Secrets halved

Destined

The trio had made it back to their room, night had been and gone and for once they were able to have some bonding time without interruptions. It was beginning to turn into the daylight hours, meaning they should probably begin to prepare themselves for sleep, but a Disney movie had taken over their attention pulling them into a world of music, dance and cliché storylines. 

"Kyungsoo, get the door!" Luhan called from the kitchen, his hands filled with sticky cookie dough. He claimed that a Disney movie should be paired with homemade cookies. Baekhyun who was a lover of both, stated that they would pause the movie until the cookies were warm enough to eat. 

He laughed at Kyungsoo's whimper, without delay he stole more of the blue and white checkered blanket for himself, curling his legs and cuddling into the side of the couch. The television screen had the words Beauty and the Beast written across it. Excitement filled Baekhyun's veins as he heard the oven tray clank as it was set inside. The cookies had just made it into the oven. 

"Oh hello?" 

Baekhyun turned his gaze to the door once Kyungsoo opened it further. Three boys walked in and Baekhyun felt his breath hitch upon seeing who it was. 

"What are the three of you guys doing here?" Luhan asked diving down onto the ground, scared that the boys would see his Hello Kitty apron, he really needed to get rid of the merchandise if he didn't want anyone to see it. 

"We wanted to see if you guys were okay after earlier, we can see the wolves were taken away, that's good" Chanyeol answered, walking over to the counter his hands coming out to press up against the marble. 

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, giggling quietly as he raised the cup of blood to his lips. He waved to Sehun and Kai who were the only ones that noticed him, yet they both nodded when he pressed a finger to his lips. 

"Baekhyun gone to bed?" Chanyeol wondered the tone of his voice making him sound sad. Baekhyun quietly placed the blood filled cup down on the table before slowly walking up behind the wolf. 

"Nope" Kyungsoo answered, his head shaking as he closed the door and walked to the fridge. 

"Where is he?" Chanyeol asked generally curious. Baekhyun managed to make it just behind the taller to wrap his arms around his waist and cuddle into his back. 

"Behind you~" he singsonged tightening his grip ever so slightly. 

"Oh you're here?" Chanyeol wondered turning around in Baekhyun's hold, causing the vampire to come face to well.. chest. 

"Awww, you two are so cute!" Luhan yelled taking this as his chance to vampire speed down the hall and into his room, away from the prying eyes on his beloved apron.  

"Yah! Where are you going?!" Sehun yelled taking off after the vampire with his own wolf speed. 

"What were you watching?" Chanyeol questioned noticing the discarded blanket and paused screen. 

"Beauty and the Beast" Baekhyun giggled, looking back at the screen, his arms still very much wrapped around the wolves waist. Chanyeol slowly found himself leaning down lower so he could wrap his arms around Baekhyun's waist. 

"Disney?" 

"Yep" 

"Very ironic" Kyungsoo laughed getting involved with the conversation, while Kai watched with a cup of juice in hand. 

"What, why?" Baekhyun quizzed sending his friend a generally confused expression. However when the witch classed warlock stayed mute Chanyeol took the vampire's attention back. 

"How was your day?" 

Baekhyun let out a little chuckle his fingers rubbing against the back of the giants hoodie "My night was fine, although I am pretty tired now though" 

"Why don't you go to sleep then?" Chanyeol wondered nuzzling his nose into Baekhyun's hair, the scent had been teasing him since the moment the smaller had him in his arms. 

"Don't wanna" Baekhyun sighed contently, standing on the tip of his toes so Chanyeol could have easier access to his hair. 

Chanyeol smiled when he noticed the action. "Alright then I guess I'll keep you company for a little bit yeah?" 

"But dont you have classes? What time will you have to leave?" Baekhyun wondered, pulling himself back so he could see the wolf properly. 

"We are thinking of just skipping today, it's Friday anyway so" the giant shrugged picking the vampire up and walking with him to the couch. Baekhyun squealed at the gesture before laughing at the height he suddenly had in comparison to his usual 5'9.

