Aki wakes up in bed next to his boyfriend. His boyfriend moves and says, "Five more minutes." Aki comebacks with, "That's my line." Alvin stays silent. Aki gets out of bed, "Wardrobe", a bright, white energy tainted rose pink silhouettes Aki's body. Aki uses his magic to change into one of Alvin's hoodies, keeping his one of his blue checkered pajama pants.
"You're not gonna shower?", Alvin asks.
"No, quarantine remember. What am I going out for?! ", Aki replies
"What about work?"
"I don't go in today. .... Maybe go get groceries. Don't forget your mask.
Aki goes down into the kitchen and starts making himself cereal with marshmallows. He sits down on the couch and starts watching some anime as he eats his breakfast. Alvin comes downstairs with wet hair, in a towel covering his lower region, and he goofs with Aki as he's eating. The towel drops and Aki saw ummm... something.
Alvin says, "Relax." He pulls his towel up and ties it up tightly. "You're gonna see it again tonight if you're still up for it." Alvin puts his face closer to Aki's, about to kiss him and blocks him with his bowl. Aki retaliates, "Dump this and make yourself some cereal before you leave."
Alvin chuckles.
Aki, "What's funny?"
Alvin, "You're nervous about tonight. It's your first time." Alvin pours cereal into bowl.
Aki, "So what, it's your first time, too." Aki mutes the tv and turns over to Alvin as he pours milk into the bowl.
Alvin, "But you're panicking" Alvin grabs a spoon.
Aki, "No, I'm not." Alvin starts walking over.
Alvin, "I can tell when you're panicking even if it's so subtle."
Aki doesn't know what to say.
Alvin sits down by Aki. "You don't need to panic, I'll go gentle."
Aki, "I can handle you going fast if you can even do that.
Alvin, "Sure, I can do that.
The doorbell rings.
Aki says, "I'll get it." Alvin unmutes the tv.
Aki opens the door and sees a box of macaroons with a pink paper heart taped to it left at his doorstep.
He walks back over to Alvin.
"Who was it?", Alvin asks.
"Just some kids playing pranks don't worry", Aki replies.
"If they do that again, I'll just set a fire fence around the house."
Aki, a fifteen year-old who's devastated, to the point he creates his own reality, controlling what others think. The reality he creates involves him creating the life he's always wanted with his dream boyfriend, job, and family, to the point he sees that the dream he imagined is a nightmare in reality.
