Camera Phones

Night Time Jitters

 

“Ge, can I borrow your phone?” Tao asked, unintentionally giving him puppy dog eyes.

Kris eyed him suspiciously; the last time he had lent him his phone, the maknae had dropped it in a fountain while trying to play an app on it. He was hesitant about giving it to him again, but none the less handed it over.

“Tao, don’t move,” Lay instructed. The boy held the facial expression he was making while the elder boy took a picture on his own phone.

“What was that for?” the leader asked, confused.

“It’s just for when I need something from you. I’ll pull out this picture and you’ll bend to my every whim.”

Kris hit the back of his head and watched the raven haired boy retreat to the other side of the room, where Luhan sat with Xiumin and watched their Happy Camp episode. Xiumin looked at Tao weirdly as he fiddled around with the duizhang’s phone.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Well, I was gonna play an app, but then I noticed something.”

“What?”

“Kris doesn’t have enough photos of me.”

Luhan laughed at the comment and scooted closer to Tao, “What makes you think that?”

“Well he’s got these ninja shots of the other members and a couple of pictures of him with EXOK, but I’m rarely in any of these.”

“I wonder why,” the elder boy snickered some more and grabbed the phone, “Here, I’ll take some for you.”

“No, I can do them myself.”

“Luhan, you forgot you’re dealing with the selca king.”

Tao pouted at the nickname and took the phone back, sneaking off to the bathroom while making sure Kris wasn’t looking. To his luck, the leader was still reading his magazine and didn’t notice.

--

“He’s going to the bathroom,” lay commented, watching the maknae from the corner of his eye.

“I know,” Kris replied dully, flipping to the next page, “He’s probably gonna take some pictures.”

“And you’re going to let him?”

“Would you really deny that boy a camera?”

“Touche,” Lay laughed. Then he noticed something across the table and leaned over to grab it. It was Tao’s cell phone, apparently the younger had pretended to lose it so he could mess around on Kris’s. Kris knew this already, but didn’t want to kill the boy’s fun and just let him take his. That and the fact that he couldn’t deny his aegyo.

Lay smirked as he clicked the camera App and held it up towards Kris, “Kris.”

“No.”

“I didn’t even say anything!”

“I know exactly what you’re going to do.”

“Kriiiis,” Lay continued to whine. Kris shook his head and the boy sighed dejectedly, “I’m gonna make something to eat.”

“Don’t burn the kitchen down.”

Lay glared at him and hit his shoulder as he stood up and stalked off into the next room. Tao returned from the bathroom a few minutes later and took the Lay’s seat. He placed Kris’s phone back on the table, but saw his own had been moved. Then he got an idea, since he had taken pictures of himself on Kris’s phone, he should get some pictures of Kris on his own phone.

“Ge, look at me.”

“No.”

“Please?”

“You’re going to do the same thing Lay tried to do. The answer is no.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do because it’s you.”

“Please Ge?”

“May-”

’Maybe next time,’” Tao cut him off, mimicking what seemed to be his catchphrase. Kris looked up to glare at him and the maknae took that as the perfect opportunity to snap a picture, “Ge! You’re so photogenic!”

“I know.”

“Then let me take another picture!” He rolled his eyes and stared at the camera, “That’s boring, give me something y.”

“Why?”

“Just do it! If you’re embarrassed then pretend this is a photo shoot.”

Kris laughed and leaned forward, smirking, “Oh ZiTao, I’m not embarrassed,” Tao snapped a picture and grinned at the leader. He male leaned back in his chair and returned to his magazine, “Are you satisfied now?”

Tao didn’t respond, which made the duizhang look up again. The maknae’s face was flushed a light pink color. He was staring wide eyed at the picture and remained completely frozen. Kris grew a little concerned and lifted his hand up to take the phone. When he touched the screen, the boy immediately snapped out of his trance and yanked the device away from him, falling backwards in his chair in the process.

The crash was loud enough to be heard by all the members, and everyone looked in his direction. Even Chen and Lay, who were in the kitchen and bathroom, came out to see what had happened.

“Are you okay?!” Luhan yelled, jumping to his feet and running to his side.

“Y-yeah, I just got surprised is all,” Tao laughed, accepting Luhan’s help and getting to his feet.

“What did you do Kris?” Xiumin yelled, having looked over just in time to see hm fall, “You nearly scared the boy half to death!”

“I didn’t-”

“I just zoned out!” the maknae covered for him, bowing apologetically (even though he didn’t have to) as he made his way to his room. He boy quickly disappeared inside, locking the door behind him before he fell to his knees and buried his face in his hands.

Tao was completely embarrassed. He had humiliated himself in front of his hyungs and was caught red handed staring at Kris’s picture. Just thinking about it now made him pull out the phone and go to his camera roll.

That picture had to be the most attractive sight of Kris caught on film. It was still early in the morning, so his bed head was untamed and hot, suggesting a number of things the duizhang could have done the night before. The shirt he was wearing was loose, showing off his defined collarbones and a teasing shot of his chest. His sharp jaw line combined with his seductive smirk and piercing eyes gave Tao goose bumps.

Tao quickly shut his phone off before he could get into it again. Now he knew how the fangirls felt.

--

Meanwhile, Kris was left stunned at the kitchen table. He felt a pair of eyes on him and looked over at Lay, who was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.

“I didn’t do anything!” he defended himself.

“Right,” the younger boy smirked, disappearing back into the kitchen.

Kris let out a frustrated sigh and tried to go back to reading, but was too distracted with Tao’s reaction. He noticed the maknae had returned his phone and was curious to see what kind of pictures he had taken. As soon as he touched the lock button, the screen lit up and revealed his home screen wallpaper to be a picture of Tao’s ‘buing buing’ that he must have taken in the bathroom.

Kris couldn’t help but chuckle, That boy is too cute.

Chapter 34: I am just reminiscing Taoris by going back and reading your story stories again and I have read this many times for the last 3 years you have posted it but until now I still can't fully understand the ending of Unknown Caller that I wanted to ask again. Why is Yifan having massive nosebleed again in the ending?! Kris already went back to his world (well Tao push him) and the moment he went back was also the time Yifan stop having nosebleed as well since his other self (Kris) isn't in their world anymore. So from there on he stop having nosebleed, grow closer to Tao, become a couple and move in with him. But why is he suddenly so sick and having nosebleed again in the end? Does that mean Kris came back again in their world and so he triggered the nosebleed to start again?!

Also it confuses me that Luhan wasn't even a little surprise that Kris (Tao's ex) and Yifan (his current BF) look so much a like when he always is friend with Tao when he and Kris is still together. Also Tao's other friends didn't question him about it or didn't Yifan become suspicious on who Tao ex is?!

Chapter 3: I know right, spiders are frickin evil. (I have an archnophobia, I can't even look at pictures of them without flipping out and havin a mental break down) Also why did Luhan call Kris 'Hyung', Luhan is the second oldest in Exo, Kris is younger than him so Luhan shouldn't be calling someone thats younger than him his, 'Hyung'.
