You were 7000 km away. Zip code 4801 that differed from his greatly. Across the largest ocean in the world, in the smallest continent. So many numbers and the only number keeping you two connected was only 10 digits long. You were in the gorgeous, sandy white oasis of the Whitsunday's while Miya was still in Japan.

When you were up and ready for a day filled with walks on the boardwalk, swimming with stingrays and volleyball on the beach, Miya was snug under the blankets, getting ready for bed. And while he was up and getting ready for the day, you were exhausted, under the sheets after a nice warm shower and the faint feeling of sand stuck between your shoes and crevices of your bunk.

"It's a special getaway for our grade for only for 2 weeks, I'll be back for the last week of holiday, and I'll spend it with you, I swear," you had said to him before you left.

"You'll call every night, promise?"

"Promise."

And you had kept that promise dearly, you would always have time for him, but sadly the calls only lasted 5-10 minutes before one of you was whisked away for the 9:30am, booked activity or the soothing siren of sleep.

Texts were sent and missed, replies coming across every 2 hours. You were always busy with activities, and he was always going about his day. Besides, it was your special trip with your class, Miya didn't want to ruin that for you and take up too much of your time. You deserved that much.

But after 10 long days of brief communication and dozens of missed messages, the stars finally aligned and on a chilly, Saturday afternoon for Miya, he was free as were you at 9pm by your bedside window.

"How cool is this Miya? It's a window, and there's also a little seated area by it!! When I'm buying my own house, this is a must-have," you beamed as you showcased the room you were in.

He smiled, "It looks cosy, that's a huge room though, how many of you are sharing?"

"It was meant to be 4 but one of the girls went home with food poisoning. So, it's just the three of us. But tonight, the other girls are out until 1am at some fireworks show they practically begged the teachers to bring them to, so it's just me here until then!"

Miya smiled seeing you recount the day and what's happened so far. The sun had brought out a warm tint to your skin and your lips were smooth and pink. Your skin looked fantastic and bright and you looked so happy.

"And guess what- I saw a WHALE. AN ACTUAL WHALE, ALL UP CLOSE. And there are these beautiful things called koalas and we went to a zoo and saw them and- aw Miya they are ADORABLE." You had sent Miya pictures along with the call and he had saved them all. He couldn't tell what was cuter, you or the koala (definitely you, your smile was just out of this world in that picture).

You had asked about his day and he waved it off, saying it was just 'the same as ever' and that he would 'rather hear what great Aussie adventures you had gotten up to.'

It was adorable, seeing your face, lighting up as you recount the wonderful beach holiday. Viewing the starry night sky on a picnic blanket at the beach, snuggled up beneath cosy blankets, whispering with your friends. Walking through a boardwalk with the chill, ADJECTIVE evening air flurrying in your face as you browsed the market stalls and amusement rides stationed on either side of you. Learning various craft and meeting the locals who taught you new experiences on the way. You were having a fantastic time. Miya wasn't jealous of you, quite the opposite, in fact, he was happy for you. He was just yearning to be there with you.

"It's beautiful here Miya, there's only one thing missing," you said.

"Don't say me, that's the cheesiest shit I'll ever hear."

You rolled your eyes playfully, "I wasn't going to say YOU."

"Alright then, what's missing?" he said with a smirk.

"Uh- your cat."

"No way, Nini's mine."

"I'm almost 200% sure she likes me more than you, don't you Nini?"

And at that moment, Nini just ran out the door, you faintly caught the figure bolting out of there as Miya burst into laughter.

"Okay, rude," you side eyed, but then quickly joined Miya in breaking down.

"Yeah, but seriously," you started, "I would love if you were here."

"Me too, y/n, there is nothing more than I want than to be by your side. But, hey, it's your special trip, you're having lots of fun and I'm glad you are."

"And you called me cheesy," you smiled as Miya rolled his eyes at you, not quite hiding his smile or his blush.

"Oh, shut up," he said.

"One day, I'll take you here, I promise."

"I'll hold you to that. Anyways, you'll be back in just 4 days, right? Enjoy yourself then. Now tell me more about those quokka things."

"Oh My GOD-" you started as you rambled on about the most adorable critters you've ever seen (seriously guys, search them up they're the cutest things).

