it was 5:30 in the morning on september 7th, the morning of daniels first day of junior year. and while the two lovers were still sleeping, it was only for a second longer.

daniel shifted against corbyn, rolling over. his eyes cracked open and he blinked against total darkness.

the panic was immediate. his eyes watered as his chest tightened considerably.

"no, no, no, no, no" he began to mumble aloud. we he back in his coma, had he ever left?

beside him his boyfriend shifted hearing the panicked boy and immediately went into action.

"dani? it's corbyn. you're okay. you're here, you're awake" the boy rasped before swiftly reaching out for the dim lamp.

it didn't turn on. "fuck!" the light bulb must have gone out.

corbyn reached for one of their phones on the bedside table and turned on the flashlight, facing it towards the boy who was now hyperventilating.

"dani, look at me baby. you're here, i promise you're okay. deep breaths for me" the older made a demonstration for his younger boyfriend to follow.

soon the panic had dissipated and the boy was slumped against the other, holding him tightly.

"go back to sleep, sweetheart. you've got a long day ahead of you" corbyn whispered softly coaxing the boy back to sleep.

the next time daniel woke up there was light shining through the window. it was 7:12 and corbyn was in the shower.

daniel had showered the night before so he wouldn't make excuses and become late for school.

he went over to corbyn's closet and pulled out an outfit in the section he had claimed for when and if he stayed over.

he dressed quickly and admired himself in the long mirror,

suddenly long pale arms were around his waist.

"morning, sweetness. don't you look pretty" the boy mumbled, nibbling daniels ear. the shorter blushed, turning in his boyfriends hold.

"i'm nervous" he said, coming face to chest with corbyn's bare torso. corbyn held both of his small hands, giving him a short smile before dropping one and using the other to spin daniel in a circle

"don't be, love. i'll be with you, so will Jack and Zach." he dipped the boy and brought him back up.

daniel giggled as they began to slow dance through the room, corbyn falling into his own little world.

"i found this song while i was in the shower and i added it to
your playlist, wanna hear it?" corbs asked. daniel simply nodded as the older to his phone out of the pocket of his ripped jeans.

perfect harmony by Charlie
Gillespie and Madison Reyes.

step into my world
bittersweet love story bout a girl
shook me to the core
voice like an angel
never heard before

here in front of me
shining so much brighter than i have ever seen
life can be so mean
but when he goes
i know he doesn't leave

the two had started dancing again, daniels head on corbyn's chest, corbyn's chin resting on daniels head as they spun across the floor.

the truth is finally breaking through
two worlds collide when i'm with you
our voices rising  so so high
we come to life when we're
in perfect harmony

as the song ended, zach knocked on the door. you two love birds almost done? Jack is on his way"

"yeah, we're coming" corbyn responded picking up his bag and walking to the door as daniel giggle.

"what's so funny?" corbyn asked, turning back around.

"you forgot your shirt" the shorter replied and corbyn looked down,

"well it seems you're right. mm, maybe i should match with you today darling" daniel just shrugged and watched as the boy entered his closet and came back dressed in the same colors as daniel.

"okay, let's go"

"okay, let's go"
