ICARUS FELL (boy X boy) ✔

25) You make me feel special *korean lyrics*

Thankfully that disaster of a day was the last working day and we had Christmas holidays.

The days following it were a blur. Christmas was a dull affair with me and Beck still not talking. Linda apologized and heard the whole story. She understood.

Mom and dad were always on my side. But Beck, after my meltdown, he apologized but things between us still weren't back to normal.

And I missed Elio. Terribly.

I missed going in impromptu dates with him, missed finding excuses to kiss him, missed taking his pictures whenever he wasn't looking just to embarass him later.

I missed him so terribly, there wasn't a single second I wasn't thinking of him.

I was filled with too much love and too much regret. I had no idea what to do of either.

Tomorrow is New year's Eve, which mean it's the day for the New year ball.

The day when I was supposed to be his date.

I walked inside my closet and picked up the outfit he chose for me.

It was a maroon three piece Hugo Boss suit. Elio chose a black and white one.

That day had to be one of my top three moments with him so far.

It was snowing by the time we finished our shopping. Since we went a little away from our city, we had to hurry up to reach our respective homes on time.

On our way back, we stopped by a gas station. Elio asked me to get some food from Taco Bell nearby, so I did.

We ate Taco's, we made snow angels.

'Here goes my reputation' he said before joining me in making snow angels.

We sang Christmas songs off key just to annoy each other through out our way.

How did it take me so long to realize how head over heels I was for that boy?

A knock on the door of my closet broke me out of my thoughts.

I walked out and saw my family sans Beck sitting on the couch. Linda was standing by the closet, waiting for me to come out.

I sat next to my mum, with my suit still in my hand.

"We heard you're Elio's date in tomorrow's ball?" Mom started.

"I- yeah um yes I am- was actually."

"Don't let your brother's ego decide your love life son." Dad said.

"You said you two weren't dating, so what exactly do you feel for him?" Linda asked.

Saying I love him would be too embarrassing so I went with the safer option.

"I like him. A lot." I was looking on my laptop, trying to avoid all of their gazes

"Then what's stopping you?" Mom asked.

"Beck? Me myself? Almost the entire school?"

"Excuses excuses" Linda sighed.

"Rus, baby you're scared. You're scared but not because of your brother or the school. It's you and your true feelings you're scared of."

"If Elio makes you happy, then minor inconveniences like your brother shouldn't bother you"

"Dad!" "Ethan!"

I chuckled slightly at that.

"To sum it up Icarus Wilhelm King, go get your man."

You know mom isn't kidding when she used your full name.
