Kyuhyun sat by Ryeowook's bedside, holding Ryeowook's hand until he thought the smaller had fallen asleep. The three older boys were still watching him, waiting to see what he would do. He tried as gently as possible to pry Ryeowook's fingers off, but the other boy held on tight. The truth was that he hadn't quite fallen asleep yet, "Kyuhyunnie stay." He whimpered, "Cuddle." 

Kyuhyun looked at Ryeowook's elder brothers for permission. Leeteuk and Eunhyuk smiled approvingly. Outnumbered, Donghae could do nothing but glare. 

So Kyuhyun lifted the covers and slid in beside Ryeowook, who hugged him straight away. 

Kyuhyun wasn't stupid. He knew that the other three also slept in this room, that he wouldn't be alone with Ryeowook tonight. But somehow, it was alright. 

"I'll go shower now." Leeteuk smiled softly, glad to see Ryeowook happy. 

One by one, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, and Donghae went to take showers while Kyuhyun and Ryeowook cuddled. "Kyukyu?" Ryeowook asked in a shy voice. 

"Yes, Wookie?" 

"Kiss again?" 

Donghae and Eunhyuk stared. 

Kyuhyun did not reply. 

He just kissed. 

Seeing Kyuhyun kiss Ryeowook made Eunhyuk kind of want to kiss Donghae too ... 

. 

Leeteuk's voice called them all back, "Kyuhyun, I gather you're staying over tonight?" 

"If ... if Ryeowook wants me to." Kyuhyun stammered, feeling it would be rude to just say yes. 

"Kyukyu stay." Ryeowook said, confirming things. 

"Alright," Leeteuk smiled more widely than ever, "Do you want to take a shower Kyuhyun? Ryeowook, let Kyuhyun go for just a few minutes so he can go shower ... he'll be back in a minute, giraffe boy!" Leeteuk added when Ryeowook whined. 

"It's okay ... I'll stay with Ryeowook if he wants me to." Kyuhyun was obviously very happy that Ryeowook wanted him so much, "I don't like taking too many showers in the winter anyway ... it's a bit too cold for me." 

Leeteuk nodded, "Well then, Hyukkie, Hae, get into bed." which of course started the whining all over again. "Get into bed you little brats! Now!" Seeing that Leeteuk meant business, Eunhyuk and Donghae shut up and scrambled into bed. 

Eunhyuk stared longingly at Donghae. 

"Good night Eunhyuk, Donghae, good night Ryeowook and Kyuhyun." 

"Good night Teukie hyung." they chorused. Leeteuk turned off the lights.
