A Dream Comes True

Summary:

Jiang Wenxu had decided to wait for another four years; to experience the torment of longing and pain during the four years that He Zhishu had painstakingly waited for him to turn back, to atone the sins that he had committed. 'And then? Then I will go find you. Thoroughly up in the blue beyond, down in the Yellow Springs, never in my life will I ever let you go. I will always, always, accompany you down your path.'

And now, the four years are up.

Notes:

Just made it randomly to heal my broken heart.

Work Text:

Dear Zhishu:

Today is the first day of the New Year. The weather is so cold, it has been snowing for days. Our Akita wouldn’t stop running onto the bed and hide under the blanket. The jasmines on the veranda have all withered away. I hope spring would come sooner so they can bloom again. I love it when the whole house is filled with your scent.

But Zhishu, you haven’t been home for four years. Are you still having fun out there? When are you coming back? I’ve made some dumplings for you. There is also this new pair of rings that you haven’t tried on yet. I would always polish it once a few weeks so that the ring would stay brand new when you finally wear it. There are also a lot of things that I want to show you. The sketchbook that you kept hidden, I’ve framed the pictures and put them in our living room. Looking at them makes me feel as if we’re back to 19 years ago. When we were innocent and naive, filled with only the pure love of youth.

Zhishu, I’m lonely. I’m so, so... lonely.

Is this how you felt when I left you alone at home? I’m sorry, I’m sorry… so please come back sooner okay. But it’s also fine to play a little bit more. Because just like you did, I will always… always wait for you.

But Zhishu, this is so painful. I live my days feeling like it would be better to just die. I travel around the places that you have always wanted to go to, but I never brought you to. I went to the same places three times. Once if for me, twice is for you, and the last is for us. I eat all the food that you like, read the books that you’ve read, watched the movies that you’ve mentioned. Yet I still never managed to erase the feeling of emptiness that has rooted in my chest. Everything I do, I feel like there should be you right next to me.

Zhishu, I think I’m reaching my limit.

I want to see you, I want to touch you, I want to keep you in my arms. I want to apologize for the things I have done to you, amend it one by one. So give me a chance to do it, okay.

Zhishu, wait for me. I’m coming now. I will go find you now.

“Wenxu Jiang! Who do you think you are, sleeping in my class?! Go stand in the hallway!”

A loud roar shattered Wenxu Jiang’s blurry mind as he straightened his body to look around, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he asked himself, “Is this a dream?”

A soft chuckle drifted from his side, followed by a warm sensation from the fingers that touched his forehead. “Have you gone silly?” The boy whispered with the gentlest smile.
