Macau was lying down on his bed with his sight lost in the ceiling. He was drawing imaginary lines following the paint patterns while his phone was playing on loop the cheesy song wasn´t even close to his musical tastes, but since he listened to it in the coffee shop near his home he couldn’t avoid thinking of that guy from music faculty who asked him for directions in the induction several months ago.
Initially, he didn’t care much and, being polite, directed him to the offices. He kept meeting the younger every day, but it didn’t seem weird since he used to meet the same people daily.
But something felt different two months after the first time, Macau had been exploring around the university looking for something to photograph.
The guy was frustrated because nothing suited what he was looking for. Sometimes the lighting was poor or there just wasn’t something he wanted to capture, until he saw him. Chay dressed in a beige coat that gave the impression of being bigger than him.
What surprised Macau the most was to see how the younger hugged a kitten inside his coat and without wasting time, he grabbed his camera and took few pictures of them.
Even though it was cold that day, Chay and the kitten were in a space between the trees where the sun’s rays filtered in, both drenched in light, making the scene warmer. What he didn’t expect was that Chay would notice him and beckon him over.
And he saw it, there was a soft blush on the younger’s cheeks making him look so adorable that he had to resist the urge to caress them.
And now he was there, four months later, staring at the ceiling with a ridiculously cheesy song playing in the background – sure Chay would love it – while waiting for that guy to text him agreeing to go out with him after his music practice.
Then it happened. His heart raised when he heard the message notification specially for Chay. His hands were shaking, and a huge smile was drawn on his face when he read the content. He was lucky that his brother wasn’t at home because it would have been so embarrassing for Macau if Vegas saw him dancing excitedly.
When he arrived at the coffee shop, Chay was already there, dressed in his beige coat – looking smaller – and contrasting with Macau’s black clothes.
Macau smiled as he did every time he saw or thought of Chay and put his hands on the guy’s cheeks caressing them while Chay pushed him playfully. The only thing that worried him was that the other boy would notice how fast his heartbeat when they were together.
Everything went according to the plan and as usual, when they finished, Chay suggested that they walk through his favorite park. Macau knew that this place was very special for Chay. When he feels sad, he comes here and sits for hours until he calls Macau to come get him.
However today something was different. Chay wasn’t sad, but he didn’t stop playing with his hands and Macau began to feel worried until he felt a warm hand take his arm, then Chay broke the silence.
“Can I kiss your cheek?” He asked softly and Macau just nodded a little bit insecure but excited. Then it was his turn to blush as he felt Chay’s soft lips on his skin.
He couldn’t take it anymore, so he held Chay’s face and kissed him as gently as possible. As they kissed, he could feel Chay’s arms wrap around him, filling his world with warmth and color.
It felt like a cheesy love song.
