Saturday, 14th January 2023 - Pro-Procrastination

I didn't blog yesterday and for that I do apologize - I had to sleep in preparation for today;

What was planned to be no more than a two hour meet up between me, Harvey, Wini, Harry, Alison and Valerie.

Uh. Alison left 6 hours later, not long after everyone else.

I went to the co-op yesterday after-school, after Mattson had ignored me on the way home (he's a downright liar, I tried to converse with him and he was having none of it), and brought snacks. I was on a call with Harley and Peter the whole time, Peter was playing fortnite, Harley was considering screaming down the phone to publicly humiliate me (not that it would matter, I'd been staring at the snack isle for ten minutes looking for chocolate raisins and completely ignoring the sign that said "please ask one of our staff if you need help locating something :DD), and then I went home, started typing about my relatively boring day yesterday (only fun thing was chamber choir where Olive was being an absolute demon and Winch was whispering quotes from Elliot and Harvey at me) when my dad walked in, stared me down and told me to go to sleep.

Smart man. So I slept, and got up at 7.30 (absolutely unheard of for a goddamn Saturday), and then prepped myself for everyone arriving at 10.30

Harry was first, and then Wini, Harvey and Val, poor Wini was absolutely soaked through because it was tipping it down with rain (welcome to England!!) and she got splashed by a van on the way too mine (...england!!!), and then Alison got dropped off by her dad. We headed up to my mum's summerhouse, bringing the snacks with us, and played some mariokart, and then Wini had to go, at about 11, which was sadge - we couldn't ship her w Harvey anymore. Then we tried guessing songs from eras and showtunes, before deciding to head into town to get some food. For some reason, Alison thought it would be an amazing idea to go to a local, and incredibly muddy from the rain, park to eat lunch. It was fun though, as we started a game of truth (not truth or dare, none of us could be bothered to do dares).

I won't go into the things said... as relatively anonymous as this blog is, I don't want to risk anything at all.

Soon we went back home and continued the game of truths, what was said i will not enclose, and then the rest of them went home.

It was overall very interesting, as none of us wanted anything else to do with our saturday but sit and eat snacks with friends and just be teenagers, and forget about exams for a little while.

Just a little while.

always, i loved you

order 035, anon: large honey milk tea with regular tapioca pearls for pentagon's Hui

warnings: lots of dialogue and very nostalgia/flashback oriented, otherwise just fluff :")

summary: you and boyfriend!Hui reminisce on your past and Hui realizes you've loved him for longer than he's been aware of.

word count: 939

barista 🥛's 💌: did u know this is my fav photo of Hui?! well now u know ♡ is anyone excited for ptg's comeback ?! i can't wait >.< p.s. i struggled writing this lmao

Hui kicks at your leg, making you lose your balance as you sit on the floor with your back towards the couch and your hands holding a gaming console.

"darn, Hui! i'm losing because of you!" you whine.

"that was the point," Hui says, a mischievous expression on his face as his character makes it to the mariokart finish line.

"always choose princess peach for the win, what did i tell you?" Hui says, contently shuffling around in his spot.

"you won 'cause you cheated and pushed me," you huff, taking the gaming consoles and putting them away before switching the tv off.

"a win's a win either way. now, you owe me some pancakes!" Hui cheers.

"coming right up," you grumble, standing up, but Hui pulls you down again to kiss the top of your forehead before letting you go.

as you're preparing the pancake mix, Hui joins you in the kitchen and leans back against the counter.

"this reminds me of our first date," he says, smiling at you fondly.

on your first date, Hui invited you over to cook together, except neither of you were confident, so you ended up just making pancakes. it all took place in your kitchen, just like things are happening now. back then though, the two of you were more nervous and didn't know each other that well.

"i dipped my finger in the mix and touched your face, but the mix slid down and it looked like you were crying," Hui reminisces, slowly walking over and doing the same thing he did back then.

you pout and act as if you're truly crying, and Hui kisses your lips with a laugh, wiping the pancake mix off your face.

"back then, i realized i really loved you," Hui says, stroking the top of your head.

"really? i knew that from way before. that i love you, i mean," you say, stirring the pancake mixture.

"oh? and when was that?" Hui asks, wrapping his arms around you and engulfing you in a back hug.

"back when we were still friends way back at the start, in high school, even. there was this one time when you sang for the class for your music club presentation... seeing the passion on your face and hearing your voice gave me goosebumps. i fell in love with you a thousand times over in that moment," you explain.

"wait so.. when did you first start liking me, then?" Hui asks, mumbling into your neck as he nuzzles his face into it.

"ah... that's a secret!" you say, starting to feel a bit embarrassed.

"what?! but i already know now it was sometime in high school!" Hui whines.

"and that's all you'll know," you say.

Hui's whines grow louder and he softly tickles you, trying to get any sort of answer from you.

"i'll only stop if you tell me!"

"fine, fine!" you pant, catching your breath as Hui finally lets go.

"i saw you in an empty classroom once before we were even friends. you were practicing singing for something and i couldn't even see your face, just your back. your voice was so beautiful that it made my heart flutter. after that day, i couldn't get your voice out of my head. that's how i knew i liked you."

Hui looks at you in disbelief, shaking his head.

"so you liked me before we were even friends?"

you nod and sigh, pitying yourself and your feelings that were one-sided back then.

"wow.." Hui says.

he's silent for a while as he processes everything. then, he asks you how you were able to feel the same way for so many years and not lose interest.

"because you were and are that special to me," you say.

"would you believe me if i told you you're special to me, too?" Hui asks.

you shake your head, not in disbelief, but at Hui's playful tone of voice.

"i started liking you after you befriended me because you joined my club. back then, you couldn't read music yet, and i taught you how to read it, remember? there was a day when you finally got the hang of it and you came to me all excited, showing me that you could finally read music. my heart raced so hard when you gave me a high-five and ran up to me like that... that's when i realized," Hui explains.

you smile fondly at the memory, recalling the way Hui blushed at you when you thanked him for letting you join his music club and teaching you how to read music.

"back then, i was so unsure of myself, but when i was finally doing something right, i felt so proud. and you were the first person who i wanted to tell," you say.

Hui kisses your cheek and rubs your shoulders, holding you close for a moment as he speaks.

"i remember that. and i know you have times, now, when you're still unsure of yourself. you know that it's okay to be unsure, right? you don't have to know everything, and you don't have to know yourself. just give yourself time to live and experience everything, all the things you want. then, you'll learn more about yourself, bit by bit."

"when did this turn into a lecture?" you ask Hui, who laughs in response.

you call his words a lecture, but they really do touch your heart. Hui knows they do, too. he knows now that he'll only tell you pretty things like that. it's the least he can do for someone who has loved him for such a long time.
