gosh, this crush is getting out of hand...someone please stop him before he destroys me

Kyungsoo plopped in his bed, mind full of thoughts of his neighbour. He tossed and turned before giving up on sleep and making his way to Chanyeol's room. He plopped on his best friend's bed, right beside him, wriggling to make some space for himself.

"Chanyeol, what did you think of Baekhyun?"

"Can we talk tomorrow? I'm kinda sleepy Kyungsoo."

"But I want to know. Plus I can't sleep, and if I suffer, you suffer as well."

Sighing Chanyeol sleepily tried to answer Kyungsoo's question, "He's a very nice person, seeing how well he took care of you."

"I meant more. I know he's nice, but what else? What do you think about him?"

"I don't know what you want from me Soo, isn't nice a good enough thing? The only conversation I had with him was an introduction."

"True. What about his looks?"

Chanyeol was too tired to even open his eyes. He had a long day as well, and even though Kyungsoo had a longer day, he couldn't match him in his unusual burst of energy. He blindly tried to find Kyungsoo's face before putting his whole hand on his friend's face, "Shhh Soo! Sleep!"

Kyungsoo pouted and tried to go to sleep but he wasn't successful until what seemed like several hours later. He dreamt of sharp canines in a rectangular mouth.

---X---

Baekhyun woke up and made his way to Jongdae's room. He had a class early in the morning but he decided to skip it since he couldn't be bothered to attend it. He wanted more sleep, especially since he had been too preoccupied with thoughts involcing a certain someone, to be able to sleep until quite later in the night.

He knew Jongdae didn't have classes until the afternoon and his friend was probably in his room right now, and sure he was. Baekhyun slumped on top of his friend's sleeping form, snuggling with him, trying to get some more sleep but Jongdae didn't like the extra weight on him, so he tried pushing Baekhyun off the bed.

Baekhyun had already predicted this, so he wrestled Jongdae on to the ground and lay victoriously on the bed. His friend got off the floor grumbling furiously and got on his bed, this time not trying to struggle to be the only one on his bed. He stopped grumbling once Baekhyun wrapped him in his comfortable snuggle hug and started drifting back to sleep. His eyes flew open when Baekhyun tickled his sides.

"WHAT?" he questioned his friend.

"I asked what you thought of Kyungsoo."

"The ? Who?"

"Kyungsoo! You tried grabbing his face last night remember? The super cute guy who was talking to me until you ing decided to come home and ruin our moment...? Ring a bell?"

"You woke me up to ask what was my drunk assessment of a guy you met for the first time yesterday, and I had only a few moments to look at, not even have a decent conversation with?"

"Exactly!"

" you Baekhyun. You try waking me up again for another one of you ty questions and I swear, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life." Jongdae said turning his back to Baekhyun and closing his eyes again.

His friend just pouted before snuggling into his back to calm him down and stayed there until sleep came back again.

---X---

Kyungsoo had another morning class which he had to drag himself to even though he was so sleepy. Who invented morning classes anyway? That person was some next level sadist. Kyungsoo didn't know if he felt awed and inspired by the evilness of it all or be extremely pissed and burn down the building his first class was in.

The only thought that kept him going was that maybe Baekhyun could visit him during the day sometime. He facepalmed when he remembered that he had forgotten to take Baekhyun's number. Maybe he would have another opportunity to get it later that day.

Kyungsoo met up with Chanyeol again over lunch, and their other friends were there as well. Kyungsoo hugged Joonmyun to congratulate him and the latter dragged him to the cafeteria to let him buy whatever he wanted. When he went back  to the table he saw Jongdae sitting in his seat, talking to Chanyeol. He was surprised, because he had not known that the two were acquainted.

"Oh, look at who it is. Hello Kyungsoo. Didn't think I'd see you again so soon."

Minseok, one of his friends, raised a brow, "You guys know each other?"

Kyungsoo nodded, "Yes, he's my neighbour. I met him last night."

Chanyeol's eyes widened, "Wait, seriously? You're our neighbour? To think that we lived beside each other and were still strangers until last night."

"Until last night?" Kyungsoo asked, not following what Chanyeol meant by that. He only introduced him to Baekhyun.

