Ken:
Sige lang.
Gusto mo talaga ng violence?
Go.

Paulo:
Sus, bano ka lang eh.

Ken:

Pakita mo angas mo!

Paulo:
Mukha kang tanga.
Go touch some grass, boy.

Ken:
Ah gan'on?
Sasampalin na talaga kita.
Sabunutan pa kita.
Kainis ka talaga.
Huwag lang kitang makitang pakalat-kalat.

One eternity later...

KEN saw Paulo inside a clothing store. He smirked before trailing like a mad creep behind the said man. When he saw him go through the fitting room, he immediately rushed towards him, slammed him inside and locked the door.

"K-Ken?"

"Oh, ba't ka takot?" he started as he pinned him against the wall.

"Sira ulo! You really go this far? Stalker ka ba?" Then Paulo regained his sassiness, not even bothered that Ken's too close to him.

Ken smirked as he get closer and closer. "Stalker agad? Hindi ba pwedeng nakita lang kita?"

"Sus, you just missed me." Paulo rolled his eyes in annoyance.

He glared at him before he let him go. "E-Eh kung dukutin ko kaya iyang mata mo? Kung makairap, wagas. Ito lang ang masasabi ko sa'yo, hindi ka maganda. Hindi ka rin gwapo. Kapal ng mukha nito. Hindi ka ka-miss-miss ano. Bakit, sino ka ba?"

Paulo shrugged, a little bit hurt but he still keep his cool. "Fine. But can you please go? I have to try this shirt first. I don't know what's your intention para i-lock mo ang sarili mo rito kasama ako but it's not my concern anymore. Now, shooooo! Chop, chop!"

But when Ken didn't move, the frustrated Paulo turned his back with a stomped. He then proceeded to discard his shirt. Ken on the other hand widened his eyes before turning on his heels.

"Hoy! Are you seducing me?"

This had Paulo burst out in anger. "Aba'y sira ulo ka nga talaga. Ano'ng akala mo sa akin, cheap? Why would I even do that eh wala na nga tayo, 'di ba? Mag-isip ka nga!"

"Eh bakit ka naghuhubad sa harapan ko?"

"I asked you nicely to go. You didn't move. Isa pa, don't act like it's the first time you saw me shirtless. You're not that innocent, Ken."

"Sorry..."

Rolling his eyes, he pushed him. "Okay na. I'm decent. And please move. I'm in a hurry."

Ken watches the love of his life walks away from him. He's about to go too but when he saw Paulo's purse still hanging on the fitting room, he grabbed it and tried to catch up to him.

"Pau—"

"What?"

"Sungit. Eh iaabot ko lang ito eh. Naiwan mo bag mo." He scratched his nape.

"Thanks!"

"Thanks daw pero pasinghal."

"Alam mo, umuwi ka na lang. Wala akong panahon sa—"

"Gusto mo kape? Libre ko."

"Ah, excuse me, Sir. Kukunin niyo po ba?" a sales lady interrupted, referring to the shirt that Paulo handpicked.

"Ah, yes. Including this cap, thanks," Paulo smiled.

"Ah, here po. Take my card. It's on me." Ken immediately handed her his card.

Paulo panicked. "Ah—"

"Okay po, Sir." Then the lady exited.

He knows Paulo is staring directly at him. "What?"

"Anong trip mo?"

"Sungit. Trip ko? Iuwi ka na. Ang boring ng bahay. Ako lang mag-isa. Miss na kita. Kahit awayin mo pa ako araw-araw, wala akong pakialam."

"You wish!"

"Uyyyy, sige na naman. Uwi ka na. Promise, kapag uuwi ka na, hindi na ako mag-uuwi ng babae sa bahay—"

"What?" Now, Paulo's face is all but red. He can see his knuckles turned white. He swallowed.

"Joke lang eh. Uy, love. Joke lang." Now, he got another problem. It was supposed to be a joke. As if he likes doing shenanigans if it's not with Paulo.

"Nag-boyfriend ka pa, may boobs din pala ang gusto mo? Hayop ka talaga!" If only Paulo's that scandalous, he would've attacked Ken in the face right at this moment.

"Love naman, joke lang talaga iyon. Kontento kaya ako sa'yo. Kaya nga umuwi ka na. Paano ako mabubuhay kung wala ka?"

