"And that's what we have to do!"

"Heechul, I'm not really comfortable with that.." Sungmin blushed as he listened to Heechul talking.

"It's only a kiss, don't worry, we'll practice lots before the performance." The older boy winked seductively, and his lips before laughing.

"Practice?" the younger boy asked, his voice high and squeaky. "Heechul no!"

"I'll surprise you with kisses, until you get used to them!"

Sighing in defeat, Sungmin slumped on the sofa as Heechul grinned in victory.

 

The next day, Sungmin was sitting at the table for breakfast when he felt a pair of warm lips against his own. Jumping in suprise, he screamed.

"Heechul!"

The older boy just smiled. "Yes Minnie baby?"

"Don't call me baby.." the boy said grumpily, before pouting. Immediately his lips were claimed in another kiss.

"Stop it!"

"Now come on. You pouted and teased me by pushing your soft lips in my direction. I couldn't help it. It was an accident."

 

The next kiss was whilst Min was just watching television, his eyes bright as he watched the cartoons. With a pillow close to his chest, he looked so innocent, so precious. Heechul hesitated for a second before pressing a kiss to his lips, this time more passionate than before. This was a kiss from his heart.

The boy looked upset as he ran to his room, and Leeteuk went after him. As he was going into the room, he stopped to get a glass of water for the boy. When he went into the room, he saw the boy touching his lips where Heechul had kissed him, and crying softly.

 

Leeteuk sat next to him, and watched as the boy pulled his fingers from his lips and blushed scarlet.

"Minnie, would you like me to talk to Heechul? I'll get him to stop kissing you, you're not comfortable with it and so it's not okay for him to force you into it."

Sungmin just shook his head. "Please don't make him stop hyung. I-I like it..."

Holding the boy close, Leeteuk wiped his tears. "Do you want to be with Heechul?"

"Yes.." The boy sniffled. "But I'm just a performance to him.."

"I'm sure he doesn't think that. I'll talk to him about the kissing."

 

As the leader left, Min went to take a bath, hoping to clear his mind. Sinking into the warm bubbly water, he closed his eyes and imagined being with Heechul, imagined kissing him every day. The warm soft lips that pressed against his own as though they were meant to go together. He could remember the sweet taste of white chocolate on the boy's lips, and the gentle way he had kissed him. The memory felt so real, and Sungmin gasped when he opened his eyes to see Heechul kissing him for real.

 

"Heechul! I'm in the bath! You've crossed a line.."

"Look at your blush. Would you like me to leave?"

"N-no.."

The older boy looked at Sungmin carefully, his flushed cheeks and the cute way that he was biting his lips nervously. His crush was clear on his face.

 

So he put his arms around Sungmin, claiming his lips in a soft kiss. He expected Min to be hesitant, to want to go slowly. Now that he knew about the boy's crush, he felt guilty for forcing himself upon the boy, for kissing him when he didn't want it. Pressing his lips tenderly against his new boyfriend's, he showed his love for Min.

 

Over the next week, they kissed everywhere, and at all times. It got to the point where even shy Ryeowook would pull them apart and tell them off. Heechul was kind and loving with gentle butterfly kisses, and Sungmin thanked him by kissing back passionately. 

 

By the time of the performance, the kiss was as easy as breathing. And it wasn't just for the performance, it wasn't just for show. It was for them.