Minseok spoke up, "I guess I was the mutual friend. I brought him along to the celebration last night, that you missed."

Kyungsoo nodded his head in understanding as he looked at Jongdae who was busy typing away at his phone. Jongdae felt Kyungsoo's gaze at him and looked up to meet his eyes looking at him expectantly.

"What?" Jongdae asked with a mischievous look in his eyes, as he pretended to not know what the other boy was thinking.

Kyungsoo shook is head, "I was just thinking of how I should thank Baekhyun for last night. He's extremely nice!"

Both Minseok and Jongdae simultaneously burst into peals of laughter.

"Are we talking about the same person here? Is this my Baekhyun you're talking about?" Jongdae spoke and Kyungsoo tried not to flinch at the use of the word my before Baekhyun's name. "The one I live with? Because kiddo, you are seriously mistaken-"

"Mistaken about what?" Baekhyun was standing behind Jongdae, giving him a fake sweet smile before turning to Kyungsoo and smiling for real. "Hey Kyungsoo!!! Fancy meeting you here."

Jongdae snickered, "Yeah, fancy meeting him at his friend's table. Fancy indeed. And I was saying that Kyungsoo was mistaken about you being nice, because let's be real, you are anything but."

Baekhyun shuffled to try and sit beside Kyungsoo even though there was space at the other end of the table. He spoke as he made space for himself, pulling a chair from the next table over, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the nicest person you know. Kyungsoo will vouch for me, won't you?"

Kyungsoo vigorously shook his head in affirmation and Baekhyun couldn't help but pinch his cheek, though he let go at once when he saw the younger's left eye twitch.

Chanyeol observed silently, praying that Kyungsoo wouldn't kill their neighbour for doing that. His best friend hated being called cute or treated as if he was cute. Chanyeol let out a breath of relief when he saw that Kyungsoo wasn't planning on committing any acts of violence that day, though he thought it was unfair that Baekhyun didn't even get a light punch. If it would've been Chanyeol, all hell would have come loose. Instead Kyungsoo just insisted on buying Baekhyun something to go along with his lunch. Baekhyun agreed for a frappuccino and Kyungsoo rushed away to get what Baekhyun wanted.

As soon as Kyungsoo left, everyone except Jongdae looked at Baekhyun in wonder.

"What? Is there something on my face? Wait! I didn't say something weird again did I?"

Joonmyun spoke up, "He didn't beat you up!"

Jongdae bestowed upon Joonmyun a look which said 'are you seriously high so early in the day?'.

Baekhyun furrowed his brows a bit, "I can see that. Thank you for pointing it out though. Very helpful of you. I will forever be in your debt."

Jongdae laughed and enveloped Baekhyun in a hug, "I knew you were worthy of being my friend!"

Minseok tried not to laugh too hard at the two bumbling fools, "What Joonmyun meant was that Kyungsoo doesn't like being called cute."

"He absolutely despises it!" Chanyeol piped in while Minseok continued.

"He is notorious for causing some harm to anyone who dares to touch him."

"Serious. harm." Chanyeol said raising his brows and nodding his head for added effect.

"Ohkay!" Baekhyun said looking at the others in confusion and disbelief.

"You don't believe us." Minseok said looking at Baekhyun knowingly.

"Well, yeah! I think you are trying to pull my leg because I haven't met someone as angelic as Kyungsoo."

"Kyungsoo? Angelic?" Chanyeol looked bordering on hysterical before he broke out in loud obnoxious laughter, "You have a good sense of humour."

"No, I'm not joking. He seriously is the sweetest human being I've met in my entire life."

"Did you taste him?" Jongdae asked winking suggestively at Baekhyun who scowled back at him.

Joonmyun and Minseok looked horrified on the other hand. "You like Kyungsoo?", They both asked at the same time though their worry came for different reasons. Joonmyun was mainly worried for his favourite underclassman, while Minseok was genuinely worried because even though he wasn't sure who would hurt the other more, he knew that this would  turn out to be a very dynamic relationship. What with Baekhyun's love for all things cute and teasing, and Kyungsoo's hate for all things cute, and the propensity AND hatred of being teased.

