❝why are you so fixated with the night sky?❞ minghao takes late night walks at 8:00pm only to meet a handsome stranger who has a fascination with the night sky --- started: 22/05/2020 ended: 08/06/2020 edited: --

Since having woken up with amnesia, Jihoon's whole world has turned kind of grey. He feels like he's losing it where he's at, living at home with all his favorite people and feeling like a total stranger - so he leaves. Buys a ticket and takes the first train out to his family's old country home. He needs time alone, he thinks, time away from everyone and everything. The world doesn't care about his agenda, though, and neither does Soonyoung. The two meet and Jihoon can't help getting strung along with the other boy, and little by little, he starts to realize that maybe being alone wasn't what he really needed. (in which jihoon is super angsty n sad and soonyoung comes along to make him feel better - but there's a little more to the story than he knows)

If you were to ask Soonyoung, he'd tell you that love - romantic, mind you - is a sham. It never works, it's a waste of time, there's no point in trying. If you were to ask Soonyoung, he'd tell you he's perfectly happy without the added stress. Oh, but Jihoon? He's really pretty, Soonyoung would be lying if he said he wasn't, and he's so kind. Interesting and talented, too, maybe, with a little extra something that's enough to make Soonyoung's heart beat fast. He can't say he's ever met someone like that, before. Jihoon makes lovely pictures with his lovely paints. Jihoon lets Soonyoung watch him, sometimes. Jihoon can make art out of nothing, and maybe that applies to more than just a blank canvas.

Not much has changed. Jihoon still likes those long talks, the sight of Soonyoung climbing through his window at night. He still lets Soonyoung read him his horoscope every morning. That list of documentaries is dwindling, but that's okay. Jihoon still loves Soonyoung - his kind, starry-eyed Soonyoung - and Soonyoung loves him. Oh, but the stars are dimming; oh, the moon loses a bit of its glow with each passing night. The year is ending and who knows what else - and Jihoon's never been so scared of the dark, but he knows what he's willing to do to make it through the night. He knows who he'd cross the universe for. He just hopes he isn't alone in that sentiment. [part 2 to moonwatcher - you may want to read that before starting on this, if you haven't already!]

Jihoon's got a starlit heart and a laugh that sounds like Saturn, and Soonyoung is painfully besotted. Or, the one where Soonyoung is a space / astrology enthusiast who's head over heels for his best friend.

"I kissed a boy," Wonwoo says. He said it without much thought other than that he kissed a certain Chinese sophomore in the room.

"Aren't you a little old for trick or treating?" "Yeah, but those two over there forced me into doing this, so... Trick or treat," the teen dully smiles, two fake, sharp canines poking out. Minghao chuckles, holding the bowl out to the teen.

seventeen ship shots (marking it as completed till I have time to update again lmao)

Jihoon, drawn in tired lines, finds him every night; bright and gentle with a moonlit smile.
