🖤 Chapter: Too Close… Then Not
Jayjay's POV
The living room is loud again.
---
Ciel and Jare arguing.
Aries laughing.
Mama trying to control everyone.
---
Normal.
---
I walk in slowly.
---
And this time—
I don't overthink it.
---
I sit next to him.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
She chose to sit beside me.
---
Not away.
---
Beside.
---
So I don't hesitate.
---
I pull my chair closer.
Too close.
---
"…there's space there," she says softly.
---
"I know," I reply.
---
And stay.
---
Our arms touch.
---
She goes still.
"Why are you glued to her?" Jare asks.
---
"He's not even trying to hide it," Ciel laughs.
---
"She can't breathe," Aries adds.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"She's fine."
---
And before she can move—
I pull her into my lap.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…Keifer—!"
---
My voice drops instantly.
---
Everyone's staring.
"BRO???" Jare shouts.
---
Ciel claps.
---
Aries is dying laughing.
---
Mama shakes her head.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I hide in his shoulder.
---
"…put me down," I whisper.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"No."
---
Simple.
---
I adjust her slightly.
---
Comfortable.
---
Like it's natural.
---
"Well… that's new," Lia says lightly.
---
I glance at her.
---
She smiles.
---
"…you didn't use to be this clingy."
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"…people change," I reply.
---
She laughs softly.
---
"Clearly."
---
Lia sits closer.
---
Not too much.
---
But enough.
---
"…remember when you wouldn't even let anyone sit next to you?" she says.
---
I huff slightly.
"…don't start."
---
She nudges my arm.
---
"I'm serious—you were impossible."
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I stay quiet.
---
Still in his lap.
---
But now—
they're talking.
---
Easily.
---
Comfortably.
---
Like I'm not even here.
---
"Yeah, he only listened to Lia back then," Jare adds.
---
"She was the only one he didn't ignore," Ciel says.
---
Lia grins.
---
"I still am."
---
Everyone laughs.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
My grip loosens slightly.
---
Not on purpose.
---
Just…
---
something shifts.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
I laugh too.
---
Without thinking.
---
It's familiar.
---
Easy.
---
And that's when—
---
she moves.
---
Slightly.
---
Trying to get off my lap.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…I'll just sit there," I mumble.
---
Not looking at him.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"…why?" I ask.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…it's fine."
---
I slide off.
---
Before he stops me.
---
The conversation continues.
---
Laughter.
---
Voices.
---
But I sit a little away now.
---
Quiet.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
I notice.
---
But not fully.
---
Not enough to understand.
---
So I turn back—
---
and Lia says something again.
---
I respond.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I watch them.
---
Not angry.
---
Not upset.
---
Just…
---
thinking.
---
Lia
She glances at Jay for a second.
---
Then back at Keifer.
---
Still smiling.
---
Still talking.
The room stays loud.
---
But I feel quiet.
---
Like I stepped out of something—
---
without anyone noticing.
---
And maybe—
---
that's what hurts.
---
---
🖤 Chapter: Don't Cry Alone
Jayjay's POV
It's late.
---
Too late.
---
The room is dark.
---
But I'm not asleep.
---
I can't be.
The clock ticks softly.
---
And beside me—
---
Keifer.
---
Asleep.
---
Peaceful.
---
Like nothing's wrong.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I turn away slowly.
---
Careful not to wake him.
---
But it's already there.
---
That feeling.
---
Sitting heavy in my chest.
---
I press my hand against my mouth.
---
Trying—
---
so hard—
---
to stay quiet.
---
But my shoulders shake slightly.
---
A tear slips out.
---
Then another.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…why am I like this…" I whisper.
---
Barely a sound.
---
"…why does it hurt like this…"
---
I wipe my face quickly.
---
But it doesn't stop.
Keifer's POV
Something feels wrong.
---
I open my eyes slowly.
---
And then—
---
I see her.
She's sitting up.
---
Back turned slightly.
---
Trying to stay quiet.
---
But shaking.
---
Crying.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
My chest drops.
---
"…Jay," I whisper.
---
She freezes.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I didn't want him to see.
---
Not like this.
---
So I wipe my face quickly.
---
"…go back to sleep," I say softly.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
No.
---
I sit up immediately.
---
Move closer.
---
"…don't do that," I say.
I get off the bed.
---
And kneel in front of her.
---
At her level.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…you don't have to—" I start.
---
But my voice breaks.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
That's it.
---
I pull her into me.
---
Tight.
---
One hand at the back of her head.
The other around her shoulders.
---
"…I'm sorry," I whisper.
---
Again.
---
"…I'm so sorry."
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I don't hold back this time.
---
I cry into him.
---
Quiet.
---
But fully.
---
"I didn't see it," he says.
---
"…I didn't realize I was hurting you."
---
His voice isn't steady.
---
"…but I did."
---
Pause.
---
"…and I hate that I did."
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…you looked so happy," I whisper.
---
That one line—
---
holds everything.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
I close my eyes.
---
Because that's what broke her.
---
"…I wasn't happy without you," I say softly.
---
I pull back slightly.
---
Just enough to look at her.
---
"I don't love her."
---
Clear.
---
No hesitation.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
I freeze slightly.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"I never did," I continue.
---
"…and I never will."
---
My hand moves to her face.
---
Wiping her tears gently.
---
"…it's you."
---
Softer now—
---
"…it's always been you."
---
I lean forward.
---
Press a soft kiss to her forehead.
---
Holding it there for a second longer.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
My hands clutch his shirt.
---
Still trembling.
---
But slower now.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"…don't cry alone," I whisper.
---
"…not when I'm right here."
I sit back on the bed.
---
Pull her with me.
---
She doesn't resist.
---
She curls into me.
---
Like before.
But tighter.
---
🖤 Jayjay's POV
"…stay," I whisper.
---
🖤 Keifer's POV
"I'm not going anywhere."
---
I wrap my arms around her fully.
---
Holding her close.
---
Like I should have earlier.
Her breathing slowly steadies.
---
Her grip softens.
---
But she doesn't let go.
---
And I don't make her.
---
Because this time—
---
I understand.
---
She wasn't asking for much.
---
Just—
---
to be seen.
