This is probably going to end up being somewhat like a Changkyu pimp post, so prepare yourselves, lol.

Dude. Why does no one write this pairing? I see hundreds of fics about Jongkey. Why are there only like, six about Changkyu?

I mean, they're not even my OTP, and I'm not even a hardcore shipper of any pairing at all ( isn't really my thing...). But I do feel kind of injusticed at the lack of Changkyu.

Here, let me briefly outline why they are awesome.

First off, they are both snarky maknaes. They could be witty and tease each other mercilessly all they want. Plus, they're around the same age, so neither of them would need to use the word "hyung"! (They're both Feburary 1988 babies, awww)

And second, as I was saying to my friend, it would make for hilarious situations.

Imagine this: Changmin and Kyuhyun are hanging out, perhaps watching a drama together. Then Changmin gets hungry, because he has a bottomless pit as a stomach. And he's so used to his Jaejoongie umma cooking for him, so of course he is not going to be the one to cook. So it has to be Kyu. Only Kyuhyun can't cook to save his life, as evidenced by his many fails in the kitchen (like the Han River noodles incident, and the seasame oil incident.) So they would most likely just end up eating cup noodles or something, lol. Or maybe they would eat out. Or maybe they would just starve.

Third, they are totally best friends. I have a bunch of examples for this. One, this video of Kyu calling Changmin during Foresight. It is so adorable. Changmin was willing to just drop everything and come to Kyu's aid. And then in the end, they were all like "Saranghae~" to each other. THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Two, this video of Changmin (and Yunho) doing aegyo on SSTP radio. "Kyuhyun, are you watching? I love you~" SO CUTE.

Three, this:  “(Your voice is like) Carbonara, because while I’m feeling it, I’m completely captivated and lost within that feeling. And it’s like caramel macchiato; Because it’s so sweet, no matter when I listen to it, it warms my heart and makes me feel relaxed. Your voice is the only one in this world, the one super star and top idol that belongs only to me…”

- Shim Changmin to Cho Kyuhyun

The same quote (which was a text from Changmin to Kyuhyun during a Youngstreet broadcast) is also mentioned here. Note that Changmin mentioned Kyuhyun in his Thanks To ("My friend, who has to do a dance battle together with me someday, caramel macchiato voice, top star Cho Kyuhyun"). 

OHMG. IS THAT NOT THE SWEETEST THING EVER?

Four, Kyuhyun's 5jib Thanks To.

MY KYULINE LOVE SHIM CHWANG. (Shim Changmin).

See how much love there is between my two favorite maknaes? <3

Five, "THE K SHOWW - DBSK danced to Sorry Sorry at the behind of stage while waiting for their turn. Changmin at the first sight, looked at Kyuhyun and gave him a shot of love (blowing kiss)."

(from @Kyuhyunbiased)

OKAY CHANGKYU PIC SPAM TIME. None of these are mine, and most of them are from the SMTown concert, because they are almost never together, due to their schedules (sob, star-crossed best friends.)

They are just so happy together. <3

THEY WORE MATCHING SWEATERS. HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT.

In conclusion: Maknae love is adorable. Everyone should write more of it. The end.
