SWORD FIGHT | 07
After making their deal, June and Ian were making their way to the class together when a poster in the notice board caught June's attention.
"Ian!" he excitedly called and pulled Ian by his uniform.
Ian stopped walking and turned behind to look at June who was grinning widely and pointing at bright poster.
Ian frowned but leaned towards to read the poster.
To celebrate the pride month, the drama club is going to host a drama.
It is of a forbidden love between two Lords who disguise themselves as suitor for a lady, only to get closer to each other.
Where civil blood makes, civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal lions of these two foes. A pair of star cross'd lovers are born.
Will Romeo and Jayden make it?
Audition will take place this Friday!
Ian scoffed, "Sounds like a even lousier version of Romeo and Juliet."
"Don't say that!" June argued. He grinned at Ian, "Let's take part!"
Ian looked June like he grew another head.
"No."
June pouted.
"Chicken," he muttered.
Ian frowned, "What?"
"You are a chicken. You are chickening out from the play," June said.
Ian shook his head, "No, I just-"
"Bwak," June clucked.
Ian blinked blankly at him before he realized what June was doing.
"Are you serious?" Ian gritted as he glanced around, students were walking through the hallways. Thankfully, no one had witness what was going between him and June.
"Bwaaak", June continued but louder, few students gave him weird looks but June was grinning widely and looking at Ian. He wiggled his eyebrows at him.
Ian let out a silent groan.
"Bwak bwak bwak", June continued, he placed his arms on his hips and began to flap them back and forth, "Bwak Bwak bwaaak!"
"Stop do-"
"Bwak," he clucked on. June began to move his head to and fro in a fast motion, imitating a chicken's head movement.
"Ju-"
"I say a bwak bwak bwakity bwak say bwak bwak bwakity bwak", June began to sing in an annoying tune, seemingly enjoying herself. Students were giving them weird looks as they passed. However, June continued to cluck whereas Ian face palm himself.
"Chickens don't sound like-"
"Bwak bwak bwak", June continued.
"Fine!" Ian hissed angrily, "I will take part in the play! Just stop those horrible sound!"
June grinned, as he put down his arms, "I promise you will have a lot of fun."
Ian doubted it.

Friday rolled faster than Ian liked. After classes were over June practically dragged Ian to the audition hall.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of students buzzing around the large room. Most of them were boys who were groaning.
"My girlfriend blackmailed me to this! Why does she even want to see me with another GUY?!"
"True. My sister threatened me to take part in the play."
Each of them were either forced or blackmailed to come in the audition. June giggled at the thought.
Most of the audience were girls buzzing around excitedly as they held their phones up and talked among themselves.
Ian who was reading his script frowned, when he read his character's lines.
"What is this bullshit?" he muttered under his breath as he read his script, "I am just trying to graduate!" he groaned.
Ian nearly had a nose bleed when he was reading the script. June had suggested, he should try for the role of Romeo whereas June will try for the role of Jayden. The scene between them had nothing mature but it was intimate in other ways.
Pulling Jayden in his arm. Kneeling in front of him begging him not to go. Cupping Jayden's face and speak the most cheesiest line in old English.
What did Ian got himself into?
Just as he let out another sigh, June poked Ian's back.
Ian glared at June who grinned widely at him and said, "I want to tell you something!"
"What?" He asked with a tired sigh.
June cleared his throat as he straighten his back and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Shall I compareth thou to a plant?"
Ian cringed at the cheesy line, "What plant?" He asked.
June bowed deeply and in a very dramatic and exaggerate way, he answered.
"The evergreen cactus, of course."
"You will tell me even if I said no," Ian muttered, "Go on."
June grinned at him.
"Thou art prickly as hell," June answered with another deep bow.
Ian blinked.
"D...did you just called me prickly?" Ian muttered.
June let out a loud laugh, "I was practicing my lines but then I created my own line for you!" He again let out another loud laugh.
Ian watched a double bend laughing June with a blank look before letting a small smile tug his lips.
Well, it was funny.

"Let me try it," Ian said.
June grinned and nodded.
Ian cleared his throat, "Shall I compareth thou to an insect?"
June smiled widely, "My my my, I am flattered, is it the beautiful and elegant butterfly?"
Ian shook his head, "'arid not milady, it's a housefly."
June's smile dropped.
Ian smirked, "Thou art buggy as hell."
June scoffed at Ian's line.
"I am not buggy!" He defended.
June rolled the script in his hand and pointed at Ian like a sword, "Perparth thyself for agony, canker blossom," he said, in the same dramatic voice.
Ian let out a low chuckle, as he too rolled his script and held it up like a sword, "Not to toot my own horn but me have to warn you, I am one of the best swordsman."
June smirked, "We will see."
They indulged themselves in a fake sword fight unaware of the gazes on them.
Ian was having a good time. He smiled, as June spun dramatically and tried to stab him with his "sword".
June was right.
Ian had fun.
They soon finished, no one won but both of them had wide smiles on their faces.
"My Lord, I guess we are both are the best swordsmen," June said.
Ian nodded, "I agree."
They broke away from each other's gaze when a chorus of applause took place.
A girl with bright red hair came towards them. She grinned widely at them like she was a hungry wolf and Ian and June were two defenceless rabbits.
"We found our power couples!" She declared in a excited squeal.
"What?"
The red haired girl grinned at both of them.
"I am Riley the leader of the drama club," she stretched her hands out to shake. Ian who was too consumed by her previous statement was not fast enough to raise his hand. Instead, June grasped Riley's hand and grinned at her.
"I am June and he is Ian."
Riley's smile never seemed to drop as she shook June's hand and said.
"We observed you two from afar and realized you two have a good relationship. Congratulations, in taking the roles!"
Riley was a fujoshi who was quick to detect June and Ian. She immediately knew these two would make a great couple.
"What roles?" Ian asked.
"The main roles of course!" Riley said, "You are going to be Romeo and June is going to be Jayden."
Before Ian could protest or do anything, Riley reminded them the time for practice and turned around swiftly while writing their name in her clipboard.
What just happened? Ian thought.
However, June smiled happily up at Ian. And hugged him.
"Yay! We got the role!"
June's hazel eyes seemed warmer somehow. He smiled widely and Ian had the sudden urge to run his hand through those fluffy hair.
And he did.
His slender fingers made a four way part at the side of June's head as he smiled down at him.
"Hmm," Ian hummed, "We got the roles."
June who was surprised by the sudden contact gulped as he looked up at Ian.
Ian's dark eyes somehow didn't looked empty and the messy curls that fell over his forehead made him looked even more softer and warmer.
Both of them were unaware how the other reacted but their reactions were the same.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
They shared a moment
