coloured out the line, i came to find, my fire was fate with you.
—honey, kehlani

another week went by and here eric is, on his knees holding his stomach that hurts like hell.

same place, same time, same bruises but this time the girl brought a guy.

tears flowed down his face due to the hit. "i gave you so many warning eric" she looks down to him with disgust. she crouch down and was about to hit him in the face but a voice stopped her.

"hey!"

they turned to the voice and saw the president student council. the figure walk to them and push her away from eric. the guy wanted to land a punch on him due to the disturbance but the girl stopped him.

"you cant hurt him!" she shouts fear in her voice. "you cant hurt jaemin..." everyone knows not to mess with jaemin. even without his boyfriends help, jaemin is already tough.

"what the fuck were you thinking alice" jaemin was in pure rage. the girl stood up, looking down not daring to look at him in the eyes. "run before i get even more mad"

with that the girl ran bringing the guy with her. when eric cough jaemin's turn his gaze to him.
"oh my gosh are you okay?"

"wait thats a dumb question, here let me help you" eric's eyes lands on the boy as he helped eric to stand up. "thank you" jaemin wrapped a hand around his wrist, letting eric's arm land aroung his shoulder.

"you're welcome, but why was she like that?" jaemin ask and eric shrugged. "can we just go to the toilet?"
"what? no! lets go to the—"
"please"
"fine but from now on im gonna be your friend okay?"

a friend.

he didnt even knew, how lonely he has been after the mention of becoming his friend. he showed jaemin his smile. "friends, yeah i would like that"

🗝

"jaemin, i can walk"
"are you sure?"
"yeah but what are we doing here?"

they were at the cafeteria. "you're my friend now eric, so i have to introduce you to my friends" jaemin beamed.

he really is scary. from raging fire to soft marshmallows. scary.

"there you are!"

the marshmallow grabs eric's hand and jog to his friends. eric's eyes went wide when he saw sunwoo. wait, jaemin's boyfriend is jeno, jeno is friends with sunwoo. ah shit, he cursed under his breath.

"guys this is my new friend! eric this is everyone" they showed eric a warm smile before gesturing him to seat next to yoonji. "hello" he says quitely as he felt sunwoo's eyes on him.

"are you okay? you were limping when you walk here" eunhan ask worried lingers the way he talk. "yeah my ankle got twisted on the way here"

jaemin and him exchanges looks. jaemin let out a heavy sigh, slipping between jeno and sunwoo. they spent 10 minutes in the bathroom while eric force jaemin to never tell anyone what he witness causing jaemin to be more worried.
"move sunwoo, i want to seat next to my boyfriend"

sunwoo groans moving the side giving him space as he was now sat infront of a shy eric. he wanted to smile but looking at eric his heart hurts.

"here drink this" sunwoo push his banana milk towards eric. "no—no its oka—" eyes now locked on each other. eric took the it and drinks, feeling his heart soften.

meanwhile, yoonji nudged hyunjin. "did you see that?" hyunjin look at him with playfull disgust. "ofcourse i did yoon"

"he never gave us his banana milk" jeno says and the two nods feeling unfair. while eunhan and jaemin look at each other and smirk.

sunwoo stood up on his feet and his friends just look at him. "ill be right back" he says looking at them then a glance to eric. his cheeks felt hot.

as he waits for sunwoo to come back, he listens to the others rambling about their day. but then he heard muffled whispers from behind and when he turned, people were staring at him.

why would the loner hangs out with them?

he doesnt like the negative attention going to him. so he stood up and just wants to walk away and maybe eat at the bathroom ao no one can find him. however something cold on his cheeks stop him from that plan, looking to the side he saw sunwoo with foods on the other hand. eyes telling him to sit back down and he did. like an obedient little puppy.

"here eat this" the older place the foods and drinks he bought infront of eric then walk back to his seat. the puppy whispered a small thank you.

"eric where do you think you're going?" the girl beside him threw her hand around his shoulder bringing him closer. "you're stuck with us now"

"you're one of the losers now"

everyone on the table looked at him with welcoming smiles. sunwoo watches his reaction as he bites back his smile.

cute. he muttered.

🗝

they were once again in a car but this time in eric's. they layed on the uncomfortable back seat, with sunwoo's head under his lovers shirt hugging his waist while eric played with the raven locks.

"hey, should i be more cooler now since im stuck with you?" he asked. now feeling kisses on his chest and tummy making him giggles. never did that sound fails to make sunwoo's day better.

after a while sunwoo stopped, bringing eric closer to him— if that even possible. "you dont need to do anything eric, just be you, hm?" sunwoo says, getting out of the shirt.

eric followed his actions sitting infront of him. "come here," sunwoo pulled him close, placing his lips where it felt right to him.

pulling back, sunwoo stuck his forehead with erics while eyes on him. "i like you so much" eric smiles. "i know and i like you too" he attaches their lips once again as the moved in sync.

hands snaked their way around the older's neck. the space that used to be there between them was long forgotten.
