Blue and Crimson (Valt x Shu)

Chapter 6 - The Training Camp

Heya guys! I do apologize for the long wait! Sometimes, writing chapters like this are really put me under the pressure but thankfully, I got that weight off my shoulders and finished this chapter! Also, I watched the upcoming episodes and my mind was blown to bits when I watched Beyblade Burst Evolution. So cool! Anyways, here's the sixth chapter. Enjoy~

Valt's P.O.V

When we got back to Shu's apartment, I felt him let go of my hand to unlock the front door. It was strange to me but... why is he holding my hand like that? To me, it was very unusual like how Shu didn't notice that his hand was literally attached to mine. I don't think he noticed it yet or... did he do that on purpose!? Why? Didn't he have a girl on his mind or something? He's just a best friend to me, just a boy and I'm a boy too. There is no relationship between us being together especially since we're both boys, it's not going to work!

Once the door opened, Shu stepped inside the apartment and walked to the laundry to drop off the wet beach towels. I heard him telling me to use the bathroom to wash up and leave my swimming trunks at the door so he can throw them in the washing machine. I made my way to the bathroom and took a hot shower since I felt cold from the beach, plus drying myself while wearing my wet trunks gives me the chills. I heard footsteps behind the door guessed it was probably him taking my trunks I left at the door to the washing machine. I washed off the suds from my hair and turned off the taps to shut off the water. I grabbed the towel and dried myself when I heard a knock on the door. 

"Valt, I got your pajamas. Shall I pass it to you?" Shu asked from behind the door.

"Yeah, uh, pass it here," I said, cracking the door a bit and reached my hand out, feeling his hand placing my clothes on mine. "Thanks," I withdraw my hand back with my pajamas and shut the door, hearing Shu's footsteps disappearing off, maybe he's heading to his bedroom to get his clothes after I showered. Once I slipped on my night shorts, I grabbed my headband at the counter and left the bathroom when Shu came walking past me.

"Valt, I made some hamburgers in the kitchen... so why not help yourself?" He insisted.

"You sure with that?" I said.

"Nah, don't worry, I made sure that I have enough for us since you do eat a lot." He gave me a sympathetic smile before closing the bathroom door. I sigh quietly and head to the kitchen where I can see a plate of meat patties along with lettuce, tomatoes, slices of cheese, and bottles of ketchup and mayonnaise. There's a bag of fresh buns next to the breadboard with two plates each. So, I think Shu wants to me to make myself one while I wait for him. 

I approached the counter and began making the hamburger. I grabbed the two pieces of bun from the bag and place the meat patty onto the bread, along with the other ingredients and finishing off with a drizzle of ketchup and bread on top. It looks so good that my mouth started to water if by any chance my saliva spills from the corners of my mouth. I took my plate with my burger and went to sit down at the dining table. Before I opened my mouth to take a bite, I was interrupted when Shu walked in. 

"You good?" He asked, ruffling his wet white hair with his hand.

"Yep, I was just about to take a bite when you walked in," I assured, watching him as he walks over to the counter and makes himself one too. When he finished, he took his plate and sat down at the table. I raised my burger to my mouth and took a bite, relishing the taste of the meat patty. I glance at Shu from across the table, he had a mouthful of food making his cheeks puffed out like chipmunks.

When he caught my stare, he swallowed his food down his throat and said, "Something wrong?"

"Huh?" I snapped out from my trance and averted my eyes from him, "Sorry, I just noticed that... you were deep in thought while you were eating."
