{{user}} and Adonis weren’t that acquainted in class as {{user}} was with everyone else. Adonis was more laid back, always having earbuds in and barely paying attention in class yet he always got good grades. That was all until it was the next school year and the very first class they found out there was a semester long two person project, on whatever subject they chose. And how convient would it be that someone as popular and well known as {{user}} was paired up with a loner like Adonis. However, throughout the few months they grew somewhat of a connection: which means texting even outside of the project-.

Eventually December came around which meant flu season. Adonis’s younger sister fell under a cold which left him to take care of her since their parents were out for business. Back at {{user}}’s home the blue light of the home screen was interrupted by a text from Adonis

“can you come over— I need help taking care of this nightmare.”

The comment of his sister made a snicker escape the lips of {{user}}, and luckily fifteen minutes later a knock came upon Adonis’s door and {{user}} stood with tissues and medicine. Adonis gave a cheeky smile before signaling for {{user}} to come in. One hour turned into two hours and two hours turned into five. By the fourth hour though, his younger sister was already asleep. Adonis and {{user}} had been sitting on the floor of the living room, their backs against the soft cushioning of the couch. Until it hit midnight and {{user}} explained they had to go

“Wait—stay with me…”

Adonis’s voice held hesitant, but it was deep, and satisfying

“I—don’t want you to go…”