"Nabuhay ka na no'ng wala pa ako. Pakialam ko sa'yo ngayon? Do'n ka sa mga babae mo!" Now, the poor man wanted to cry.

In the coffee shop...

"PAU..."

Ken's voice is too soft, looking at Paulo's red button nose and puffy eyes. Somehow, he felt guilty. Paulo must have taken it seriously and again, he hurt him unintentionally. Knowing he's a Virgo, he's only making this hard for him. He needs to assure him or else, having Paulo back will be turn to impossible.

"Sorry." He reaches for his man's hands, squeezing it.

"Cheater!" It's faint but with conviction.

"I'm not—"

"Hindi ba uso sa'yo ang three-month rule? Wala pa ngang 1 month ang break-up natin, may iba ka na?"

"Pau, nagkamali ako. It was supposed to be a joke. I didn't know you will take it seriously. Isa pa, sa tagal na natin, you should've known kung ano ba talaga ang gusto ko."

Paulo didn't speak, he just sniffed as he looked away. "Love, come home. Please? Ikaw lang naman ang gusto ko. Our home isn't a home anymore without you. And I swear to gods and goddesses above, wala akong iniuwing iba."

"You still have CCTV access sa bahay. I guess for now, iyan lang muna ang assurance ko. Ba't naman ako mag-uuwi ng iba eh ikaw ang gusto kong iuwi?"

This time, his lovely man looked at him but he knows doubts are still swimming in his eyes. He smiled at Paulo, draw his hands towards his mouth and kissed it.

"I will never taint our home when every corner of it smells like you. You are my home. Come home. Come home to me. The bed is colder without you. The kitchen is empty without you. The studio is nothing without you. I am nothing without you."

"Ang drama mo. Yuck! Ewww!" Then his jaw dropped. "It doesn't sounds like you."

"What? Pau naman, ilang dekada ko iyang pinag-isipan!" he groaned in frustration.

"Corny naman kasi talaga. Never knew you're this poetic. Ah, magsusulat ako ng kanta about you being so whipped to me."

He squinted his eyes. "Now, I don't know if magiging masaya ba ako or what."

Paulo smirked. "What does it feel being head over heels to me, Felip Jhon?"

He gritted his teeth. "Yeah, whatever. But it would make me want to grow old with you. I mean, for real. So please come home. Nagmamakaawa na ako, mahal."

Paulo laugh a little, sipping his coffee. "I hate that I cried when you said that."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too."

"For what?"

"For being a handful. For being a brat."

"You're always sassy. I like that. You're my brat, and so?"

Paulo smiles, "Ah, you're my everything."

Ken's ears tingles. "So you're coming home?"

"No."

"Pau... please?"

"Pwede naman tayong magbalikan pero doon na ako sa condo ko—"

"Fine, pakasalan mo na lang ako."

Paulo laughed again. "You're silly, Ken-Ken. We're both taboo for them. We don't deserve happiness because we both have... you know—balls?"

Ken rolled his eyes. "At least I have the balls na panindigan ka. I'm marrying you kahit manigas pa sila sa galit at pamumuna. Ikaw naman ang makakasama ko, hindi sila. I don't think their opinions matters when it comes to our happiness."

Paulo could only smile bitterly. "Then... take me away. Away from here. Ayoko rito."

Ken smiled, kissing his hands. "I will. Pupunta tayo sa malayo. Doon sa mga walang nakakakilala sa atin. We will be happy there."

Paulo just nods, looking at Ken's affectionate smile. How he wished the world would finally see the stars or maybe the stars would align for them, just this once.

End Notes: First and foremost, ANO ITO? Hahahaha ang inconsistent ng voice ng entry na ito kasi crack ito tas biglang naging seryoso. Ang layo ng itinalon niya. Sana maintindihan niyo na minsan, tigang lang ang writer ng Nah, Just SeKen. Sa kagustuhan niya kasing buhayin ang patay na lupa ng SeKen, gumagawa na lang ng iba't-ibang senaryo sa utak. Lol, sariling sikap sa paglalayag ng ship? Huhu pagpasensyahan niyo na kung karamihan sa laman nito mga walang sense. Try kong gumawa ng may sense pero sa full au na ng SeJosh ay este SeKen pala.
