Chương 12: Depends on who is asking...
"Who is she?" That was the question that greeted Chris as soon as he entered his room that evening. He hadn't expected Sky to be in, so he was a bit surprised to suddenly get a question thrown at him.
He looked at Sky, who was seated on his bed and busy doing God knows what on his laptop. He wasn't even looking at Chris at all. He was surprisingly dressed like he was off the stage and just wearing a large hoodie with the hood covering his hair and a pair of joggers.
"Who is whom?" Chris asked with disinterest as he went to sit on his bed and began to take off his shoes.
"That girl. Seen you twice with her. Didn't take you long, did it?" He asked, his attention still on his laptop.
Seen them twice?
Chris wondered before he remembered the first time he saw Sky in flesh. He had been with Rachel.
Still busy untying his shoes, he looked at Sky as he asked, "Isn't it a bit too early to be jealous?"
Sky's finger stopped moving on the keyboard, and he raised his head to look at Chris before he chuckled lightly. "Nicely played." He said with a nod before he returned to typing.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be out as usual?" Chris asked him as he focused on his other shoe.
"Are you sending me out of my own bedroom?" Sky asked, sparing him a glance.
He shrugged and just stared at him, wondering what he was seriously working on.
"You looked like a saint today." Chris said to distract him and saw Sky's lip arch slightly.
"Maybe I am?"
Chris snorted. "It's difficult to tell if you are acting or just being your true self."
"Which do you think it is?" He asked, smiling. This time he put down his laptop and removed his hood, running his hand through his hair and pushing it to the back carelessly.
"I doubt that was your true self." Chris said with his intense gaze on him.
Okay, maybe he shouldn't be thinking about this, and it wasn't as though he was thinking about it. I mean, even if he didn't like Sky and even if he wasn't interested in guys at all, he would have still been curious about this. And what was he curious about? It was simple. He was yet to decide which of Sky's looks was better. The professional look outside? Or the casual one right now with messy hair? He also wasn't wearing either of his earrings.
Sky's chuckle brought him back to reality, and he frowned at him, wondering what was funny.
"You were checking me out."
Chris snorted. "You fucking wish."
"I don't like you swearing."
"Do I look like I care what you like?"
"You are so stubborn." He sighed in exhaustion.
"Just as much as you are annoying."
"I have never heard I was." Sky said, smiling.
"Well, now you know. And I don't lie." Chris said before laying his back flat on the bed.
"Aren't you going to shower?" Sky asked curiously.
"Why? Too eager to see me nude?" Chris turned to ask him, and that just made Sky laugh.
God, why did he have such a crazy smile?
"How were classes today?"
"Don't talk to me." He snapped at him, making Sky look at him curiously, wondering what he had done.
"I obviously don't want to see you nude. You just seem exhausted. That's why I asked."
"What?"
"Telling you to go shower. In case that's why you are suddenly pissed."
Chris almost laughed. Why was he reading meaning into everything?
Sky suddenly stood up and went to open his wardrobe, where he had his clothes neatly ironed and hung. He took out a shirt and pants before he bent to get his shoes.
Chris's eyes followed every movement and immediately looked away from him from the stupid guy that was trying to tempt him into having stupid thoughts.
His phone began to ring, and he hastily picked it up and saw it was his mother calling. He answered the call as he kept trying not to pay Sky any attention.
"You finally remember you have a son?" He said into the phone.
"I'm so sorry. Work was hectic. But I wanted to talk to you as soon as I was done with the pile of meetings. Your father extends his greetings. He sent you some money. Don't get into character and struggle too much."
"I will be fine. I am fine. School isn't that big of a deal."
"I know. But—"
"No buts, mum. Just trust me."
She sighed in resignation. "Okay. Fine. What about your roommate?"
"He is here."
As soon as he said that, Sky turned to look at him and raised a questioning brow.
"Nice. Let me speak with him." His mother said.
"What? Why?" Chris asked cautiously, sitting up.
"Just to get to know who my son is living with. Or you would prefer I do a background check?" She answered.
"You are so extra sometimes."
"Come on." She urged him.
He sighed before looking at Sky who was still staring at him with his hands folded across his chest.
"My mum wants to speak with you."
"Oh... cool." Sky stretched his hand to receive the phone, and Chris quickly put it on loud speaker so he would hear their conversation.
Sky didn't mind and went to sit on his bed across from Chris as he answered the phone.
"Hello, Mrs. Owen."
"Such a lovely voice. What's your name?" She asked in a delightful tone that made him chuckle.
"Sky Sato."
"And a lovely name too."
"Mum!" Chris said in warning tone that made his mother laugh.
"Please take good care of him. He can be extra sometimes, but don't blame him. He got it from me. You are free to call me anytime to tell on him or if something is going on." The woman said to Sky.
"You don't have to worry too much ma'am. He's in safe hands."
Chris's perverted eyes looked at his hands before he shook his head and looked away.
"That's nice to know. I can tell you are a very charming young man."
Sky laughed. "I don't think so, but I've heard it a couple of times."
Chris rolled his eyes and that just made Sky, who was watching him to grin.
"Haha! I like you already! Do you have a partner?"
"Mum!" This time, Chris was alarmed. He didn't want his mother to slip and say something she isn't supposed to.
"Well... it depends on who is asking." Sky said in a flirty tone that immediately got Chris up on his feet and snatched his phone from Sky and glared at him.
"I'm hanging up." He said into the phone before he pressed the end button.
"Your mother is funner than you." Sky said calmly.
"You aren't ashamed? Flirting with an older woman."
"Why should I be?" He asked with an innocent look.
"Yuck." Chris eyed him before going to fetch his things to bathe.
"I'll be sleeping out tonight." Sky informed him.
