candy colored pens and shapeless doodles walking on paper lines meant for school notes. it was the time that had them come alive on the page, dancing to the tik tok sound of the clock hanging high above all their heads and mocking their tired minds. soulless eyes stared up at that clock, like so many days before and for so many more days to come.

a purple tiger ran across the top of the page, jumping over the numbers and swerving around formulas. his lips turned up into a smile, adding a yellow crown on top of the tigers head.

he picked up another one of the pens that glittered when written with, it matched the faded pink of his own hair. there was no time to add the flowers and blossoms on trees his mind was imaginary, a little world hidden in the chemistry notebook for his eyes only, because the bell rang.

everyone left their desks so quick, no one waiting to hear the last words of their instructor as footsteps and excited chatter drowned out those words.

kim taehyung put his pens away in their box, each having their own specific spot and even that box itself having a certain place in his bag. the straps fit snug on his shoulders, creasing the nice button down he wore. it was open a bit, revealing a tan chest and pretty necklaces layered together in dainty chains and charms. taehyung was stunning, everyone knew so, and he was one of the nicest people in school, everyone knew that too.

he smiled politely at some fellow students in the hall, but the boy was only looking for a specific man amongst the bodies swarming the school. they were like flies trying to escape, just lame attempts that ended in bumping into glass and not being able to leave fast enough. taehyung saw the group of jocks by the locker room doors, a particularly taller one with his letterman jacket and duffel in hand.

the quickening of his steps was habit by now, he pretty boy always excited to seen the jock after his classes. they didn't have any of the same ones, which usually made taehyung upset, but he did his best to see his boyfriend whenever he had the chance.

"seojoon!" the boy grinned as his arms wrapped around the taller jocks waist, hugging him tight in greeting. he wasn't surprised at taehyungs greeting, and neither was the rest of the football team standing there. they said their goodbyes to leave the couple alone, or as alone as they could be in a crowded school hallway. "hey babe." seojoon kept his arm around taehyungs shoulders as they walked.

"how was english?" the pink haired boy asked, knowing his boyfriend schedule as usual. taehyung knew the older wasn't the best academically, since he was relying on sports to get him into a college. he tried to help him study, but those nights usually ended differently than planned with the books on the floor and their bodies in the bed. "it was dumb." seojoon said, "and i cant go to the library later, i'm meeting the guys at the gym."

taehyung frowned, the disappointment clear on his face knowing their plans were being changed again. "can i come watch?" he asked.

"you probably won't have fun." seojoon said. they had left the building, following the flies out the gates to the great outdoors and to freedom. taehyung felt the warmth on his cheeks from the sun, but it was odd next to the coldness from beside him. his boyfriend took his arm off his shoulders to grab his car keys, "we can do something this weekend probably." seojoon didn't wait for a response as he tossed his duffel bag into the passenger side of his sports car, kissing the boy goodbye before disappearing just as quick.

"bye." taehyung said as the car zoomed away, cutting someone else off in the process and the sounds of swearing tossed out windows.

he was still watching the parking lot long before seojoons car left, and his gaze only wavered when there was a honk to get his attention. the bmw stopped right in front of taehyung, just for the window to roll down and his big brother to smile wide at him. "come on i'm starving."

taehyung didn't need to be told twice as he ran around the front and into the passenger side as always. most people found it embarrassing to be a senior and still get picked up from school, but taehyung always looked forward to seeing his brother pull up with that same grin and contagious attitude.

"are you paying?" taehyung asked. he put his books on the floor of the car and immediately started changing the radio stations.

namjoon rolled his eyes and peeled out of the parking lot. more honks and more swears.

they found themselves at a common fast food place, greasy burgers and fries making home in their tummies minutes later without much of a breath in between bites. "stop touching the buttons you monkey." namjoon swatted his little brothers hands away from the radio, seeing a greasy spot covering the 7.

"stop eating fast food and going to the gym right after to burn it off." taehyung shot back, "just enjoy the taste." he smiled and shoved another handful of fries passed pretty lips. the light gloss he normally wore had been wiped off many bites ago, but here was still a trace of vanilla flavor mixed with the ketchup.

namjoon glared at his brother and slowed to a stop in front of their home, tall gates and a long driveway that led up to larger doors and empty rooms. "just get out and say thank you."

"thank you!" taehyung picked up his books and balanced the bag of fast food on top as he waved his brother away. namjoon worked out at the same gym as his boyfriend, everyday after picking him up and dropping him off at school. he said it was nice to wind down after a day's work at the market.

taehyung knew no one would be there to greet him once he got home, both parents working and the housekeeping staff only coming on tuesdays and thursday's. the only good thing about it was not being scolded for the fast food in his system when there was better options waiting at home. it was quiet and his footsteps echoed on the marble floor, a pretty color that contrasted nicely his tan skin and dark pants.

he went straight up the stairs and dropped his books on the couch sitting against the well in his bedroom, the backpack following on the floor. taehyung climbed onto his king sized bed with the leftover fast food, his soda balanced in the crook of his arm while he reached for the remote.

it was routine, 4 pm rolling around and his phone rang as usual, the same name lighting up on the screen and waiting to be heard. taehyung smiled, answering his best friend and leaning back against the pillows. "i finished my fries." jimin said, the phone so close to his face and the subtle freckles very clear. angel kisses, that's what taehyung called freckles.

"you always do." taehyung said, turning on the television and picking up his own fries. they had the same show on, a runway one that came on at 4 pm everyday and they'd watch the skinny models while they ate burgers and fries and anything else that tasted good.

"whatever," jimin said with a mouthful of burger, "what time are you going to the library?"

"i'm not, seojoon cancelled on me." taehyung said. the topic made his stomach fall again, but he tried to think of the goodbye kiss and the meal in his lap and he felt a little better. they'd see each other at lunch tomorrow anyways. jimin however, he just scoffed, "so surprising."

"shut up."

jimin gasped at that, holding a hand to his chest and opening his mouth to say something dramatic, but taehyung cut him off. "do you want to go to the gym with me tomorrow?" the boy with faded pink hair asked.

"do i look like i want to go to the gym." jimin asked his best friend.

"namjoon will be there."

"what time should i be ready."

taehyung grinned, and he continued eating his fries with a smug look on his face. tuesdays were his favorite day of the week, he had no chores and no plans usually, hours waiting to be filled with activities and ideas. tomorrow would be the gym, with his best friend and his boyfriend and then maybe they could all do something afterwards.

such little things to look forward to when there really wasn't much else around.
