"All these people everywhere, but my eyes on you." Unknown
—
The students took notes while the professor explained the lesson projected on the screen, everyone but Eden and Kian. Eden was opening and closing his pen while Kian watched him with confusion. He wondered why his friend was zoning out a lot lately. Kian grew impatient of looking at him repeat the same action, and he scooted closer to him to whisper: "Hey, what's wrong? You've been silent these last two days."
Eden only shrugged without bothering to lift his head and look at his friend. Kian scrunched his brows and snatched the pen away from his hand. "Seriously, if there's anything, you've got to tell me."
Eden let out a deep sigh and finally moved his head a little to look at his friend's concerne
"All the best heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary."Gerard Way—The stranger dragged Leo to a narrow empty street, and the boy didn't stop yelling and asking for help. Harvey followed them, swearing at the man as loud as he could. For once, he regretted not doing some cardio at the gym as he found himself short of breath very soon. But despite his lack of sportiness, Harvey succeeded to reach them and pulled the man's velvet sleeve."Leave him the fuck alone!" he shouted breathlessly."Mr Clarke!" Leo cried, his eyes wide as he recognised his dad's boss. He wanted to go to him, but the man tightened his grip around his wrist."Who the hell are you?!" the stranger, a man in his thirties, glared at Harvey. "What do you want with
"The reason we struggle with insecurities is that we compare our behind the scenes with someone else's highlight reel."Unknown—For the first time in months, Eden waited for Olivia in front of the medical faculty. It had been an eternity since they last walked together after classes. Before, they used to go on dates, but after Leo arrived, it all ended. Eden and Olivia weren't going to the theatre or each lunch somewhere. They planned to head to the hospital after they picked up Leo from school.Eden insisted Olivia visited Harvey to thank him for saving their son from Jack's man. She refused at first, thinking of her upcoming exam as an excuse to escape. Eden cared less about her studies now. The least she could do for their family now is to speak to the man who endangered himself for Leo.
"I desire the things which will destroy me in the end."Sylvia Plath—Few days passed after the incident, and Eden was still taking care of Harvey as he felt indebted to him after saving Leo. He helped clean his wound and dress it every day and night, after his classes and before going back home to sleep.Harvey was getting better and could now walk without having someone to hold his arm. He was relieved as his father was soon coming back from his business trip. He couldn't risk the Chairman seeing him in this state as he would scold him for being such an idiot. Something worse could happen if his father knew about the incident, he could fire Eden.Tonight, Harvey had enough of staying in his room, so he texted his friends to have a drink somewhe
"That feeling when you don't even know what the fuck you're feeling."Unknown—Henry stopped the car in front of the hospital, and Eden got out to open the door for Harvey. The Young Master's face was pale as he was scared unprotected sex would cause him some disease. In the beginning, he and his partner were both protected, but the other guy didn't warn him that the condom broke. Harvey was furious about it.Eden followed him to the reception hall, and as the nurses were expecting his arrival, one of them asked them to accompany her. They took the elevator to head to the sexual health floor."Doctor Smith, your ten am has arrived," the nurse knocked on the door, and soon, the man's deep voice sounded for them to enter.
"I sink into your eyes whenever I'm looking at you."Franz Kafka—Henry didn't stop laughing during the entire ride since he knew the doctor misunderstood Eden for Harvey's partner. He lost it when the bodyguard told him he was forced to take the two tests.Eden didn't dare mention the Collection Room. It wasn't because he was shy about talking of his intimate moments but rather the person he thought about.Harvey believed he thought about Olivia. Little did he know, he was the only one who occupied his mind at that moment.Eden had no idea why Harvey's image and voice surged at that time. He never thought about a man, not even before dating Olivia. He never sat down and thought about his sexuality. Since h
"You can heal broken bones, but you can't heal a broken mind."Dia Reeves—Eden entered his apartment after a long day of work. He was supposed to stay with Harvey, but Tyler told him he could rest with his family. Unlike Eden, Tyler wasn't married and didn't have anyone waiting for him at home. Eden was more than thankful to his friend because he needed to spend some time with Leo. He's been busy lately as he looked after Harvey after the incident. His boss couldn't move his legs for days, and he took care of everything for him."Hey, my boy," he fainted on the couch next to Leo and rested his head on his thigh. "How was school today?"Leo only shrugged and kept watching his cartoons. Eden thought he was mad at him for being absent, and he chuck
"And all of a sudden I felt really tired. Like the world had drained me for everything that I had."Unknown_Eden wakes up early this morning and puts on his sports outfit. He wants to run for an hour before he starts his day. But today, instead of grabbing only his phone and keys. He also takes a white envelope. Harvey didn't forget their conversation at the hospital room and made sure to get him the money he needed to cover this month. The Young Master wished he could pay Eden's entire debt, but his father would know about it as he was in control of all his credit cards. He couldn't risk Eden's position, nor could he provoke another fight with the Chairman.Eden pushes Leo's door slowly and watches him sleep soundly. He sighs, and a sad smile appears on his face. Leo deserves bette
"Won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need."Sam Smith—Eden and Harvey lift their eyebrows and look at Henry with confusion as he was acting strange today. He's usually quiet and composed. Now, he's jamming to a song on the radio while moving his head left and right. And up and down. The music is loud, and they can hear his voice humming the lyrics.Eden looks at Harvey through the rearview mirror to ask him what is going on with him, but his boss is as clueless as him."Uh, Henry?" Eden taps the driver's leg. Henry lowers the music and looks at him with a smile, "Yes? Do you want me to drive you somewhere else?""No, not this. We are
