Romeo lay in bed on his stomach, swaying his feet in the air behind him. He absentmindedly chewed on a pencil, the tangy wood on his tongue. He spat it out when he realized his bad habit, and focused on the diary in his hands. He pondered for a moment, then scribbled down his thoughts.
The perfect boy...Romeo giggled and grinned as he envisioned the most handsome Kalon. He had to have blue eyes, dark hair, and a movie star smile. He needed to be tall, and kind, and thoughtful. Someone who was calm and quiet to match Romeo's own docile nature. Someone chill to hang out with and lounge on the couch and snuggle with and laugh at bad movies with.
Romeo got giddy just thinking about him, his dream boy. One day he would find his love, but until then he'd just have to sigh dreamily and wonder about when he'd meet his knight in shining armor. He closed his diary neatly and tucked it under his mattress, then turned over to switch off his reading lamp and nestle into the sheets. He looked out the window and wished for someone to stargaze with. He gripped his blanket tightly and wished to have someone to hold. He blinked in the blackness, staring into the hallway and wished for someone to keep the darkness away. He closed his eyes and began to dream about all his wishes coming true.
Of course, life didn't go as he wanted it to. High school was as single as ever and nobody shared a spark with him. It took a long time before he noticed a short boy who sat in the back of his biology class.
The boy was petite but had a personality that was big and loud. Anthony's blonde hair was a bit too shaggy, and kept getting in the way of his dark brown eyes. He had a crooked smile because his teeth stuck out a little too far and tilted to the left. He was jumpy and loud, and was a go-getter who didn't like to sit still.
And yet, he was irresistibly charming.
At first, Romeo hated that. He didn't want a noisy boy with lots of energy. He wanted to gaze into ocean blue eyes, not muddy pools. His dream boy was tall dark and handsome, and it was almost as if Anthony were trying to be the exact opposite. It frustrated Romeo, because Anthony didn't align with his visions. And his heart couldn't help but pull him towards Anthony, even if it had to drag him kicking and screaming.
He wanted to get to know Anthony, so he sat with him at lunch. From schoolyard giggles to complaints about teachers, the boys grew to know each other better and better. Anthony's big personality wasn't so bad after all. In fact, it nicely balanced out Romeo's calm nature, and when Anthony asked Romeo to go hike up an abandoned mountain trail, his sense of adventure awakened from its deep slumber.
The trail was quiet apart from the songbirds who whistled gleefully in the golden rays. Sunlight dappled Romeo's coat and shifted with each stride under the neverending ceiling of foliage. Droplets of dew shook down onto the pair when a gust of wind freed the liquid crystals from their leafy chambers. The deeper into the forest trail they hiked, the cooler it got. The misty atmosphere was like heaven to the heaving two who were worn down and sweating after the long hike. They were almost at the top, and when they reached the summet, the view made everything worth it.
Romeo turned and gazed at Anthony. Anthony noticed and nudged him playfully, saying "Look at the view!"
"I am" whispered Romeo with a sly grin on his soft face. Romeo noticed a change in Anthony. His muddy eyes became chocolate. His hay hair became gold. His short stature became huggable. His crooked smile aligned the stars to piece everything together. Romeo embraced Anthony and poured out his heart with a kiss, soulmates who finally found one another.
