My I「Junhao」

3.2

"Don't forget its date night Haohao! I'm paying so don't you dare bring money with you." I called out before slamming the bathroom door closed so I could get myself ready. I heard Minghao curse, clearly having forgotten, and laughed as I pulled off the shirt and pants I was currently wearing and stared down at what I had chosen for tonight's date night.

I easily pulled on the pair of black ripped jeans, smiling as I thought about what Minghao's reaction to the restaurant will be. When I put my arms in the button up shirt I had chosen to wear and went to button it up, I just so happened to look up and catch a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror, which made me freeze. I was never one to be very body conscious but for some reason while I was dressing myself and if I looked at the mirror, I tended to think of how skinny yet well built Minghao was and I couldn't help but feel self-conscious about my body and my weight.

"Junnie?" The door at first opened a peep and then opened fully. Minghao was standing there shirtless, which made me look away slightly, flustered because of his body. Minghao looked around and observed everything in the room. "You're criticising your body again, aren't you?" His voice was soft and, knowing that I had been caught, when I said my response, my voice was softer than his.

"Gēge, you can't be doing this to yourself," he stated as he came over to me and started buttoning up my shirt, looking into my eyes as he spoke, "You have an amazing body and you are no way, in any shape or form, overweight. You're the most beautiful person I've seen and I love you and I will always love you, no matter what you look like." He had finished buttoning the shirt and pressed a kiss to my lips.

When we pulled apart, he looked down at the shirt and dissolved into a fit of giggles. I followed where he had been looking at and also laughed, seeing that him not looking at what his hands were doing while he was buttoning up my shirt ended in a bit of a disaster.

"Oh Xiao Haohao. Have I ever told you how much I love you?" He grinned up at me and then fixed up the buttons he messed up, it was then that I realised he was still shirtless and felt my face heat up. "Why was it that you came in here again? You're still shirtless, my love." He blinked a few times then laughed as he realised that indeed, he was still shirtless. "I wanted your opinion, do I wear my burgundy or black turtleneck?" I squinted and made a duck face as I thought.

"Black. You look hot in that black turtleneck of yours." I stated factually. Minghao didn't even laugh at what I suggested, he just nodded with a smile and pressed his lips against mine. "Thanks babe, I knew I could count on you." He went to leave, but stopped by the doorway. "By the way babe, you look hot as well." He then closed the door again and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face as I finished dressing myself and I decided to forgo makeup.

When Minghao and I swapped areas so that he could do his hair, I tried to wink which made Minghao laugh before I went back into our closet and found a nice semi-formal jacket to wear over the button up shirt and a normal pair of black shoes. As I waited for him to come out, knowing he wouldn't take too long, I laid on our bed and scrolled through twitter, retweeting the occasional meme and posting something about our date to inform our friends, not expecting anything to come from it.

What I wasn't prepared for was an influx of notifications, and the fact that most of those notifications were follows and replies from people I didn't even know on that post about our date. Apparently somebody from the audience at the competition knew my twitter username and shared it and apparently we had fans.

There were various types of replies, people telling us to enjoy our date, people saying ugly homophobic things, some people were even saying that they had a feeling we were dating because of our interactions during performances.
