NIELJOE (L.Joe x Niel) (1/1)

The first time Niel saw him, it was only for a fleeting second. Still, the man caught his attention. His brown hair flopped down into his eyes, which twinkled with childlike curiosity. His neck was enveloped in a thick wool scarf and he was swaddled warmly in his coat. The road was icy but still he ran. He hurried past him, all smiles and excitement.Niel was taken aback by his presence and almost tripped over his own feet. He tried not to stare at the shorter male as he whipped out his camera and made noises of astonishment and wonder while he snapped pictures of everything around him. He was alone, but he didn't seem lonely. He smiled to himself as he lowered his camera and scrolled through the pictures. He let go of it once he was done and hummed as he unfolded his map. His eyes lit up as they scanned the page and he dashed off, already on his way to his next location.Niel realized with a jolt that he had stopped in the middle of the road, and passerbys were shooting him odd looks. He blushed at his own distraction and turned, hurrying away. Niel sighed blissfully as he collapsed on his couch."What are you doing?"His roommate, Minsoo, stared down at him. His head had landed in his lap."I just saw this amazing guy."Minsoo scoffed and pushed him away."I don't care. Let me watch TV.""Oh, but he was so cute. He must have been into photography or a tourist or something, because he was taking pictures all excited. And his smile was so adorable…" Niel recounted dreamily."You didn't happen to get his tattoo, did you?""No.""Good. That would have been terrible if he actually was a tourist."Niel paused and realized with disappointment that he might have just been a visitor."You're right. I might never see him again," he deflated."Well, at least you got his name, right?"Minsoo side-eyed him when he stayed silent."Seriously? Not even a name?""Well, he didn't exactly give me a chance to start a conversation. He dashed off really fast," he said defensively.Minsoo rolled his eyes."Okay, thank god you didn't get his tattoo then," he pushed Niel off the couch and off his lap, "Now let me watch TV."
