Platonic Love ~ JunHao

7

"What?" JunHui couldn't believe the younger's words.

"Yes." MingHao smiled timidly, the smile that JunHui wanted had returned on his face. "I want to see if I can be enough."

"You are enough." JunHui embraced the younger, looking directly into his eyes as he pronounced those words. "Or would I have fallen for you? Why would I love you so much? Why would I want to see you smile, to hold me tight, why?" The older didn't even know if he should've cried or laughed, but he did say those words with a refound happiness. He stared at the boy in front of him and leaned foward, making sure that he held the younger into his arms, and he hid his face into MingHao's neck. He breathed in, finding again the happiness he had been searching for in the last days.

MingHao giggled, he put his hands around his hyung's body, hugging him tight.

"But... I have to tell you this... do you know that lovers usually have that kind of desire, right? That feeling of... aish, I don't even know how to describe it." He shook his head, but the older put his thumb over the younger's lips, cupping lightly his chin.

Junhui looked up at MingHao and smiled, he slid his finger over the younger's lips. "The desire of kissing, touching, you mean that one?" He smirked, getting lost inside MingHao's arms, he let go of his lips and leaned his head on the younger's shoulder, staring in awe at how perfect every little feature of his face looked, from his jaw, to his eye corner, to his hairline.

"Yes... I don't know why, but I can't feel it, and it's been stressing me out..." MingHao couldn't even look at his hyung, he stared at the wall in front of them while talking, but he still caressed the boy's head. "I really want to have that feeling, but I don't, even if I feel something for you... but, is it really love if I can't feel the lust first?"

JunHui sat up, looking deeply into the younger's gaze, but still wrapping his arms around his waist. "What are you talking about? Of course you can love someone without lust. It's called platonic love." He affirmed, smiling at the boy with a glint in his eyes, caressing gently his cheek.

MingHao looked at his own lap, then looked back at his hyung's eyes, staring into them. "Please, give me time... I mean, we can try and go around on our free time, I mean... on a date?" MingHao suddenly turned kind of nervous, even if he hardly became nervous for himself. He guessed it was hard for anyone to ask out their loved one on a date.

JunHui chuckled, and MingHao loved that. After all, his little crush for the older could've turned out to be love, and it was amazing.

"Sure we can... but aren't you even curious? Of how it feels to be kissed? To be held? Because... I do." JunHui turned the darkest shade of red, his heart suddenly started to race and his face heated up like an oven.

But MingHao shook his head.

"You know what," the older boy spoke up, chuckling "I want so much to kiss you, but I can't, because then I would just want more and more..." *twice stans where u at?*

MingHao smiled timidly as his face turned all red, he looked down at his lap because he couldn't handle the older's loving gaze. JunHui caressed the younger's head, staring at the gentle features once again. "I will wait for you, doesn't matter if it's a day or my whole life."
