Prompt: Sungyeol's lips are irresistible.

---

 

 

“Can you stop that?” Sungyeol asks as he scrolls through his phone.
 

“Stop what?” Myungsoo asks, leaning in and looking at Sungyeol.
 

“That,” Sungyeol says, voice laced with irritation.

 

Myungsoo scoots back a little but in no less than five minutes, he’s practically sitting on Sungyeol’s lap watching his every move.

 

“What? Is there something so interesting on my face?” Sungyeol asks, much more annoyed than before.
 

“Something like that,” Myungsoo says and his lips subconsciously.
 

“Well then, get it off if it’s bugging you so much,” Sungyeol says.
 

Myungsoo chuckles, “I can’t just take them off Sungyeol, that would be weird.”

 

“Take what off?” Sungyeol tries to look at his face but obviously that is impossible, “What exactly is on my face?”
 

“These,” Myungsoo says and leans in closer on Sungyeol, his practically on Sungyeol’s left thigh and he traces the outline of Sungyeol’s lips with his fingers.

 

This is weird, Sungyeol immediately thinks because Myungsoo is much too close for comfort right now and he’s afraid of what Myungsoo will do exactly, “What are you do-”
 

Before he can finish, Myungsoo clasps a hand over Sungyeol’s mouth, the feel of his calloused hands are smooth yet rough over the plumpness of Sungyeol’s lips. “See, if I cover them like this, you look weird without a mouth,” Myungsoo laughs.

 

Sungyeol pries his hand off and shoves Myungsoo to the ground, “You’re such a freak.”

Two weeks later, Sungyeol’s busy writing a paper for class when Myungsoo suddenly walks into his room and lays all over his bed.
 

“Don’t you have others to bug?” Sungyeol sighs as he tries to figure out a replacement word for ‘really’ because he’s used it over fifty times so far on his paper.
 

“So I was talking to Woohyun hyung and Dongwoo hyung the other day,” Myungsoo completely ignores Sungyeol’s question, “And have you ever noticed the size of their lips?”
 

“No,” Sungyeol deadpans and tries to focus on his paper.

 

“Woohyun hyung’s bottom lip is like, huge. Dongwoo hyung’s lips are just big all around.”
 

Sungyeol hums a reply and types furiously on his keyboard so Myungsoo continues speaking, “Your lips though, Yeol- why, they’re absolutely perfect. You have the most irresistible lips known to man.”

 

Sungyeol stops mid sentence in his typing and raises an eyebrow at Myungsoo, “You’re so weird.”

They’re eating lunch at this small family restaurant that Myungsoo likes and he’s just finished ordering half the menu when Sungyeol suddenly says, “What do you want for Christmas?”
 

Myungsoo turns to look at him while the waiter leaves with his order, “Why? Are you going to get me what I ask for?”

 

“No, not really,” Sungyeol answers and takes a sip of his water, “Just curious.”
 

Myungsoo smiles a little and looks a little shy to answer but he does anyways, “Then I can ask for anything?”

 

“Well, since I probably won’t get it for you then shoot away.”
 

“You should kiss me,” Myungsoo says and ducks his head a little.
 

Sungyeol laughs as if it’s a joke, “Good one, but really, what do you want?”
 

Myungsoo frowns like a kicked puppy and asks for a million bamboo pillows instead.

 

-

 

Christmas isn’t for another week and so Sungyeol splurges on last minute gift shopping and takes Woohyun with him.
 

“Did you know Sunggyu hyung wants a freaking electric keyboard? And not the cheap kind either. What does he think I’m made of?” Woohyun complains as they crowd into the mall.
 

“He must have mistaken the grease tree for a money tree,” Sungyeol jokes and Woohyun shoots him a glare, “Wanna know what Myungsoo asked for?”

 

“Probably a million bamboo pillows or something, he keeps breaking them all.”

 

“Yup. I think I’ll just get him a scarf though.”

 

“Why do you ask if you never get us what we want anyways?” Woohyun sighs and picks up a red sweater.
 

“Because, it shows that I care.”
 

“No it doesn’t,” Woohyun rolls his eyes and places the sweater back, “Maybe I should just get Sunggyu a giant box of vitamins.”

