"Are you okay now?"

William handed Asher a glass of water while brushing the male's back, he was totally worried about the male because he suddenly cried.

"Thank you, I'm okay now," Asher stated, turning his gaze to the other side of the room. He was a little bit embarrassed because he wasn't intending to show his soft side to the male. He sniffed "S-Sorry…" he uttered 

{Should I ask him if he remembers something?}

AUTHOR: What do you think?

{Stop answering me with another question! I'm a bit confused here}

AUTHOR: Why are you confused? Asher must be the one confused here

"Are you a part of my past?"

William was stunned, his chest started to feel the jolt of pain. He was stuck with his curled tongue, couldn't think of what to answer. He was stupefied for a minute, completely silent.

Asher saw William's expression so he quickly made an excuse "Sorry, Sorry...That slips again out of my mou---" he was startled when William leaned closer and cupped his cheeks

"What will you do if I am? Will you push me away?" the male asked

Asher's heart began to pump so hard again, making big throbs between his breaths. He was captured by the other male's silvery words when their eyes locked. He gulped the saliva from his throat because that's the only thing he can do right now.

William let go, leaving Asher dumbfounded. He turned around and picked up his sky blue polo from the chair. "Can you go home alone? I have a part time job so I can't stay long…" he then slung his polo across his shoulder.

"Can I think about your question?!" Asher exclaimed 

It made the other male turn to him quickly "Ha?" William blurted out

Asher felt the awkwardness in the atmosphere once more so he lowered his head "I mean, If you're a part of my past, you can help me...I feel like you are not a bad guy after all.." he mumbled while fidgeting his fingers.

William scoffed then he giggled "Okay fine, if that's what you want" he said 

Asher in so much awe, jumped out from his bed unconsciously and hugged the male while exclaiming his thanks. Of course he was a bit shameless because he was hugging William from behind. "Thank you so much! I know you will help me!...It's so hard to live without my memories, I'm struggling everyday..fufufu" he snorted

"He really changed a lot…" William thought to himself. He yanked Asher's arms from his waist and faced him. "Do you want to remember your past that badly?" he asked, leaning a little close to the male

Asher nodded his head vigorously "In fact, I have something.." he pulled out from William's grip and went straight to his bag near the table. He scanned everything inside it and went back to William's stance with a picture in his hands. 

"Look at this…" he handed the picture to the male.

Willian reached for the thing from Asher's hand, without hesitation he took a peek. He was surprised, it was their picture that night when they went out to Asher's private mini park. It was the picture of them, smiling with the fireflies behind them.

"You look like the man next to me in that picture" Asher commented 

Come to think of it, William has changed a lot, not just his physical appearance but also his attitude and character. He wasn't the weak one anymore.

"Am I?" He replied as a joke

"Liam, Are you okay?"

Daniel asked the moment he saw the unexplainable expression drawn on William's face after serving three customers. He wasn't like this a while ago but when Asher entered the cafe and sat in the corner, enough to sight William, his expression changed.

William shrugged his shoulders because every time he accidentally glances at Asher, the male will wave at him like he was surrounded by flowers, so bright and colorful. 

"I feel like I'm being stalked…" he mumbled

Daniel on the other hand, was serving another customer so he quickly glanced at William and whispered "He had missed you a lot, Liam" then he smiled back at his customers.

Yes, he told Asher that he will help but isn't too early for these sudden attachments? He was not ready after all, he can't just sit there in front of Asher and blab out everything. Words without feelings in it are useless. Just like in ordinary romance movies, he wanted to take things slowly. 

William's part time job ended smoothly, although he was a bit nervous because he thought that Asher would leave the cafe when he got bored. Who wouldn't have thought that he will really wait for William to go home?

"This is really a disaster…" William snorted. Brushing his face in dismay, knowing that he had no choice.

And right after he exited the back door for the staffs, a figure quickly hovered around him which made him flinched from surprised "How did you know that I'm going to exit here?" he asked

Asher stopped twirling around and looked at him "It's common, staff are using the exit for staff, What's new about that?" he replied 

William almost twitched his eyes "Fine, Fine" he said while locking the door. Daniel went home first so the key was left to him. "Why did you wait for me? Do you have anything you need?" he asked straight 

"Can you do me a favor?" Asher replied with another question

William glanced at him then he trudged the pathway which made Asher follow him behind. The two walked under the blinking lamp posts with some moths around it.

{Help me, I don't know what to say}

AUTHOR: Isn't it an advantage for you? He wanted some help, a favor actually

{I know, and that favor is making me nervous}

William stopped walking, it caused Asher to bump on his back. The male lightly rubbed his forehead.

"What is it? The favor…" William didn't hesitate to asked 

Asher then took one step and put his arms behind his back, leaning closer to William's face. He smiled and asked. 

"Can I sleep at your house tonight?"