"You have a point" Baekhyun nodded, when Chanyeol had dropped him down on the couch. "OH LUHAN!" He screamed trying to get Luhan's attention from his bedroom, where he expected Sehun to be also. 

Chanyeol and Kai burst into fits of laughter. Juice went everywhere as Kai had no control over the laughing fit that suddenly attacked hearing Baekhyun's call. Kyungsoo and the vampire looked between the wolves in confusion. 

"What did you just call me??" Luhan whispered walking into the room a deep red blush on his cheeks, Sehun following him closely, a similar red blush on his cheeks. 

"I called you Luhan?" Baekhyun deadpanned, sending his hyung a confused expression. 

"You called me Oh Luhan" 

"No I didn't I said Oh and then your name" 

"Oh is my name" Sehun muttered his eyes unable to meet with anyone's. 

"Your name is Sehun" Kyungsoo retorted with a sigh.

"My name is Oh Sehun" 

"Oh ...." Baekhyun gasped claping a hand over his mouth in shame. He just unintentionally called Luhan by his marriage name to Sehun. Chanyeol began seal clapping. His laughter not even coming out of his mouth anymore. "Sorry" Baekhyun apologised before turning to look at a red cheeked Luhan.

"Why did you call me anyway Baek?" Luhan asked wanting to move on from the topic of embarrassment. 

"I just wanted to ask if you and Kyung want to stay up the rest of the day so we can get into routine for the day classes that we have scheduled for Monday" Baekhyun voiced out. 

"That sounds like a great idea Baekhyun" Kyungsoo exclaimed, pulling away from helping Kai clean up the spilled grape juice he had spilled earlier. 

"Glad I thought about it then" Baekhyun grinned plopping back against the chair, unconsciously moving closer to the warmth that was Park Chanyeol. He wrapped the blanket over himself and passed Chanyeol some too, not wanting the wolf to think that he wasn't being fair to him. 

"Is that invitation for us too?" Sehun wondered looking down at the small vampire cuddled up close to his hyung. 

"Well you need to be by your husband now don't you?!" Kai laughed wolf running towards Chanyeol who didn't want to move to disrupt Baekhyun. Kai raised a brow but moved closer, his hand casually waiting for a high five. When he stepped closer again that gave Chanyeol the perfect amount of distance to deliver it. 

"It was a mistake! I didn't know his last name!" Baekhyun whimpered his face diving into Chanyeol's chest. 

"That's what makes it more funny!" Chanyeol laughed, wrapping his arms around the vampire's shoulders. 

"Shut it Yoda or I swear to Lord Jisoos I will kill you" Luhan grumbled his eyes narrowing in anger towards the wolf. 

"Its more scary when you say it" he announced to Baekhyun who laughed after pulling back. 

"Don't worry Lu I'll take care of him" Baekhyun spoke pulling his arm out and around Chanyeol's back in a head lock. "DEFENSE CLASS!" He screams straight into Chaneol's pixie ear making him whince in reply. 

" Baekhyun-" he choked tapping the smaller's arm in defeat, the smaller sure did have a tight grip. Baekhyun let him go and Chanyeol's head fell into his lap coughing drastically. The four other boys watched them intently, Kyungsoo and Kai unable to close their jaws after having been watching the two since the very beginning. 

"That was cruel" the giant croacked, his colossal hand wrapping around his throat to soothe it down. 

"Sorry" Baekhyun cooed, looking down at the pout forming on the taller's lips. 

"You apologising, wow I still can't get over that" Chanyeol chuckled sending the vampire a small wink. Baekhyun's eyes narrowing hitting the giant on the shoulder. 

"YAH! Learn to accept apologies!" 

"Fine!" Chanyeol hissed rubbing the spot repeatedly but the hit didn't really effect him that much, he was just exaggerating to make the smaller smile in accomplishment. 

