"I Like Tao" Yifan scoffed and rolled his eyes. "yeah, sure."

He stomped up the stairs and shut the spare bedroom door behind him. Most people were starting to leave the party now and Yifan was glad because he was bored, tired and annoyed.

'This party was boring anyway.'

Yifan jumped onto the bed and lay staring at the ceilling. "who does he think he is telling me who i like..."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Yifan sat up. He was already annoyed as it was, he really didnt need Junmyeon to try and explain. He will deal with that tomorrow, right now he just wanted to be alone!

"I'm alseep!" he shouted with annoyance "come back Tomorrow!"

"if you're alseep then why are you talking?" a small voice came from the door.

'Thats not Suho..?'

"can i come in?" the voice spoke again.

'ah of course...' Yifan thought. He knew who it was and that made him angrier. He didn't know if he was angrier because he knew who it was or because he secretly wanted to let him in.

"no. go away Tao." He replied "i'm not in the mood"

"mood for what?"

"to see people"

"i'm not people"

Yifan sighed "then what are you?"

"i'm a person." Zitao's giggle could be heard faintly behind the door. "theres only one of me"

"one too many"

"hey!"

Yifan let out a laugh which actually surprised him. He mentally cursed himself but got up anyway and walked to the door.  Yifan opened the door to see Zitao standing, a plastic plate in hand with two small cakes on.

Zitao smiled hopefully "You normally don't let me in unless I have food, so..."

Yifan hesitated before making way for the boy to come in. Zitao gave them brightest smile before skipping in and sitting on the edge of the bed. Yifan sat next to him, once he had shut the door, and lay back. After Zitao watched him lie down behind him, he did the same, placing the plate of cakes on his stomach.

"Why'd you come up so early?" Zitao asked.

"No reason"

"Oh okay.."

"How about you?" Yifan turned his head to face the younger "Why'd you come up?"

Zitao returned the gaze. He tried to read Yifans expression but it was unreadable. The older seemed to look at him softly which made him smile.
"It was boring without you. Everyone's starting to go home now. "

Yifan let out a chuckle. "Am I that amazing?"

"Don't flatter yourself" Zitao nudged his arm as he laughed. But it was actually hard for him not blush even a little bit; Zitao did think that of Yifan.

"Admit it, though. I am, aren't I?"

"Why do I have to admit it? You'll tell yourself you are anyway, whatever I say"

"Does that mean you don't agree?"

"..no." Zitao paused. "Not really"

"You mean no you don't agree? Or no, you agree?"

Zitao pulled a face—this was getting a bit confusing now. "No, I agree?.." he said  unsure with what he was saying anymore.

"That's good." Yifan smiled and looked back up the ceiling. "You're not so bad yourself either"

"Thank you.."

The room fell quiet again and Zitao sat up. He picked up a cake and took a bite, hoping another conversation would form as the atmosphere felt slightly awkward today.

Meanwhile Yifan was thinking. Thinking about what junmyeon said earlier. Thinking about whether he did have a small like towards the younger. Thinking about whether maybe Zitao might have liked him back.
I mean it was, He supposed, funny that Zitao was basically everywhere he was and followed him wherever— almost as if he was actually attached to Yifan.

"Don't eat them both" Yifan slowly sat up. "Save me one at least"

"Yah, What are you trying to say?" Zitao looks over his shoulder, half a cake in his hand.

"That you're greedy. In fact..." Yifan suddenly reached forward and grabs the rest of the cake left in the youngers hand and shoved it into his own mouth.
"Ill take that." He muffled, mouth full of food.

Zitao smacked Yifan until he is lying back down on the bed. "Ya—what the hell! I saved you this one!" He points at the other on the plastic plate. "Why did you eat mine!?"

Yifan simply shrugged with a smirk.

"Ugh. I can't believe you Gege"

"Just eat the other one then if you're going to be like this"

"Be like this—?!"

"Yes. Now go on. Before I eat that too"

Zitao didn't brake his glare from Yifan. And before he knew it Yifan was up again and grabbing the second cake. Zitao didn't bother to move as he didn't care anymore—not like he was bothered that he didn't get to finish that cake... of course not.
Meanwhile, Yifan wasn't putting the cake to his lips, instead , he was putting it to the youngers.

"Wha-?"

"Shut up. Just eat it" Yifan said in a surprisingly quiet but calm voice.

Zitao felt a sudden rush of heat and nervousness as the older didn't take his eyes off him but nonetheless opened his mouth and began to chew.

After he chewed his last and final bite, Yifan backed away.

"Well damn"

•••

Sehun was at Luhans door, the older on the step making them the same height (only just). Sehun had his arms wrapped around Luhans waist while their lips were connected with each other. Luhans hands were on Sehuns face as they did so, cupping his cheeks. It was pretty dark outside and they cuouldnt see much apart from where the small streetlights created a tiny bit off light.

"You sure I can't stay longer?" Sehun hummed against his lips once he pulled away slightly-ever so slightly. "I if we go inside I'll be able to see you better."

Luhan chuckled and pressed his forehead against Sehuns. "No. You should go home. Get some rest and then maybe we can meet again tomorrow"

"But why~?" Sehun whined. "Why go all that way just to sleep and see you again tomorrow.., when I can rest here... with you" at this point Luhan wasn't really looking at the younger but he didn't need to as he could practically hear the boy smirk.

"You can't stay heree!" Luhan shouted in a whisper in return, almost like others were around them. "Not yet at least..."

"So there will be a time when—"

"When, yes, you may stay for a whole night" Sehun smiled and kissed Luhan on the cheek. "See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." Sehun unlaced his hands from behind Luhans back and stepped away from the older. "Goodnight, luhannie~" he said, making a small finger heart next to his cheek.

"Goodnight " Luhan grinned as he waved to the boy.

As Sehun got further away, he still carried on making little actions without turning around away from Luhan. "Please sleep well!" He shouted from afar.
"Dream of me!". And with that Sehun walked off into the darkness.

"What?" Zitao asked "what's wrong?"

"N-nothing. Just—"

"Yes?"

"Can I test something?"

"Kris ge.." zitao said with concern. "Test what?"

"I promis—I just—I'll explain it later, okay?" Yifan stared at zitao waiting for a response, which only made him more nervous. "Do you trust me?"

Zitao gulped. 'That is a big question' Zitao licked his lips before nodding. "Yes why?"
