He woke up, panting from a terrible nightmare he had after barely falling asleep from sleep deprivation which he had after at least 3 sleepless nights.

His sweat stick to his skin and make him feel uncomfortable in his clothes, as they were sticked to his body too. His eyes were looking all over his room, searching for something or someone, but they couldn't find them.

The darkness of his room made him feel calmer, when he realised it wasn't day time, he wasn't there were he was in his dream. However, the silence of the house made him feel uneasy enough to make him throw off the blanket of himself and put on a hoodie on his long sleeved black T-shirt and sweatpants.

He inhaled the scent. It was Jun's hoodie. The tears in his eyes that appeared after he woke up ran down his slim cheeks, the feeling of wanting to run away took over his mind. He complied to what his heart and mind wanted from him and climbed out of his window, quietly shutting it after putting on a random pair of sneakers.

The fresh air cut through his lungs, and he began to run towards the one place he liked to be at the most for two months now.

Junhui...

" Fuck " he panted, his body couldn't take the physical movements well after his low food and water intake. It was a miracle he didn't collapse yet, but guess it was yet to come.

He stopped in front of the name he loved the most but was the most painful three syllable he had to say for the last two months.

Wen Junhui...

" Ge " he dropped to the ground, his throat thickening, the lump in it growing, while the tears just came out from nowhere, not stopping.

His shaking hands made their way to his face, slowly trying to dry the tears off his face, in an attempt to make him calmer, but it didn't work at all.

The pain was too much to take in, his mind was going at a full speed, his thoughts all over the place, images of the older, memories and flashbacks, his nightmare coming back at him all at once, making him overwhelmed and weak. The night breeze making his hair even messier, just the way Jun used to mess up his hair early in the morning as the first thing he did when he saw the younger just to make him made, since he always said that Minghao looked cute when angry.

His hoodie hanging on his frame, making him look tinier than he is, was not warm enough to him anymore, but he didn't care as his mental state was even worse than his physical state at the moment.

His voice, his scent, that night, his habits, his words, their years together...

Make it stop.

" You know I love you, Haohao "

It hurts.

" I will never leave you alone, don't worry "

Please...

His body was exhausted and his mind didn't stop working, his delusions getting to him, and his heart felt like it was going to explode with how fast it was suddenly beating. He felt like he could faint right then and there, and die.

Then he heard a voice. Everything seemed to stop, even the time. That angelic voice, connected to a brown haired boy with slim figure. The person who made Minghao's heart race and the person who meant the most to the clutching boy who just a moment ago seemed to be in a state where he couldn't take any more pain.

" Haohao " the boy called out. The younger just stared in complete shock, debating over whether he was dreaming this entire time, as the person standing before him looked entirely alive and well as if he didn't see his dead form placed in a coffin that was buried under the ground.

" Jun... " he cried out. He stood up quicker than ever, not minding how dizzy he was after all of this.

The older boy opened his arms, and the younger immediately hugged him, tightly. His scent filling his nose, he buried his head in the crook of his neck and tried to calm his violently shaking body from crying. Jun was patting his head gently, placing a kiss on top of it, while rocking themselves back and forth.

" I'm here, it's okay, I am right beside you "

" I love you, I love you so much, please don't leave me alone ever again " he chocked out the words between his dying sobs.

" I won't, Haohao, I won't leave you. We will be together until the end of time from now on. "
