How Can I Even Hate You?

Chapter 13

Ace's pov

As we cuddled the whole morning, the doorbell rang. I sighed as I stood up and see who was at the door. "Yes?" I said.

"Don't tell me you guys haven't moved since this morning?" Kai said as he entered. I laughed and closed the door behind as I asked "It's just you?"

"Do you see anyone coming in besides me?" he glared as he puts the plastic down. "I'll be making breakfast so shut up and call Austin."

"Okay, chill. Why the hell are you so hotheaded?" I yawned as I walk towards the door of the bedroom. "Shorty, wake up." I called out as I slowly walks towards the bed. I ruffled his hair as I squat down beside him. "Hmmm? 10 minutes," he groaned and turn to the other side.

"Nope," I said as I stood up and pull the blanket up, exposing his n***d butt. As he turned back to face me, he smiled and raised both of his arms. "Carry me," he pouts. I chuckled and sighed as I placed my hand below his armpit and carried him up. I took the blanket with my other hand and covered his back as I carry him out of the room. "Austin is present." I said

"Now eat," Kai said as he puts down 3 plates with eggs and bacon on it. He puts down another plate with a stack of 6 pancakes as he put butter on top and poured the maple syrup. He then poured both glasses with milk. I smirked and said "That was fast,"

"Multitasking is a thing, honey." he said as he sat down in front of us and sighed. I looked at him while I try to feed Austin and said "Had a fight with Jake, huh?" He looked at me and glared as he sighed and said "I don't wanna talk about it,"

"Ahh!" Austin suddenly shouted. I asked him if he's okay and he said "When's the prom?" Kai and I looked at each other and laughed as he scratched his head and furrowed his brows.

"Tomorrow night," I said while calming myself down. He suddenly stopped moving and looked at me. "What?" he asked. I laughed once again and said "Tomorrw night, dumbass. Don't worry, I have your suit ready and I asked for your parents' permission about it as well so chill."

He suddenly slouched down and sighed "Really?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As we were done eating, both of us took a bath and arrange evrything we used so that Johnny won't arrange a lot of stuff later. While we change the beddings, I noticed Austin massaging his own while we bend down to straighten the bed. I quietly moved closer to his back and massage it myself. "Did I overdid it last night?" I asked

He blushed and covered his face. "A bit,"he mumbles. I chuckled and told him to rest on the couch outside while Kai and I finish the rest. After a while, there was knock on the door. "Coming,'' I said as I walk towards the door and open it. Johnny and the others smiled and said "We're here to help. Well, somehow."

I laughed and shakemy head as they entered. Jake, who was last to enter, didn't seem to be in the mood to talk. "Hey," I said "I'll massage Austin for awhile so can you help Kai with the vacuum and stuff?" He looked awfully down but he agreed anyway. "Lie on your stomach," I said as I walk towards him. He suddenly sat up as he lift his shrt up and look at his stomach.

"I don't like eating, I'm on a diet? I don't love Ace? I will exercise tomorrow? I don't want to eat fries or potatoes in general?" he said with confusion. I palmed my head while stopping myself from laughing. I moved closer to him and gently push him down myself. "Thank you," he said as I start massaging his back. While I put more weight on my hands, I sat on his lap, before his butt.

The more weight I put, the more he moans. I closed my eyes as I try to focus on massaging him and try not to get turn on. I can feel myself getting hard below from all of this. "Can I sit on your lap while hugging you?" he asked while I snpapped back to reality and said yes. As we change our position, I remembered that my c**k was hard bt it was too late since he already sat down.

He look back, as if he's checking if someone's around. "They're arranging the bed while Kai and Jake are on the bathroom, doing laundry." I said and chuckled. He turn back to me and smashed his lips against mine. We were both becoming desperate after I made an entrance and wanted more. My eyes widen as soon as he started touching me.

