Stress-Eating

                                    

                                          
Just Paulo having an emotional crisis and in his stress-eating phase...
Ken: *at the dining table* *drinking coffee while reading a comic book*
Paulo: *walks out of their room* *goes to the kitchen*
Ken: *looks up* *smiles*
Paulo: *kisses Ken's temple*
Paulo: *opened the fridge* *pulled out his favorite ice cream* *goes back to their room*
10 minutes later...
Paulo: *walks out from their room* *kisses Ken again* *get some food from the fridge* *goes back to their room*
Ken: *nakatanga*
Ken: *smiles tightly*
Ken: He's not talking na naman. I hope he's fine. I'm freaking worried.
5 minutes later...
Paulo walks out again and same scenario happened; go to the kitchen, kisses his boyfriend, and open the fridge, takes out a particular food that he likes and it happened again twice before the last one that had Paulo cried in frustration.
Paulo: Argh! Hindi ko na kaya!
Ken: *looks up from his comic book* Love?
Paulo: Ayoko na ng long distance relationship!
Ken: Long—what?
Paulo: You heard me, right?
Ken: *frowning* *puts down his comic book* *a bit confused* *a little hurt*
Paulo: *sniffing*
Ken: Pinagsasabi mong long distance relationship, Nase? Magkasama tayo sa iisang bahay!
Paulo: ...
Ken: Is that why you're not talking to me? Is that why problematic ka?
Paulo: Ahhhh... ewan! I said what I said.
Ken: You better explain this well bago kita sunggaban diyan.
Paulo: *pouts* Huwag mo nga akong landiin.
Ken: I'm serious, Paulo -___-
Paulo: *sighs* *points at the fridge*
Ken: What?
Paulo: Dalhin natin iyan sa kuwarto... *in his soft raspy voice with his doe eyes*
Ken: *stares unbelievably at him*
Ken: What?
Paulo: Nakakapagod iyong pabalik-balik ako rito sa kusina. Don't get me wrong. Hindi ako napapagod halikan ka. Pagod lang ako na malayo ang fridge. Gusto ko lang mahiga sa kama all day.
Ken: *relaxes* *chuckles*
Paulo: Don't laugh at me!
Ken: Halika nga rito... *tinapik ang hita*
Paulo: *walks towards him* Bakit?
Ken: *pulled his man on his lap* What happened to you? Grabeng stress-eating naman yata iyan, mahal.
Paulo: Huwag mo akong inaasar!
Ken: Ako na lang ang kainin mo. Masarap naman ako.
Paulo: G-Gago ka talaga!
Ken: Uyyyy. He's blushing...
Paulo: Whatever!
Ken: Okay ka na?
Paulo: Hindi ko alam. *nuzzles himself into Ken's chest*
Ken: I hope you are. But I'm glad you're finally talking to me.
Paulo: Sorry. Am I too mean?
Ken: Nope. You're too sweet. Kanina ka pa halik nang halik. Not that I'm complaining but I want you to bring your frustrations out if mayroon man.
Paulo: I dunno, love. I'm just tired all of a sudden. I feel so drained. Burnout. Hindi ko na alam ang iisipin. I just wanted to be lazy and eat all day.
Ken: It's okay, mahal ko. Always know na nandito lang ako, okay? If you're comfortable na, tell me how you really feel and what's the matter.
Paulo: *nodding* Love you.
Ken: Mas mahal kita.
Paulo: *tearing up* *purrs into his man's gentle touch*
Ken: *sings to him*
