'DING! LOVE METER: 85%'

William was surprised that he almost sprang up from the sofa he was lying down on, he just finished cleaning and a little bit annoyed because Nathan was taking too long. He didn't plan to stay here for an hour but because of the male, he had no choice because the Student Council President needed to stamp the applications he submitted. 

He already texted Daniel about his situation and as usual, the man understood it. He was a little bit relieved that Daniel still accepted him after what happened. Because when Asher got hospitalized he stayed there by the male's side for so long that he didn't get the chance to continue working. 

{ It's been so long since I heard the love meter's voice }

AUTHOR: Come on! Gather yourself, Yang...this is your chance

{Are you comforting me? Don't worry I'm fine}

He hadn't met Asher after that encounter in the hallway the other day, so he was still thinking about why the love meter has increased. Could it be that Asher finally remembered him? Did the male was thinking of him right now? Will Asher rushed towards him after knowing that he couldn't do something back then to save him? Will he be angry at William for abandoning him? Will the things between them stay the same? 

William didn't know, he didn't know if Asher would still accept him despite everything that had happened.

He stood up, trying to fix his polo as he picked up his bag. Nathan was taking too long to arrive, and the boredom was causing him to overthink things. He hated it.

He released a big yawn before walking to the door, but before he could twitch the door knob,a human being embraced him so tight and shrunk his head below his waist and gave him a smack on the head. "Hello my little cute Liam!" Nathan greeted him.

William yanked and pushed Nathan away "Stop joking around, why are you so late?" his eyebrows almost meet in the middle of his nose. 

Nathan made a giggle while rubbing the back of his head "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam a while ago,hehehe" he stated. He hurriedly stepped inside the moment he saw the clean desk and arranged folders. 

"Woah!!! Did you clean the office?!" he asked while circling around the area. He was really glad so in return he decided to tell William a story. "I also had another reason why I'm late" he quickly vanished from his place and popped up beside William "Come on,ask me what is it.." he said with wiggling eyebrows "You will like it, come on...ask me, hurry" he smirked 

William almost bawled his heart out the moment he heard Nathan whisper beside his ears. He quickly jolted in surprise "What's with you today? You seemed weird" he commented. 

Since Nathan was here, he got no business in the office anymore so he exited the door. "I will be going now, I still need to prepare for my part time job" he bids his goodbye.

"I saw Asher today, he was struggling to find his remedial classroom so I guided him, that's why I'm 30 minutes late" Nathan blabbed out continuously with a grin on his cheeks. Although William ignored him, he can tell that the male was intrigued from his story. 

***

Since it was already lunch time, William decided to buy and eat lunch in the School Cafeteria. He got hungry from cleaning the office earlier. Daniel said that he can still start his part time job in the afternoon. 

In the middle of enjoying his lunch, a professor approached him and asked for a favor. The professor forgot to return a book to the library so he asked William to return it for him. 

After going to the library, William was all settled now, ready to leave the School. But it seems like today wasn't his lucky day because while he was passing by the School garden, he saw someone crouching down behind the bench. 

William stopped and observed the male, it seemed like he was hurt. The male was curled down, hugging his legs and his head was buried to his knees. William stepped in front of him, letting his shadow cover the sunlight penetrating through the other male's body.

"What's wrong?" 

The other male jolted in pain, he winced his eyes real hard under his head "M-My h-h-head…Nghh!!" he groaned "It's h-hurting.." he replied with his cracking tone

William crouched down, but right just the moment he sat down, a familiar scent slowly invaded his nostrils. He froze for a while, trying to recall where he smelled it. 

"Do you want me to take you to the School Clinic?" William asked

The other male shook his head and told William that he had his own medicines inside his bag that was on the bench. William stood up to get his bag, but when he turned around he was taken aback by the little force from the hem of his shirt. 

"Stay…" A calm voice told him. The other male was gripping the hem of his polo, he can tell that the male was shaking. 

"Don't leave me…"

A nostalgic memory quickly crawled inside William's system, he recognized his voice. Although the male was behind him, he can tell from the grip who he is. William's heart started to beat rapidly like it was going to burst, he was so nervous. 

The male gripping his shirt lowered his head "I'm fine now, my headache disappeared when you approached me" he mumbled "I'm s-sorry, can y-you stay w-with me for a while?" he was stuttering in embarrassment.

William couldn't move with his widened eyes, he could feel something, like a connection. He released a small gasp the moment he felt another jolt from his chest, it was like he was being electrified. 

The wind blew the leaves from the tree above them, it dances gracefully to the rhythm of the air. William clenched his jaw while the male behind him uttered something "Please stay, Liam"

William instantly turned around, he met Asher's pleading eyes. He grabbed the male and pulled him into his embrace. He didn't know but the moment he felt Asher's warmth, his eyes automatically released some tears. 

"A-Asher…" he mumbled while brushing the male's hair unconsciously " Please don't leave me again"
