“Are we anywhere near Hong Kong yet?” Eddy mumbled, still half asleep.

He turned his head towards Brett's seat and noticed it was empty. He had probably went to the bathroom. Rubbing his eyes to try and open them up, the violinist groaned and sat up straighter on his seat. He looked through the window and noticed it was nighttime. When was their plane supposed to land to their transition again? Was it 6am?

Chen sighed and grabbed his headphones from his backpack, which he used as a thigh-warmer. He plugged them into his phone and chose to listen to his "sleep" classical music, songs he could listen to when he was sleepy. He closed his eyes and lightly swayed from side to side with the tempo until he drifted off to sleep.

When Eddy woke up, Brett was next to him again, reading a book on his Kindle. He tapped his shoulder lightly and etched the sweetest smile he could for someone who had just woken up.

“Hey babe, do you know when we're supposed to land?”

The shorter boy smiled back and ran his hand through his boyfriend's hair. “We should land in about an hour.”

Chen rested his head on his shoulder as the other wrapped his arms around him. “Thanks.” He sighed. “I can't wait to be home.”

Yang softly kissed the back of his partner's head and closed his eyes to rest them. He had barely slept during the flight and seriously needed some rest, and even though he could try and get it from Hong Kong to Brisbane, he wanted to take advantage of the remaining hour of flying.

When they arrived at the Hong Kong international airport, TwoSet was exhausted. They never seemed to know what time it was and everything around them was too much: the people, the noise, the ads... They had another hour to wait for their final plane to Australia and desperately looked for a place to sit.

“Jeez, don't they have any free seats here?” Brett asked. “Whatever, I'll just sit on the floor.”

He walked up to a wall and let himself slide down to the cold tiled floor. Anything would be better than standing right now. He tapped a free place next to him with his hand to indicate that Eddy could sit next to him. He joined him promptly and set an alarm for 10 minutes before their flight departure so they wouldn't miss it.

Eddy's backpack on the ground was separating the two boys, but they discretely slipped their hands behind it to hold eachother, so they could feel reassured even though the situation was rough.

They knew it wasn't going to last forever, they would soon get the plane home and sleep for as long as the tiredness would persist, but at that moment it felt like forever. And not a good kiss forever, it was more like an awful situation forever. Like being bored in class forever. Like your parent's been yelling at you for 5 minutes straight forever.

But eventually, Eddy's phone rang and the violinists walked to the gate, checking into their second and last plane home. They had gotten used to being abroad after all this time, but they weren't on the plane for so long, ever. Brett was just unable to sleep, but Eddy was more stressed out than anything. All of the people in the plane (don't even mention the crying babies), the fact that it's a closed place SO FAR AWAY from the ground... The only two things he could think about that made the situation better were: there are no cockroaches on a plane, at least there shouldn't be. And: Brett was always there for him. He didn't know how he'd survive without him.

“The plane from Hong Kong to Brisbane is going to land in a moment. Please fasten your seatbelts.”

The voice of the air hostess resonated within the plane and joined the two relieved boys' ears. It felt like they've been trapped in this metal prison for years now, and seeing the ground get closer to them every second from the window was like a symphony for their eyes.

After the plane touched the ground and the people in the front started walking out, TwoSet followed them with their eyes half-open. Despite wearing his glasses, Brett would hold out his hand in case there was an obstacle in front of him. Eddy ironically held his backpack in the front, to absorb any collisions he may have. He still had his headphones around his neck and regularly checked if it was still there. He truly didn't know what he'd to without it. He also regularly checked if Brett was still next to or behind him, because... What would he do without him too?

When the violinists got to the airport, they waited for their luggages to arrive, trying not to miss them. Yang actually got both of their luggages; he had noticed how his boyfriend kept dozing off and worried that he'd forget his suitcase.

“Here you go, Eddy,” he said, handing it to him.

The other boy sincerely smiled at him. “Thanks, Brett.”

They walked to the front of the building and caught a cab. When the driver asked them where they wanted to go, the shorter violinist answered:

“Umm, my home please.”

“Sir, I need an address,” the driver clarified.

While Eddy found that hilarious and burst into laughter, Brett hid his face in his hands. “Oh fuck, I'm so sorry..”, he apologized before giving him the address. The boys laughed about it during the entire ride there.

When TwoSet saw Yang's house in the distance getting closer, they excitedly looked at eachother. They missed this place more than they ever thought. They stepped out of the taxi and thanked the driver before opening the front door, walking inside and immediately heading to Brett's bedroom to.. sleep. If you followed the storyline, you should've noticed they needed sleep.

When they laid on the bed, they looked at eachother.

“This tour was incredible,” Brett sighed.

“Let's do it again next year?” Eddy proposed.

Brett giggled and placed a hand on his boyfriend's cheek. He pulled himself closer to him into a sweet, yet tired kiss.

“Let's sleep first.”

Ahem.
So, 20 chapters, huh? That's quite a lot.
I said last chapter that I'd have something to say, and I do.
I've been writing this since October, and I'm glad I could be the first TwoSet fanfic, even though I don't actually ship the boys. I see this more as a way of working on my writing skills.

Now, I've been thinking. I started this as a joke and kind of continued this only because so many people started reading this. And yeah, I had fun writing it. It's great!

Nonetheless, I think all good things have an end.

This is me announcing that chapter 20 of TwoSetLove: a Breddy Fanfic will most probably be the last. I think I've been pretty far with this already but writing about actual, living people just started feeling weird.
I don't want TwoSet to be fed up with the fandom upon seeing this.

I hope you'll understand my decision, and I'm sorry. Other fanfictions have started blooming since mine, and you should check them out instead. I'll be outside of the fanfic universe now, atleast for a while.

This was an amazing adventure and I still need to thank all of you.

I love you all,
Alex
