dear stranger.
Fɪɴɢᴇʀs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ gloam grasped the youth like a phantom lover, tracing his wintry complexion and kissing his wide eyes with its wash of pale heliotrope. He wove his way with crimeless intentions and childlike excitement by his either side through the opulent tapestry of the sector filled with unknown faces that were made-up with affliction, bliss or something in between before he tossed his head back to look at the crepuscular sky where he could outline an emerging constellation.

He found it rather small but nevertheless pleasant especially when there was not a lot of people, allowing him to pick up on everything much easier and it was then that he caught sight of the one he wanted to see. "Lu Han!" A soft, innocent cry and bony arms stretched out once their eyes met, beckoning the other male for a hug. "Did you miss me?"
