"You know, there's been a question I've always asked myself, every single day, every single hour," Seungwoo confessed, letting the autumn breeze wash over him as he watched the waves at the far end, silently rushing towards shore. 

"And what's that?" Yixing scooted closer to him, and he could feel the warmth of the man beside him as they huddled under a shared blanket. 

"Whether I'm just ed up in the head, or strange in my own way." He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, exhaling now that the burden was off his shoulders. There. He'd said it. You better not make me regret, Lee Suhyo, he fumed in his mind.

For a few moments, Yixing was silent, and the both of them watched the waves, and the soft golden glow that was cast over the water, indicating sunset, with its brilliant colours painted across the sky, trails of purple and yellow and orange. Then, breaking the silence, he spoke, "Well, I'm not too sure about that." 

Seungwoo waited, his heart pounding loud in his ears, as he waited for the reaction that was bound to come; disgust, fear, realisation that he was a monster. Still, he hoped, that, maybe the man beside him wasn't like the others. 

He prayed. 

And perhaps Lady Luck had finally smiled upon him, because a hand suddenly entwined itself with his, slender fingers digging into his skin as Yixing turned and smiled at him. "But we can find out together." 

*holds heart as Xingwoo feels come washing over me*

*chokes and became overwhelmed*
