Prologue [Meet Cute]🥰

~THIRD PERSON~

🎶I followed my heart into the fire🎶
🎶Got burned, got broken down by desire🎶
🎶I tried, I tried🎶
🎶But the smoke in my eyes left me blurry🎶
🎶Blurry and blind🎶

🎶I picked all the pieces up off the ground 🎶
🎶Got dirt on my fingers but that's gone now🎶
🎶Got the glue in my hands🎶
🎶And stickin'' to the plan🎶
🎶 Stickin'' to the plan that says I can🎶

🎶Do anything at all🎶
🎶I can do anything at all🎶

🎶This is my kiss goodbye 🎶
🎶You can stand alone and watch me fly 🎶
🎶Cos nothing's keeping me down🎶
🎶Gonna let it all out🎶
🎶Come on and say right now, right now, right now🎶

🎶This is my big 'Hello'🎶
🎶Cos I'm here and never letting go🎶
🎶I can finally see🎶
🎶It's not just a dream🎶
🎶When you set it all free, all free, all free 🎶
🎶You set it all free 🎶

Sang the most sensational voice, hitting ever note perfectly.
Whoever it was had sung their heart out in the empty lab, a full hour to spare before classes resumed once again. There was a fire drill so there were no students in the building. Or so he thought. This was what he loved doing and he was amazing at it.

          ***SCREEEEEEEEE***

came the most startling sound they had heard in the past 15 minutes of silence. They jumped and looked through the window towards the hallways. The classroom was dark as the windows were shut and so no one could see them but they could see everyone. Had anyone been watching?

Hearing a gasp, the singer whipped their head towards the hallway window as a head of blond hair ducked quickly beneath the window sill. There was only one person in the whole school who had hair as perfect and natural as that.

"Eric Manchester Evanson. Head of the school basketball team, class president, head "jock"... " a silky smooth voice called out, emphasis on the word 'jock', "...all-round Mr. Perfect and the gayest shit in the whole of Seaview. Get that sexy little piece of boy ass in here right now." There was a 30 second long pause before the door opened and a blushing, face-down Eric walked in, his fingers clamped together. The door swung shut.

"Am I so hideous that you won't look at me?" the voice asked, feigning solemnity. A gasp followed immediately after, and a pair of the most beautiful and mesmerizing, shiny aqua blue eyes they had ever seen stared up at them in utter shock. "Oh my God! N-no, no, you're not hideous. I was just... you... I... you're beautiful." the last words came out as a whisper but he barely heard it.

They were lost in a world of their own. Eric's eyes had put them in a trance and all that could be done was just staring. Eric blushed and tried to look away. Before he knew it, he was being held to the wall, a pair of hands holding his above his head. Him. Why did have to be fucking him. He felt like he was going to die. His breath hitched and his face went fire truck red. Dear God!

~ERIC~

Oh God no! How did I get my ass into this mess in the first place? Now, I was pinned against the wall, my hands above my head and my face as red as fuck and all my stupid head could think of was how he smelled like a goddamn fruit bouquet. What the fuck?!
