“why are you doing this?” baekhyun asked, tears forming his puppy eyes

Chanyeol remained silent. His head hung low. Teeth latching onto his bottom lip

“do you even love me..” baekhyun whispered, achingly, legs trembling

Chaenyeol hissed standing up from the couch and pull the smaller one to his chest, crushing him with a tight hug. “never…never question that” chaenyeol tightened his jaw, his eyes closed tightly keeping the tears at bay.

He never wanted any of this to happened. They both never did.

“y-you c-can’t be wi-with me..” baekhyun hiccupped, struggling to speak out the words

Chanyeol shake his head, hugging tighter the trembling body against him

“we can baekhyun…we can, let’s runaway..,let’s go..let’s go together..”

Baekhyun’s small delicate hands gripped tightly against chaenyeol’s shirt, his tears kept falling, like it was never enough

“n-no..w-we c-c-an’t..you c-can’t y-yeol..”

Chanyeol slowly pulled him away and bump their forehead against each other, hot breath hitting another’s face

“please…baekhyun..please..”  

Baekhyun opened his red eyes, focusing on the giant in front of him, his lovely giant..

His hands went up to the huge ears, to the small sharp set of jaw, and stopped at his cheeks, he feels thinner, he looked thinner

“I love y-you..i-I do.”

Chanyeol finally let out the tears he’s been holding back, this whole time trying to act tougher and stronger yet it feels like he’s truly the one who’s more afraid of losing the other

“you have no idea” chanyeol replied

He kissed baekhyun’s cheeks, baekhyun’s lips, baekhyun’s nose, and baekhyun’s forehead, each kiss tasted different, tasted sweeter, lovely, sadder.,

“s-stop..” baekhyun pleaded, weakening at every second of that moment

Chaenyeol pull at baekhyun’s chin as he lifted the smaller’s head up. “no. I’ll fight for you. I’ll fight for the both of us.”
