Chenle did not feel like going to class. Just the thought of it made his head spin and ears ring- or that could just be his cold attacking him- either way, he didn't want to hear about classes. This cold was really taking a toll on his body, he had been bedridden all weekend now.

Now let's explain here, when a fairy falls sick- which is rare- it's not like a human's. Imagine that every time you sneeze a cloud of sparkly glitter shoots out of your nose, mouth, or any opening- wait that sounds weird. Like mentioned, a fairy falling sick is pretty rare, especially in the middle of May- Chenle just happens to have a sucky immune system and he just gets the cold all the times.

As he lays in his bed, paper stuffed in his nose and headphones placed neatly on his head, his duvet wrapped around him like a cocoon. He has made no effort in getting out off bed, only staring at his phone screen that was playing some sort of video. Honestly, he had stopped paying attention a long time ago.

Chenle could message the office or go down to them, living at a boarding school meant being there 24/7 so it was easy getting to class. Again, his body had just gone into a i-am-not-getting-out-off-bed.ever-again state, so he's stuck there.

Loud knocking on the door enters his ears and Chenle croaks out a barely audible come in. Whoever is behind that door wastes no time to storm inside the small room- that is covered in sparkly fairy dust- and just to Chenle's luck, it's Jaemin.

"You should really-" Chenle does not let Jamein finish his sentence as a powerful sneeze shakes his whole body. The two small paper rolls he had stuffed in his nose flies out along with a cloud of pink dust that explodes into the sky. Jaemin stands in silence, just watching as the dust lands on Chenle's bed, he grimaces disgusted.

"Jaemin do you need anything?" Chenle looks up just to see Jaemin pull out his small, black hand vacuum. "Do you really just carry that around?" Chenle takes notice to that his voice is a lot better than last time he heard it. He remembers sounding like he swallowed a frog.

"yes, of course," Jaemin turns it on and starts his cleaning session. When I say 50% of the room covered in dust then I mean it. His chair? pink. Half of his floor? Pink. His bed? Pink. Himself? Pink. Hotel? Trivago.

"Jaemin don't vacuum me!" Chenle shrikes as he ducks away from the demon weapon- his words not mine- and flees to the other side of the room.

The older fairy hums as he continues to clean. He has a satisfied smile on his face as he watches the pink dust vanish into the little machine. Okay, there's another thing we're going to discuss about fairy dust.

Fairy dust comes in all colours, each fairy has their own colour. Not one has the same, it might look like they have the same- NO YOU'RE WRONG- sorry. The shade is different, either a lighter or darker shade. Chenle here has a pink colour, google #FF9ADC and that's his.

Another thing, fairy dust shall not be mistaken for Pixie dust. Pixie dust is edible and tastes amazing- except for the dark red pixies' dust, it's so spicy your tongue will fall off. While fairy dust tastes like shit and will give you a stomach ache for days. Oh right, humans can eat it fine though, only fairies react to it that way. So if you're a fairy and have accidentally ingested some, well better call your GP and get that checked before you have the worst week ahead of you.

Well back to our main character.

Jaemin finally finishes his cleaning session and turns his vacuum off. He turns around to face the younger fairy who looks like shit- to say it nicer, looks like he walked from hell and back six times, then swam with sharks for a week, then stayed on a boat that was rocking too much on the waves. Jaemin swiftly pulls out a surgical mask and throws it at Chenle.

Chenle being a legend catches it and stares with a raised eyebrow at Jaemin

Jaemin rolls his eyes at him and huffs "put it on so you don't spread the Chenle flu, we're meeting a friend of Jeno's today." Two things. One: Chenle flue is originally named Esarkle Etero, it got its new name at their school for how often he got it. Second: Jeno is Jaemin's boyfriend for two years and still going strong, the two are sickly sweet and Chenle wants to punch in his face when he's with them.

he hates third wheeling.

"What about classes?" Chenle says, slipping on the surgical mask. Jaemin points at the calendar behind. It's a digital one. It shows Saturday 12th of May. Oh? It's weekend. "ooo~ where are we going?" Chenle asks grabbing the first shirt he sees and slips it on. Usually, he wouldn't be this quick to agree going out with Jaemin, but after being holed up in this room all week he wants to go.

