Shark Bait (Rinharu)

9.

Rin's POV
I look at the boy in front of me with a questioning look. Had he really just said that or had I just been day dreaming it? His hair was a mess and he looked like he'd been hit by a lust truck. Yep, he had definitely asked me out. His brows furrowed, causing a little 'v' to form on his forehead.

"Well, are you gonna answer my question or not?" His tone suggested that he was getting impatient, which really wasn't a good look on his beautiful face.

"Can you let me think about it?" I said, feeling unusually shy all of a sudden. It's not like I didn't want to date the most beautiful man on the face of the Earth, because I do. But I wanted this question to feel a bit more special. It just feels, oh what's the word? Oh wait, BLAH. I mean, the make out session was great, I'll have a hard on for days but could he have been a little less straight forward?

"Oh, ok. I'll just go on a walk and wait for your answer." He grabbed his coat of the chair and left without another word.

Muhahahahahahaha, time to put 'get pretty boy into my bed and become my boyfriend' into motion. Shut up, I know the name of my plan is fucking terrible, you don't have to rub it in. I looked over at the case of white roses I had on my desk (if you are so wondering why I have roses on my desk, well I like the smell and they were a gift), they were pretty but I needed their petals right not. I took them out of the case and started plucking off the petals, being careful not to rip them and silently apologizing to my mother for ruining then after she'd bought them for me.

I placed the petals in a small glass bowl for safe keeping until I was ready for them. Then I went into my closet and pulled out my old vanilla scented candles and my doc.

After about ten minutes of arranging the candles and the petals into an uneven heart, I called Haru and told him to come back.

I plugged my phone into the doc and searched up the background music to one of my favorite songs that I knew he'd like and waited for the sound of the door to open and close.

After a good twenty minutes, I heard the door finally open and close. How far had he actually walked away from the apartment complex?

The door clicked open as the acoustic sounds of James Dean & Aubrey Hepburn and Kellin Quinn's voice filled the room

They say that love is forever

Your forever is all that I need

Please stay as long as you need

Can't promise that things won't be broken

But I swear that I will never leave

Please stay forever with me

He looked like he wanted to cry, probably because Kellin's voice was angelic or maybe I did something wrong.

"So was that and this..." He gestured to the candles and petals, "...a yes?"

"Yes."

He walked/ran up to me and wrapped his arms around my neck, tight enough that it made my airways stop working. His breathing had changed and he was starting to tremble.

I pushed him off of me far enough to see that he was actually crying, tears of happiness guys. Crying was also not a good look on him.

I held his face in my hands and whipped away the tears with my thumbs, his eyes kept looking from mine to my lips. I leaned in and gentle pressed my lips to his. This is what happiness feels like, this moment right here.

"I love you, Haru."

"And I you."

HAPPY HOLIDAYS READERS
Song featured in this chapter was 'Scene One - James Dean & Aubrey Hepburn' by Sleeping With Sirens.

I have something to talk about. K-pop has lost a truly amazing person this week to suicide and it has left all kpoppers around the nations devastated. Guys, if you feel like you're at the end of your ropes, don't turn to self harm or suicide. I've been there and it doesn't help. It only eases the pain for the time being. Find someone you can confide in, don't keep what you feel inside.

You did well, Jonghyun.