 

“That’s what I’m getting!” Sungyeol proclaims and suddenly Woohyun is dashing out the store and running off towards the health shop before Sungyeol can even think twice.
 

“That douche,” he grumbles and then something falls onto his head.
 

It’s a lump of green mistletoe that had fallen from the ceiling, the entire store’s filled with them taped over the ceiling.

Two days before Christmas and Sungyeol’s finished most of his shopping, but he still needs to get Myungsoo something. After finding out that Dongwoo and Howon both got scarves for Myungsoo and even a matching set of gloves, he decided to scour the cheap little stores that sold bamboo pillows.
 

Except, there’s a sudden blizzard and he’s stuck at home until Christmas day where he’s picked up by Sungjong who drags him all the way to Sunggyu’s so that they can spend Christmas together.

 

“I still didn’t get Myungsoo his bamboo pillow though,” Sungyeol groans but it isn’t like Sungjong cares anyways.
 

“You can always just make a coupon book for free hugs or something,” Sungjong suggests.
 

“That’d be pointless. He’d hug me regardless. He hugs all of us regardlessly.”
 

“Yeah,” Sungjong says and flicks his hair out of his eyes, “What are you gonna do then?”

 

“Maybe I’ll just get him something after then,” Sungyeol sighs, “I’ll feel bad that he’ll be the only one that didn’t get a gift from me though.”

 

“Hyung,” Sungjong says, “I think you know what he wants.”

 

Sungyeol tilts his head in confusion and so Sungjong sighs exasperatedly and smacks his lips together as a hint.

 

-

 

“Merry Christmas!” Myungsoo shouts as soon as both Sungjong and Sungyeol walk through the front door.

 

“Merry Christmas,” Sungjong smiles at him before giving him a quick hug and walking over to greet the rest.

 

“Hey,” Sungyeol says and starts to feel the guilt build up but he chews his bottom lip and Myungsoo watches intently.

 

“Hyung do you want some cookies? Woohyun hyung made them,” Myungsoo suddenly offer­s and Sungyeol just nods his head.

 

Sungyeol feels only slightly creeped out because as he eats the cookies, Myungsoo just watches him with an enamoured expression and then suddenly flicks his thumb across the corner of Sungyeol’s mouth.
 

“You had some crumbs there,” Myungsoo says and he his thumb.

 

“Oh,” Sungyeol says and then thinks that it’s getting weird again. Everything to do with Myungsoo is always weird because Myungsoo is weird.

 

“Uh,” Sungyeol draws out, “I-”
 

He doesn’t finish because Sunggyu calls the two of them to join them in the main living room to open presents and Sungyeol starts to feel bad all over again.
 

He carries the bag he brought with him to the living room where everyone is sitting in a circle around a very small Christmas tree. Sunggyu’s house isn’t big enough for a full sized tree.
 

“Oldest first!” Sunggyu says and he’s suddenly handed six nicely wrapped gifts (aside from one because that’s the one Sungyeol wrapped and everyone is going to get a crappily wrapped gift from him… Except Myungsoo).
 

Sunggyu quickly finishes and then Dongwoo and then Woohyun and then Howon and then there’s Sungyeol being handed six wrapped gifts and he can tell the biggest box is from Myungsoo.

 

There’s a headphone set from Howon, new shoes from Dongwoo, a book from Sunggyu, a red sweater from Woohyun, and handmade sweets from Sungjong. Sungyeol swallows hard when he starts to peel away at the colorfully wrapped box that he knows is from Myungsoo and there’s a bitter knot in his stomach.

 

“Merry Christmas,” Myungsoo is saying again with such a sweet smile and Sungyeol can’t help but smile back nervously.
 

He opens the box and pulls out a life sized stuffed bear. It’s fur is white and soft and there’s a pink bow around it’s neck and Sungyeol feels so incredibly bad because this gift is adorable and he knows Myungsoo probably searched forever for it.
 

He remembers that this is similar to a stuffed bear he had wanted when he was a child but his dad had told him it was too queer for a young boy to want a giant stuffed teddy bear (Sungyeol is completely queer though). Myungsoo even got it down to the dark brown (dark brown and not black) eyes and velvet nose.

