Waiting… waiting…. Great. He hated airports. All this to go see his best friend, Jinx!

He stood in the bustling departures lounge, people fleeting by in an organised chaos, how many faces had he seen that he’ll never see again by now? One hundred? One thousand maybe? Far too many.. the airport scent was almost sickening, the sound was overwhelming what with all the rattling luggage trolleys and idle chatter of other passengers, the thought of overpriced airport food driving his weary body mad. Why did he book such an early flight? Damn….

As his dark eyes flickered from his phone to the departure screen then back again. When his eyes dared to look back at the flickering departure screen of this run down airport, they stopped mid way.

The most beautiful person he’d ever seen… he thought things like this only came in movies, but here he was. He couldn’t tear his gaze away no matter how hard he tried… he was star struck…

Eventually, he kicked his ass back into gear and went off to board his plane. Shuffling awkwardly through the overly cramped plane, he finds his seat. Only, when he looks at his row… that person is there… you were getting comfortable in your seat, getting your devices ready for the flight. You noticed his stare and offered a friendly smile as he sat down
