it’s a saturday night and xuyi’s mum’s gone out with her friends, telling him she might sleep over at one of their houses so ‘don’t wait up’. being given free reign of their little house he’d done as any teen boy would do and had invited his crush, yuchen, over. over the past few months they’d been spending more and more time together, and something had begun to feel different. every time yuchen looked at him he got this bubbling, tingling feeling in the pit of his stomach that wriggled it’s way along his limbs, all the way to his fingertips.
it didn’t take a scientist to determine xuyi had a crush. everything about yuchen makes him smile; the way his eyes scrunch up when he smiles super wide, the sound of his laugh, the warmth of his body so close beside him, yet still too far away. they seem to have so much in common, yet still have enough differences to make things interesting. but, there’s one big problem.
xuyi isn’t sure if yuchen even likes men. even if he does, there’s no way he’d like a younger guy like xuyi who’s never had a relationship last longer than a couple months, entailing nothing more exciting than a rather pathetic few kisses.
even so, xuyi’s making the most of their evening together. he kits out the living room with chairs circled around a nest of pillows and blankets, sheets thrown over the chairs and fair lights hung up inside. he’d always been good at making blankets forts thanks to his mum making them with him so often when he was young. the living room ready, he orders them some chicken, since he can’t cook, and he knows his mum has a pack of beer she’s unlikely to drink in the fridge that she’d been gifted by someone who didn’t know her alcohol tastes well.
