BL ONESHOTS NO.5

⁸⁰Ming x Joe

Ming had always been a happy-go-lucky guy, always determined to see the brighter side of life. But little did he know, life had a way of throwing unexpected curveballs. And when those curveballs came crashing down on him, he couldn't hold it together any longer.

It all started with the loss of his job. Ming had worked tirelessly at the advertising agency for years, pouring his heart and soul into every project. But when the company downsized, he found himself out of a job, with no warning or explanation. It hit him hard, but he brushed it off, determined to find something new.

But as days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, Ming's search for a new job turned into a never-ending cycle of rejection. Despite his qualifications and experience, no one seemed to want to hire him. And his savings were running dry.

On top of that, Ming's relationship with his boyfriend, Joe, had been rocky lately. They had been together for two years, but the spark that once lit up their love had fizzled out. Ming couldn't pinpoint the reason, but he felt like he was losing Joe, bit by bit.

As he sat on the couch, staring at his resume for the hundredth time, Joe walked in, looking tired and stressed. Without even looking up, Ming said, "I got another rejection email today."

Joe let out a sigh and walked over to the couch, sitting next to Ming. "I'm sorry, babe. You'll find something soon," he said, trying to comfort him.

But that's when Ming snapped. "You don't understand, Joe. I've been trying for months, and nothing. I'm a failure. I can't even provide for us. And you, you don't even seem to care," Ming shouted, tears streaming down his face.

Joe was taken aback by Ming's outburst. He had never seen him like this before. In a softer tone, he said, "Ming, I do care. I care about you and us. We'll get through this together."

But Ming was beyond reason. "No, we won't. You don't even love me anymore. You're always distant, always on your phone. I can't take it anymore," he cried.

Joe's heart broke as he saw Ming's breakdown in front of him. He had been struggling with his own feelings for a while now, but he never thought it would push Ming over the edge.

"Ming, please, calm down. We'll talk about this, okay?" Joe begged, trying to pull Ming into a hug.
But Ming pushed him away and stood up, pacing back and forth. "Talk? What's there to talk about? You don't love me, and I can't find a damn job. I'm a failure at everything," he screamed, his voice cracking.

Joe could see the pain and frustration in Ming's eyes, and he knew he had to do something before it was too late. "Ming, I do love you. I've just been struggling with some things. But I'm here, and I'll always be here for you. We'll figure it out together," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

Ming stopped pacing and looked at Joe, his anger slowly dissipating. He saw the love and concern in Joe's eyes, and it reminded him of why he fell in love with him in the first place.

In that moment, Ming's mental breakdown came to an end. He collapsed into Joe's arms, sobbing, but this time, they were tears of relief and happiness.
"I'm sorry, Joe. I just couldn't take it anymore," Ming said, his voice shaky.

"It's okay, Ming. We all have our breaking points. But I'm here for you, no matter what," Joe reassured him, holding him tight.

And in that moment, Ming realized that he didn't have to face his struggles alone. He had someone who loved and supported him, and that was all he needed to get through anything that life threw his way. With Joe by his side, Ming knew that he could conquer the world.

"Ming. We'll get through this together. We'll find a way to make things work," Joe reassured him, holding him close.

And as they sat there, Ming realized that even in the darkest of times, there was always a glimmer of light, a ray of hope that things would get better. And with Joe by his side, he knew that he could face anything that life threw at him. From that moment on, Ming vowed to never let go of the love and support that Joe offered him, no matter what challenges they faced. And with that newfound strength, he knew that he could overcome any curveball that life threw his way.

"Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months," Ming reflected, his voice filled with gratitude. "But through it all, you've been my rock, Joe. Your unwavering support and love have carried me through even the toughest of times."

Joe smiled warmly, his eyes filling with admiration. "And you, Ming, have shown me what true strength and resilience look like. Your courage in the face of adversity is an inspiration to me every day."

They held each other's gaze, their hands intertwined as they found solace in the connection they shared. "Together, we can face anything that life throws at us," Joe affirmed, his voice full of conviction.

Ming nodded, feeling a surge of determination. "With you by my side, Joe, I know we can overcome any obstacle. Our love is our strength, our bond unbreakable."

And as they sat there, united in their commitment to each other, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hand in hand, hearts intertwined, ready to conquer the world as a team.

As the days turned into years, Ming and Joe continued to navigate life's ups and downs with unwavering love and support for each other. They traveled to new places, experienced new adventures, and created countless memories together.

Through it all, they faced unexpected twists and turns, tests of their patience and resilience. There were moments of doubt and fear, but they always found a way to lean on each other, drawing strength from their shared bond.

On a quiet evening, sitting by the fireplace, Joe gazed lovingly at Ming and spoke from the heart. "Ming, you are my rock, my guiding light. I am forever grateful for your unwavering love and the way you lift me up when I am down."

Ming reached out to caress Joe's hand, his eyes full of emotion. "Joe, you are my pillar of strength, my source of joy. Your laughter brings light to my darkest days, and your presence fills my heart with warmth."

In that moment, surrounded by the crackling of the fire and the stillness of the night, they made a silent vow to continue to stand by each other's side through thick and thin, to face whatever challenges life threw at them with resilience and love.

And as they held each other close, they knew that their love story was far from over. Together, they would continue to write new chapters, overcome new obstacles, and create a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support for each other.
