Coin Operated Boy

Coin Operated Boy

 

Coin operated boy
Sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
But I turn him on and he comes to life
Automatic joy

Keys hands shook as he fuddled with the two silver coins he held, eyes staring at the still figure that sat in the corner of his room. 
With familiar and hurried steps he rushed towards it, his fingers working the practiced act of shoving the two coins in the metal slot.

His heart raced as the figures eyes fluttered open slowly, the chocolate orbs darting around the lavish room before turning into two happy crescents when they landed on Key’s lithe frama

"Jjong..."

"Hello Key." mechanical smooth words fell from the dolls lips as the grin stretched the plastic around his cheek "I've missed you"

That is why I want a coin operated boy
Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting.
Who could ever ever ask for more
Love without complications galore

Jonghyun was sitting on the trunk at the end of the bed, his limbs bent at the joints and his head down.
Key smiled softly looking at him, running his lithe fingers through the dolls brown locks, giggling as his head jerked to lean into Keys touch. 
Jonghyun wasn't as smooth as a real boy, his movements still far from realistic but he would learn

Coin operated boy
All the other real ones that I destroy
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll
Never let him go and I'll never be alone
Not with my coin operated boy......

"Kibum! Open the door" Key sighed, nestling his head into the cold span of plastic and rubber that formed Jonghyuns thighs.
Choi Minho stood below his bedroom window, begging for just a chance to speak with him, to plead with him.

To take him away from his coin operated boy.

This bridge was written to make you feel smitten
With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer

"WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US KEY" Minhos thundering voice boomed thoughout the small study, his eyes bulging in frustration and annoyance at his boyfriend.

"Do what Minho? try and make us better?" The effeminate boy snarled in return, slamming his hands down on the oak desk and pushing himself up so he stood towering over Minhos head

"Why do you try and make me into some perfect little lap dog?!" Minho growled, standing aswell so they stood nose to nose and eye to eye "Why don't you accept me for how I ing am?!"

"I Do-"

"No you don't Key! What do you want from me?! Why aren't I good enough"

"You ar-"

"No I'm not! You don't want a boyfriend Key, You want a ing doll to parade around" Minho heard the loud smack of skin hitting skin before he felt his cheek burn, he blinked in confusion cautiously pulling his hand to touch the redened area on his cheek.

"did you just smack me?" he spat at the elder boy, not missing the tinge of fear that painted his features "Get out of my ing home Key."

"Bu-"

"Just go"

Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didn't think so but I'm still convincible

"Key come out! I'm sorry"

Will you persist even after I bet you
A billion dollars that I'll never love you

"Key please! I need you"

Will you persist even after I kiss you
Goodbye for the last time

"Key please. please I'm begging you"

Will you keep on trying to prove it?
I'm dying to lose it...I'm losing... my confidence
I want it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy.

"Key, I love you"
Key felt his eyes begin to water as he fought the temptation to run outside and fall into Minhos arms, he missed the taller boy with a heavy ache in his chest, like a million weights against his already fragile and fragmented heart
He allowed his legs to unfold from underneath him as he slowly stood, inching slowly to his door until he felt soft plastic grip his hand, jerkingly tugging him back
That's right. He didn't want Minho. He wanted Jonghyun.

And if I had a star to wish on
For my life I cant imagine
Any flesh and blood could be his match
I can even take him in the bath

Keys favourite day was a Saturday, it was when he didn't have to sit at his grandfather's old type writer and write small articles for the local newspaper, he could simply lounge all day in the bath with Jonghyuns crooked legs parted on either side of him, his arms firmly locked around his slim waist. The bath water would warm Jonghyuns plastic casing and Key could almost trick himself that Jonghyun was alive. That he was a real breathing boy.

Coin operated boy
He may not be real experienced with girls
But I know he feels like a boy should feel

When Jonghyun had first tried to kiss Key he had ended up nearly breaking the boys nose.
He had seen Key crying as he sat on the bed flicking through what appeared to be a book.
Jonghyun forced his limbs to bend and walk over to the blonde boy, saddened by the whimpers that kept falling from his mouth.
When he reached the side of the bed he jerked his head down to see what Key was staring at so intently. Shocked at the array of still images that filled the rich looking paper he had pointed to them eyes flickering between Key and the book

"They're photos Jjong"

"Pho-tos?"
 

"Yeah. They're like drawings but they're quicker to make. Minhos parents owned a camera"

"Min-Ho?"

The short bitter laugh that tumbled from Keys lips momentarily surprised Jonghyun, glancing curiously at the boy as he pointed to one specific photo, Key and a dark haired boy with their lips gently touching, smiles obvious in their touching mouths.

"That's Minho"

Jonghyun blinked once. Then twice. Key looked so happy in that picture. Maybe...

Jonghyun jolted his head down aiming for Keys lips with his own but instead accidentally smashing their noses together and causing Key to let out a loud yelp before smacking the back of Jonghyuns head, a small grin twisting his plump lips as he rubbed at his nose. 
Jonghyun felt his own smile grow, he had made Key smile.

Isn't that the point that is why I want a
Coin operated boy
With his pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is why I want
A coin operated boy.

Jonghyuns motions stilled as the clogs in his frame stopped, 
Key pretended not to notice for a while, forcing himself to believe the doll had simply just fallen asleep next to him. But as the arm around his waist soon began to feel like lead against his sensitive skin he had to accept that his time with Jonghyun for the day was over and with a heavy sigh lugged the boy to his corner, bringing his lithe fingers over the dolls face and smiling, leaning down to kiss its lips

"See you tomorrow Jjong"
Key ignored the way his heart hurt as he trudged back to his bed.
His coin operated boy would wake again tomorrow as it became today, and then his pain would disappear as today became yesterday

Chapter 1: This was adorable! Albeit heart-wrenching ;-; poor Minho, I feel so sorry for him.
Very well-written, though. All my life I've wanted to use that song as a base for a story but you got there first, and I have to say, I couldn't have done it any better than you did.
