that cut through the sky

„What kind of candy do you like?“

The corners of his mouth lifting as he bared his teeth in a breath-taking smile.

„C-Candy?“

The other boy hesitantly asked in a quiet voice, somewhat stuttering over the simple word.

„Yeah, candy!

Y'know, like Pepero or Choco Pies!“

He answered enthusiastically.

„M-My mother doesn't let me eat stuff like th-that.

She said your teeth will rot out if you eat disgusting junk like that.“

The latter said, nervously fidling with his hands

that were previously neatly folded in his lap.

Trying to smooth out his baby blue shorts he kept stuttering and looking down, looking left, looking right, looking pretty much at anything but him.

' That's strange '

He thought to himself.

Parents usually used to say things like those to their children while still young, in hopes of trying to keep them away from the sweet goods as much as possible but, when parents pushed such words onto their children who were probably close to their early twenties it seemed absurd.

As if the boy he was looking at right now had no clue about anything that was going on unless he was told to believe so by his mother.

Silence filled the air around them, just occassional chirps of birds and distand sounds of car engines interrupting it.

The meek boy in front of him shifted in his seat and let out a shaky breath and Chanyeol bit his lip.

„You..You wanna try them?“

He smiled at the latter again, whose head shot up and eyes went wide.

He looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

„B-But, mother said –„

"Nope."

He cut the boy off, emphasizing the p in the word as it popped out of his mouth.

„It's just one or two bites,

if you don't like it then you don't have to finish it.

Your teeth won't rot from just a small amount like that.

Besides, what your mother doesn't know won't hurt her.

Right?"

"R-Right.."

„Okay then! I'll be back in a jiffy.“

He jumped to his feet, shooting the other another breath-taking smile.

„Also, I'm Chanyeol! It's nice to meet you..err..“

 

„Baekhyun, m-my name is Baekhyun.“

 

„Well, it's nice to meet you Baekhyun.“

His name rolled off of Chanyeol's tongue, dripping with affection and it gave Baekhyun goosebumps as he flinched a little.

 

„Y-Yeah, nice to meet you, too.“
