Chapter Text
Nothing could surprise Till anymore at this point.
Becoming a couple with Ivan was definitely not something the past him could have ever imagined but when the two oblivious fools finally got together everyone in Anakt high all cheered for no longer having to bear witness to their horrendous job of pretending they weren't mutual pining fools.
Then came the surprising fact that Ivan had only decided to attend Anakt high, a very normal highschool that was leagues below Ivan's standards and qualifications, all because Till had helped him out while he was being mugged.
Till later learnt that Ivan was proficient in various martial arts and self defense techniques and that Ivan would not have been mugged but would have become the mugger had Till not interfered, they were simply reaping what they sowed as Ivan put it, but he just lets Ivan retell the story seen from Ivan’s rose tinted lenses every time someone asks what made Ivan fall in love with someone like Till.
“He saved me from a bunch of scary people who were looking to beat me up.” Ivan boasted.
The surrounding classmates would all swoon at his story of their first meeting, how Till had appeared at the right timing to save Ivan from said scary people clutches and how they would end up running away together with Till telling Ivan not to let go of his hand but he never once mentioned the part that they were only going after him after he had said some rather… interesting things to their faces unprompted.
Which brings us to the present. Ivan standing in the empty classroom with only Till in it with a, with lack of better words, solemn face.
If this was a usual day, the both of them would quietly be doing their own things, Ivan revising another one of his advanced class textbooks while Till dozed off to the sound of paper shuffling and the cries of the students who were running around the soccer field.
"I have something to confess."
Till tries not to let the discomfort show on his face as he urges Ivan to continue.
"But before I confess, you have to promise not to get mad no matter what."
He feels a twinge in his heart, Ivan's guilty face not helping as countless unpleasant thoughts appear.
Did he cheat on me? He definitely didn't seem happy with my sudden visit to his house yesterday... Or maybe he wants to break up!? Till had only recently gotten used to receiving Ivan's love without feeling guilty and it might not be an exaggeration to say that he would probably die without Ivan now.
Hyuna had always warned him that cheaters would always be cheaters but if this was just a mistake, couldn't Till just forgive him just this once? Everyone makes mistakes don't they?
"Alright. I promise."
Ivan still doesn't look reassured but slowly slides his phone towards Till, a password locked folder greeting him.
"The passwords TillTheEnd with no spacings..."
Till takes the phone slowly, it felt just like a pandora box with how Till had no idea what was contained inside this folder, keying in the password the images that show up make him flinch back.
"WHAT IS THIS!"
"You promised not to be mad!"
A multitude of pictures featuring Till's sleeping face, many of them seemed as though they were taken in the same classroom they were currently in, the flush on Till's face brightens as he scrolls to see that not only were there photos, there were even videos!?
"It was just a little keepsake at first but then i saw you making a cute face when you slept over at my place so of course i'm not letting go of the chance to take such a rare picture!!"
Till almost wants to beat Ivan up but restraints himself remembering the promise he made.
"Then what's with the videos and audio files..."
Till could almost cry out in embarrassment, thinking about what the audio files could contain.
Ivan seemed to waver, as though he knew that confessing was equally as bad as not confessing.
"Well.. That's...Ah ah!! WAIT WAIT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S IN IT SO DON'T DELETE THAT!!!"
Till unwillingly moves his hand away from the delete button that was calling out to him.
"well.. you have this cute habit of calling out my name in your sleep so... HEY DON'T DELETE THAT I HAVEN'T MADE COPIES OF IT YET! TILL! TILL!!!!"
