Secret Passion.

First time here. [Chapter 4]

The next day rolled by and Dae sat on the couch, after school, waiting for Nyx's arrival. He made sure to wear his more fresh clothes, but only to look presentable to Nyx. The clock ticked and clicked, 4:20..4:30.. 4:40... DING!

There was a loud ringing sound from the door that echoed throughout the house. Dae immediately sprung up and raced towards the door, flinging it open. "Hii Nyx!!" Dae said. Nyx stood there in all black clothing, looking more and beyond depressed. "Hello." Nyx responded with a monotone voice, eye bags heavy under his eyes.

"Come in!"Dae made a waving motion to come in.

Nyx removes his shoes and puts his backpack at the wall, before entering the house. He admired the house, his eyes darting around and mentally praising the clean house. "It's.. Really clean here.." Nyx commended. Dae's eyes kindled with exhilaration from the simple compliment as he returned the praise. "Thanks! I remembered to clean up before you arrived." Dae enthusiastically replied. "M'kay. Let's just go to your room and continue with the project." Nyx reminded him. Dae signaled Nyx to follow him to his room, before wandering off to his room.

When the two reached Dae's room, the room was already neat and organized. Dae went over to his bed and patted his bed, indicating to take a seat. He dug under his blanket and removed a laptop from under. He started the computer and immediately began the research.

The rhythmic sounds of typing echoed throughout the room, showing the amount of dedication on finishing the project. It's been a few hours ever since they started their project, and they were halfway through the task, which was a good start. The duo were focusing on the project until Dae's stomach growled for food.

"O-oh uhm.." Dae stammered, considering the sudden interruption from his stomach. "S-sorry.. I-it's just that I'm getting a bit hungry.."He tried to clear up the situation, still feeling a bit sheepish.

"Okay?" Nyx spat, not giving a damn.

"Can we get something to eat..?" Dae awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, hoping he says yes.
"Okay, fine, I don't really care anyways."Nyx answered.

Dae got back up on his feet and skipped over to the door, looking over his shoulder to see Nyx sauntering his way to the door as well.

Dae strolled over to the kitchen's pantry before yanking it open. His eyes scanned through the varieties of food they had, trying to find the snack that he craved. "Nyx, do you want anything?"Dae questioned, turning his head over to them.

"No."Nyx continued to lean on the counter and scroll on his phone, not even giving a second to look at them.

"C'monn, I know you're at least craving SOMETHING."Dae countered while reaching his hand through the pantry to grab something.

Dae grabbed a sandwich, offering it to Nyx as Nyx tried to push away the sandwich.

"Stop."Nyx scowled. Dae pressed it against his face, teasing him.

"Heheh, c'mon, I know you're hungry." Dae giggled, shoving it into his cheek.

"STOP!"Nyx yelled, swatting it out of his hand. As he whacked it out his hand, it revealed a smear of food on his cheek

"Uh oh, I'll wipe that,"Dae said, grabbing a tissue.

"I can do it myself," Nyx snarled sharply, swiping the tissue out of his grip.

Dae watched Nyx wiping off the smear. "Let's get back to work,"Dae announced, while eating the sandwich.

A while later, the project was almost finished, Nyx only talking if it was for work. "We finished a lot for something that was supposed to be finished in 3 days."Dae declared, clearly feeling proud of themselves.

"I'm going now,"Nyx said.

"Awh, already? Shouldn't we just finish up today?"Dae pouted.

"No, I have to get home by night."Nyx stated, starting to walk off to the door. Dae let him go, watching from afar.
