Zander was taking a stroll around the town, because of boredom when suddenly his brother called. *Ring, Ring* "yes?" He answered slipping one of his hands in his pockets. "Brother, when are you going back?" His big brother spoke. "I'll go home in... *Checks his watch* in 2 hours". "Brother, remember you need to go home before our curfew. or else" his brother's voice became cold at the last sentence. "Yes, I will" he replied coldly, *hangs up*. "What's wrong with me?" He says tearing up a bit. He continues to walk, lost in thought. But in the process of thinking, He bumped into someone. "Sorry" He bowed his head slightly, his long hair was blown back, allowing the one he bumped into see his face. His face was—beautiful, long lashes, deep blue eyes, but something was missing. "Your eyes, why are they dead inside?" Chase said without realizing. Zander was taken aback by what Chase had said, he was glad though—glad that someone noticed his pain. Meanwhile, Chase was embarrassed. He didn't mean to say it out loud. "Ohh shit, sorry I didn't mean to blurt that out!! Promise!! Sorry" he says looking down, too embarrassed to look Zander in the eyes. *Chuckles* "really, thanks for noticing...I guess". Saying that he left. But as he was about to turn around Chase spoke "What's your name?" He asks innocently. Zander stared at him for a bit, analyzing his eyes— his eyes were pure, soft, shining, and glowing. Unlike his, his eyes were— empty, no shine, just pure loneliness. "Zander" Chase smiled abruptly and said "My name's Chase!!" He smiles at Zander excitedly. "Mhm.. I'll get going now". Chase just nooded ~he's handsome, but, he looks broken...almost too broken~ he frowned remembering what Zander said (really, thanks for noticing...I guess) ~I'll just see him at college~ -Note: Chase knows Zander because they study at the same university. But, Zander doesn't since he mostly spends his time at the library.
Timeskip-
Zander now returned home, instead of eating he ran to his room and locked it hurriedly -Note: you will know the reason, later in the story- ~phew, nobody saw me right?~ he thought breathing heavily, while he goes to his room to cook -Note: of course he is rich🙄 he has a WHOLE FUCKING KITCHEN in his room-

By now, Zander was on his way to school but stopped. When he suddenly saw a boy crying, He didn't really care but he got curious so he took a look well, maybe just a glance. Zander stared at the crying boy and then realizes it was Chase. "Hey, Chase...What happend?" the boy only looked up and stared at Zander with wide eyes, he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve and acted as if nothing had happened. "Oh, nothing....you..Do you wanna go to school together?" "Sure" Zander barely spoke with Chase on the way. He wasn't comfortable just yet, but he answered Chase's questions, the questions were dumb. Some of Chase's questions were—"do you think pillows have dreams at night?" "Can you sneeze with your eyes open?". To be honest, Zander enjoyed Chase's company. His lips would sometimes curve into a smile in secrecy. He also finds Chase's questions silly and adorable. Some time later they both arrived at school, Chase looked up at Zander since Zander was taller than him and said "We've arrived, I almost didn't notice!! Hehe" He said while smilling at Zander. "Mhm.." Zander nooded at Chase while staring at him for a bit making Chase confused "Is there something on my face😰" Chase said looking panicked as hell. "No, nothings wrong. Just lost in thought, like usual..." Zander coldly responded.
"You know, you should say what's on your mind sometimes.." He hesitates then continues "I've been observing you.. you always have a lot in your mind. I get sad a little bit, when I look into your eyes, because your eyes have so much... Pain" Zander's eyes widened, someone noticed! And it makes him happy, but it was breaking him. "Y-you n..noticed?" He said eyes still wide in shock, His hands shoke, legs trembled. But, still...He looked calm. Only Chase noticed "Honestly, I read people easily... You can open up to me!! If you're comfortable of coure!!" He smiled genuinely and that made Zander a little bit weak on his knees, though he didn't know why. "Uhm...I think we should go now" he turned his head at Chase "ohh yeah!! Let's go!" Zander couldn't help but smile faintly at Chase, and little did he know Chase noticed his smile. "You smiled!! Wahh!" He says with shinning eyes "No, I didn't" Zander tried to deny it, but it was no use against Chase "You look handsome smilling!!, you look more alive, free, and happy" Chase said excitedly "let's go" Zander said embarrassed "Mhm Let's go!!" Chase said at Zander but he realizes that something was a bit off. "Zander" no response "Zander" he tried again, but Zander didn't say a word. "Zandyy" He grabbed Zander's hand as he pouts while frowning. The sudden touch suddenly woke Zander up from his mind. "Ahh, yeah? What was that?" He looks at their joined hands and blushed "I was calling youu, but you didn't respond" He continues to pout at Zander and glared at him cutely. ~ack! My heart is gonna burst🙃 what's happening to me, Why is my heart beating so fast when he does that~ "We should go" He walked towards the building not wanting to separate his hands with Chase as he tightens his grip—not the rough grip though, His grip was tight but not enough to hurt Chase it was soft, but tight you know the type to not want you to let go. "Okay!! Btw, what's your section?" Chase asks still smiling at Zander "Diamond" Zander responded timidly "Wait! Yayyyy!"
Chase's smile grew wider
