Steven's forehead furrowed with his fists clenched tightly as he walked towards the bus stop. He can feel the presence following him since he left his apartment. And he knew who it was.

With his teeth gritting in annoyance, he faced the person who has been following him. He gave him his deadliest gaze but the young man just smiled back at him.

"Good morning, Steven!" His neighbor greeted cheerfully. "Are you going to work?" He asked as he slowly walked towards him.

But even before the young man could finally get close to him, he quickly raised his left hand and then pointed it at him, causing his neighbor to stop approaching him. "Can you stop following me?" Steven said as he tried to abate the annoyance he's feeling for the young man.

He does not want to make a scene in a public place so as much as he can, he tried to calm himself down.

His neighbor's forehead furrowed as if he did not understand what Steven was saying. Until he shook his head while smiling. "Wait, are you thinking that I am following you?" The young man asked with an amused smile on its lips. "Babe, you better stop assuming." He continued.

Steven's jaw almost dropped and his eyes widened. "Babe?!" He shouted causing them to get people's attention.

He winced when people looked at them, especially him.

He cursed inside his head.

He gave the young man, who is now grinning, his deadliest stare. "What the fuck do you want from me? Was the punch I gave you last night not enough?" He said in an annoyed tone but tries not to get attention again.

Steven could clearly see the bruise on the young man's right cheek when he punched him last night for kissing him before he stormed out of the guy's apartment.

He could not understand why the guy is doing this.

Is he bored? Is he looking for someone to piss off because he wanted to kill time? Or maybe because he finds him easy to deal with? But what the young man's doing is too much. It's way beyond his limit and it's pissing him off.

After giving him a punch last night, he thought that it would be enough to stop him from messing with him. But here he is again and he still follows him.

"Was the punch I gave you not enough? Do you want to taste the power of my punch again? He asked through gritted teeth.

The young man's grin widened even more which made him even more annoyed. His fists clenched tightly.

"Aww. Are you seducing me, babe? Let me just tell you, I am not that patient. I might really TASTE YOU right here and right now."

Steven felt how his hair at the back of his neck stood up. What the young man said just gave him goosebumps!

He can't believe how easy it is for the kid to say such things. Especially since they are still in a public place!

He can feel the stares that the passersby are giving them. And that's when he regretted that he gave the kid his attention. He should have just let him be.

What the hell is he thinking saying those words in this kind of place? Isn't he ashamed?!

He closed his eyes and took a very deep breath. He needs to calm down. There is no point in arguing with him anyway because he's pretty sure that no matter what he says, the kid won't listen to him.

When he opened his eyes again, he met the young man's stares. "Just go home, kid, and don't waste any of your time on me. If you are just looking for someone to mess with, spare me. Because I don't have time for things like this." He said seriously and then turned his back on the young man.

But after taking a few steps, Steven felt the kid following him again.

He faced him again while clenching his fists tightly. The kid is really trying to drain the little patience that he has."Won't you really stop following---"

"Wait! Wait! Hold up!" The kid said while raising both of his hands, stopping Steven from finishing what he was supposed to say. "You've got it all wrong." He then lowered his hands. "I'm not following you, okay? I am heading towards the university where I am attending. It just happened that we're both heading the same way. I am guessing that you're gonna ride a jeepney and so am I." He explained.

Steven turned silent for a minute then he felt his face getting hot with embarrassment. He wanted to speak but he could not form a word.

Damn! Does this mean that I really am just assuming things? But what if he's just making it as an excuse? What if he's really following me? That's right! It's just an excuse! Yes, that's right!

The young man shook his head as he smiled. He seemed to know what he was thinking. "I am telling the truth, okay?" He said, trying to convince him.

But he was still hesitant to believe him. After everything that the kid has done to him, he has a hard time believing him. Who knows what he intends to do to him again.

"You can't fool me, young man ---"

"Yuki."

Steven frowned. "What?" He asked.

The young man smiled. "Yuki. Yuki is my name." He said.

Yuki. Its name sounds like a Japanese name. And it sounds cute. Tho it doesn't suit the owner of the name. Because the young man was too far from being cute.

He moved his messenger bag to his side then he crossed his arms over his chest. "I am not asking for your name. What I'm asking you is to stay away from me. Can't you see? You're being a nuisance. So please, leave me alone." He said while silently praying for the kid to just listen to him.

But it seems like the word 'giving up' is not in the young man's vocabulary.

Because he just grinned and approached him again. "No can do." The young man named Yuki said.

"You know, I am a loyal and good kind of boyfriend. But I can also be a possessive type if I have to. And trust me, you won't like it when I became possessive. Also, whenever I want something or someone, I always try to claim it no matter what it takes. So you better stop avoiding me and just accept me."

There seemed to be a blockage in Steven's throat and he could not speak. He just remained standing and even though Yuki was already close to him and their face was only a few inches away, he still could not speak. He can't even move.

Yuki's eyes and his eyes met.

He can't help but gulp because of the intense emotion he saw in its eyes. "The moment you fucked me, you are already bound to me. And I have no plans to let you go yet." Yuki said seriously.

Yuki smiled at him again then moved a little away from him. He pushed his bag that slung over his shoulder then he started walking. But before Yuki could finally pass him, Yuki tapped his shoulder then whispered, "And before I forget, that man who you were with last night, don't get too close to him. I just wanna let you know that I get jealous easily." He said before finally leaving Steven who was dumbfounded.

Steven was just standing there for almost a minute and when he looked back at the young man, he could no longer see him.

He took a deep breath. It looks like he really has no plans to stop messing with him.
