Do you feel the love | BibleBuild fanfiction

The beginning

I was lying on the sofa, holding my phone to my ear, Gray peacefully sleeping on my chest.

- Yep, mom, I'll be going soon, we're having coffee with Biu in two hours. - I said, gently patting the cat on the head. - He said he wants to show me the new cute coffee shop. He likes everything cute and colorful. He's like a five-year-old sometimes. - The only person I could really babble about this was my mom, so I took my chance whenever I could.

- Your new friend sounds really sweet, tell him to take care of himself for me! - The woman on the other end of the line was smiling, winking at her husband who was sitting near. Her son was so cheerful ever since he met that boy.

- Sure, I better go now, I don't want to be late! Love you and dad, bye! - I waited for her to say her goodbyes, hang up, and carefully put Gray down on the couch beside me. - Sorry, buddy, gotta get ready.

Trying to choose what to wear, I thought about the person I was meeting. We first met not so long ago, at a casting for the new series. Looking at him in the room full of people, I thought he was quite positive, he didn't really talk much to anyone but when approached, a bright smile blossomed on his face. Damn, I thought, the person talking to him was really lucky.

A slight smile touched my lips as I remembered about the guy. His smile brought a light to the whole world around him. I would do anything to keep that smile on his face.

I tried on several outfits, not getting satisfied with how I looked. For some reason I wanted to look extra put together today but nothing fit the pictured look in my head. I was wondering what he would wear. His clothes choice is always so unique and tasteful. And I don't know why but my eyes were always drawn to his jewelry that made his fingers look so delicate and his neck tender. His self-expression was a brave move. I respected that.

Looking in the mirror and fixing my hair for the thousandth time, I felt weirdly excited and... nervous? Why was I nervous?

The parking lot wasn't too crowded as it wasn't that late in the day yet. I parked and then approached a small cafe in the beginning of the street. Glass windows decorated with neon sings gave me a chance to check how I looked once again. I looked through the window and saw Biu sitting in the corner, drinking his americano and looking at his phone. Another cup of coffee was already on the table in front of him. He was probably shooting a video of himself for his socials. Couldn't blame him, he was too cute not to share it with the world.

He didn't even notice me as I walked through the cafe and sat in front of him. He jumped as he saw me.

- Um, hi! - I said, taking the cup he bought for me. - You look...good! - I felt my cheeks blush as I looked at his arms in a sleeveless t-shirt and several chains around his neck falling into his chest. Why was I so awkward today?

- Thanks! - He giggled, putting his phone down and fixing his hair behind his ear. - You too! - He answered, his smile shining brightly, making me want to smile back and never stop. - Want to sit next to me? - He asked in English with the cutest accent. The cafe was small, the tables weren't that big so it was more convenient to sit on the opposite sides, but I didn't want it to become awkward so I took my stuff, walking to the other side of the table and sat close to him. The smell of his sweet perfume reached me and I inhaled deeply, smiling. Don't know why.

- Want to see something? - He touched my arm lightly, tilting his head to look at me.

- Sure! - I smiled, relaxing a little. It's just a meeting with a colleague. The staff told us to interact more so we would feel more comfortable with each other while on set. The whole team of actors was so excited to shoot the series so we tried our hardest to break the ice. But for him, it seemed, there was no ice. Build was so sweet with everyone. No matter what he did or said, everyone he talked to instantly felt at ease. He never seemed awkward, always laughing, not being afraid to touch somebody or lightly tap them on the arm.
