This is basically to the song
Sarah Smiles by P!atd but its not to the meaning of the song,
my song fics will mostly be interpreting the title or some lyrics into the story.

he spends all day up there, on that little roof conjoining our two houses. He just sits there and reads, always engulfed in a magical storybook looking as if he's been transported there himself.
he never smiles though. There's just a look of concentration plastered on his beautifully tanned face, eyes squinted slightly and mouth opened the smallest amount.
I watch him from my bedroom window hoping one day he'll notice me and flash me a small smile.

"hey.." I spoke in a hushed voice being cautious not to startle the boy. He looked up from his book, staring into my blue eyes with his deep brown ones.
"hi" that was it before he stuck his nose back into the story, completely ignoring my presence. I cleared my throat, "excuse me?" he looked up again but this time after he spoke he didn't look back down
"yes?" he questioned. I climbed out my window, walked over to his roof and sat in front of him, never breaking eye contact.
"What're you reading?" "The Enchanted Forest" he said quietly, turning away so our eyes weren't locked.
"Is it any good?" I questioned trying to catch his gaze once more.
"Good? Its amazing, the description of the forest makes you feel like you're there, sitting and staring into the very wood itself, silver entwined branches and glistening green grass both sparkling delicately in the moonlight.." as he carried on he got lost in his words as I couldn't stop staring into big brown eyes. He was so beautiful, why did he never smile?
"..its not real though, I could never go there. I have to stay in this ugly world, but I would do anything just to witness something even half as amazing as that." As he finished his sentence I swear I saw him give me the faintest of smiles. "Sorry you probably didn't care about any of that", he said glancing back down and letting his fringe fall in his face.
"If I didn't care, would I have asked you?" It was 2am and the sinister darkness began to feel eerie. "I should go now" he whispered as he started getting up.
"Wait", he stopped in his tracks and turned around. "What's your name?" "Dan." He said simply as he climbed into his window and shut it with a small thud. "Dan.." It rolled off my tongue like it was meant to be said. A beautiful name for a beautiful boy. I left without another word.

(no ones POV)
The two boys had been meeting the same time everyday for a week now and not once had Dan smiled yet.
One night after their 2am talk about this fictional forest, Dan went inside but forgot something out on the roof. His book. This was perfect, Phil knew exactly what to do. He hopped off the roof and made his way over to the isolated forest.
Dan climbed into bed while Phil ventured deeper into the woods in search for something truly special. It would be a long night.

Dan woke up the next day and remembered he left his book out on the roof. He climbed out his window to retrieve it and was greeted by only a small post-it note stuck on the other boys window.
