Hi hi! I'm still not quite sleepy yet, so I'm gonna type up this chapter before going to bed ~~

I do not own MM!

I gasped, bolting upright from my bed. I looked around the room, panting heavily. I clutched my chest, confusion and worry blooming in my chest- was it... It couldn't have been a dream, could it?

My phone rang suddenly, and I reached for it on the bedside table, answering immediately as Yoosung's face popped onto the screen.

"Yoosung?"

"Saeran! Did I wake you up?"

"Um, No- I just woke up."

"Oh, that's good. What did you do today?"

I blinked slowly, my hand falling to my side. Was it a dream? He was acting completely normally. Sadness wavered in the pits of my stomach, my breathing slowing, the disappointment of the situation overtaking me.

"I.. Didn't do much."

"Oh," His voice comes out as a sigh, "Yeah, I couldn't focus today either. I was thinking about you all day."

My heart skipped, and I pressed on, hopeful that this was what I thought it was.

"Why?"

His laugh came through the phone- I could just picture him shaking his head at me.

"Jeez, did you forget our kiss already?"

"Oh thank god..." My words carried out on my breath, quiet, but happy, relief washing over me.

"What?"

I laughed softly, embarrassment quickly replacing my relief.

"Well, I... I thought maybe I had dreamt that..."

"Oh, well good, cause I worried about that too, to be honest! But then my shirt smelled like you, so..." He let out a small breath before continuing. "I'm glad it wasn't a dream."

I swallowed, my free hand twitching on my lap- I would give anything to hold him right now.

"Me... Me too."

"So," His voice was small, like he was afraid of the response he might get, "What.. What does this mean?"

"I guess, that... The next step would be officially dating... But I want to do it properly."

"Properly?"

"I... I want to take you on a date." I blushed as I said this, pushing down my anxiety as it screamed within me. I had to do this, I needed to do this. I wanted to do everything for him.

"Really?!"

"Y-yeah."

"Okay! Oh my gosh! I'm so excited!"

I laughed softly at his giddiness, shaking my head. He never failed to be adorable at any given time.

"What are we gonna do?"

"Let me plan it," I bit my lip before finishing my sentence, "I... I want to make you feel special."

"O-Okay."

A smile formed on my lips- I could practically hear him blushing through the phone. I brushed my thumb over the phone, closing my eyes, longing to stroke his cheek.

"I'll call you tomorrow about the details, okay?"

"Okay... Goodnight, Saeran."

"Goodnight."

I placed the phone back on the table, leaning back onto my pillows. I brought one from the side, pressing it against my chest, hugging it tightly, closing my eyes, envisioning him in its place.

I haven't felt this way in all my years of living. Not even as a child did I ever know someone or have someone that I desperately wanted to please this badly, to protect this badly. It was always me being protected, or protecting myself, out of fear and paranoia, but now, I had this wonderful thing at the tip of my fingers- I would lose my mind if I let it go.

I squeezed the pillow harder, breathing in deeply- if only this was Yoosung's earthy scent.

I don't know what I can really give you. I don't think I can give you the things you give me.

But I'll give you everything I can.

This is a short one, but the next one will be longer ~ I'm excited for Saeran to take him on a date eeee ~~~