You guys went on, talking about everything and sweet nothings at the same time, filling each other in on what you missed. Silky, sandy, white beaches and the most magnificent wildlife couldn't reach the same part of your heart that lit up for Miya. Being in the familiarity and comfort of the jade-eyed boy who was always there to listen and support you, that was the best thing. Almost better than quokkas and koalas.

"I really miss you though, I think about you a lot" you trailed off as your eyelids shuttered.

"You too y/n," Miya smiled, "I'll be right back, Nini's bugging me for food." He said as he paused the video and went down to feed his cat. As his finger hovered over the button, he noticed you guys had been talking for 3 and a half hours now. Jeez, it must have been late for you. He hurried back and as he unpaused the screen, he smiled at what was facing him.

"Hey, y/n I'm ba-" you were fast asleep, you eyelashes drooping down and a baby blue blanket sprawled out across you. You were tired after the day you had but kept yourself up to talk to Miya, you hadn't even noticed how much time had passed until you went to grab a blanket as Miya left and then huddled close to how soft and warm it was until you faded into the sweet abyss of sleep.

Miya's smile grew wider as he watched you. "Isn't this creepy? Like watching your crush sleep? Surely her being my girlfriend changes things. I mean I'd let her watch me sleep. Has she ever watched me sleep??" Miya thought to himself as he watched your chest slowly rise and fall as you were breathing in and out. You looked so sweet and at peace, he thought leaving the call on and checking up on you from time to time was fine. So, he did that.

At one point, while he was doing his holiday homework and sneaking glances at you when he needed energy to continue, he heard static from the call. It would only have been 1:05am for you, you mentioned your friends wouldn't be back until after 2am to grab some food when the show ended. He stopped and then noticed you were talking in your sleep.

"M-Miya, I'm backk," you said drowsily as your shuffled around in your bed.

Were you dreaming about him?? He thought and his face literally broke out into the biggest smile. Wait that's the cutest thing I've ever seen. And he mentally made a note to bring that up as soon as you woke up the next morning.

He reluctantly ended the call at around 1:30am, so your phone battery wouldn't die with him just watching you breathe the whole night, "Sweet dreams y/n" he'd softly whispered as he pressed the big, red button.

You woke up, bright and early at the ripe crack of dawn at 6am with your friends/bunkmates bursting onto your bed and excitedly telling you about the night they had. You smiled and told them you'd listen to the other half of their story at the breakfast hall after you had gotten up, brushed your teeth and got dressed. They shortly left after and you checked your phone.

Wait, wasn't I calling Miya last night? I don't remember ending the- oh my god. Did I fall asleep on him??

Your eyes widened as you saw your last call, call lasted 4 hours 30 minutes. You did fall asleep on him. You smiled while also being mildly embarrassed. God, what must he have thought seeing you fall asleep? You tapped his contact and sent him a quick message, "Did I fall asleep on you last night!?!!"

You were also a bit confused; you remember him saying he was going to feed his cat and that's when you got your blankets out, slowly falling prey to slumber. That was at 12:30, you called him at 9, so doing your maths right, that would have only been 3 hours and 30 minutes. Why had the call lasted for longer?

The realization struck you like a lightning bolt to land.

He was watching you sleep.

Your hands went straight to your face. And you broke out in laughter. There was no way that boy was watching you sleep for a straight hour. Wait. Did you have drool on your face?? Did you look cute??

Your mind quickly went to your phone as you heard a buzz from it and saw the lit up screen. Miya had replied back, "Yup, and I've the screenshots to prove it"

"Delete those." You sent back, smiling that you were at the healthy point in your relationship, not caring how Miya saw you because you knew you would both accept each other either way.

"Never." He replied back and you rolled your eyes at the phone, smiling as replied with an angry emoji and got ready for the day.

You got to the hall, meeting your friends as they excitedly told you about the rest of their day. You laughed hearing at what they got up to and as the hall hushed to hear the teachers direct everyone to the choice of itinerary today, your mind wandered back to Miya.

You felt a vibration in your pocket and quickly glanced at the screen, just reading the top of your notifications.

1 missed message from MIYAAA 🥰🛹

You smiled. No matter how far apart you two were, you could always be there for each other. You really thought how lucky you were to have this boy in your life, you were dead set on telling him that when you got back. Your fingers ambled towards the front pocket of your backpack, where you had a handful of little trinkets and plushies and one great, big souvenir to give to Miya when you got home.

 As soon as you made sure none of the teachers were glancing your way, you sneakily maneuvered into messages to check what you missed.