I smirked while I pulled him closed and put my hand inside his shorts from behind. While groping his butt, he suddenly became weak as he leaned on my shoulder. "You like that?" I whispered "But what if I touch you here?" I asked while I move my finger in circular motion against his hole. "What do you want me to do?" I asked as he slightly push me, to look at me. As he glared at me, I laughed and continued teasing him. He then leaned down on my shoulder and whispered "Put it in,"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prom Night...

Yesterday evening, I gave the suit to Austin and promised that I will go pick him up. But he refused and said that he'll go with Jamie. I trust him and Jamie anyway but I'm worried as f**k. It's been a while since we were waiting for them to come. I called and texted but no response. I asked Kai and the others to call or message Jamie and Austin but nothing. "s**t, where are they?" I mumbled.

I sighed as I was getting impatient and anxious but I noticed everyone stopped and looked at the school ballroom hall door. It opened widely and was bright. It's like a scene in a movie where the hero comes in to save the day in silhouette to make the entrance more dramatic. As three people came in, we were all stunned and mesmerized as Austin came in with full make up and light blue glitter in his upper cheeks. While Jamie is in full make up as well alongside with... a guy?

I don't care who that is, but damn. My baby's hot. I immediately stood up and walk towards Austin as I smiled and kept admiring him while walking. As soon as his eyes landed on mine, he ran and gave me a hug. "The suit is beautiful, I love it." he looked up and smiled widely. "Thank you,"

I averted my eyes as I became shy and said "I knew you liked navy blue so that's why I picked that suit. Since I visualized that you'll look beautiful on it." I chuckled and entwined our hands together. "Let's go," I pulled him in the center of the hall as we both dance and partied. Kai and the others followed us on the dancefloor as well.

After a while, Jamie introduced Mason, the guy who was with him when they entered. In turns out, it was Jamie's boyfriend. After the chit-chat, a slow dance was played. I looked at Austin as he averted his eyes and offered my hand to him. "I would like to take you for a dance, my love."

"Oh shut up," he blushed and chuckled as he took my hand. I twirled him around and as he end up facing me, I wrap my arms around his waist as he placed his hands on my chest. "I love you,"

"I love you too," I said, leaning down and kissed his forehead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few weeks later....

It has been a few weeks from now since that night of the prom but it was the most memorable thing that happened to me. To be honest, after that night I kept asking Austin to do more cosplay exclusive for me only. For many weeks, our nights together has been so good and satisfying. As I reached my locker, I was startled as someone hug me from behind. "Hey," I said as I turn around and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Pssht!" He pushes me slightly while he laughs "Don't do that! What if anyone saw that?" He whispers as he turns red. Cute. I teasingly bit my lower lip and whispered in a low sexy tone "So if we do it inside the storage room, will it be okay?"

"D-don't... U-uhm," he stutters. I laugh as I stole another kiss from him. "H-hey!" he suddenly stopped and smiled "Oh right by the way. My cousin is coming tomorrow morning, I think he's going to school with me..."

"Cousin? Who?"

"My cousin Reiven. He is really cool and a bit shy to new people." he said "He's about the same age as us though and I think you and the others will like him. Though he was here 2 years ago,"

"I guess I'll meet him tomorrow then,"

Next day...

It seems that Austin is really excited. Curiosity is crawling in my nerves. That Reiven guy is definitely familiar. I don't think I have ever fight a guy named Reiven but he is sure damn familiar. I sighed as I walk up to my locker with Kai and the others behind me.

"What's with the sigh??" Kai asked "You seem to be thinking about something,"

"Yup," I said as I put my book and notebook in my bag "Austin's cousin, Reiven. Austin told me all about him and that I should go meet him this afternoon. But when he metioned it yesterday, something feels off?"

"Hmm? Don't you think you're just jealous? Since Austin is talking about someone who sees to be greater than you," Jake mocked. I became flustered and said "He's a family member,"

"What's his name again?" Kai asked

"Reiven,"

"Hmmm.. Reiven... Reiven... Rei... Ven," he says as his eyes widen . "Don't you think he's-" Jake pauses as they look at each other and me. I asked them"What's with you both?"

