(YJ) - Young Jae speaking
(DH) - Daehyun speaking
(HC) - Himchan speaking
(BY) - Yongguk speaking

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You wanted to talk, so talk.” (HC) Himchan sat in his seat, his arms folded and one leg crossed over the other. He sat back in his chair comfortably, his eyelids narrowed as he judged Yongguk. How did Yongguk even get his number? It had better not have been because of Young Jae, or else he might have to give that boy another tickle session.

“Himchan.. I’ve been thinkin’..” (BY)

“That’s a first.” (HC) Yongguk sighed as he ruffled the back of his head in frustration.

“Can you let me talk without interruptin’?” (BY) Himchan rolled his eyes a bit before looking away. Yongguk let out yet another sigh as he leaned forward in his chair, resting his elbows on the table. “Look.. I think that.. I’m more into you than Young Jae.” (BY)

Himchan looked back over at Yongguk, a single brow raised. What, exactly, was Yongguk talking about? Was he mental or possibly taken a blow to the head? Then again, based off of the cut on Yongguk’s lip, he definitely had gotten into some sort of fight. With who? Most likely Daehyun. “Did you hit your head? You were a huge skirt chaser and now you decide to do a full one-eighty?” (HC)

Yongguk sighed as he leaned back in his seat once more. “Strange, right? Never thought I woulda turned like this, but.. I think.. I’m ready for a real relationship. Now just for , but a real.. relationship. Ya ‘na mean?” (BY)

Himchan shook his head a bit as he turned away. Just because Yongguk was supposedly ready for a real relationship doesn’t mean that he was going to give it to him that easily. Himchan wasn’t even interested in males, or.. he was certain that he wasn’t. He hadn’t exactly been attracted to one before or at least.. not to his knowledge anyway. “Sorry, but I’m not interested. Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?” (HC)

“Oh, come on Himchan! Gimme a chance. I can be the guy for you, ya know. Can’t knock it out ‘til ya try it, a’ight?” (BY) Himchan raised a single brow as he looked over at Yongguk. “ ‘Ey. If I’m willing to give it a chance, you should too.” (BY)

“You’re only giving it a chance cause Young Jae rejected you, right?” (HC) Yongguk smirked as he looked off to the side. Himchan smirked as well, instantly knowing that he was right as he leaned forward. “Look. I’m not interested, so stop trying.” (HC)

Yongguk looked back towards Himchan as he leaned forward yet again. He held his smirk as he reached forward, taking Himchan’s hand into his own. “I’ll keep chasing you for as long as I have to. Yanno.. you have soft hands for a male.” (BY)

“If you haven’t noticed, your hands look feminine.” (HC) Himchan pulled his hand out of Yongguk’s before getting up from his seat. Yongguk instantly mirrored Himchan’s actions, moving around to where Himchan was before gently forcing him back in his seat.

“Don’t go..” (BY) Himchan looked up at Yongguk with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Why not?” (HC)

“Because I want to get to know ya. Really, I do.” (BY) Himchan scoffed as he removed Yongguk’s hands from his shoulders. Folding his arms, he crossed one leg over the other as he sat in silence. When Yongguk was certain that Himchan wouldn’t leave again, he sat back down in his seat.

“You’re good with your words and yet.. I haven’t fallen for you yet.” (HC) Yongguk sighed as he placed his elbows on the table while folding his hands. The two stared at one another for a moment before Yongguk sat back in his seat.

“At least give me a chance. Ya never know what’ll happen. We might be good fo’ each other!” (BY) Himchan let out a minor scoff as he leaned back in his seat. Reaching forward, he took hold of his drink before bringing it up to his lips and taking a drink. Oddly enough, Yongguk was staring, his mouth slightly agape as he watched Himchan’s adam’s apple bobbing with each sip.

Putting his drink down, Himchan wiped his lips with the back of his hand before looking up at Yongguk. A single brow rose as he saw Yongguk’s mouth open before closing quickly as the older male swallowed. “Can you really not control your hormones like.. at all? What are you, some teenager?” (HC)

“ ‘Ey.. Yo’ looking at a guy who hasn’t had in nearly a month. Bare with me, will ya?” (BY) Himchan scoffed again. How many times was that already in that small amount of time that they’ve been speaking?

