Paralysed
Long Way DownTaekwoon blinked "E- Excuse me?" A strange sort of ringing began to sound off in his ears, like a panic alarm blaring in his brain. He felt a lump form in his throat and, for a split second, he thought he was going to pass out again. "You heard him," Sanghyuk grinned slyly. The writer's hand tightened around Ravi's and he could feel the way the younger man had tensed up.
Taekwoon bit his lip, waiting for the protests to come; they were written all over his face, scrawled in black ink only visible to himself. He didn't know why his heart seemed to sink at that. It just wasn't fair. Ravi had told him just the other day that he had kissed all those girls, that kisses didn't really matter...

After a long, awkward pause, Ravi began to laugh quietly. He shook his head and let go of the basin. "Well, lets get this over with." He went to draw closer to Taekwoon with his lips slightly puckered before the writer pulled away, turning his back. "Hyung?"
"Shut up," he said.
"I wasn't going to-"
"Just shut up."
"What's up? I know this is awkward but-"
