Moonlight: A BL Fanfiction

Chapter 9

Going into Yan Fei's condo, Pin Jun went straight to the bed and lay down. He was kind of tired after all the dramatic events at the restaurant.

Hai Qing went in front of the mirror to check how he looks.

Yan Fei came right behind him and hugged him from behind and whispered, "Is this okay? Part of the pretence. I'll kiss you now."

"Yes, it's fine." Hai Qing replied, looking at Yan Fei's image on the mirror. Okay, he asked if it was okay. Maybe not a psycho after all.

Yan Fei then kissed Hai Qing's neck.
This did not go unnoticed by Pin Jun. He hid his face under the pillow to avoid looking at this romantic scene happening right in front of his eyes.
So cringe!

Hai Qing noticed Pin Jun drowning his face under the pillow. Maybe he was being affected, a little. Or was he mistaken again? He could not tell anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------

Going back home, Pin Jun thought it was time to tell Hai Qing a very important thing about him.

He messaged Hai Qing, "Come to my place day after tomorrow? Just the two of us."
He made it clear he did not want Yan Fei tagging alone.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Can we meet tomorrow?" Yan Fei texted Hai Qing the next day.

"I am going to meet Pin Jun tomorrow.  We can meet the day after. Is that okay?"

"Alright," Yan Fei replied.

His best friend did not invite him. Only Hai Qing was invited. Why? Was he going to try and steal Hai Qing from him now? It was obvious he would be jealous. After all he wanted Hai Qing for himself.

Here he was thinking of winning Hai Qing's heart but Pin Jun was being a huge obstacle.

"I have to up my game," he thought. "i have to try harder."

---------------------------------------------------------

The next day Hai Qing went to Pin Jun's place. No one was home. Pin Jun watched YouTube to make Hai Qing a tuna sandwich and some french fries. He had never done this before for anyone. He hadn't invited anyone home before either when no one was home, except him and his old grandfather. He tried to generalize his affection for Hai Qing as a service to all guests. It made him feel secure.

But he felt Hai Qing was more to him than a friend but not a lover really. Then what?

After having food, they both went to Pin Jun's room. There was no one home. Pin Jun's grandfather was in his room, deep in his sleep. Everyone else was out.

Hai Qing thought that maybe Pin Jun realized his feelings for him and invited him when no one is home to express his feelings after all. And be intimate? Maybe his plan to fake a relationship with Yan Fei worked. A little hope grew in Hai Qing's heart now.

Pin Jun was setting his bed up, making space for themselves to sit better. Hai Qing played a romantic song on YouTube, reading the room. Pin Jun came and sat beside him.

Hai Qing felt Pin Jun's shoulder brush against his. Hai Qing turned towards Pin Jun and smiled and leaned forward, thinking it was 'the moment' between the two of them. Pin Jun got shocked, leaned back as a reflex and then got up from the bed and stood up instantly.

Seeing this sudden repulsive movement from Pin Jun, Hai Qing stood up too. Oh shit, maybe he wasn't supposed to do that. He read it all wrong. Again! It was all in his head! Again! He felt terrible about himself now.

Pin Jun could see Hai Qing almost tearing up. He took Hai Qing's hand and said to him with possibly the softest voice and with the utmost care he could muster, "Hey, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. It's me. I have a problem."
