I meet him at the right time. Or a completely wrong one, depending on the perspective you look from.
I am not the one to fall head over heels in love with someone and he is not the guy someone should even fall in love with.
But there are all the wit...

As I lie awake in the middle of the night in complete darkness and silence, tracing Fai's chest, drawing circles on the skin, I think about what he told me. And I think about telling him my truth and my secrets. I know I could tell him. He'd understand, probably.
He's sleeping next to me, but I have trouble sleeping at night since I stay awake for so many because of my work. And I'm forced to lie here and think about things that I don't want to think about.
I place my head on Fai's chest, my cheek making contact with his warm skin. I hear his heartbeat under my ear and there's something comforting in this. Some intimacy. I close my eyes with a soft smile. Just for a moment here, life is beautiful. And all is okay.

I wake up because of my alarm clock, notifying me that it's time for school. Fai lets out a deep groan of displeasure, shifting. I'm still laying with my head on top of his chest so I feel his every movement which wakes me up even faster. "No the one for cuddling, huh?" he mutters. "Turn that thing off before I throw it out the window."
Fai is not a morning person, I notice. I have to roll off him and turn the alarm off. "Thank you for volunteering to take me to school. I'll be ready in minutes," I say over my shoulder as I step out of the bed. Fai puts a pillow over his face.