Baekhyun chose to ignore his stupid best friend in favour of answering the two people's question. "Yeah, we talked and he is a chill dude."

Chanyeol frowned at this response. From Kyungsoo's behaviour, it was obvious that he had the hots for Baekhyun, but if the latter didn't return his friend's feelings then he would need to do something. Because despite all the pranking and beatings they had going on, he really loved his best friend, and if anybody ever, ever hurt Kyungsoo's feelings, he would take action. Baekhyun better hope he doesn't get there because under Chanyeol's sunny personality resided a devil that can be aroused when angered (what? why do you think his personality mashed with Kyungsoo's?).

"That's it?" he asked in a low voice.

Baekhyun blushed slightly and started stuttering, looking to say something. "I- um... ye- I-"

"Here ya go Baek!" a very happy Kyungsoo appeared in Baekhyun's line of vision and the latter really felt like enveloping the younger boy in a hug. No one should be allowed to have such a beautiful smile. It was unfair. Think of people's poor hearts. Baekhyun decided to not heed the warning he had received earlier about Kyungsoo hating cute and decided to listen to his heart. And so, he hugged him squealing.

"Thank you so much Soo! You're sho shweet!"

Kyungsoo blushed as he pretended to not like the hug, though he couldn't get rid of the huge smile on his face. "Soo?" he asked cocking his eyebrow at Baekhyun.

"You called me Baek, so I thought I could give you a nickname too. You don't like it?" Baekhyun asked taking his bottom lip in between his teeth, worry marring his face. Did he push too far, too fast?

Kyungsoo's eyes flitted to those succulent lips he had been thinking of since last night before he shook his head at Baekhyun, "No, I like it...."

Baekhyun beamed at him as they got to eating their lunch together in silence, neither having anything more to say to the other, neither feeling the need to say something more. The others watched in amusement. 

Chanyeol got back to his lunch. He hadn't necessarily received an answer but he could tell that Baekhyun might actually be harbouring actual feelings for Kyungsoo. Chanyeol would just have to wait and see.

---X---

It was a beautiful day, was what Kyungsoo thought as he finished his day at school. He had managed to get Baekhyun's number, had eaten lunch with him, and was going on a dinner date with him later.... which was at his house, with Chanyeol and Jongdae tagging along. But that's not important. What's important were Baekhyun's hips. Seriously, if he had to watch them sway for much longer, he would do something inappropriate. Did Baekhyun even know that his hips attracted that kinda attention? Though, no one else seemed to mind for some reason. Kyungsoo didn't understand why though, since it was a glorious ...yum.

Kyungsoo ran back home as fast as he could after class so that he could work on preparing the dinner earlier. He wanted to impress Baekhyun with his skills. Baekhyun's class was going to end an hour later, and Jongdae and Chanyeol weren't going to join them for another hour after. YES! Kyungsoo had a whole hour with Baekhyun for himself. This was going to be an amazing night.

While cooking Kyungsoo wished that he had introduced himself to his cute neighbour... and friend, before because Baekhyun was what his life needed.

---X---

Kyungsoo was finishing up cooking when he heard the knock on the door. He rushed to get it and beamed at Baekhyun standing on the other side holding a case of beer.

"I got beer. Hopefully it will go with what dinner you have tonight."

Kyungsoo ushered Baekhyun in as he let him know that beer was perfect. He then rushed back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Baekhyun came and stood right behind him as he peered into the pot.

"Whoa! This looks so good. You're seriously good husband material. Maybe I should snag you before someone else comes and takes you away." Baekhyun mentally applauded himself for the good delivery of the line when he saw Kyungsoo blush. It was totally worth it to spend his lecture googling good flirtatious one-liners for this situation. "Do you need any help?"

"I'm good for now. Why don't you sit down? I'm almost done." Baekhyun walked out of the kitchen to look around the apartment. He saw the various pictures Kyungsoo had up on his wall of himself singing, many of them with Chanyeol. "You know Soo", Baekhyun said walking back into the kitchen, "I have been wanting to hear you sing. Minseok told me a lot about you, and how you have this amazing chocolate voice. I couldn't wait to come and listen to you."

