My turning page.

Ch.3-Once upon a dream.

Absolutely amazing,I'm so glad to have you over tonight Kenji!!"

Lev wrapped his arms around Kenji who was stood in the doorway,giving him a huge hug just like he had wanted to all day.

"Ah-thank you Lev you look nice too"

Kenji dusted himself off a little before Lev grabbed his arm,pulling him upstairs to his room for a little before the celebrations were supposed to begin.

The two young boys looked absolutely adorable in their little tux outfits.Kenji's was a black suit with a navy tie,and Lev's was a dark navy with a black little tie. The two (mostly Lev) insisted they needed to match at least partially.

Lev knew Kenji mightn't be able to afford as nice of clothing as his,so he compromised so that Kenji wouldn't be left out and they switched ties.

"Kenji I'm so excited,I'm so happy you're here I'll have someone to talk to who I really like!!"

Kenji felt happy that someone cared for him, wanted him.He didn't feel like that certain times with his parents,they both worked long hours so he often came home to an empty house.

"Okay so we're only here for a second,I just really wanted to say something to you before we go out Kenji"

"Alright,what did you want to say??

He gave him a small red string bracelet,he was wearing a matching one.

"Thank you for being a good friend.This bracelet is so that we are together,even if I'm not here!!"

Lev smiled and giggled.

"Thank you Lev,I really like it."

"Alrighty,let's go now!!"

Lev grabbed his arm and ran out his room,pushing past a few personnel and making their way through a large mahogany door into a vast ballroom,full of people in beautiful clothes from all sorts of places around the world.Lev was super excited and practically bounced off the walls.

"So,what do you think hm???"

"Wow...it's beautiful."

Kenji's eyes were lit up like stars,he had never really seen quite a gracefully styled beautiful room like this,it almost made him emotional.

"Let's have a look around,see if we can find any other kids,Clemmy might be here!"

Lev was basically pulling Kenji through the ballroom by the arm, running through people excitedly as Kenji kept profusely apologizing to each of them.

"You two,come here!!"

Lev's head turned towards a familiar voice,he slowed down and walked over to two girls,around the same age as the pair of boys.

They all introduced each other to themselves.There was four of them in total;Lev, Kenji, Lev's cousin Clementine and her new friend Amphitrite, Amph for short.

The group chatted about typical things for young children to discuss; sports they liked, their friends and just silly things like their favorite toys and teddies.

Clem basically spoke for Amph most the time, whereas to Lev's surprise Kenji was engaging in a full blown conversation,something he didn't do very often with people he wasn't very close with.

They talked and danced for what seemed like a few moments, but really was about 2 hours before eventually separating their own ways.It was just Lev and Kenji again.

"Are you having fun Kenji?"

"Yes, because you're here"

Those words did something to Lev.They made his little kiddy heart go all fuzzy and warm when he heard them, it was so nice.

There was a lovely ambience in the room.Soft warm lighting with the comfortable sounds of people chatting and dancing to the music playing. As the night progressed, the music slowed and the light dimmed little by little until it was quite a calm vibe in the room.

A slow, gentle instrumental begun to play and before he knew it, Kenji got swept off his feet by a very happy Lev.

"Kenji let's dance together,this is my favourite song!"

"Lev,I don't know h-"

"Follow the music."

Kenji and Lev were like a rhythm and melody; sure they were lovely on their own but where they really shone is when they were together, reflecting each other's every single movement thoughts and emotions as if they were their own.

Kenji had never properly danced before, especially not a loving slow dance like this,but he managed to figure it out with Lev's help.

They swayed together like two flowers in a fresh breeze,flowing with the music.It was absolutely adorable.Lev's mother watched them,nodding at Lev who was currently smiling like he was in a candy store or something.

As the lights came back on they song finished and the two were hugging (mostly Lev hugging Kenji) happy in the moment.

Lev's mother was watching on with a smile on her face.No son of her would be growing overly close with another like that yet.No,he was too early to get his sensitive little sweet heart hurt by someone else.

As everyone said their goodbyes and left,Lev and Kenji stayed talking for hours.

"Oh my goodness Kenji,wasn't that amazing??!"

"It was really nice,thank you Lev,,"

Kenji spoke before a huge yawn,the two had stayed up way past their usual bed time and were exhausted by now.They walked up to Lev's room and got dressed into simple pyjamas before going to bed.

"Goodnight Kenji"

"Goodnight Lev."

As soon as their heads hit their pillows, they fell right asleep.They slept in until around 10 am the following day where they woke up and headed downstairs together.

The two sat beside each other at a table with Alisa, Lev's sister sat across from them.She was a little older and honestly she just wanted to go outside and play in the gardens already.

Breakfast was one of Lev's favourites;French toast.The three children ate happily before heading back up to their rooms to change.Once they were ready,Lev and Kenji went outside to play in the garden.

Well,they never really played.They always did the same thing; they would walk in a comfortable silence all around the large flower garden,just them two there.They spent hours gazing at different flowers,from dazzling dahlias and radiant roses to picturesque peonies,the gardens never seemed to bore them.

After they finished walking,they sat together under the shade of a weeping willow tree,watching the clouds together.

When it was time to go,Lev was always sad,almost too sad.He would miss Kenji a lot,but at least he could look forward to seeing him on Monday back in school.