He'd never admit it but Chanyeol felt like his chest was on fire. He didn't know if it was because of the fact Baekhyun had smacked him or if it was because Baekhyun had cut off the oxygen to his brain, but then again it could be the close proximity they had been to each other, it was surprising but something Chanyeol could really cherish. 

Chanyeol took this as a time to look at Baekhyun, his perceptive changed now that he had his head in the vampire's lap. Baekhyun's fingers were trailing between his silver locks softly leading Chanyeol back to sleep. The giant shook of the thought of sleeping, although it would be a very comfortable place to rest. Baekhyun's thighs were beyond comfortable, his fingers were magical in his hair too but the wolf couldn't get the thought of the smaller running his fingers through his hair for another reason out of his head. 

Chanyeol relished the view, Baekhyun was wearing an over-sized hoodie, grey sweatpants and some blue and white fluffy socks. He looked beyond comfortable but above all adorable in the over-sized clothes. He wanted to see Baekhyun like this alot more often, something he would have never expected to be thought of. 

"Ever seen the sunrise?" Chanyeol asked all of a sudden breaking his train of thought for something else. 

Baekhyun looked down at him and shook his head. "No" 

Immediately Chanyeol stood up and took his hand pulling Baekhyun easily out of the couch. Ignoring their friend's questionable looks Chanyeol allowed Baekhyun out into the balcony first before slipping out the door himself, being sure to close it after.  

Baekhyun shivered slightly under the mid morning air, it was chilly outside the dorm but the view made up for the torture of the cold. Chanyeol breathed in the sight that was Byun Baekhyun, all cuddled up in baggy clothes and leaning up against the railing of the balcony. He looked so small and innocent, a feeling washing over the Alpha telling him that Baekhyun needed protecting. 

"Come here" Chanyeol whispered opening his arms as he sat down in the oval shaped swinging chair that Baekhyun hadn't noticed was there. With a faint blush Baekhyun slowly approached the wolf his breath hitching when Chanyeol's hands met with his waist pulling him closer. 

"It's just about time" the wolf grinned after shooting his Rolex a quick glance. 

"Nice watch" Baekhyun giggled inspecting the Rolex with his eyes. Chanyeol sent him a smile in appreciation before he tapped his lap. 

Blushing furiously Baekhyun tossed his leg over Chanyeol's, the taller holding onto it tightly while Baekhyun sat himself down in his lap getting comfortable before allowing his other leg to join over Chanyeol's. Out of pure embarrassment Baekhyun nuzzles his head into Chanyeol's neck savouring the instant warmth that greeted his body. 

The Alpha wrapped his arms around the vampire's thin waist, his legs stretched out ahead of them, touching the decking of the balcony, allowing him to push the swing back and forward. 

"There it is" he whispered feeling Baekhyun immediately turn to look out into the glowing sky etched into the holes in the trees from the forest that surround the school, dots of pink and orange decorated the tree line like a painting. 

"The school looks like it fell here from space" Baekhyun giggled looking out through the railings at the trees and grass below. 

"What do you mean?" The taller questioned tightening his grip on the smallers figure. 

"Well look around, this part of the forest is gone completely, almost like the school crushed all the vegetation when it fell. Notice that some of the trees are tilted away from the school? Almost as if they received the backlash of the impact" 

"That's a nice theory" Chanyeol whispered "why don't you tell me a story?" 

Baekhyun took his time to come up with a story to satisfy Chanyeol's desire of one, yet the only thing that took up Baekhyun's mind were horrible memories that will stay with him for the rest of his life. Kihyun had managed to help him through his most terrifying but he still had a folder of more hidden in the deepest part of his mind. 

"Imagine a manor located somewhere in the city. The exterior surrounded by bushes, shrubs, cobble-stones and high trees to hide the view of any on-looker that grows curious of the house and it's inhabitants. A main road isolates the manor further, just another attempt to shield the screams of terror and darkness" 

Chanyeol could feel Baekhyun's shoulder's raise and fall as he began shaking in his hold. He tightened his grip further, unsure of why the smaller was telling him this. 