"At Dunk shot ice cream parlour." Jaemin smiles dreamily, probably remembering his first date with Jeno that he never shuts up about. Chenle mentally gags. Chenle's first date is going to be epic! They're going to go go-karting, then laser tag, and of course play around at the indoor playgrou-

"Chenle, are you coming or not?"

"Jajaja let me get my jacket first asshat!"

___________________

"Nono!" Jaemin yells the second him and Chenle walk into the pastel coloured parlour. Chenle feels heat rise up to his cheeks as people stare at them. Curse Jaemin and his loudness. Yes, Chenle is loud too, not know since he has a fucked up voice and kinda needs it to somehow be able to socially interact with other fairies.

"Nana!" Jeno, who's all the way in the back, waves like a madman. And like any cliche romance movie from high school, Jaemin runs up to him and jumps into his arms(Chenle silently follows after) and they share a kiss or two.

"Jeno not to ruin whatever is going on over there, but I am here too."

A voice Chenle has never in his life heard before pipes up- well that's a total lie. He knows that voice pretty good actually, I mean who wouldn't recognize the voice of their crush? Oi wait a minute- crush!?

Chenle is screaming on the inside but shows no emotion on the outside. He is so glad Jaemin made him wear that surgical mask so his, now soft pink cheeks, are hidden. Park-mothereffing- Jisung is right in front of him here breathing.

"Oh, right forgot about you," Jeno giggles and lets Jaemin sit down first, nearest the wall. Chenle can't comprehend how you can forget about God himself's existence! But one glance at NoMin makes him realize.

"Chenle sit down," Jaemin, a literal demon, smiles and points at the seat beside Jisung. Chenle had as he remembers told(read: ranted) about his tiny crush on Jisung. Nervously Chenle adjusts his mask and sits down beside Jisung, he is mindful to leave a big space between them.

Jisung notices.

"I don't bite," He laughs, literal music to Chenle's ears, and Chenle slowly scoots closer. As he had gotten closer, Jisung takes a quick look at him, a blush rises to his cheeks again, he can feel the stare. "Aren't you that Chenle flu guy?"

Great. His own crush known him for his bad immune system, thanks a lot mom for giving me this He angrily thinks to himself. Jaemin bursts into laughter and Chenle shoots him a glare. Jeno, who goes to another school, is confused though.

Chenle sighs "Yes, that's... me."

An awkward silence settles. It's so awkward Chenle can even hear Jaemin's heartbeat- wait that's his own, oops.

"uh! Let's get this ice cream!" Jeno shouts and stands up, Chenle does too. Because he really wants that ice cream. Jisung and Jaemin follow suit, and like a gang, they waltz up to the counter.

"Yo Mark, the usual!" Jeno, again shouts. Chenle sees one of the workers, he notes that he looks like a baby lion- lion cub?- eh whatever, he looks like a lion that is not grown up. Well, Mark does this hand sign and goes into work.

"Well, Chenle will take two scoops, one vanilla and one caramel dream," Jaemin says to the other worker, damn it might just be the gay in Chenle jumping out, but that guy is glowing. The sun is shaking. "And I'll take two scoops too, one brownie fudge and the other milk and honey~~"

Chenle blacks out a little as he feels a sneeze coming. oh no not now! He holds his breath and pinches his nose. The sneeze goes away, and he sighs in relief.

"Here ya go!" It's Jisung, who's now in front of him. he's holding Chene's ice cream in one hand and that sweet smile on his face that makes Chenle melt like ice cream on a hot summer day.

"Thanks," He grabs it from him with a smile. They, along with Nomin, goes back to their table in the back.

Now that he's eating he has taken up the mask. But not even a second after he takes it up, he sneezes. He didn't even feel it coming, it just came out of nowhere. Okay so Imagine that rubber chicken sound, make it a tiny bit deeper, that Chenle sneezing. Now add glitter.

Yes, glitter.

It's like a glitter bomb went off and everything with them are covered in glitter. The ice cream, and Jisung who happens to be the unlucky victim who got covered in it the most. Chenle is mortified, so he does what any other person would do.

He flees the scene.

Coming back after five seconds to grab his ice cream, the running away again.
