technically, this goes out to everyone who participated, but ven just set the ball rolling to actually write abt this
The heterochromatic eyes look down at the screen, they’ve been staring for quite a bit now, they were changed out of their special, birthday suit, they got a text from their local prefect.
the moonlight and stars of the outside was the only source of light, Iyad sat on their bed, they haven’t moved in a minute, it could be disturbing if you were in the room with them.
iyad scanned the screen again, almost checking if this was a real thing. it made them look like they’ve never gotten a praise before.
iyad has gotten compliments before, he wasn’t dying from jeers or anything. iyad always simply felt indifferent to these type of things.
but today, today was.. today was wonderful.
all the friendly gestures, the enthusiasm, and even if not everyone won at the gacha pulls that Azul had so generously hosted. iyad still couldn’t ask for more.
seeing this right before the clock strikes midnight, it ties everything they experienced from the moment they stepped right out of this bed.
now they have to wait another 365 days. but if it means they get to relive this, then they’d wait even more, just to feel this level of warmth and comfort again.
as iyad puts their phone down, they lay their body on the soft mattress, the digital texts burned into their heads as it joins the other carvings in their head that were made today.
all the memories that were made, they were being interlinked with one another, the ribbons of laughter and grins tied around a box that was to preserve the pictures and frames of comraderie and love, to be stored in Iyad’s heart forever.
sitting inside like a present, waiting to be opened.
idk what possessed me to write this but the nap i took today is fucking me over so bad.. anyway
here ven!! idk, this post made me smile and i thought that Iyad would like to see it too :)
