in indian sit position as he held both of my hands.
i nodded.
my heart suddenly started beating fast. what is he gonna say ??

alam ko na 'to, diba? alam ko na dapat 'to eh. but why do i feel so shocked right now? maybe because he finally said it in person? aRRRGGHH SASABOG NA 'KO SA KILIG T_______T
i complained when he flicked my forehead and chuckled.
parang tanga naman T___T
i blurted out and immediately covered my mouth. WHAT THE FUCKSHFJDBCKFHDHK
i only looked at stell and shock was evident on his face as well. he started grinning widely and covered his mouth with his fist while trying to look away. HE'S SO ADORABLE.
aaaaaa he's stuttering ano ba he's super adorable T______T
i finally let go of my mouth and held his hands instead. they were so cold! ><
he breathed deeply before sheepishly asking,
i whispered and he giggled.
i said, emphasizing the 'so'.
stell laughed and suddenly hugged me, pulling the both of us to fall and lie on the grass. now we look like we're cuddling. ><
stell planted a soft kiss on my forehead once again and i hugged him by his waist, burying my face on the crook of his neck.
how i wish i wouldn't have to let you go, ever. :(

Genre : Fantasy
*Voiced by a 1970s radio-advertisement narrator* Are you... Tired of your Main Characters getting absurd power-ups? Tired of your side characters having nonsensical plot armors? Tired of your overpowered MCs delivering zero thrills, and their gigantic harems irritating the shit out of you? Tired of your MCs behaving like edgelords for no reason? If your answer is yes, then you have come to the right place. Join us and watch as he slowly gets fucked up(figuratively) by the foreign world he was kidnapped to. Watch him slowly morph from a normal teen into a sociopath who enjoys murdering, suffers from PTSD, and see how he tries to redeem himself from it. And much much more, only at Genre: Fantasy. T&C may apply. This is a slow-paced novel(the prologue itself consists of a dozen chapters.) that pressurizes more on the relations between its characters. Death is common, so better not get attached to characters here and there.
