There was a little cottage where everything was just right. Berries that grew from every bush, windows that bloom with tulips. At dusk, there's honeysuckle tangles, in clusters around summertime. There lived a couple with flower children.

Chan was a wild rose who danced with delight, pinky complexion that decorated his pale snowy skin. He liked to grow where one couldn't reach near. Jisung, who was a little gold-hearted daisy, who told the sun he felt really snoozy! He blossomed even though the earth was quite too wet, keeping to himself as he could not quite open yet.

Little Jisung who stared outside, watching as the children played with giddy laughter. They always carried rucksacks that they decorated with flower chains. He always wanted to go to a real school, just like his hyungie!

" Very soon, little squirrel! When winter is over and all the birds come out to sing. " His mother hummed, blow drying Jisung's bushy squirrel tail such that it was fluffy and warm to his liking. He always loved sleeping like that, with his stuffie close to him, all cozy with his tail wrapped around in his body.

When the moon descended to touch the calm waters with her fingertips, gracing the divine earth with her celestial beauty, she drowned the world in pure bright light. Chan knocked on the door softly to not disturb Jisung. It was already 11.00pm and his little brother's bedtime was 9.00pm!

" Sungie? Are you awake? "
The wolf hybrid tiptoed around the room, sucking in a harsh breath when his feet almost landed on the scattered legos in the corner of the room.
A muffled murmur followed by soft giggles were heard from under the sheets. " Mmrm? Sungie is asleep! " The figure under the sheets shuffled and Chan could see the top of his hair peeking out. His little squirrel ears twitched, giving him away.

Chan couldn't help the warm smile that spread across his face, his lips as red as the strawberry jam that sat on the dining table. Jisung must have sugar for a smile because his laughter was so sweet.

" Peekaboo! "
Chan whispered, making Jisung tilt his head back in laughter as his puppy stuffie stayed snuggling close to him.
" How did you know I wasn't sleeping Channie? Are you a wizard? "
Jisung alsed, cocking his head tot he side as his puppy stuffie followed suit.

Chan felt his eyes water with deep admiration for Jisung. There was just such child-like innocence only those with a pure heart could foster. It was dazzling, the way he made the heavy ache from his bones turn into soft blue magic. He couldn't help but let his mind turn into yarn, slowly unravelling. Jisung was like cotton candy, he is soft, sugary and sweet. Deep down in the darkest parts of Chan's heart, he was afraid of what people would do to someone with nothing but sweetness. They could tear into his heart and let the hurt burn his core.

They could take and take till there was nothing left of him at all.

There was such bitterness sometimes, within the sweet blessing of a fragile heart.

These thoughts kept coiling and coiling till they formed knots that made him ache, made his chest feel heavy like a soaked up storm.

" Channie, wanna tell m' what you learn today? So when I go to a real school next week, I'm gonna be the smartest! Just like hyungie! "
He let his fingers gently slide into the silts of Chan's hands, swaying them gently back and forth as he patted to the space next to him. Jisung was his anchor.

He blinked away the tears that stained his glossy eyes, climbing into bed with Jisung.
He stared at the ceiling for a while, the glow in the dark stars that ignited a flame within his fiery heart. 
" Sungie's a big boy now, hm? "
He shifted himself, his face glowing softly under the stars.
