Soulmarks and Destiny

A Dream And Fluff

I was surrounded by beautiful flowers.
They were everywhere.
Walking through the sea of flowers, I felt at ease.
Plants are the best.
They're so calming and lovely.
Softly humming a random melody, I laid down and stared up into the blue sky.
No clouds could be seen.
I closed my eyes and relished the feeling of the wind softly blowing my hair out of my face.
"Beautiful"
I sighed and nodded.
"It truly is"
Wait.
Who am I talking to?
Opening my eyes, I sat up.
Since when was N'Ram sitting next to me?
"Sorry, I didn't notice you were here too, cool boy"
The sweet smile the other boy gave me surprised me.
He never smiles like that but…
It looks good on him.
Blinking, I noticed the flower crown on his head.
"N'Ram, why are you wearing a pastel coloured flower crown?"
He reached out and adjusted it.
"Why? Is it not pretty?"
"NO, no! It's adorable and really pretty. I'm just… Surprised", I answered quickly.
Being rewarded with another soft smile, I got the feeling that I might get addicted to him looking and smiling at me like that.
It was enchanting, to say the least.
How is he this pretty?
My heart ached.
He's so beautiful that it hurts.
But…Why do I get the feeling that something isn't right?
Frowning, I looked around.
Everything was so gorgeous and perfect.
Too perfect.
"This isn't real", I whispered and somehow, realising that hurt.
I want this to be real.
I don't want this to be a dream.
"P'King?", Ram looked at me, obviously worried and reached out for him.
Flinching back, I bit my cheek.
"This isn't real. It's just a dream. You're not real", I whispered and my eyes burned.
"I'm here, P'King. I'm right here"
Shaking my head, I hastily stood up and backed away.
"No, you're not. You'd never look at me this lovingly. This is just a stupid illusion!"
Hot tears were streaming down my face and it hurt.
God, it hurt so bad.
Make it stop.
                                              ' P' KING? '
MAKE IT STOP!!
                                     ' P'King, wake up.'
PLEASE, SOMEONE.
ANYONE.
                              ' P'KING, WAKE UP!!!'

And I woke up.
Blinking, I looked around with blurry eyes.
"P'King , are you ok?"
Ram.
He's here.
…
Why is he here?
"Cool boy?", I asked, feeling disoriented.
"I'm here, P'. It was just a dream, ok? Just dream"
A hand started to carefully stroking my back and I was pulled into a hug.
It helped with the pain.
And after a while, I stopped crying and calmed down.
Now, however, the burning feeling of shame started to grow.
I just cried in front of one of my juniors.
In front of N'Ram, out of all people!
What the hell, King?
You're supposed to be the mature and strong one.
Wiping away the tears, I sighed.
"Sorry, cool boy"
He hummed in response but didn't let go.
"What are you apologizing for? It's ok to cry. Don't worry about it"
Wow.
I think this is the most he ever said to me.
Yeah, the most he ever-
Hold on.
HE'S TALKING WITH ME??
"Cool boy, you're talking with me!", I exclaimed and looked up at him with a smile on my lips.
He just gave me a glare and silently tightened the hug so that I wasn't able to look up at him.
"Aww, don't be like that! You got such a pretty voice! No need to give me the silent treatment"
Despite not being able to see his face, I knew he rolled his eyes.
"Alright, alright. I'll stop bullying you",I chuckled and just enjoyed the hug.
After a few moments of comfortable silence, I couldn't help but start talking again.
"Say, cool boy, don't you have classes to attend?"
He answered with a determined shake of his head which made me laugh.
"No? Are you sure? Because I remember Bohn whining about how unfair it is that you have more classes than uns and that he can't see his boyfriend as often anymore as he used to"
Another shake of his head.
"You shouldn't be skipping class!", I scolded him lightly and nudged his side.
Ram sighed and took out his phone.
Welp, seems like he really won't be talking to me for now.
I reached for my phone as well and checked the messages.
Unsurprisingly, I had a new one from 'Cool boy'

Cool boy: I wasn't feeling well and decided to check on you

Grinning, I responded.

Me: Awww, you were about me? That's so cute! :3
Cool boy:... Whatever helps you sleep at night…
Me: :D
Cool boy: Seeing that you seem to be doing really well, I'll take my leave then
Me: :(

He let go and stood up.
Pouting a bit, I glared at him but he just raised an eyebrow in response.
"Who's bullying who now?"

Cool boy: You should rest, P'King

"Will do, cool boy. Get home safely!"
He nodded and left.
A few minutes after the door closed behind him, I got another message.

Cool boy: Sleep well
Me: You too, cool boy! :)

Grinning at our conversation, I fell back onto my bed.
He's so cute.
Hugging my pillow, I rolled onto my side.
"That dream was something else though…"
I should be more careful…
I can't have my hope ruin my fragile friendship with N'Ram after I worked so hard for it.
Get a grip, King.
Don't act too rash.
I'm a very patient person, I got this.
I got this.
