Minghao stayed over at your house pretty late, eyes stuck on your computer as he studied away. It was already 9 p.m. and you thought it was time for him to leave already. You went upstairs to your room to tell him it was time to get going, but you found him with his head on the desk, one cheek pressed against it, arms hanging from either side, as he breathed softly. You leaned against the wall and admired the sight, he looked so cute when he was sleeping. You let the thoughts about him take over you not so long ago. You finally admitted that you like him, a lot. You thought it couldn't hurt to let him stay over just one more night.
You went to find a fuzzy blanket to cover him in. You closed your laptop as you laid the blanket over him carefully. You cleaned your desk up silently, you had an urge to run your fingers through his hair. Your fingers ran through his silky hair and you took off his glasses. "Goodnight, Minghao." You said softly, as if he was still awake. You headed to your bed and turned off the light, the pitch black darkness frightened you a bit, but it helped sleep take over you. Your eyes shut themselves as you drifted to sleep. You heard something shifting around, and some footsteps, but you were too tired to open your eyes once again. It's probably Minghao getting comfortable, you thought to yourself. Until you felt a weight dip on the other side of your bed and a small peck on your forehead, "Goodnight, Y/N." You heard him whisper. That was the last thing you heard, rather, felt before you were fully asleep.
You woke up to a strong grip around your waist, and soft, warm breathing tickling the back of your neck. You also felt that familiar warmth right behind you, and smelled that familiar scent. It felt nice. It felt safe. You felt a small smile creep onto your face. You buried yourself deeper into the heat behind you. You didn't really know what you were doing, you were still half asleep. The grip around your waist got stronger, but it wasn't uncomfortable, in fact, it felt better. You felt like you needed this, the stress that was put upon you has been lifted, and you wanted to be like this forever.
Until your alarm went off. You groaned and turned it off hastily, throwing your phone across the room in the process, wanting to go back to the warmth that once surrounded you. You were fully awake now, turning around, realizing the warmth and comfort was coming from Minghao. You saw him stretch, eyes screwed shut, back arching off the bed and arms extended behind his head, as he collapsed on the bed once again. "Good morning.." He said in a tired, scratchy voice, yawning afterwards, he sounded like he was going to fall back asleep. You sat on the edge of the bed awkwardly, staring into his eyes that were staring right back into yours. "Good morning." You said softly as you got up, starting your day straight away, the shock woke you up. You took a quick shower, wanting to forget about it, but not wanting to at the same time.
Minghao was already downstairs, he unlocked the front door for Jun to come in with ease, he texted him that it was open. He sat at the breakfast table, eating while staring into nothing. He was lost in his own thoughts, thinking about how you sunk deeper into his embrace, just thinking about how you felt, being so close. You walked downstairs, hair still damp, you sat down and heard the front door open, "I unlocked the door for him." Minghao said quietly. Jun walked in, waving energetically, "Hey Y/N, hey Minghao!" He sat with you two and talked about how he's so confident about the upcoming test today. "Good luck, Jun, I know you'll pass!" You said with a grin. Minghao had been quiet the whole conversation. "Is everything okay, Minghao?" Jun asked. He just nodded his head and cleaned up after himself. You and Jun both looked at each other and shrugged.
He just missed the feeling of you, stuck right next to him, that's all. He'll get over it during the day. The only thing that gets him going is that he gets to stay with you the entire day, sitting next to you, following you around. It sounds creepy, but it's all he wants. He wants to be with you. He shook off the thoughts as he just thought of being with you all day, like he always does, smiling to himself. When he came back to the table, he still had that small smile on his face. "What is up with you? One second you're all sad and angsty, the next, you're all happy and smiling to yourself." Jun said, finishing with a small chuckle. "Sorry, just thought of something funny." Minghao used some shitty excuse that seemed to work on his brother. Not for you though, you had a feeling he was thinking of what happened between the both of you just this morning and immediately lightened up.
You drove the three of you to school, stopping for the usual morning Starbucks. You noticed Minghao was a bit more touchy today. He played with your hair and occasionally brushed his hand against yours. He'd scoot his desk closer to yours and instead of his hand on your shoulder, he'd hold your hand. You didn't mind any of these things, but you were curious as to why he was so clingy today. It was lunch break, both of you sat outside on a bench, so you decided to ask, "Minghao?" He hummed as he looked at you, his face stuffed with his lunch. "Sorry for asking, I'm just curious, but why are you so clingy today?" He blushed and turned away, swallowing his chewed up food. "Well, I don't really know, I guess I just like being with you." He answered. "Was it because of this morning?" You asked while he was taking a drink of his water, he nearly choked on it. "Wh-what? No, of course not, I don't even know what you're talking about." He said, trying to dismiss your question. "Well, if you really don't know, then I'll tell y-" "FINE, it was because of this morning, I'm sorry." You smiled and started teasing him about it, apologizing for the teasing afterwards. "It's fine, Minghao, I enjoyed it quite a bit. My damn alarm ruined it though, sorry about that." You told him, laughing a little. You saw him smile a little to himself.
"Can we cuddle more often?" He asked shyly, messing around with his fingers. You thought about it for a bit, before hesitantly answering, "Yeah, sure." "You know, I really like you Y/N.." Minghao said sheepishly, his words trailing off. Your face turned crimson red as you look as his. His cheeks were dusted with a soft pink color. "I-I really like you too, Minghao." You both looked at each other, blushing, you felt like you two were the only ones in the world, you both were lost in each other's eyes. When the bell rung suddenly and it was time to go back to class. Minghao grabbed your hand, locked his fingers with yours, and you two were on your way back to class. You enjoyed holding his hand, you wished you could hold it forever.
