It's been a month since Yibo and Zhan met. They were still in the process of knowing each other or maybe it was only for Zhan but Yibo never stopped courting the older. They were close, very close for people who just met a month.

Yibo decided that he would cut the chase. So today he was going to go to his ge and confess to him, tell him to be his and his forever.

Zhan had an early off that day and on entering his bedroom he found a paper plane stuck on his window with tape.

It was a habit of the younger to write notes on paper planes and to stick it on the window. He pulled it out.

Meet me at the place I call home.

It was written in terrible calligraphy. The strokes of pencil smudging. Zhan knowing his Bodi's tricks decided to go meet him. Since he knew if he didn't he'd be the one to suffer.

Zhan walked through the streets trying to reminisce the time he met Yibo. It's been long since then. They grew close for strangers.

He made his way to the old age centre. He entered inside the building and found Mrs Tsu standing. He went to her.

"Mrs Tsu did Yibo come yet ? He asked me to come here." He said.

"Oh he went out again though. You can go out and check on him. I don't think he went that far."

Zhan mumbled a thank you and went out.

He walked the direction opposite from wher he came. He was wandering and lost. Thinking here that brat of a child had gone. When he heard shouts.

"I hear a boy got hit by a bike."

"They say he was quite young. Such a pity."

Zhan was confused, he knew an accident occurred nearby. He was scrared, his heart beating faster by the minute. His mind was filled with what ifs and what would happen to him if the younger wasn't there.

He asked for directions from the people around reached the place where the accident occurred. He ran as fast as his legs could go. He was panting, sweat dripping from his forhead. He was tired and he wanted to cry. His emotions were a mess but he still ran. He reached.

He pushed through the crowd, he found the boy who was hit. He did run fast enough to see the crowd. Its wasn't Yibo.

He sighed. He felt relieved. He felt things he didn't knew he felt.

He ran back again, he was satisfied that at least he didn't get in trouble. But he was still scared. Where could that overgrown foetus go ?

He walked back again. He looked around all the time to see if he could find Bodi. When finally he saw the younger walking up and down at a distance.

He was glad to see him, overjoyed. The feeling couldn't be comprehended in words and logic. It was more than what he wanted it made him feel complete. It was just a single glance that proved everything he ever doubted about.

He ran and hugged him. The younger was confused but complied to Zhan and hugged him. The older was crying.

How he had grown so near to him. The night where he cried in the younger's shoulders. The night they screamed for spiders. Everything came back.
Nostalgia hit him. His feelings were confirmed. He knew what he felt

"I wanted to confess to you ge. I love you and I want you to be with me in my future as my partner. Even if you don't accept it'd be okay as long as I'm with you. Just please let me keep you near. I'm scared to lo-"

He was cut off by a pair if lips.

"I love you too. I'm yours." The older smiled.

"Never get away from my sight." He said crying in the younger's torso his tears leaving wet stains on his shirt.

"I love you too much to lose you out my sight."

It was just them on the streets, crying in each other's arms. It felt right. It felt complete. The world was still going on but for them time stopped. It was just them.

They were entering Zhan's apartment and Yibo was complaining on and on about what how in the care centre he never got to hold his boyfriend. How they were dancing with him in the break time on those old Chinese songs.

They were both sitting in the bed and Yibo was still complaining on that matter. Zhan was fed up with the younger's rants.

"If you really wanna dance then let's do it now."

"It doesn't give the same vibes."
Yibo said clearly angry.

Zhan pulled out his phone opening a podcast and placed it on the table.

"Now come on let's dance." Zhan said through giggles.

"I'm agreeing only because you look cute." Yibo huffed.

Zhan pulled the younger. They were doing stupid moves. Giggling in between. It didn't change at all. They were still the same.

They were still childish.

And Zhan knew he fell in love with an overgrown.

Child.

If he never gave him that chance that day he wouldn't have shared these moments with him.

Even if they were unsure of themselves. They knew they sure about each other. That no matter what the struggles were. They'd be together.

Every story is different and every romance has a different story.
