A little Raken chapter for y'all since I've been away like forever

"Okay so I must warn you. Hyuk can be a little blunt, it's kinda just him. You know?"

"Uh huh"

"But he's a real nice kid you get me. Sure he blatantly has no respect for his hyungs and sometimes I feel like pushing him out of a window but after all he's part of the family you know?"

"Yep"

"He's also a bit of a sarcastic bu-"

"Okay Jae. Inhale for 3 and exhale for 3" Wonshik let's out a chuckle, grabbing his hand with a firm squeeze "we're going to meet a friend of yours not meet the queen of England"

"Funny you should say that. Sometimes I think he thinks he's royalty" he sniggers into his scarf

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Stop panicking"

He sighs deeply. Watching the snow gently fall from the sky "I wonder how Hakyeon and Teakwoon Hyung are" he ponders with his nose scrunched up

"They're probably doing fine. I know Hyung can be a little reserved but it's nothing like how he used to be six months ago. You wouldn't have been able to get a word out of him. When I first met him, having a conversation with him was more me talking and him nodding. Plus from what I hear, Hakyeon hyung can't stop talking so there's really no need for him to when his area of expertise is listening. They're like the perfect friends!" he finishes with a grin 

"Well Hakyeon does like to talk an awful lot but Teakwoon hyung seems okay with that"

"I must admit. I've seen Hyung smile more in the past couple of days than I have my entire time knowing him"

"Hakyeon has that effect on people. He'll rarely let anything bring his mood down. Except for the time Hyuk threw a party in Hakyeons house for his 20th, with his concent and the only rule being that it was only supposed to be a couple of friends but more and more people were turning up and I didn't have the heart to tell them to leave. I thought a drink would calm my nerves and that one drink led to many more drinks. Hakyeon came home to find his house a mess, jam packed and everyone wasted. Including me"

"Was he angry?"

"We didn't think so at first. He greeted everyone so calmly. Said hey to everyone he knew but, by the time he reached me. I could see the fire in his eyes. I had never been so scared in all of my life. I tried to convince him it really was Hyuk's idea but until this day he still believes it was my idea. Hyuk's good at getting away with things like that given that he's the youngest of us all. He has the power of innocence and he'll use it every time"

"Well he sounds like an utter delight"

"He's the spawn of Satan don't let him convince you otherwise"

"Duly noted. So where exactly does this little devil live. My fingers are going to start turning blue if I don't get a little warmth to them" Wonshik breaths into his hands, heating them the slightest

"We're almost there. It's the apartments another block away and as for the frostbite, you would be the one to come out into the snow without gloves" he grins, wriggling his fingers

"Okay so maybe I'm not as prepared for the winter as you are but you don't have to rub it in. I'll have to have at least four fingers amputated by the time we reach Hyuks. Whiles yours stay nice and toasty"

"You're such a little kid sometimes" he laughs, grabbing Wonshik's hand and stuffing it in his jacket pocket

"Oh there we go that's warm. You have such great ideas" Wonshik grins. Shoving his other hand in his pocket

"Mhmm. I happen to take pride in my brilliant ideas but, next time you want to hold my hand. Just say so" he winks. Watching in amusement as Wonshik chokes on his own saliva. His face turning beetroot

"Oh please. My hand was just so very very cold and I happened to make a comment on it. You're the one that held my hand so you're the one that wants to hold hands not me"

He restrains a laugh as Wonshik's face seems to glow bright red

"Yeah I wanted to hold your hand, it looked cold and you know, mine are all toasty and stuff and I just thought maybe they needed a little warmth but if you don't want to hold my hand then okay" he loosens his grip on Wonshik's hand

"No!. I mean that's okay, I could use the warmth. Right?"

"Right. For the warmth " he nods in agreement

They walk another 5 minutes in a comfortable silence until they reach the building that Hyuk lives in They come to the main entrance and buzz the flat number. Waiting a few seconds before there's a crackle and Hyuk's voice comes from the other end

"What do you want?"

"Wow is that really how you greet you're guests?. I'm offended young man, I didn't raise you to be like that"

"Jaehwan hyung. You didn't raise me at all, I am not your child no matter how much you wish I was. Because I'm amazing"

"Just let us in before we freeze to death" he grumbles, feeling deflated by the younger boys rejection

"We?.As in?"

"We as in plural. More than one"

"Don't get smart. I'll hang up and let you freeze to death"

"Okay okay I brought Wonshik with me. Happy?, now please let us in since I'm asking ever so nicely"

"Well since you said please"

He nearly cries of joy when the door beeps and they both finally shuffle in out of the cold and make their way up the stairs to the second floor. Where Hyuk waits for them at the door

"Come on in, I was just making some hot chocolate" he ushers them both in and shows them to the living room while he returns to the kitchen

Wonshik takes the time he's away to have a look around. It's not too small but not too big. Perfect for just the one person. The walls are painted a sunset kind of orange and the two lamps in the opposite sides of room gave a cosy glow to the place The stacks of manga and video games scattered over the floor at the tv didn't escape his notice and he sees the kid was in the middle of a game of mortal kombat

"So what brings you up here. Other than to see my fabulous self of course" Hyuk enters the living room with two hot cups of cocoa

"Jaehwan's idea really. I don't know how I got roped up into it. I quite enjoy having a lot of me, myself and I time with my bed"

"My sentiments exactly" Hyuk grins. Turning to Jaehwan  "I like him. He has a deep understanding of the love for sleep and he also knows you're an idiot" he states before skipping off to retrieve his own cocoa

"One of these days I'm going to murder you. You know that, right?" He huffs. Puffing his cheeks out

"We both know that day will never come. I'm the light of everyone's life. Without me you would all just be soulless and dull. Never living life on the wild side"

"Okay settle down tiger. You know I beat you the last time we played mortal kombat. Up for seeking revenge?" He gestures towards the tv

"Only if Hyung plays the winner. Which will obviously be me because last time we played my guy was totally glitching" Hyuk crosses his arms with a smug grin

"That's what you always say when I beat you. Up for playing the winner Wonshik?" He sits himself on the floor with his mug

"I'd be stupid to pass up a game of mortal kombat. I'm in"

"Oh my god, you got yourself a catch hyung. Please never let this one go" Hyuk practically yells just as the buzzer goes. Giving both boys enough time to cool their flushed cheeks as he runs to answer it He returns a minute later with a bottle of coke and a pizza. Placing them both on the table in the middle of the room

"Food is here" he does a dramatic bow. Opening the lid to reveal a delicious looking pepperoni pizza

"What when did you order food?"

"Uh...about half an hour ago" Hyuk admits sheepishly

"You didn't even know we were going to be here half an hour ago. We actually didn't give you any prior warning at all"

"I had a gut feeling I'd have visitors so I ordered food in advance what's so wrong about that. Feel privileged I'm giving you pizza" he huffs. Not meeting either of then in the eye

"Hyuk. Did you order an entire 10 inch pizza to eat by yourself?"

"No" 

"Really?" Wonshik joins in. Giving the youngster a look of disbelief

"Maybe?"

"You were weren't you" he grins already grabbing a slice

"Yeah okay so what if I was. I paid for it I'm entitled to eat it" Hyuk finally gives in. Grabbing a slice for himself

"I'd grab a piece hyung. Jaehwan doesn't have a stomach he has an endless pit so dig in"

"You don't have to tell me twice" he dives for the box. Stomach grumbling in anticipation
