^^ had to add that fan art there it was just so cute

Drew sighed, for the umpteenth time, running a hand through his chartreuse locks.
Sure, he was the student council president of his high school.
Sure, he was the captain of the most elite football team in Larousse.
And sure, was he the most attractive guy in the eyes of every girl in his school.
Wait. Scratch that– in the eyes of every girl in the school except for a certain brunette.
Well, that was no surprise, because we all know who that little brunette is, right?
That one particular brunette, who smiled everyday like there was no tomorrow, who would trip on air and land into his arms and who would apparently, and he quotes– "sleep all the time to escape from reality."
Yet it was all of this that made her so perfect, in his eyes.
But May, being denser than concrete, never knew that all this time, he had been in love with her.
She didn't know, that there was a deeper meaning to everything Drew called her. How much he resisted his temptations to just go and hug her when she was being adorable (which was all the time, by the way.) And how much he wished to wipe away all her tears when she cried.
Drew clutched the pole for safety as the train jerked suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. Then, he heard a high pitched squeal. His eyes scanned the vehicle for the source of the sound, spotting an old woman and then May holding onto the handrail.
Oh it's just May, he thought, and went back to reviewing his hopeless shoujo-manga-storyline-like life.
Then he took a double take.
Wait, what?
There stood the girl of his dreams, clad in striped slacks and a white fur collared coat, looking like she was struggling to stay awake throughout her journey.
Man, she looks like an angel from above.
Just before May was about to fall asleep again, an idea popped into Drew's head.
He pulled out his phone, dialed her number in a just few seconds; he'd remembered it by heart the very day she gave it to him for a simple group project in eighth grade. They rarely texted each other, both being the too-shy-to-reply types, and even when they did, it was only about trivial matters and didn't last more than four speech bubbles.
Drew brought the device to his ear but his eyes found their way back to the love of his life, wondering if the day she returned his feelings was anytime soon.
After cutely fumbling through her coat pockets, May picked up on the third ring, without even looking at the caller screen.
"Hello?" She squeaked out, her voice sounding higher pitched over the phone than in reality. The same voice that rung in his ears like music, Drew was sure that he could make out this sound even in the constant buzz and hushed tones of the other passengers.
His heart skipped a beat, but he managed to let out a "Hey June" as if it was just any other conversation they were having.
He watched her curious expression falter into a cute pout at the nickname, and he felt like he couldn't breathe for a second.
"Drew! My name is May, M-A-Y!" She yelled into her phone, earning stares from a couple of people around her, while Drew just let out a chuckle.
"Did you seriously just call me to annoy me again?"
"You wish. Sorry sweetheart but I'm busy and I actually have things to do other than bug you."
Lies lies lies.
May blushed a little at the 'sweetheart' part of his comment, but she looked like she was about to hand up anytime now.
"I have a valid reason. Let's play a game."
"What? A game? Over the phone?"
"Yeah."
Her faced scrunched up a bit. "And what's in it for me?"
"Hmm, how about McDonalds?"
"You'll pay?"
"Yeah."
You just scored yourself a date there, Hayden.
Her eyes lit up at the thought. "Woohoo!" She fist bumped the air. Adorable. "So how do you play?"
"It's simple. First one to find the other wins."
"Huh? What?"
"Just spot me in the crowd, June, that's all."
"Wait what where are you in the first place?"
"That's the point of the game. You have to find me before I find you. Three, two, one, go!"
"HEY WAIT DREW WHA-"
He hung up before she finished, watching her priceless reaction and slowly making has way through the horde of passengers to where she stood. Boy, this was gonna be fun.
And being the dense brunette she always had been, May didn't even realise that Drew was only metres away from her. After some angry mumbling to herself, she dialed his number again, grunting in frustration while waiting for him to pick up.
"Wassup." He muttered, as he got closer and closer to where she stood.
"Wassup? WASSUP? THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME?!"
"Woah woah calm down tiger, why the anger?"
"Of course I'm angry! Free McDonald's is on the line and I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE YOU ARE."
"Chill. It's easier than you think."
"What? You could be anywhere in seven continents for all I could know!"
"Hey, I'm close."
"How close?"
"Like right behind you close."
May paused for a moment, then laughed. "As if, there's no way you'd actually be behi-"
And so, she turns around to face her (oops don't tell Drew yet) childhood crush who indeed stood there in all his tall fricking glory.
Her jaw dropped, and he gently pushed her chin up with a finger as sapphire met emerald.
Cue background fireworks.
He put his phone back in his pocket, then bent down to her petite 5'2 frame, their faces leaning close. Inches maybe.
"I win." He smirked.
May was still too shocked to move her phone from her ear, but then something snapped.
"YOU CHEATED."
"Nope. I won fair and square."
"LIAR. YOU CHEATED, YOU KNEW I HAD CRAM SCHOOL SO YOU FOLLOWED ME JUST SO THAT YOU COULD SHOW OFF AND MAKE ME FEE-"
"Wait no. I didn't follow you I swear. I just saw you from the other side of the cabin and wanted to have some fun."
Her anger subsided a bit, and then it turned to confusion.
"Really? You just happened to be here? Wow, what a coincidence."
He scoffed. "Screw coincidence, this is fate, honey."
And as expected, she turned red at the name, averting her gaze.
"Can you just call me by my name for onc-" She spoke, only to be interrupted by the sound of the train doors opening and passengers flooding the cabin.
It ended up getting so packed, May felt like she couldn't breath from the claustrophobia. Or maybe it was just the fact that she was pressed against Drew. But she wouldn't admit it, of course.
"May."
"Hmm?"
The fact that he had actually called her by her real name for once made her look up in suspicion. Big mistake. Their faces were now probably only centimetres apart. Too close for her liking.
Like close enough to count his eyelashes. Which were beautiful by the way.
They both blushed at the proximity, and looked away.
Then Drew realised what he was about to say. "Hey, I won, so give me my prize."
"What? Why would I give you something when the game wasn't even fair?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Yeesh chill woman, it's not an object or something."
"Then what?"
"Go out with me." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist, bringing them even closer, if that was even possible, and resting in forehead on hers.
And, for the umpteenth time that day, May blushed, before melting into Drew's embrace.
In the smallest voice, she let out, "Fine, idiot."
Drew felt like he couldn't breathe.
Who's the one blushing now, huh?