Kyungsoo waved his compliment off, "I'm not that great. Minseok just likes to praise me in front of anyone, he's nice like that. What would you like to hear?"

"Hmm. Anything really." Baekhyun said after contemplating, "Sing whatever song you were listening to last..?"

Kyungsoo tried to recall what song he had listened to last before he smiled, "It was Back in Time by Lyn." Saying so, Kyungsoo launched into the song with his low, sweet voice. Baekhyun stood near the counter, completely mesmerized by his voice. It was like Kyungsoo's voice didn't just fall on his ears, but turned into liquid electricity that travelled down to his heart where it got into his blood and spread into the body through his circulation. His body felt the goosebumps, the tensing of muscles as he felt the need to do something, like hold Kyungsoo as close as he could while the other sang to him, at the same time he wanted to do nothing but melt right there. How could Kyungsoo be so good? Kyungsoo was literally an angel right? Or maybe the creation of devil sent to sweep him off his feet and destroy his heart completely. Kyungsoo smiling his heart shaped smile at him multiple times while singing was doing nothing for his sanity.

Kyungsoo was done, and Baekhyun couldn't move. He stood there, right beside the counter.

"What did you think?" Kyungsoo asked anticipating Baekhyun's response. Since the other was a year above him, his criticism was important. He also wanted Baekhyun to be impressed by him. After-all, it is an amazing feeling to have your crush praise you.

Baekhyun, as soon as he got his voice back, started gushing about how amazing Kyungsoo's voice was.

"It's your turn now. Sing something to me." Kyungsoo said as he finished his cooking and tuned the stove off, leading Baekhyun back to the living room.

Baekhyun thought for a moment what should he sing. He didn't know if he could match his bae *ahem* in sweetness, but he could try something else..., "I'll sing It's still a dark night by Jeon Youngrok then".

Kyungsoo clutched a pillow in his lap in anticipation as he bit his lower lip, excited to hear Baekhyun's voice. And then Baekhyun began, and the whole world turned 5 degrees hotter. His inner music maniac started going crazy and Kyungsoo was glad he had put the pillow in his lap, because damn that sensual voice. Baekhyun looked at Kyungsoo with dark lust filled eyes, matching the mood of the song perfectly, each syllable sent shivers down Kyungsoo's torso. He felt like Baekhyun's voice was doing things that no one's hands or mouths had done before.

Baekhyun moved closer to Kyungsoo as the song progressed, caressing his cheek, face set in a seductive half smile. Kyungsoo followed every lip movement, every swipe of tongue that came to wet it, every sweep of Baekhyun's eyes down his body, settling on his lips in the end...

Baekhyun started moving closer to Kyungsoo's face as he sung the last notes from the song and Kyungsoo closed his eyes when the apartment door swung open. Jongdae and Chanyeol walked in laughing at some joke one of them had cracked. Baekhyun and Kyungsoo separated as fast as they could and shifted to the opposite ends of the sofa.

"Did we interrupt something?" Chanyeol asked when he felt two pairs of glares burning holes in his body.

"No, not at all. Help me serve food." Kyungsoo huffed as he got up, and made his way to the kitchen again.

Jongdae just looked at Baekhyun and gave him an appreciative and knowing grin before stalking after Chanyeol.

Left alone in the living room Baekhyun cursed under his breath at the turn of events and vowed to himself that he would get close to Kyungsoo soon.

Heyo! Another part for this series. You might not have realized, but i have a thing for Baekhyun's incisors. i think i am in love with them. they are so beautiful. have you ever seen anything as pretty as that?

Do tell me what you think. i like it when people talk to me.

If it slipped your memory, the song Kyungsoo sang called back in time, he also sang in the 90:2014 ballad episode. the its still a dark night song, baekhyun sang, is from exo's performance in immortal show. I am listening to this currently. I love it, though you should know its not exo related.

I am not sure if some of you know about it yet or not, but i made a baeksoo reference list wherein i am putting all baeksoo ship stories. i am only taking pure baeksoo though, i.e. baeksoo that isnt interrupted by other ship that break baeksoo, e.g. kaisoo. If you haven't, go check it out.
