Silent Amour

“Guys, It's been a while since we spent our time together. why don't we go out tonight and stay in a hotel if it gets late”, Alex Scurtis walks towards the car, which belongs to Eryx, the almighty young master of the Silvester.

“It's a great idea. Isn't it”, His amused tone makes Eryx irritated.

He smiles at Braylon who is sitting next to him silently, squeezing his hands nervously.

He tries hard to tell something to Eryx all the time but always ends up staying silent. It's been one week since they finished their Degree exam for forensic criminology.

They have all been friends for three years.

“Count me in babies”

Revilla jumped suddenly, and Alex almost scared the hell out. The young criminals who study criminology, Don't know how many hearts they are going to steal.

A gust of wind blows and makes the atmosphere more lively.

“Get in the car guys, Today it's our day to enjoy”, Eryx invited them.

Eryx was at the peak of enjoyment. He didn't know how to describe the happiness he was feeling right now. But poor him, he didn't know it was not long until the last one.

“Where are we going”, Finally Braylon speaks.

A soft husky voice makes Eryx's heart flutter for a moment. He has been friends with Braylon for 3 years, Yet these feelings were weird for him to explain.

“Let's go to the hotpot first and the bar and after that, we can take a rest in a nearby hotel or motel. if we want we can go a long drive too”

Eryx lists out his thoughts, and Revilla and Alex are screaming their lungs out. They both are enjoying it.

“When am I going to tell him that I'm leaving this city and going abroad for further studies? I tried hard to tell him but he always refused to hear me out. Tomorrow evening I'm having a flight. The time is so limited. can I make it up”, He has been caught up in his thoughts.

Applying to Abroad University, Braylon has to study for his entrance exam so he has to stay in the university to revise his subject. so he has to go abroad before the expected date.

“Braylon. Why are you staying silent all the way? Man, At least speak something”, Alex shakes his shoulder. This was his first time staying silent. He was a charming, cheerful, and Talkative character.

“He was like that for one week”, Eryx groaned and rolled his eyes.

He wasn't used to his silent character. So it really pissed him off.

When they were halfway to the hotpot, one car crossed them at a high speed, making Eryx irritated by touching his damn ego.

“Fuck”, He yelled at them with foul language and sped up the car as much as he could.

“Eryx. Relax.. don't try to chase after them. we are here for enjoyment”, Braylon touched his hand.

Braylon tried to calm Eryx as much as he could. The only person who can stabilize the mood swings of a young master of Silvester is only Braylon.

The speed of the car decreased. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

They have reached the place of the hotpot. It was crowded and lively around that place. Of course, it will because it was located out of the city with a peaceful environment.

They sit around a simmering pot of soup at the center of the table with various raw ingredients like meat, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and starches.

Braylon was always dazed out with his emotions. They have been friends for more than three years, They are like one soul in two bodies. But it's only for Eryx because the feeling Braylon has for Eryx is not as a friend but as a man.

Yeah, He is a homosexual. He found out too late when he found out the feeling for Eryx. It's hard to hide when his friends are always clingy and doesn't know the meaning of sexual orientation.

His love has always been silent all the time. He doesn't want to shout it out. It will definitely cause big chaos between them.

“Let's dig in”, Alex was excited to taste the foods that were tempting him.

“Stop drooling Man”, Revilla Macbeth chuckles at him while taking the food on her plates. She always didn't miss any chance to make fun of Alex.

That being said, Emptiness was odd. That's how Braylon is feeling right now. If he wants to give up on his master degree, he can. But because of this tiny reason, he can't give up on his dream.

“Eat more, You are skinny as a girl”, Eryx serves him food as Revilla pouts cutely for what he told just now.

“Don't tell me we are skinny, Your darling only the person is skinny. Let's check the weight, I'm damn sure he will be the underweight one”, She starts to fight with Eryx. Alex laughed hard.

“Can you guys please stop fighting? we are here to eat not to fight”, Braylon cools down Eryx. Revilla and Alex, who knows the feelings of Braylon, look at him with worried gaze.

It's been only one hour but it feels like they have been there for too long. With a pleasant and tempting smell of food lingering in their nostrils.

“Eryx, I want to confess to you but I'm afraid that you will hate me after that”, He can't help but be engulfed by the resentment.