“I haven’t had at all. How the heck would I know?” (HC)

“You’re a ?” (BY) Crap. Why did he tell Yongguk about that? Well, it didn’t matter if Yongguk knew or not. It’s not like Yongguk was going to be able to do anything about it anyway. Himchan simply refused to give him that chance. Besides, he wasn’t interested having Yongguk inside of him or vice versa.

“Doesn’t matter. Are we done now? I have things to do.” (HC)

“Can we... at least start off as friends?” (BY) Himchan sighed as he saw the look of hope and worry in Yongguk’s eyes. Getting up to his feet, Himchan began walking. This time, Yongguk didn’t get up to stop him. Though, he didn’t need Yongguk to stop him. Coming to a stop, he turned back around and made eye contact with Yongguk.

“Alright... we can be friends first.” (HC)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Stay still..” (YJ) Daehyun nodded as he sat in Young Jae’s dorm room shirtless. Daehyun winced as he felt Young Jae applying the antimicrobial ointment to his currently cut lip. He didn’t like pain, he really didn’t. However, just for Young Jae, he got in harm’s path to protect him. “I said to stay still!” (YJ)

“It hurts! You expect me to stay still?!” (DH)

“Yes! Now do it!” (YJ) Young Jae gave Daehyun’s thigh a light slap before going back to applying the ointment. Daehyun winced again, but not as bad as he had done just seconds ago. He tried to remain as still as possible before finally, Young Jae pulled away. “There.. It’s done. Now we.. have to apply ice to your bruises..” (YJ)

“How do you plan to do that?” (DH) Young Jae thought for a moment as he looked around. They couldn’t exactly get a bunch of ice in a short amount of time. The only thing he could think of was getting a cold pack or something along those lines, but that involved going to the story and having to actually place them in the fridge or freezer until they were ready. Until then, they would still need ice.

“L-Let’s go to the store. We have to get cold packs..” (YJ)

“You sure? Maybe you should finish packing before we go. That way, it’ll save us time from having to come back again.” (DH) Young Jae bit his bottom lip. He didn’t want to dilly dally in terms of helping Daehyun’s bruises, but it technically was a good idea.

“Okay.. I’ll finish packing. Can you um.. pack up the first aid kit while I pack my bags?” (YJ) Daehyun thought for a moment before nodding. Young Jae got to his feet and made his way over to one of his bags before he began packing his things up. As Daehyun packed up the first aid kit, Young Jae looked back over at Daehyun before frowning slightly.

Daehyun had about three bruises, maybe four. One was where his stomach was, another was on Daehyun’s right arm, and there was one on Daehyun’s left cheek also. There might be one on Daehyun’s back, but Young Jae wasn’t entirely sure whether it really was a bruise or not. He felt bad that Daehyun had gotten so hurt and he knew that a bruise on the face had to be checked out by a doctor. Someway, he had to make it up to him.

Turning his head back towards his bag, he took in a deep breath before sighing. “Daehyun.. I.. I have something to tell you.” (YJ)

He had just finished packing up the first aid kit when Young Jae had said something. Looking over at the younger male, Daehyun set the first aid kit off to the side before leaning back and using his hands and arms to keep himself propped up. He smiled a bit, almost feeling as if Young Jae was going to confess his undying love for him. Sure, he wasn’t actually expecting it, but it did seem kind of funny to think about. Wait, no. That wasn’t supposed to be funny at all. “What is it?” (DH)

“I.. I remember.” (YJ) Daehyun stared for a brief moment as the smile slowly faded from his face.

“Remembered what?” (DH)

“Everything..” (YJ) Young Jae turned around, making eye contact with Daehyun. They stared for a brief moment before Young Jae let out a small sigh. “I... I was Hwan Hana.. I dressed up like a girl to try and get your attention. I thought you only liked girls.. so.. that’s why I dressed up that way.. I’m sorry for lying to you..” (YJ)

Daehyun pushed himself up onto his feet before making his way over to Young Jae. Crouching down in front of him, Daehyun smiled a bit as he placed his hand on Young Jae’s shoulder. “Hey... you didn’t know. It’s alright. I mean, we’re together now, right?” (DH)

Young Jae nodded a bit before looking away. He bit his bottom lip as he placed his hands on Daehyun’s knees before looking back up at him. “I.. heard your voice message.” (YJ)

