Song at the top is the inspo for this fic. Ships:Keun Sup x Jason (Acorn Blossom), Craig x Jason (Craigson). I literally don't care if you pretend the characters are older in this but if you do they're no older than 14.
Jason's POV:Monday morning of school, my head drooped down at my phone, Keun Sup hadn't texted me since the second day of school. Maybe he's busy...Yeah, some teachers suck and give homework on the first day of school, like Tony's.
Keun Sup and I have been together since the first day of summer, we were right there at the creek. I had started liking him and I didn't know he was taking an interest in me too before we sat down together at the hill where we'd all gather around to look at the lightning bugs and make our wishes. I was with Keun Sup while Boris and Tony were running around trying to get a hold of any lighning bug to make a summer wish, I had just made mine so I was relaxing on the grass. My wish was the same as last summer, that soon cupid will acknowledge me and put me with someone...Besides, I was done with being left alone with no love. Tired of going home to people who don't care about you...
Months before
Hopefully cupid won't be an idiot and make his arrow hit someone like Big Red, not to judge Boris's taste, he's rather young but Big Red is just a girl to avoid. To this day I don't understand how cupid could have shot his arrow into Boris and Big Red like that.
A lightning bug peacefully landed in Keun Sup's palms as it glowed, I noticed him smirk at it and look up at me "Aren't you gonna make a wish?"I teased seeing he was staring up at me instead of hurrying up to make his wish, "Heh, course I will..."Keun Sup kneeled his face down at the lightning bug "I wish, for me and Jason to have an amazing summer together".
It was as if Keun Sup purposefully wanted me to hear his wish.
Wait Jason, think rationally...Maybe he just wants our friendship to be better since when Xavier took over, maybe-
"Jason Durchdenwald, will be my summer boyfriend? Ah, course there's no strings attached but...How does that sound?".
My face turned bright red at that question and it felt like I swallowed a bug, I didn't look to see if Boris and Tony had made their wishes and were heading back causing them to hear Keun Sup. But whether or not anyone besides me or Keun Sup heard, I put on a wide smile and said yes. It wasn't even Valentine's Day, yet cupid and my lightning bug were so quick
After that, Tony and Boris were happy I was happy. Surprisingly even Craig was when he heard.
I wanted to do just about everything with Keun Sup, I wanted to make us have little connections everyday but maybe that was because that was my first 'relationship'. I didn't have anyone else to back me up when it came to dating, thanks for nothing dad and Eleanor.
One day me and Keun Sup were relaxing on a hill as the summer breeze hit us, I saw a fluffy white bird and I shot myself up to look at it. "Keun Sup, look at that bird! Isn't it pretty?"In hopes of a converstation, I turned to Keun Sup. He lightly turned his head and nodded, agreeing with me. I had attempted at a meaningful conversation together. But Keun Sup was more in the means of something causal. I gave up and laid back down beside him, but Keun Sup wanted to hold my hand for the remainer of the time so I was happy.
Months later
I kept staring at the phone screen, I put it away seeing the teacher stand in front of the class "Alright, class get out your books we'll be doing some warm ups before we get started on our math!"Mrs. Melnir told the class, her long nails running through her curly light brown hair.
Hours later
Lunch time, Boris had to leave early and Tony was on his way to school just now cause he had to deal with something before school, so until then I was alone at lunch. I checked my phone again, Keun Sup still hasn't texted me, I never liked being the one to text first even though it started being like that during when school rolled around. Maybe this wouldn't hurt....I pressed my thumbs against the keyboard, a simple 'hey' should do.
He replied after a few minutes with the same word as me, I tried asking how his first week of school was going and he said it was going fine.
I worked my way up to the top and asked if he wanted to go on a date Saturday, it's his first week he shouldn't have too much by Friday.
Keun Sup's POV:I took a final bite of the sub over my lunch tray while staring down at my phone watching Jason type his message, as I let the crumbs fall, Jason sent his message and I almost dropped my phone.
'I know you might be busy but do you want to go on a date Saturday?'.
This had to be a joke, I made my intentions clear when I asked him...I asked him to be my Summer boyfriend, the summer part should have made it obvious to Jason!
How can I tell him all I wanted was a stupid summer boyfriend without anything serious? I wanted someone to be with for summer only...I always thought Jason knew what I wanted when I asked him right there on that hill, all the glowing bugs and kids running around whispering their wishes. Jason obviously heard my wish as I asked for me and him to have a good summer together, that was a good hint...
No, now it just seems like I'm blaming him. Curse my need for word play that day...Okay Keun Sup, you can do this...You have to be honest with Jason and hope you won't have to carry a never ending weight of guilt for making Jason think you were willing to have an actually serious relationship with him...
I got my thumbs ready and typed, 'Oh, a date? Listen Jason, about that'
I had gotten nervous and accidentally sent it too soon. 'What Keun Sup?' 'Jason, I won't be able to go on that date with you because well, I can't be your boyfriend anymore. We'll have talk about this at the creek, sorry my lunch is over and the teachers get really strict if you're late...'.
