The only light in my room was the screen of my chromebook as it displayed my week old essay unfinished. I was a big procrastinator and nothing really egged me to keep working, unless it was art related. I would have been a lost cause.

I tapped impatiently as I typed random words and phrases in order to meet the word limit. My eyes glanced towards the time clock and it was only 3 in the morning.

I sighed annoyed knowing I'm only going to get no more than three hours of sleep. 'Just finish this sentence and then you can turn it in' I told myself as I fixed my posture in my chair and lifted my head.

I placed my fingers against the keyboard and in a split second that passed, I was knocked out cold against the keyboard.

My eyes were shut closed and my mind began to feel calm and relaxed. I was screaming at myself to wake up but my body wouldn't budge at all. I mentally sighed and gave in to the sleep that I desperately needed.

-

My mind began to run with a bunch of random scenes and events trying to form a dream to settle with. Until, a scene of a river was shown.

I looked around only seeing huge rocks and mountains. A river fall was brightly lit as the moon was the only source of light. The hues were a bunch of blues and purples.

I stepped forward and looked down. I was barefoot and the cold grass felt nice against my skin. I took another step and sighed softly. I looked back up and almost jumped in surprise.

A male was in the river fall. He was sitting against one of the big rocks looking towards the blue moon. I walked until I was at the edge of the cliff. I slid down carefully and let my feet swing loosely.

I looked more closely towards the male. He was very tall and long. He had grey hair swept to a side. Suddenly, I looked towards my hands and my drawing pencil and sketchbook appeared.

I looked back at the male and looked down. I turned towards an empty piece of paper and started to sketch this unknown man.

I kept switching back from the male towards my paper, without him noticing my presence at all. He had very sharp cat like eyes which were an odd shade of green. It was such a contrast with his hair.

When I finished my drawing, I looked back at the boy, but he wasn't there. My eyes began to scan around the area trying to search for him but then the scenery began to crumble beneath me. I yelled in panic but no sound came out.

-

"(Y/n)! Wake up you're ruining your essay! Are we going out or not?" A sudden voice said making me shoot my eyes wide open and gasp loudly.

"What? Had a nightmare? Cmon get up" Yaku shouted again as he walked back and forth from my closet towards his own deciding on what to wear. I rubbed my eyes open and looked towards the wall clock.

"I slept for seven hours..wait! Fuck I missed my 6 am class, shit!" I shouted as I scrambled off my seat. Yaku immediately stood in front of me and placed a soft hand on my chest.

"It's okay dude. I emailed your professor that you got sick. Just don't miss your night class" I sighed softly and threw my arms around the smaller male. "Yaku-San you're a life saver!" I said making him blush under me.

"Stop it! You're like a big baby! Now Cmon you're going to make Kuroo and kenma Wait even longer!" Yaku said and I nodded. I slipped on a simple oversized hoodie with tight jeans. I matched my shoes with my hoodie and looked at Yaku.

He was wearing one of my hoodies as well since he complains that he can never find good clothes in his size. "I'll go start the car" Yaku said and I thanked him. I went back to my chromebook and managed to erase the random letters that I wrote from the previous night and saved the draft.

I closed the top and my eyes slowly wandered towards my sketchbook. 'What if...' I thought to myself as my hands gripped the book and slowly scanned through the sheets of paper trying to find something.

"Wah!! How is this possible!?" I shouted as I came across the paper. There it was. The sketch of the unknown male. I brought a finger and touched the lines, scared that I might smudge any part of it.

"This is so fucking weird" I said as I closed the book and placed it back and left my room with an uneasy feeling. I don't have any idea as to what I should be feeling at the moment.

-

"Gah! Sorry we kept you waiting for so long! This idiot fell asleep against his work again" Yaku whined and complained at the same time. Kuroo snorted and Kenma only rolled his eyes as he turned his phone off giving us his full attention.

"Don't worry Yaku, it's not unusual anymore" Kuroo said as he moved two drinks towards us. I took mine and thanked them as I slipped my wallet out.

Kenma softly placed a hand on top of mine and shook his head. "Don't worry about it, (y/n)" he said giving me a little smile. "Fuck! Kenma you can't just do that to me!" I shouted as I held a hand close to my heart.

