009
three whole days had passed since two cosmic-bound boys confessed their love for each other. it was, as jeno says, the best fucking day of their lives, and who are we to doubt it?
"should we have an anniversary celebrating our three days?" renjun joked out loud, gripping softly onto jeno's hand.
the latter let out a puff of air in amusement and smiled, "whatever you want, baby."
there it was.
renjun's heart skipped a beat.
huang renjun, are you about to combust...because of a nickname?
he could already picture the headlines in the daily news channels his parents always watch ㅡ DEAR STAR BOY COULDN'T HANDLE ANYMORE LOVE FROM HIS MOON BOY, SO HE EXPLODED?!
how pathetic...he thought to himself.
"renjun?"
said boy looked up just in time to see a precious shooting star fly through his lover's eyes. renjun felt mesmerized, but managed a hum in response.
"sit." jeno whispered, his body gently plopping down onto the worn out grass as he looked up at renjun still standing up.
the latter giggled and sat down in front of him.
❁
the night sky was beautiful, to say the least. renjun remembers reading once that the stars are holes that were poked into the sky to let in a little light during the darkness; he couldn't help but smile. renjun admired the ceiling of the universe, you know, the shooting stars and the eclipses between the sun and the moon (forbidden lovers). the mere thought of the stars falling down one day excited him, he used to think that maybe he'd be able to steal one and glue it onto his ceiling fan with all his glow-in-the-dark ones.
❁
"jun..." the soft whisper emitted from jeno's lips, "you look beautiful." his eyes stared into renjun's so lovingly. the moon's silent glow bounced off of jeno's irises, making him look fucking stunning.
both boys wanted to burst.
"not as much as you." renjun's honey angel smile melted jeno's heart into liquid gold.
"don't do that..." jeno murmured, his hands briefly twirling strands of stray grass before looking up into renjun's eyes, "don't make my heart flip like that."
renjun seemed confused. "why not?" he asked, his eyebrows softly creasing downwards with a small frown on his face.
"you'll kill me, jun," jeno let out a soft laugh. he brought his hand forward and gently held renjun's face, wanting his frown to disappear, "you could get away with murder with just one kiss."
renjun couldn't help but grin. "falling in love is just another form of death, y'know..." he giggled, music to jeno's ears, as he leaned in for a small kiss. it didn't last long and it was only a simple peck, but jeno swears he felt their souls melt into one.
