Chongyun laid in bed restlessly. Tomorrow was the day. Valentine's day. He was finally going to ask Xingqiu to be his boyfriend. He couldn't wait, but he was scared. What if Xingqiu turned him down, or said yes to one of his fangirls. Or what if they break up immediately? He shook his head. No, he couldn't think that way.

He struggled to sleep, nerves filling his system. He wanted to hold Xingqiu, that would calm him down. Xingqiu always calmed him down. But it was a bit late for that. So he snuck down to the kitchen to grab a popsicle to calm his nerves. He grabbed it and started to chew on it, the coolness soothing his worries.

Chongyun finished the popsicle and got back into his bedroom. Everything would go fine, and despite not trusting that feeling, he would have to as he drifted off to sleep.

He was rudely awaken by the sound of his alarm. He turned it off and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He couldn't be drowsy today, today was the most important day of his life so far. He was going against fate to win perfection as his own.

Chongyun gathered all of the gifts and carefully put them in his backpack, shouting a goodbye to his mom and running out the door. He made sure to get to Xingqiu's house early to walk with him to school. His heart was pounding so hard he could hear it in his ears. But it would be fine.

He arrived at Xingqiu's, taking a bit to catch his breath before ringing the doorbell. Xingqiu answered it, halfway done with tying his uniform tie. "Oh, morning YunYun! Let me grab my backpack really quick," He finished tying his tie and grabbed his empty back pack.

Chongyun blushed at Xingqiu's cute nickname for him, he pretended to hate it just so Xingqiu would call him it more often. Something about having a special nickname from Xingqiu made his heart do backflips. He was so incredibly happy that today was finally the day, even though he originally feared it.

Xingqiu came out, closing his home door and walking to school with Chongyun. "You're really early this morning," Xingqiu remarked.

"Yeah, I figured you'd be really busy today considering all the love letters you get," Chongyun said, a hint of jealousy clear in his voice.

"Yeah, it's so tiring turning everyone down," Xingqiu sighed.

Chongyun stayed silent 'everyone?' Panic hit him again. Xingqiu was going to turn him down. Why did he think this was a good idea? There was no possible way this was going to end well.

"Yunyun?," Xingqiu's voice broke the worry.

"Ah sorry, I'm just worried because of the person I'm asking out today," Chongyun sighed.

"O-oh...yeah...i guess that would be scary," Xingqiu said sadly, a pang of jealousy hitting him.

Chongyun nodded as they got closer to the school gates, meeting up with their friends.

Everyone teased Chongyun, considering they knew who he was asking out. Love was in the air, you could feel it. It was earth shattering. Chongyun was fully terrified, granted asking out perfection wasn't exactly meant to be easy.

The day passed slowly, all their professors acting rather out of character. Then it was time. The last period of the day, he already had his teachers permission to ask Xingqiu out in front of everyone.

Everyone got in, and the bell rang for class to start and Chongyun was in the front of the class, all his friends cheering him on as he walked over to Xingqiu. His heart was in his throat as he took a deep breath.

"I've honestly been dreading this all week, but I've never been more ready to do it. Xingqiu, in my eyes you're perfect, and absolutely stunning. There are so many lovely things about you, but I couldn't quite fit them all in. We've been through a lot together, you've always seemed to be my everything even when I denied it. You made it feel okay to be myself, you make me want to be better. You make me the best person I could possibly be, and I would never ever trade that for the world. I know we may be young, but I've had these feeling for you since we met, and they just grew over time. I can confidently say that I'm in love with you Xingqiu, and want to be with you in everyway possible. So Xingqiu, will you make me the luckiest person and be my perfection?," He asked, shyly holding out the flowers that were attacked by a string with a cat plushie tied to it.

Xingqiu had started to cry during Chongyun's speech, he would have never guessed that Chongyun was asking him out. It made him so incredibly happy. "Of course I will Yunyun," He sniffled, hugging Chongyun tightly.

Chongyun was stunned, hugging him back.

"I love you too Yun," He nuzzled into him.

The class bursted out into applause and Professor Venti smiled at them. "Ahhh~ young love how adorable," He smiled, having the urge to hug his own boyfriend.

Chongyun let go of him, giving him the flowers "i have more for you, but they're hard to hold when asking someone out"

"You didn't have to get me anything, you're enough," Xingqiu laughed "now I'm embarrassed, I thought you were going to ask out Xiangling," He quietly admitted.

"No way, you're way better, no offense to her, but you're...yeah," Chongyun chuckled.

They gushed over one another until Venti told them to settle down. The class ended pretty quickly, and Chongyun waited for Xingqiu, holding his hand, causing them both to blush. As they walked out of the gate of their high school, neither of them could be any happier than they were right now.