His eyes widened and his face reddened as Daehyun quickly stood up. He cleared his throat and turned around as he took a few steps away from Young Jae, placing his hands on his hips. “I.. I didn’t think you’d end up hearing it. Sorry for.. my embarrassing words.” (DH)

“N-No! I loved it, really!” (YJ) Daehyun turned around just in time to feel Young Jae wrap his arms around his neck. Daehyun moved his head back a bit as he looked down at a smiling Young Jae. “I really loved it.. You sounded really cute..” (YJ)

Daehyun looked away, his face reddening from the compliment yet again. Young Jae held his smile as he pulled away, sliding his hands down Daehyun’s arms until he took hold of Daehyun’s hands. “I love you in a confused way too!” (YJ)

He looked back at Young Jae, his eyes widening in surprise by Young Jae’s words. Young Jae... loved him? Okay, so it was in a confused way, but it was just like him! He smiled as he looked down towards the ground, a shy grin coming on his face as he looked back up at Young Jae. “So I really did say that.. I was kind of hoping it was just a dream.” (DH)

Young Jae smiled happily as he slipped his hands out of Daehyun’s grasp. Just as he turned around and was about to go back to packing, Daehyun quickly wrapped his arms around Young Jae’s waist and held him close. “Hey.. where do you think you’re going? You can’t just run away from a moment like that!” (DH)

“I-I didn’t know what else to say..” (YJ) Daehyun chuckled a bit as he placed his chin on Young Jae’s shoulder. He let out a small sigh as he felt Young Jae’s hands slowly sliding over his before coming to a stop.

“It’s funny.. I never thought I would ever get to hold you like this and now here we are..” (DH) Young Jae smiled a bit. He knew the feeling quite well, considering he had always relied on his imagination for such scenes. Wishful thinking had ended up becoming a reality. “Just.. make sure to only have eyes for me, alright? I want us to be together for as long as possible.” (DH)

“I.. I want us to be together forever. That way.. we’ll never be apart.” (YJ) Daehyun chuckled as he gave a small nod. It was a nice thought and it felt like they were moving a bit fast, but he didn’t mind. He’s only ever had his eyes on Young Jae, so it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

After standing there for a few more minutes, Daehyun finally released Young Jae from his grasp as he went to get his shirt while Young Jae went back to packing. The pain from his bruises was starting to bother him, so he was hoping to get those cold packs soon. Of course, he didn’t say anything. Worrying Young Jae wasn’t something on his list of things to do.

With a small sigh, Daehyun laid down on the bed with the shirt in his hand. He closed his eyes, smiling a bit as he took in the comfort of the soft bed. Daehyun was rather glad that he bought a bed for them today. Sadly, it was going to take them a few days before they could deliver it to their home. Hopefully it wouldn’t take too long. Daehyun was becoming impatient with having to sleep on the floor. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had brought bed sheets with him, the floor probably wouldn’t have been much of a tolerable place to sleep.

While Daehyun was lost in his thoughts, Young Jae couldn’t help but look at Daehyun every now and then. He bit his bottom lip as he finished packing up the last of his bags. Closing it up, Young Jae got up from his place before making his way over to Daehyun. Slowly, he slid onto the bed as he reached forward. He wanted to touch that bare chest of Daehyun’s, to actually feel Daehyun’s skin against his fingertips.

He wanted to feel Daehyun’s breath against his neck, to feel that warm and loving touch against his own skin. Was he being selfish for wanting such things to happen? Well, maybe a little. But that wasn’t going to stop him.

Just as he was just mere inches away from touching Daehyun’s stomach, Daehyun’s hand came up before grabbing his wrist. Young Jae clasped his hand over his mouth as he kept let out a muffled yelp. Daehyun chuckled as he opened his eyes completely before pushing himself up to a sitting position. “What do you think you’re doing?” (DH)

“I-I.. I was.. I wanted to make sure your bruises are alright! W-We should get going now.” (YJ) Young Jae quickly got up to his feet as he went over to where his bags were currently stacked. Daehyun smiled a bit as he got to his feet as well, putting his shirt on before making his way over to where Young Jae was.

