Fast forward a couple weeks.

Ever since Mysta's arrival, the two boyz have been hanging out a lot. Even though Mysta traveled to see shu, he spent more time with Ike than his brother. It looked like the two had a bond that stretched decades back, even though they had only met a few weeks ago. Lately though, Mysta has been feeling this tight feeling in his chest whenever he see's Ike. And it's confusing him because even though every time he see's Ike's sweet smile, or hears his heartwarming giggles, even though his heart starts uncontrollably pounding in his chest, he feels peaceful. Like there isn't a whole war going on inside him. So of course he did the most logical thing possible- ask his friends. Not just any friend though, his love-expert friend.

And there he was, locked in his room (well not his room, technically Ike's but we don't care about that right now) so that Ike couldn't hear him practically yelling into his phone to his friend.

"Listen!! Like- I don't know what it is but every time I see Ike, it's like I'm about to combust!! And I don't know why but everyday I find myself staring at him from afar!! AND THERE WAS EVEN ONE TIME WHEN HE CAUGHT ME AND SMILED AT ME!!!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON MAN!!!!!!"

Mysta was marching around the room with a phone in his hand and his face tinted red.

"Listen boy, I'm surprised you don't know what you're feeling but it's pretty obvious. I think it's better that you realize it yourself so just think over it once more."

Vox, his best friend since middle school, spoke to him calmly.

"I mean- I think I... like him...? Is that it? I like some guy I haven't even known for long??? Is that normal??"

It sounded like Mysta was in complete disbelief, which he Infact was.

"I think it's fine honestly, it happens all the time to people and I've seen the dude! He's pretty handsome so I can't blame you."

The boy could hear his best friend smirking on the other side.

"Should I tell him?? What if he doesn't feel that way?? What if he hates me after??"

This was followed by a large sigh on both sides.

"You'll never know until-"

Vox was cut off by the call ending, Mysta hung up on him mid sentance. He really had to talk some sense into this boy.

The reason he cut off the man was because he heard the one and only Ike calling to him for lunch, and he would NOT make Ike wait. He quickly hurried outside and laid eyes on one of the most beautiful, magnificent, majestic things he'd ever seen.

Ike was wearing an apron.

It might not sound very big, but it was huge to Mysta! The way the apron gently hugged Ike's figure and showed off his thin waist and perfect body, and oh lord.. the precious smile that he had was about to make Mysta collapse. And the little hair clips he had preventing his hair from getting into his eyes gave him a completely different look. And he noticed how Ike's fluffy hair would gently sway around every time he moved, and now he could see Ike's golden eyes fully without anything blocking them. Mysta wasn't complaining though, it was way too cute.

He noticed Ike looking at him in concern, that's when he noticed he was frozen in place and his face was crimson and he was staring at Ike in absolute shock with his mouth gaping wide open.

"Mysta? Is something the matter?"

Ike asked with genuine concern, oh god even when he was worried he was still so fucking cute!!!!!!! (This is 100% not what I think it's totally jut some random shit which I'm typing)

"Ah- uhm.. no! Nothings the matter aha.."

Mysta immediately shifted his focus onto the floor which was oh so interesting now.

Some time passes and Mysta actually considers the idea of telling Ike how he feels, but just incase he wants to make sure of his chances so he takes the opportunity to ask him some questions when they were relaxing together on Ike's couch.

Even though Mysta was extremely nervous, he still proceeded to ask:

"Yo Ike.. is there someone you like? As in romantically"

It took a few seconds for Ike to fully process the question then think of a proper way to answer it without fully giving away exactly everything but still trying to give a shy innuendo.

"Yes, I do actually. I met him only recently but he really piqued my interest."

Mysta's ear perked up when he heard Ike use 'he', and even Ike probably noticed how Mysta looked a bit flabbergasted (yes I used that word, I love using it)

"'He'...?"

He saw Ike jump a little bit, seems like he hit a nail that he didn't aim for.

"Whoopsie.. didn't mean to out myself like that"

Despite what he said, there was still the soft smile displayed which Mysta loved so much. He couldn't help but stare at Ike's thin lips, they looked... soft... He actually shouldn't think of what just went through his mind right now...

Mysta snapped back.

"Well its fine by me! I won't judge you"

He saw Ike breath a sigh of relief which somehow gave him a spike in confidence.

"And you, Mysta? Do you like someone?"

He couldn't say that he didn't expect Ike to return the question but he was still nervous.

"Yeah actually I do, pretty similar to the person you said. Met them only a while ago yet they seem really..."

Mysta really didn't dare finish that sentance, he would probably blurt out 'oh yeah they have really pretty eyes just like yours and soft hair just like yours-' And so on.

"May I ask... who it is? It's for course completely fine of you dont feel comfortable telling me"

This seemingly harmless question dragged Mysta into a crisis (could've made a joke but I didn't) but all it took was one word to tell Ike, and he honestly did want to spill it but the fear of rejection was stacking higher and higher in his mind. But that didn't stop him!!

"Who I like.. it's you"

The blushing boi completely avoided eye contact and pretended to focus on the show they were watching before they were caught up in all this shit.

Since he wasn't facing Ike nor even glancing his way, Mysta didn't notice when Ike let out a silent laugh and gently laid his head on Mysta's shoulder. That singular action entirely broke Mysta and even if he was absolutely combusting earlier, he somehow managed to heat up even more when Ike mumbled a small "me too" which almost went under his radar.

Ever since then, the two have been dating. It was tough when Mysta had to return to the UK after a few weeks past but they maintained their long distance relationship. They did video chat everyday for two months until Mysta returned to stay with the lonely Ike for good.

That day when he was waiting for Ike to pick him up from the airport, when he saw Ike for the first time face-to-face In two months, he really couldn't explain the joy he felt seeing Ike's glorious (🙏🙏) eyes. And the way Ike was always so lovey-dovey, so much that it spoiled Mysta. He really couldn't get enough of this adorable man.
