“Everything is Blue”
A BL Story written by Elle
My first and only relationship was with Dmitri. He was my first and longest relationship. Many people asked me about my dating experience, and to their disappointment, I could only talk about him.
I come from an upper class family — living in the Philippines was easy if you have the money. Dmitri didn’t. Their family was higher than poverty, but lower than a middle-class family. Our family supported not only their family, but many other families aswell. We funded charity for families like his.
On the second year of college, he transferred to De La Salle University with the help of charity funds. I never talked to him; yet I only felt pity. How could someone live a life like that?
FIRST MEETING (PAST)
Monday, 8:45AM
“Elias?”
Huh? Who called me? I don’t remember that voice-
“Oh.. Dmitri!” -E
“We met when we were still kids, do you remember?”
“… Yeah..” -E
I actually didn’t, but I did know about his background. He was taller than me, which sucks, probably around 190cm? He skin was on the tanner side, like a hikory brown — that matched with his long black hair, long enough that it was touching his broad shoulders.
He wore a black turtleneck and creme pants. It felt as though he was hiding something from me? I just couldn’t place my finger on it. But something was up.
“Anyways.. how are you?”
“I’m doing quite well. I was taller than you when we were younger.” -E
“I had my growth spurt in my first year of Senior High School!”
I was about to say goodbye, ‘till I heard him mutter something to me.
(“You look prettier in person..”)
…
“Hm? What?” -E
“O-oh.. nothing. See you later!”
I pretended I didn’t hear, of course I wouldn’t. Prettier?..

“Elias!”
Oh, it’s Dmitri. I still feel kind of uncomfortable around him though, maybe because I don’t open up fast.
“Dmitri! How are you?” -E
“I was wondering if you were free on Friday, 1:30PM? Let’s hang out more often, Eli.”
Eli? That’s the first time someone called me a nickname, that’s cute.
“I’ll check my schedule. I will update you soon!” -E
Friday, 1:20PM
"im alrdy here at the cafe.. (ᗒᗨᗕ)
are you on your way? ( •_•)"A message notification beeped my phone. Dmitri?
Pfft.. whats with the emoticons? Elias smiled from ear to ear.
"Yes, please reserve a table for us"Dmitri smiled, waving his hand left and right, signaling Elias where to sit.
“I baked citrus cookies for you, I didn’t know what else you liked, so I baked my favorite.”
A gift. The last gift I got was in kindergarten. I never had close friends. I struggled with expressing my emotions— ‘til today. Everyone eventually grew tired of me. They never knew how much I cared for them or how I felt. Isn’t Dmitri tired of me?
Dmitri gave the citrus cookies. Elias loved them. As time flew by, the two spent hours talking to each other, slowly getting to know the other person even better.
I felt this whole new emotion. Do people feel this with a person they’re close with? To be honest, Dmitri was the first person I could open up to, and feel comfortable with. Of course, I wouldn’t tell him that.
“I enjoyed this day with you, Dmitri. Let’s meet up again soon.” -E
“I did as well. Goodnight, Eli.”
As Elias walked out of the cafe, about to get a taxi, a girl suddenly walked up to him.
“H-hi.. I think you’re cute, can I get your number?”
This was a normal occurence for me. Tan skin, long hair.. she reminds me of Dmitri. Just to be nice, I’ll give her my number.
This should be okay right?