 

“Oh, Soo,” he mumbles and Myungsoo is still gleaming by his side, “Thank you so much.”

 

“Anything for you,” Myungsoo says and Sungyeol feels like an absolute jerk for doing last minute Christmas shopping when Myungsoo has probably been thinking of what to get Sungyeol since last Christmas.

 

“Myungsoo, you’re next!” Dongwoo says and suddenly Sungyeol wants to hide.

 

When everyone hands Myungsoo their gifts, he only gets five instead of six like all the others before him.

 

“Wait, we’re missing one,” Howon says and counts the five gifts again. Sungjong looks at Sungyeol.

 

“Uh,” he says and everyone looks at him, but he’s avoiding Myungsoo’s eyes, “I’m sorry.”
 

He can imagine the look on Myungsoo’s face. How disappointed and betrayed he must feel that he got Sungyeol such a kickass gift but Sungyeol didn’t even get him anything. He can feel the black guilt build up to his throat and he continues to look away from Myungsoo but the younger only says, “it’s okay.”

 

Sungyeol’s too busy feeling like a ty friend to even process the rest of the gift opening, even with Woohyun nudging his side every five minutes.

 

After a while, everyone has begun to watch the news and talk about whatever it is they want to while Sungyeol stalks off towards the backyard and sits on the porch, feeling terrible and cold.
 

He can hear Myungsoo’s camera clicking from the other room and he’s pretty sure Myungsoo is taking a million pictures of Sungjong right now and Sungyeol just feels like he’s the worst best friend in the world. He brought the teddy out with him and he’s sitting side by side with it, looking at the light layer of frost around Sunggyu’s backyard.

 

Then click.
 

He turns around and sees Myungsoo hovering above him with his camera.
 

“Hey,” Myungsoo says and Sungyeol only nods at him, “What are you doing here?”
 

“Eh, thinking?” Sungyeol suggests because he doesn’t want to tell Myungsoo that he’s sulking. Which only makes him feel worse because he shouldn’t even be sulking, Myungsoo should.

 

“I’m quite jealous now,” Myungsoo suddenly states and stands by Sungyeol’s side, “You’re spending more time with that teddy bear than me already.”

 

Sungyeol’s laughs, but it’s a little strained, “Sorry again. I’m horrible.”

 

“No you aren’t,” Myungsoo says and slides down next to Sungyeol on the porch, “Yeollie, seeing you so happy over my gift was a present enough for me. You don’t need to buy me anything to make me happy.”
 

Myungsoo’s smile is so sincere and sweet that Sungyeol only feels even more like , “I shouldn’t have wasted so much time on getting you a gift though. Aren’t you mad at me?”
 

Myungsoo only shakes his head, “Sungyeol, I don’t hang out with you so you can buy me things and do me favors. I hang out with you because I like to and because I want to buy you things and do you favors. Making you smile is my number one priority and it’s enough to make me smile anyways so either way, it’s a win win.”
 

Myungsoo leans over and puts an arm around Sungyeol while resting his head on his shoulder, “Besides, your gift to me can just be spending Christmas with me instead of you sitting out here being all mopey.”
 

Sungyeol smiles a little at that and pokes Myungsoo’s side, “When you’d get so good with words?”
 

“Probably when I met you and realized I had too much to say about the way you’re so dumb,” he jokes and Sungyeol laughs, the way his body shakes against Myungsoo’s feels nice.

 

Sungyeol subconsciously places his hand into his pocket and feel a lump of dried greens in it. He pulls it out and looks at the mistletoe from a few days ago and suddenly remember what Myungsoo had originally asked for.

 

“Soo,” Sungyeol says and Myungsoo tilts his head to look at him, “Close your eyes.”

 

Myungsoo raises an eyebrow but other than that, does as he’s told.

 

Sungyeol lifts the mistletoe over their heads and then says, “Open your eyes now.”

 

The first thing Myungsoo sees is Sungyeol with his arm lifted but his eyes follow the expanse of his arm and he immediately smiles when he sees what’s at the end.

“Merry Christmas,” Sungyeol says and he gives Myungsoo the pleasure of getting a kiss from the most irresistible lips ever.