Time skip
Jason's POV: "What do you mean you just wanted a little summer fun?!" "Jason, keep it down!".
My fists were clenched, yet I was too shocked to use them, I rapidly blinked breathing hard like a maniac in an anxious way and I could barely look at Keun Sup without wanting to scream after what he told me.
He didn't want anything serious, he didn't want this to continue on, he...He just wanted me to be his summer boyfriend...His summer activity...
Me and Keun Sup met at the creek after school, my homework wasn't done and I was supposed to meet with Tony and Boris to do it with them after this. When I got there he looked nervous, I was pretty nervous, earlier he had told me he couldn't be my boyfriend anymore. At first I appreciated him having the guts to tell me in person instead of over text, according to eavesdropping on Eleanor's gossiping over the phone, that's the worst way to breakup with someone.
But it turns out we had probably been broken up since the end of summer...
"Jason, I'm really sorry I made you think we had something serious going on all summer...I mean it, man. I really do, I thought you knew too"Keun Sup apologised as I stared down at him in shock "W-Well of course I did...You, you said you wanted me to be your boyfriend! It...It was so simple!"I tripped over my words, my volume not getting any lower barely having time to process what happened. One moment I'm thinking me and Keun Sup will be happy together but now I'm ripped from that reality without a care from the world.
"I thought it'd be cool to ask you in a fancy way! I thought Summer boyfriend made it obvious...Again, Jason I'm so sorry if I knew it would have ended like this I would have kept my mouth shut!"I listened to Keun Sup apologised again.
I felt so lied to, but I was so upset I couldn't even show him Jason's law for when someone lies to me...I thought he was being romantic, I thought he really liked me that way, but I was his summer fun. I was just someone he used to keep his hands full during the summer "I thought you were being romantic, fancy! How was I supposed to know what you actually wanted?! Keun Sup, I appreciate you apologising to me, but I need some space. A lot of space"I angrily sighed and turned to march over to Tony and Boris.
I wasn't going to look back at him, I'm not looking back at this...Summer love if there's a proper name for it...I kept my boots planted to the bottoms of the ground, I didn't know what Keun Sup expected me to do, leave flowers everywhere he walked and then once summer hit to just go back to being friends? Act like we never held hands or kissed? Went on dates?
Before I knew it, when I was halfway along the way to Boris and Tony I was already crying. "Whoa! Jason, did something happen?!"From my right I heard someone run to me, I looked at them only to see Craig walk over to me with a worried look. Jp and Kelsey were behind him unsure what was going on, let alone why Craig stopped. Before I answered Craig turned around to his friends remembering they were there and figured this would be a moment for privacy "Hey, Jp, Kelsey, you guys go to the stump without me...It's okay, I'll catch up...".
Craig and me sat down on a rock for a bit, I would try to make this quick since Boris and Tony were waiting for me I wouldn't blame them if they started the homework without me.
"So why are you so sad?"
Craig's POV:I stared at the weeping blond before me, tears rolling down his cherry cheeks as his green eyes blinked away at the tears and his lips quivered. He was at his worst moment yet he looked so pretty when he cried, but I knew whatever was making him so sad wasn't even close to being pretty like him. "*I-I'm sorry, geez I look so stupid..."Jason sighed wiping his face from his tears smiling nervously "No no, you don't have to be embarrassed...It's fine, really it is"I reassured him. "Oh alright...It's about...Keun Sup, you know we've been together since the start of summer and when school rolled around I was starting to be the one to text him first all the time...I wish I realized sooner but, Keun Sup he...He didn't want anything serious from me like how I wanted from him, I don't know if there's a word for this but turns out he just wanted someone to keep him busy for the summer which was me...I was only a summer boyfriend but I was too dumb to see it, I'm sure he had no malicious intent but it still hurts...It hurts a lot".
I let him sniff and fight back tears from running down his cheeks, "You know it's actually kinda funny...When everyone was making their wishes I wished cupid would pay attention to me for once and give me someone to love but look where I am...He hit me with a cracked arrow and now I'm left feelings so so...Stupid".
"I don't think you're stupid, Jason..."I said my hand approaching his shoulder to comfort him "Like you said I'm sure Keun Sup wasn't trying to hurt you on purpose, I'm not Keun Sup but if he knew you misunderstood what was going on between you guys he would have told you and prevented you from getting hurt. Besides, it's not the end of the world there are plenty of people out there who would love you and want to have an actual relationship with you not whatever Keun Sup wanted".
I watched him inhale and exhale "Thank you, Craig..."He mumbled, my palm remaining on his shoulder. We sat there for a bit until he got up cause he had to meet with Tony and Boris for homework.
I watched him walk off, I was shocked I never realized, even if it was for a second how pretty Jason looked.