"What?! How come you can give him a smile but not to me??" Kuroo said awfully offended. Kenma sighed as he turned to Kuroo and gave him the same smile he gave me. Kuroo yelped as he also held a hand onto his heart and clung to it tightly.

"Okay! Can we start now?" Yaku asked and we all turned and nodded. I took out my phone and went to my gallery ready to show my sketches and ideas as well.

Kuroo and Yaku are in a duo band and they would ask me for help to visualize their music videos and album covers. In return, they would help me in being models for my art that I publish publicly or in general, just paying me money.

For Kenma, he's a worldwide known youtuber, so he would ask me to help him with animations or profile icons from time to time. He would also pay me money or he would sponsor the shit out of me in his channel.

"Okay so for your album cover, I was thinking more of a typical picture of both of you standing next to each other in some sort..."

-

"Man, my back is so sore~" I whined as Yaku and I finally reached home. "I know it hurts but you can't go to sleep remember" Yaku said as he slipped his shoes off and headed to his room to change off his clothes.

I looked down at my phone and groaned. I had about two hours until my night class. I walked over to our couch and fell on it harshly.

My head subconsciously fell backwards and my muscles felt so relaxed. A warm smile was on my face as my brain suddenly started to slip towards sleep mode.

"(Y/n)! Don't sleep just yet! Here, eat this" Yaku said as he softly walked over to me and set down a bowl in front of me on the coffee table.

It was a simple ramen dish and I smiled widely. "Thank you Yaku-San! I owe you one" I said as I composed myself back up and started to dig in.

Yaku sighed as he crossed his arms across his chest. "You owe me a lot of things, idiot" with that he left to his room to do whatever he needed to do.

-few days later-

Every night, after that certain dream of that boy, he keeps appearing in my dreams no matter what it was.

And in every dream, I would have a sketch of this said boy. And in every night that passes, we get closer and closer. Until, one night, he was right in front of me.

I still remember the dream very vividly. His green eyes were piecing against mine. His look was so fierce making me more nervous as the seconds passed.

"Were you the one drawing those drawings?" He suddenly said making me jump in shock. I looked down at my hands at the new sketch that was left unfinished due to his sudden appearance.

His voice was awfully soothing for such a strange male. "Yes I have. Do you want me to stop?" I asked the male meeting his eyes in the process. He flinched and shook his head no.

"No. I really like them. I hung them in my room" he said with a smile. A few flowers bloomed next to me and the sun appeared on the corner of the sky making us earn more color on our skin.

"You are a real person? You're not just a thing my mind made up due to my loneliness?" I asked surprised to know that this boy was an actual human outside of my dreams.

"Yes. Im a college student" he said as he brought his hands out. His college merch appeared in his hands. A simple sweatshirt displayed the name.

My eyes couldn't make it out though. "What does it say? It's blurry in my eyes" I said. He looked down towards it and his eyes widened as well. "I can't read it..too" he said in a whisper.

I laughed slightly earning a shocked expression on this males face. "I guess the universe doesn't want us to meet yet" he smiled at my comment and his sweatshirt vanished away.

"Can I know your name?" He asked after a few seconds. I opened my lips but then the dream started to leave once again. We quickly met eyes and I shouted my name as he did as well.

I saw his lips move and I felt my words leave mine as well. So why couldn't I hear his name? Ever since that dream, we kept talking and those sorts of things but we couldn't reveal anything from ourselves that would give us away.

The universe wouldn't let us.

-

"(Y/n)! Again?! When are you never sleeping? Kuroo said he met this cool guy so he wants us to meet him" Yaku said as he walked over and lifted the blanket off of my sleeping body.

I groaned as I tried to pull the blanket backwards towards myself but Yaku had a strong grip on it. "NUH uh! If you wake up now, I'll buy you one of those cookies they sell!" He said making me wake up abruptly.

"Okay!~thanks Yaku-San!" I said as I stood and quickly changed and went into the bathroom to clean up. In a few minutes, I exited the room and went back to my room.

I shoved my shoes on and looked towards the sketchbook that was on the top of my desk. I walked over to it and opened to the sketch from my dream. It was left unfinished just like in the dream.

I sighed sadly. 'I really hope I meet him soon' I said as I heard Yaku lightly yell at me to hurry. "I'm coming!!"

-

"Soo how cool is this guy?" I asked Yaku as we drove to our usual hangout spot, which was a coffee place. "The guy is a music major and he's really tall" Yaku said as he took a turn.

