"But..." he whispered a cold shiver running down his spine yet he took his phone out lying it down on the table top. "Anyway the new number that is saved is Mark's new one, he has bought a new phone," said Sicheng quietly.

"Ok. Now leave into your room," said his mother in the same bitter way.

Sicheng nodded, he ran upstairs falling into his room sobbing loudly, he couldn't even call Mark to cry himself out, he was stuck here, stuck in a world that was trying to kill him, to cut off each piece of life inside him, he fell on the bed sobbing loudly cuddling to the pillow, shivering like crazy. Were the moments with Yuta in someone else's life? The electricity in his fingers, the subtle glances stolen during the silent car rides, the goodbye in the silence of the firs.

He heard his mum walking up closing her and his father's bedroom door shut behind herself. The house became so quiet while Sicheng felt his heart will explode from pain, he will explode lying here. He jumped up placing a warm hoodie over himself, then left the room sneaking out of the house, each squeak of the wooden staircase crumbling his hair from fear. His parents couldn't catch him, he reached the dark corridor leading to the living room then took the house key, opened the front door, the cold night air hitting him. He has never dared to abandon his parent's rules before no matter what, so what was just going on with him? He knew he will be punished more than ever, but he reached the garage took his bike out then closed the small door quietly.

The gate squeaked just a little when he placed the key in his jeans jumping on the bike cycling into the darkness quickly feeling the guilt in each body cell.





He wasn't even out of breath when he reached the main road the fear causing each other feeling to evaporate when he was giving it all speeding the bike up finding his way in the darkness, he knew this place so good he could find his way in the faint bike light, an hour later he was slowing down catching his breath cycling along the gravel road next to the lake panorama view. The last house had still some lit up windows when Sicheng stopped realizing it's stupid, he really shouldn't be here. Yet he stopped in front of the big stone fence and the metal gate inhaling sharply. He really shouldn't but going back the same road in the darkness seemed equally impossible so he was standing there battling with himself till he moved closer pressing the button at the gate.

Noting happened, it was a long moment of silence till he heard a voice.

"Who's there?"

"It's..." Sicheng's voice cracked.

"Sicheng, are you crying?" asked Yuta.

A moment later the front door slammed and Sicheng saw Yuta running down the hill, he was barefoot in his pajama pants and a loose t-shirt, he was out of breath when he pressed the gete simply letting him in.

Sicheng moved his bike on the driveway while trying to wash his tears away.

"Sicheng what's up?" whispered Yuta taking his face in his hands.

"I shouldn't be here, I should go but my-my parents," Sicheng felt tears rolling down his cheeks.

"What have they done?" asked Yuta his hands trembling on Sicheng's face.

"I... I'm sorry I will go back," whispered Sicheng moving from Yuta ready to start the bike into motion to leave.

"Sicheng," whispered Yuta pulling him back by his waist. "Please don't go," he begged when Sicheng looked up on him to realize his face was way closer than ever.

Before he could blink something wet touched his lips filling them with a strange taste of sweetness, when his head blurred the world stopped, there was just this weird warm sensation of Yuta's soft lips on his causing Sicheng to nearly faint when Yuta jumped away equally shocked.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm sorry Sicheng... It was... it just slipped," he said his eyes all scared.

Sicheng had no idea what to do or say he was standing there frozen holding his bike when his lips felt so dangerously odd.

Has this really been his first kiss?

"Come in, I'll make you some tea, we will talk," said Yuta getting over his shock.

"B-b..." stuttered Sicheng.

"I promise I won't kiss you again," whispered Yuta when Sicheng nodded.

They were watching each other in the darkness till Yuta turned around walking to the house so Sicheng just left the bike there and followed, he bumped into Yuta in the hall the boy's warm body giving him another wrong sensation when Yuta turned to him their eyes meeting again.

"Sicheng," whispered Yuta his palms caressing down the boy's cheeks when fireworks went off in him. "The tea yes," whispered Yuta his hands still pleasing Sicheng's cheek till Sicheng lowered his face hiding into them.

He should have run by now but Yuta just pulled him closer pressing his lips to his in the same wet way brushing over them again and again and again till Sicheng's mind blurred completely, he just stood there allowing Yuta to touch him that way.

"Yes, the tea," whispered Yuta letting go of his lips when Sicheng's hands reached out for him grabbing his t-shirt causing Yuta to laugh. "Come you will help me," whispered Yuta pulling him into a hug when Sicheng buried his face in Yuta's warm shoulder all his fear gone so suddenly replaced by a feeling of total serenity. For the first time in his life he felt totally safe, totally fulfilled, in the right place, although he was doing the wrongest things ever.

Yuta was holding him in his arms cuddling to him giving him his warmth.

"Who's oh!" they heard a voice that crumbled all the hair on Sicheng's body.