"Come here," they said as they pull me to the corner and asked "Don't you remember?"

"Remember what?"

"Reiven. The guy who confessed to you two years ago?" Kai said as he deeply looked at me. I furrowed my brows and said "Huh?"

"The first guy you fell in love with?" Jake said. I furrowed my brows even more and said "Wait wait wait! Austin is the first guy I fell in love with!"

"Wait what?"

"Uhm guys... He is actually Johnny's first love," Steve says. We were all awkwardly silent as Johnny's eyes were wide and seemed afraid.

"I-I gotta go," he said as he suddenly ran away.

Johnny's pov

"Why?! Just why is he back?! After 2 years... f**k!" I mumbled as I quickly walk through the hallway. Memories keeps flashing back especially the day he confessed...

Flashback (2 years ago)...

"Johnny, I-I love you! Please be my lover!" Reiven shouts. My mind is a bit messy. Many questions came to my mind. What the hell is he talking about? Is he serious? But then without thinking, I said "Sure,"

"Really?" He smiles as our eyes met. Reiven, a small kind of guy and has a feminine body and face. His eyes is light brown as his hair is blonde. I admit he is kinda cute. He was really trying hard to make me fall in love with him. At first, it was all some kind of a joke for me. But as time passes by, I learned to love him. I fell in love with him.

"Reiven, there's something I need to tell you." I smile as we sat on my bed. He started tearing up and shaking as he asked "Y-you wanna break up?!"

"What?! No!!" I laughed "Dumbass,"

"O-oh," he sighs in relief

"Well, since today is our monthsary I want to tell you this." I smiled brightly as I kneel down in front of him "I finally learned how to love you," I said as I kiss his lips. When I let go, his eyes tears up as he hugs me.

"Th-thank you!" He cried"I-I never expected for you to fall for me too. I thought I was just your toy or something like that-"

"Okay okay. Stop crying now okay?" I said as I held his chin up and kiss him.

Flashback ends...

I was trembling and can't help but to cry from that memory. Do I still love him? Do I miss him? Its been two years now. I'm happy with Steve but why do I feel so anxious? Why am I still hurt? "Johnny!!" Steve shouts and catches up with me. "Wait!" He grabs me byt the hand as I stop on my tracks and look down. My tears won't stop streaming down and he suddenly pulled me in a hug. "Don't cry,"

As I lean on his chest, I can't stop crying which made him pull me to the corner of the hallway. "I-I love you," I cried "But why the hell am I still hurt?" He stroked my hair down as he kept me company.

"Johnny?" I flinched as I turn around and see Austin looking a bit worried. I was startled as soon as I saw Reiven behind him "What's the matter? You okay?"

"A-Austin," I said awkwardly while stepping back. Steve hold my arm, making sure I won't stumble down.

"Are you okay? You look awful." he said while I nodded. He then smiled "Alright. By the way, this is my cousin Reiven! I guess you guys know him since he was here 2 years ago."

"Hey!" Deep voice, taller and he has more muscles toned up than me. He's not the same cute guy I have known. "Johnny! It's you," he smiled

"I-I-" s**t I can't stop the tears. Then suddenly, Steve covered my eyes with his hand and said "Sorry Austin and Reiven but I need to talk to Johnny, alone."

"Oh okay. See you later then," Austin said. Steve quickly pulled me and ran as we end up coming at the garden area of the school. As we both panthed, my legs started to weaken. I stumbled down a bit but luckily, Steve caught me before I fell down. We both sat down on the bench as he pulled me close to him. I leaned on his shoulder and sighed. "Feeling a bit better?" he asked.

I didn't have the courage to answer but I wrapped my arms around him and started trembling once again. I bit my lower lip and try to stop myself from crying. I'm all confused and scared. I don't want to let go of Steve just because I saw Reiven again. But at the same time, I'm confused if I still love Reiven.