"You sure he's tall? Maybe he's taller than you Yaku!" I said as I fake gasped earning me a harsh slap to my thigh. "Ouch!" I whined in pain.

"Serves you right, dumbass!" Yaku shouted as he pulled up to a parking spot and placing the car in park. I stepped out and fixed my hair a little and closed the door.

"Hope he's cool with Kenma" I told Yaku and he nodded as we walked towards the place. "Of course. If he isn't, than it's a no from me" he said as I opened the door letting him go first. "I agree".

-

We walked in and scanned lightly and saw the top of Kuroos bed hair and walked over to the booth. The more closer we got, the more nervous I got for some reason.

"Hey, you okay? You're breathing quite erratic?" Yaku asked as we got closer and closer. "Y-yeah I'm oka-" I said until we stopped in front of Kuroo, Kenma and the stranger.

Yaku slipped in the booth and suddenly eyes were on me. The stranger looked towards me and his eyes shot wide open as well. "Holy shit!-" I shouted and Yaku slapped my arm harshly. "There's kids here!"

"Can you give us a few minutes?" The male said as he stepped out of the booth and took my hand and escorted us outside. "Okay? What's that about?" Kuroo said as he took a sip from his drink.

Yaku shrugged his shoulders and Kenma only grunted in response.

-

We were in an empty bench beside the coffee place where the public can't see us. We sat in silence for a bit until I cleared my throat.

"I..uh didn't know we were going to meet like this" i said with a soft laugh. The stranger snorted as well making me feel warm inside. "Me either, uhh.."

"Oh! I'm (y/n)" I said as I turned to him and held my hand out. He smiled and took my hand in his. His large hand hugged my hand. "I'm Lev. The boy of your dreams" he said with a wink.

I blushed harshly and smiled. "That was smooth, you idiot" he laughed and smiled softly. "It's great to finally meet you. I've wanted to for so long" he admitted as our hands were still grasped together.

"Yeah. I feel the same of course. I don't know what to believe if I knew you weren't even real" I said as he moved our hands to linking our hands together tightly, making me blush lightly.

"I really enjoyed your drawings of me. I look really pretty in them. I actually do have them in my room" he said as his thumb softly ran across the back of my hand.

"Can't wait to go see them myself" I said earning a laugh from the man himself. He turned to look at me and I followed his guide as well.

"I'm really happy we got to meet. It feels like I've known you for so long" Lev said as his eyes never left mine for a second. I felt the familiar warm feelings inside me once again.

"Can I ask for a favor before we go back inside?" I asked Lev as he nodded his head for me to continue. I shyly looked down at my feet.

"Can I...hug you?" I asked nervously and lev only responded with a chuckle. "Of course, you don't have to ask anymore (y/n)!" He said in a childlike manner.

He untwined our hands and opened his arms very big allowing me all the space to get into. I shuffled inside and he closed his arms tightly around my body.

He dropped his head next to my neck as my arms snaked around his neck and pulled him closer to me. He gripped my back tightly as I could hear his breathing.

He exhaled nervously and inhaled as well. I could feel and hear his voice become shaky and nervousness was evident in his breathing. I lightly tapped his back.

"Lev? You okay?" I asked softly only earning Lev halting his breathing for a second. He didn't answer but his grip around me got even tighter.

"I'm..just so happy...to have met you...(y/n)" he said and as in cue, he started to cry softly onto my shoulder. I flinched as my hands quickly pulled him away from me.

"Hey, hey what's wrong? Did I do something?" I asked as my hands held onto his cheeks as I examined him lightly.

His hands grasped mine that were on his face and shook his head. "I'm crying...because I'm happy..dummy!" He said with a smile. I relaxed a little as I wiped his tears off with a smile.

"Lev you're so precious. Come here" I said as I pulled him onto my arms and cradled him softly as he continued to softly cry against me.

BONUS:

"What took you guys so long??" Yaku asked as we came back in after a while. "Oh! Uh we were caught up with uhm..." I looked at Lev for some help and he nodded.

"He was showing me some art of his to get an idea of his work!" He said proudly making me mentally smile. Yaku shrugged as he moved a little giving me space to sit next tot him. Lev sat next to me as well since we had more space because Yaku is so small.
