Chips

It all started with common interests. The same movie. Kai came up from behind and startled Chips. He almost punched the guy in the face. Then a conversation started. Chips didn't like people. But Kai attracted him. Not because of his looks, but because of his simplicity. Yes, Kai's name was "Prince," and yes, he was incredibly handsome, but he didn't brag about it. That's what hooked Chips. Or maybe it was Kai's smile? Or his manner of speech? Chips doesn't know himself. He just wanted to be around this guy.
But Chips is already in love... In love with his childhood friend and can no longer remain silent. That night, or rather in the evening, Chips and Van were swinging on the swings in the park. The boy was nervous. Van was chatting about nothing.

• You're a girl, Kell, why is she clinging to Kai...?
  Chips fired
• Van!
• Hello? I don't think I'm deaf.
• A.. I'm sorry.. I.. I.. I love you..
  Van froze. Chips sat with his eyes closed and waited.
• And how long ago?
• Since the eighth grade.
  Van froze for another second.
• Oh... Chips, I'm a pony and your feelings are not mutual... Let's stay friends?
  Chips froze and nodded, smiling.
• It even became easier... Okay, see you tomorrow!
  Van nodded, waved, and went home. Chips also returned home and went to his room to sleep. Once there, the boy burst into tears. A thought flashed through his mind: "Why does it hurt so much? "
  They didn't win the next game. That evening, Chips remembered that he'd promised Kai to meet him at 5:30... But it was already 8:40... Naturally, Kai wasn't there. Chips went home upset.
  That day, Kai wanted to confess his feelings to Chips. He arrived early, but the boy didn't show up. Then Kai walked into the hall and saw Van holding Chips's hand. Kai left. At Mimi's, he burst into tears.
  Recently, Chips got sick, and Kai, worried about it, came to visit his friend. Van came too. Kai wasn't angry with Van. While Van and Bon were playing video games, Kai went into Chips's room to check on him. He had a fever and was quite high. Kai sat on the floor by the bed and buried his nose in the blanket. "It's all my fault..." Chips woke up and reached for his medication, but he lost his balance and fell on top of Kai. They almost kissed.
  It seems Chips is confused...
