Head In The Clouds | 2Jae

Chapter Three

Jackson sat in his class with a little frown on his face. Youngjae has left early and now he was left alone.

That meant he had people practically attacking him to do things after school. There were really only two people he cared to hang out with.

"Jackson~" he heard after the bell rang, a whine of his name coming from the smaller boy who practically fell into him.

"Lu, what are you doing?" Jackson asked with a laugh as he stood, looking down to the grayish haired other who made his place laying across his desk until Jackson was ready to leave.

"I just wanna go home and, I dunno, sleep or something. Maybe write something" Luhans little pout had Jackson's heart speeding up ever so slightly.

He and Luhan has been friends since forever, both of them being transfer students from China along with a few other students at the school. Although, Jackson had never gotten along with any other transfers like he had with Luhan. They both loved to dance and be silly, make people happy.

He wasn't sure when it happened but there was no denying his crush on Luhan.

He didn't really notice it for the first year they'd known each other. The way Jackson's heart would speed up when Luhan would lean on him or how his eyes would travel up and down the others body just to admire him.

But it was obvious now.

More than once had the two been mistaken for a couple. Especially when walking back from dance. They'd be leaning on each other and excited and jumpy, seeming like a couple of teenagers who couldn't keep their hands off each other.

It wasn't necessarily good to be gay in Korea but it wasn't...horrible. At least, not for some people.

Jackson was personable, nice, silly. No one cared to bother him about sexual orientation. Youngjae was a different story.

Youngjae was quiet and shy if you didn't know him. Luhan and Jackson acted a bit like his body guards, making sure the younger didn't get hurt.

They didn't always succeed but they tried their best.

"Jacksoooon~" Luhan continued to whine as Jackson pulled on his bag and let out a small chuckle.

"Come on, Lu, I need to go check on Youngjae" Jackson stretched a bit and Luhans eyebrows furrowed.

"Didn't he come this morning?" He asked as he stood, fixing his bag along with his hair.

"He wasn't in second period, I'm thinking he skipped but I wanna make sure he's not hurt" Jackson explained as the two began to walk out.

"If he is, no dance tonight?" Luhan asked with a little chuckle, trying to cheer the other up as much as he could. Luhan hated seeing Jackson sad or stressed. It was like a bullet through his heart.

Jackson, his little Wang puppy, was the source of a lot of his happiness. The two did most things together and Jackson was always there for him. Jackson had been through a lot. He had to leave his parents in China and live with his grandmother who cared for him as much as she possibly could. Jackson got a job anyway, not wanting her to work herself too hard. He was one of the sweetest people Luhan had ever met.

So when a little chuckle left Jackson, Luhan couldn't help but smile. The others laugh never failed to make smile.

"Yeah, no dance practice tonight if something happened" Jackson said as the two started to make their way down the street to check on the younger they had a soft spot for.

Youngjae watched as the angel quietly played with the small dog that ran at his feet. He seemed too genuine and confused to be lying about what he was. Youngjae was contemplating through everything when he heard the loud voice of Jackson.