Without waiting for Young Jae to say anything, Daehyun picked up as many bags as he could before he began walking. Young Jae’s eyes widened as he held his hand out in an attempt to stop him, but only ended up failing. “W-Wait! You’re hurt! You shouldn’t be carrying so many at once!” (YJ)

“I’m fine! Now come on. Let’s head to the car and get those cold packs.” (DH) Young Jae bit his bottom lip as he picked up the rest of his bags and quickly followed after Daehyun. Of course, he made sure to close and lock the dorm room before they continued on his way.

Young Jae mentally checked off everything, making sure that he had done everything that he needed to do. After they dropped off the bags, he would have to return the key back to the school so that he could get his money back. Wait. Could he even get his money back? He wasn’t really sure if he could, but.. he hoped he could. At least a portion of his money returned to him would be nice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“A-Ah, crap! That’s cold!” (DH) Daehyun shivered just a moment before laying still on the floor. Young Jae let out a small chuckle as he sat next to Daehyun, making sure that the cold packs didn’t end up sliding off of Daehyun’s body. Of course, he was also using it as an excuse to actually touch Daehyun’s body.

“You need to be more careful then, if you don’t want cold things on you.” (YJ) Daehyun looked up at Young Jae, a small smile coming up on his face.

“If I was more careful, I wouldn’t have been able to protect you then. I would gladly give up my own safety to keep you safe.” (DH) Young Jae frowned a bit as he gave Daehyun a playful slap. Daehyun frowned a bit at the response, reaching up with his free hand to take a hold of Young Jae’s hand. “Hey.. what was that for? I was being serious.” (DH)

“I don’t like it. I don’t want you sacrificing yourself just to protect me. I can take care of myself.” (YJ) Young Jae pulled his hand out of Daehyun’s grasp as he folded his arms and nodded in approval. Daehyun raised a single brow as he smiled a bit.

“Can you really? Can you fight Yongguk then?” (DH) Young Jae furrowed his eyebrows and puffed out his cheeks as he slapped Daehyun once again.

“T-That’s not funny!” (YJ) Daehyun couldn’t help but chuckle though as he raised his free hand to defend himself from receiving yet another slap from Young Jae.

“Alright, alright! I’m sorry! Forgive me?” (DH) Young Jae looked away in annoyance as he folded his arms and huffed a bit. He glanced over at Daehyun before keeping his eyes completely on him as he saw the pout on Daehyun’s face. With a small sigh, Young Jae nodded.

“Okay.. I’ll forgive you. But, you have to stay like this for twenty minutes. Alright? You have to do this three times a day... I think. If the swelling is still there after a week, you have to see a doctor.” (YJ) Daehyun nodded as he grinned happily. He folded his hands, letting them rest on his stomach.

“Hey.. can you play some video games? I wanna watch you play again.” (DH) Young Jae smiled before nodding. He crawled over Daehyun before making his way over to the television screen and the console. Turning both on, he sorted through the video games before deciding on a certain gun game that he’s gotten a bit addicted to recently.

With the game inside, Young Jae made his way back to his previous spot as he leaned against the wall. He placed his feet on the other side of Daehyun, bending his knees a bit so that his legs weren’t necessarily laying on top of Daehyun’s legs. He looked back over at Daehyun, whom smiled up at him. “Comfy?” (DH)

“I hope we get a couch soon.. the floor is too hard.” (YJ) Daehyun nodded in agreement before looking back up the screen.

“We’ll get a couch soon. You can go shopping with me tomorrow for furniture.” (DH) Young Jae perked up a bit, pressing the pause button as he looked down at Daehyun. Daehyun looked up at Young Jae with a bit of confusion, though the smile on Young Jae’s face seemed to ease Daehyun a bit. “What is it?” (DH)

“Can I pick everything?” (YJ)

“Mm... only some.” (DH) Young Jae frowned for a brief moment before smiling and nodding.

“Okay. I can’t wait to pick the furniture for my room.” (YJ) Daehyun looked at him with slight confusion before realization kicked in. He did technically ask Young Jae to be his roommate.

“Ah.. I was hoping you would share a bed with me.” (DH) Young Jae thought for a moment before looking back down at Daehyun. He could see the hope in Daehyun’s eyes and Young Jae couldn’t exactly help but smile a bit. It was cute to see that glint of hope in Daehyun’s eyes after all. Still, he wasn’t entirely sure if he was ready to actually move in and share a room with Daehyun just yet.

