kind to a fault.
Description
Yixing forces a smile despite his bruised hips and Luhan pretends like everything is okay despite crying himself to sleep every night because perhaps their incapability to be selfish does more than just destroy themselves.
Foreword
excerpt:
“You should get going. I’m sure Minseok Hyung has been wondering why you haven’t been sleeping in your room with him lately. I’m sure that he’s just as worried about you as well.”
The statement sends alarms ringing in Luhan’s head because he’s fine so why is Yixing worrying about him? Is he trying to kick him out? Politely tell him that sharing a bed with him has become uncomfortable now?
He doesn’t realize that he’s started to tremble until Yixing pulls away from their embrace to look at him curiously, “Lu?”
“I’m okay,” the older man quickly insists. “I’m okay and I want to stay here. Minseok won’t mind. Minseok understands. I want to stay here.” I want to stay here so that I can watch over you. I want to stay here so that I can protect you. I want to stay here so that I can chase away the nightmares and fend off the demons that try to eat away at your mind while you sleep because I’m the only one that can do it. I want to stay here because I want to stay with you.
But he doesn’t say any of that aloud so Yixing never becomes aware of it.
