About Cousins and Sleepovers

Yeosang had texted the younger the next morning.

He would have texted him sooner but he was thinking back and forth what had happened at the gym hall. Jongho had been so nervous and insecure, almost as if he was scared of the older. Yeosang had found it somehow cute but he was also feeling bad for the younger.

And he didn't know what had come over him when he ran after the black haired boy and asked him for his number. He didn't expect that Jongho would actually like him or would say yes to a proper date. He didn't even know if the younger was gay or at least bisexual. The boy confused him. At some point he was pretty sure that Jongho had flirted with him. But then again he practically ran from him as soon as the cheerleading practice was over. Yeosang still didn't know what he had said that upset the younger but he really wanted to know more about him. Even if it was just a rejection. He needed clarification.

Jongho had texted him back five minutes after he had hit send. They didn't really get over the barrier of small talk, asking what they would do for the day and similar stuff till Jongho told him that he had to go to practice. Yeosang had practice as well but he was still sad that he couldn't talk with the boy longer.

Yeosang sighed and stood up, wandering around his room to grab some clothes he could wear for vocal training before throwing everything on his chair again and opening his wardrobe. What if I meet Jongho? He wanted that the younger thought that he is pretty and he would definitely not feel pretty in some pants and plain shirt.

He pulled out some beige checkered pants and a light beige blouse what would match beautifully with his dark brown beret and the golden bracelets he wore. Yes, that was more fitting for being called pretty. Not that he thought he would actually meet Jongho. Well, at least he could dream.

When he was finished with changing and putting on light makeup – some foundation, some sparkly eyeshadow, some highlighter and some pink gloss for his lips was enough for now – he grabbed his notes and his bag, put on some black plateau boots and made his way over to the studio. He knew that San would be there as well, he had teaching before Yeosang and always waited for the boy afterwards. He would probably ask him out about everything. He had texted him the last night telling his cousin that he had met Jongho at Cheerleading practice. San, of course, was all over him over text but Yeosang had told him that he would tell him everything today after training.

It was a nice day. There was no cloud in the sky. Yes it was still not as warm as Yeosang would want it (it was still January) but at least it was warm enough for him to wear his favourite jeans jacket. The blonde boy was humming away the song he had to practice for today, looking around at the naked trees, not noticing the small boy coming quickly his way.

The next thing he knew was that he bumped into said boy and fell to the ground.

"Ouch." Yeosang grumbled, rubbing his butt and angrily looking at the boy in front of him. "Can't you look where you are go- Hongjoong?"

The small red head had fallen to the ground as well, one hand on his lower back, the other dusting off his pants, pouting at Yeosang.

"Yah, that's hyung for you, brat. And you were the one that was looking anywhere but the path!" Yeosang stood up and held out a hand for the older, helping him up and fixing the smallers hat. "I-I'm sorry, hyung, I didn't know it was you." He scratched his neck, laughing embarrassed. Hongjoong chuckled and took his bag off the concrete. "Its fine. You're not hurt, aren't you?" He took the younger's hands in his and mustered them, looking for any scratches or bruises. Yeosang shook his head, smiling. "No I'm fine. You also didn't hurt yourself." Hongjoong also shook his head before grinning up to the taller, waving cutely at him. "Ok, when everything is fine I will go, I have to meet with Wooyoung in the atelier to help him with something." The older already took a few steps to continue on his way when Yeosang stopped him.
