My Boyfriend Saves the World Every Day

“I like you.”

Yu Ting thought about a lot of things. His mind filled with the words of others: senior year was the most important year of your life; there would be plenty of time for love and wasting time later, while doing this now meant frittering away your life and giving up on yourself.

And the person confessing to him was a bad student who liked to fight and had dyed his hair white.

Yu Ting thought he had considered it for a long time, but in truth, it was only three seconds. He took the other boy’s hand and said, “Okay. I like you too.”

Then one day, while Yu Ting was at school, the sky above the campus split open, and a massive monster descended.

His boyfriend came down from the sky, pulled him into his arms, and faced the monster from a distance. “I don’t care what you are. Stay away from him.”

“Get lost.”

A superpowered boy and his rich, beautiful, top-student boyfriend. A short story about the everyday romance of high school students.
