Sunflowers Follow The Sun

🌻

“Paulo hurry!” Stell giggles as he tried to help his lover hop on the barrier of the road. Summer is around the corner and It was already 5 am. The couple decided to take an early date in the patch of sunflower field near their block.

Paulo actually wasn’t in the mood to stir this early since he was awake till 3am, but by around 4:30, he heard a tap on his second floor window while sleeping and when checked it, it was Stell. Smiling widely beneath his window holding a couple of pebbles to throw at on his casement.


He found himself following his lover.
But how could he resist those giggles? Those smiles that he knew was only for him? Those gaze that anytime could melt him if they stared at each other any more longer? Paulo is a slave to those cute gestures.


“Why did you want to go here all of a sudden?”

Paulo asked as he huddles closer to Stell to feel his warmth, the latter answered him by entwining their fingers to each other.

“Nothing really. I just heard that sunflowers follow the sun, so I wanna check them out” And Stell continued talking, while Paulo stared at him with loving gaze, admiring every feature of his partner’s face. From his eyes down to his lips. He felt giddy only by kissing every aspect of this man’s face. Especially whenever he blush after that deed.

 
Paulo felt alive whenever he sees Stell.


Can he even survive without him?


No he doesn’t wanna think that.
“I love you” Paulo suddenly blurted making Stell stop at his tale. With surprised expression, he looked at his lover.


“W-why are you saying that out of nowhere?” Stell asked and laughed, trying to hide his blush. Sun was almost rising and Paulo could clearly see strawberries beneath his partner’s cheeks. He found it cute.


Paulo then huggled closer to his partner, trying to feel Stell’s broad shoulders that he find most attractive on his body. Despite his large figure, Stell was soft to him. Filling up those missing pieces inside him. He find it safe, he find it secure. 


“This is bad” Stell said as he huggled back to Paulo, resting his head on his lover’s shoulder. 

“I’m falling deeper than before” The younger man confessed and Paulo hummed. 

“Do you not like it?” Paulo asked and he felt Stell shake his head on his shoulder, hugging tighter, as if he doesn’t wanna let go.

“I like it. Do you like it?”


“I do”
The older man heard his lover sigh. “I don’t wanna let you go. I love you so much”
Paulo felt the same.

“Do you remember how I told you you’re like a sun?”
Paulo asked as he stared at the skies turning orange, indicating the sunrise. The sunflowers, slowly turning their heads towards the rising sun. 


“Yeah why?” Stell asked as he lifted his head to look at his partner.

“If you’re the sun then I’ll be your sunflower”

“How come?”

“Because sunflowers follow the sun, wherever they are.”


Stell giggled. “What if your sun can’t be found?”


Paulo then shifted his eyes toward Stell’s. The sunrise reflecting on his man’s eyes.


He felt like crying. How can he have such a beautiful loving man? What did he do to deserve this?


Does he deserve it?


He can’t let go now


“Sunflowers can’t grow without sun, if that’s so I’ll wait. No matter where you are, I’ll find you.”


“Always?”


“Always”


The sun finally rised and sunflowers turned their heads towards the blue sky. With the two lovers embracing each other, creating a promise.
