The phone rang, and rang, and rang.

Hello?
Hey Xingqiu, I see you saw my.. Drawing.
Oh shut up

The conversation continued for many many hours until Xingqiu had to leave and get ready for bed
I've got to go, I'll still be able to text though! Bye YunYun
YUNYUN?? WAIT NO DON'T LEAVE YET, YUNYUN?
Yea.. I make nicknames for all my friends.

He hung up the phone and started to smile. He got rose up from his bead and walked to his bathroom. He splashed his face in cold water and looked up. Small, cold, wet droplets roped down his cheeks. A singular warm one ran from his eye and dropped into the sink. Stinging at his cheeks.
Xingqiu grabbed the nearest towel and dabbed his face with it. He cracked a smile and slowly walked out.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
He didn't understand. Why was this happening. It was late so he didn't have time to ponder. He went to bed but before he could fully dose off his phone pinged. A text message. It was from Chongyun.
"Sleep well Xingqiu <3"
There it was, that same feeling from earlier. He got butterflies in his stomach and he smiled at his phone.
SNAP OUT OF IT. he yelled at himself on the inside. He put on some music and started to slowly drift off to sleep. That night, he had a dream. He was walking through a field of flowers and found a secluded area to read in. Under a bright blooming cherry blossom tree. As he got more interested he heard something above him.
"hey there." it was a simular voice. He looked up. It was chongyun.
"Come, it's lonely up here" Xingqiu placed his book down and slowly climbed the tree. Chongyun helped him slightly by pulling him up from the ground. Once he reached the area where Chongyun was he sat down and was about to start conversation. Chongyun scooted closer, and closer, and closer, and closer. They were inches away from each other. That close that if they both looked at each other directly their noses would touch.
"So hey Xingqiu I wanted to tell you something"
"What is it?"
Chongyun grabbed Xingqius hands and looked him in the eyes. Time started moving slower, slower and slower. Chongyun flushed red and smiled. Xingqiu didn't dare to move. He closed his eyes and relaxed his face. Before he knew it his lips were tainted with a slightly cold yet soft, loving taste. The kiss deepened and they pulled away.
"Please don't hate m-" Chongyun tried to say but Xingqiu cut him off and united their lips once again. Once he finally decided to pull away chongyun was gone.
Huh
He had never felt so empty before but shortly after he woke up.
That was now his favourite dream he had ever had. You see Xingqiu was the type to fall in love with someone who showed him a the smallest amount of attention, this had always affected him and he always felt ashamed for it. But now he was enjoying it, he actually felt a spark within him. This felt different than the other little hyper fixations he had on people. He actually, genuinely, truly loved Chongyun.
Xingqiu slumped out of bed and made his way downstairs. Everyone and everything was a blur. He raised his hand to rub his eyes to hopefully make things clear again. When he opened his eyes everything was clear again. The carpet, the table, his mother who was sat on the couch watching TV, the clock that showed the time 08:10am.
"IM GONNA BE LATE"
after a very fast and stressful morning routine Xingqiu ran for school. By the time he got there he was covered in sweat and barely had any breath left in him.
"You good?" A voice around the corner spoke him. Chongyun
Xingqiu was about to answer him when his dream suddenly came back to him. His cheeks were practically glowing because of how red they were.
"Yeaaa... Hah... I'm.. Hah.. Fine" He said with a hint of embarrassment in his voice and on his face.