“Mm.. I’ll share a bed, but.. I still want my own room. Is that.. alright?” (YJ) Daehyun nodded before turning his attention back to the t.v. Pressing the pause button once more, Young Jae commenced with playing the video game.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Daehyun.. I don’t know where to go now..” (YJ) Young Jae puffed out his cheeks as he looked around here and there within the video game. When he didn’t receive any sort of feedback from the older male though, he transferred his gaze downwards. He blinked a few times before he soon ended up smiling happily, quickly pausing the game before placing the controller down.

Young Jae bit his bottom lip as he continued smiling happily. Daehyun had fallen asleep and Young Jae couldn’t resist just how cute Daehyun looked! He looked so peaceful and happy at the same time.

He reached forward, caressing Daehyun’s cheek with the back of his fingers as he continued to stare at Daehyun’s face. Would he be lucky enough to see Daehyun sleeping peacefully like this everyday? Young Jae really hoped so.

Looking up at the clock, he blinked a few times before looking back down at Daehyun. Young Jae gathered the cold packs, which weren’t all that cold anymore, and got up from his seat. Making his way around Daehyun, he made his way into the kitchen and opened up the fridge door. He looked around for an empty space before storing the packs inside and closing the door.

With a small sigh, Young Jae made his way back over to Daehyun and sat back down where he had been sitting before. Looking around for a brief moment, Young Jae grabbed the two nearby pillows and placed one against the wall and the other one gently underneath Daehyun’s head.

Just as he was about to start playing again, he paused for a brief moment before he turned his attention towards Daehyun’s bruises. The swelling didn’t look bad, or it had gone down. He wasn’t entirely sure, but he knew that he was supposed to do something after-wards. What was it, exactly..?

Almost as if a light bulb in his head, Young Jae moved closer to Daehyun before he began massaging the bruise closest to him. If he recalled, massaging a bruise was supposed to help circulate the blood flow. If it hurt, they were supposed to go see a doctor, however.. based on the fact that Daehyun didn’t show any signs of pain, then his massaging probably wasn’t so bad after all.

Massage after massage, Young Jae made sure to do it for at least fifteen minutes straight on each bruise. Sadly, after finishing the three that was on Daehyun’s front, he couldn’t exactly get to the one on Daehyun’s back. Actually, he still wasn’t certain that it was a bruise. It might have just been red from when Daehyun crashed into the wall, but he still needed to check on it again once Daehyun woke up.

With a small sigh, Young Jae leaned back against the pillow as he looked over at Daehyun’s face. Why was it that he was surprised that Daehyun hadn’t woken up yet? Technically, that was the first time Young Jae had given a massage to anyone, so he wasn’t entirely sure how well he had done. In fact, he was certain that he had done rather poorly, but the fact that Daehyun hadn’t woken up must mean that his massaging was at least alright.

His gaze looked up towards the television screen before looking back down at Daehyun. Well, maybe playing video games wasn’t always an important task.

Moving the controller a little off to the side, Young Jae laid down and stretched himself a bit before cuddling up to Daehyun. He smiled a bit, resting his cheek against Daehyun’s shoulder before closing his eyes. Since Daehyun was already sleeping, he couldn’t exactly have the opportunity of having Daehyun hold him in his arms. However, at least this one time, he could be the one to hold Daehyun.

Young Jae slowly slid his arm around Daehyun’s bare waist before coming to a stop once he had Daehyun comfortably in his arm. He thought for a moment before wrapping his leg around Daehyun’s legs. Now he understood why Daehyun liked holding him like this so often. Daehyun was so warm and his skin was smooth and soft.

Was it normal for someone to be so perfect?

No.. it was probably best not to use the word perfect. No one could really be perfect, but Daehyun was just... the right person for him. Young Jae didn’t want to let that go and despite the mistakes that he made with trying to reach Daehyun, he had somehow managed to keep it the way that he wanted it.

Of course.. it did help that Daehyun met him halfway.

He smiled happily, nuzzling his cheek against Daehyun’s smooth skin before comfortably laying there. Thinking for a brief moment, Young Jae quickly reached behind him and placed the pillow under his head before resuming his previous position. Sure, he was comfortable before, but a pillow was always nice to have around.

With that, Young Jae slowly let slumber take control.

[[ My Own Thoughts:
