scoups; him as your blind best friend

Prologue

"Mom, I'm leaving!" You shouted from the door.
"Okay, be safe!"
You got out your house, and headed to school. Once you got there, you went in straight away. Your friends Joshua, Seungkwan and Seungcheol were already waiting for you. Little extra information; Seungcheol has been your crush since middle school. But since the four of you have been friends for forever, you tried to ignore the butterflies and act normal. Which works out most of the time.

"Aish, you're late again." Seungkwan said while looking at the watch on his wrist.
"What do you mean? We have 2 minutes left." You rolled your eyes.
"Yeah, and we have to run through the whole school to our classroom!"
"Well, you could have-"
"Don't fight guys." Seungcheol on your left said.

You looked at him. Seungcheol was born blind, that's why he is almost always wearing sunglasses, so people wouldn't stare at him. You didn't know where he was looking at. You got close to his face with yours. "Seungcheol-Ah, did someone tell you today, how good you look?"
He didn't move a bit. "Don't try to get me on your side. Let's go."
You hummed. Joshua and Seungkwan laughed. Joshua got right next to Seungcheol, leading him to our classroom. He can walk alone with his stick almost all the time, but in the morning, when all the students come to school, Joshua always stays at his side, even though, he doesn't want it. Seungkwan put his arm around my shoulder, as we headed to the classroom.

"Do you have a date for our graduation party yet?" He asked.
You shook your head. "I thought the four of us are going together."
"That's so lame, y/n. You should go with someone else."
You hummed. "How is that possible? The three of you are always by my side. You think someone will ask me if there are two muscle men and one tangerine standing next to me?"
Seungkwan hit your head. "Idiot."
"Aish!" You screamed.
"Stop fighting." Seungcheol said from the front.
"Sorry." Seungkwan and you both murmured.

After school was over, the boys, and you decided to make homework at a café, not far away from your school.
Joshua and Seungkwan were in charge of getting coffee, while Seungcheol and you were waiting for them.

"Don't you think it's pretty dumb that they still make us do homework, even though the finals are already over and the graduation is in a month?"
You sighed by the sight of your math homework.
"We're not out of school yet. I'm pretty sure we're going to survive this month now too."
You looked at your friend. He was reading the homework by the sign dots on his paper. It's hard for the teacher to make his homework or general work easier for him, but he fought hard to be here with us now.
"Seungcheol?"
"Mhm?"
"Do you have a date for the graduation party?"
His finger stopped on the paper. He slightly turned into your direction.
"Y/n, I'm blind. You think someone would go with someone like me?"
"Of course! You are handsome, Seungcheol. And you have nice personality. Why wouldn't they?"
"Because I can't tell them, that they're pretty."
You looked at him. "You think we care about that?"
He nodded. "That's why I don't try to date. It won't work out."

You were about to say something, but Joshua and Seungkwan came with coffee. You smiled when Joshua placed your coffee cup right in front of you.
"My lifesaver."
He laughed. "Let's get this shit done."

After your homework session, everyone went home. Since Seungcheol and you live near each other, the both of you went back together.

"Do you want to go with someone to the party?" Seungcheol asked after some time of silence.
"Why are you asking?"
"Seungkwan asked you in school today, and you asked me at the café. So I wonder if you want to go with someone."
You were glad he couldn't see you turning red. The only person you wanted to go with was Seungcheol. Technically, you were going with him.. and Joshua and Seungkwan.
You tried to laugh. "No, I don't want to go with someone. I'm happy to go with my best friends."
You saw him nodding.
"Best friends." He murmured.
"What?" You couldn't quite understand him.
"Nothing. Just thought you like these kinds of things, when someone asked you out."
"Maybe I do. I haven't experienced it yet..."

You looked up in the sky. The sun was already setting. The sky was beautifully colored in orange and red. Your favorite colors.
"I wish you could see the sky right now. It's so pretty." You said.
Seungcheol stood still, looking up in the sky. You stood next to him, but instead of looking in the sky, you looked at him. You have never met a person as beautiful as him. Thinking about what he said earlier, that he won't date anyone, makes you sad. Not that you wanted to be the one dating him, you wanted him to be happy, genuinely happy. You wanted him to have someone, who would tell him daily, that he is a beautiful person, who laughs to his dad jokes, who stays by his side.

"Y/n?"
"Yes?"
"Can you describe it to me?"
"What?"
"The beauty of the sky."
You smiled at him.
"With pleasure, Cheol."