"Eering shrieks and memories that remain in your head for months on end, and yet the pictures and voices are always a blur, a side affect from all the mind control given from a crazy man you thought you were in love with" 

Chanyeol wanted to tell him to stop. He wanted Baekhyun to know he wasn't alone. He wanted Baekhyun to know he was there and he wouldn't let anything hurt him. 

"But you guess that was just because you actually wanted to feel love in this cruel world. Your mind was just playing tricks on your heart like a kid asking for treats on Halloween, one of the many holidays I never got to celebrate as a child. I guess that's why I'm childish and immature now, my childhood was ripped away from me when I was only 14 I never had a normal childhood filled with parents or love..instead I was the toy of a vampire who claimed to be my mate. Foolish childish thoughts made me believe him, but then when I started acting out and disappointing him he'd use mind control.. you know Chanyeol not being able to control your mind as well as your body is probably the most scariest thing that happened in my life" 

"Baek.." As soon as the nickname left Chanyeol's lips the sun has risien fully into the sky, showcasing all its glory and bright light. 

Fearing for Baekhyun's condition he forced the swing chair around. Immediately he began apologising, his small amount of vampire knowledge did involve vampires and their hatred of the sun. 

"Don't be, you can't change anything" Baekhyun sniffed misunderstanding why the giant had apologised. When Chanyeol remained silent for a few more minutes Baekhyun found himself burrowing back into Chanyeol's neck finding comfort and security there. 

"Then at least let me apologise for putting your life at risk with the sunrise Baek- I'm so sorry" 

"Chanyeol I don't burn" Baekhyun whispered pulling away to look the giant in his eyes. He probably knew that he shouldn't tell Chanyeol about his 'magical' skin but he couldn't help but feel like he could trust the giant.

"What?"

"I don't burn" 

Baekhyun began to push the swing chair back around, Chanyeol almost fainting once he saw the boy smile, the sunlight to dancing happily on his face. 

"I haven't felt it in so long... I've only ever seen darkness when I was with my supposed mate, I value the sun greatly now" 

Chanyeols breath caught in his throat. The Beauty before him was like no other, it wasn't like any kind of creature, human or person he'd ever seen. Baekhyun truly was special, but with his gift would bring trouble once the council finds out about it. 

"How is this possible?" Chanyeol wondered generally curious as he was unable to stop himself from his action. Baekhyun gasped quietly when the wolves large hand came into contact with his cheek. 

"I'm not really sure.." Baekhyun began turning around so he was solely facing Chanyeol "but I don't mind, I like the warmth it allows me to feel, vampires aren't known for being warm blooded creatures" he giggled shyly. 

"You said that you haven't really seen the sun alot in your life because of the dickhead, what happened?" 

"I've didn't always liked the sun when I was younger, like any other foolish child I would go outside and get burned in the summer's sun. When I finally met him he told me that he could take me away from all the pain that the sun brought. I was 14 at the time, a stupid emotional teen who willingly gave my life over to the man who could take me away from my suffering, my family home was broken so I was excited to leave that too.."  

Chanyeol listened intently to Baekhyun as he confessed so easily, tightening his grip on his waist every couple of minutes when he felt like Baekhyun would slowly slip back into the painful memories. 

"His name was Daehyun and I loved him. He had a great way of twirling me around his finger, I'd do everything for him and I did whether I had a choice or not" 

"Baek-?"

"He was a vampire, he compelled me with his mind control to get me to do as he pleased. No matter how much I wanted to deny it to him there was one thing that stopped me from doing everything he wanted and that was my parents. I still loved them dearly even if our home was broken, but he saw that as my weakness. 'Daehyun's mate should never have a weak spot', and before long he forced me to get rid of it" Chanyeol could feel the tears prick his throat as the smaller continued his story, he had brought the smaller closer on his lap, their foreheads touching subconsciously. 

"I killed my parents Chanyeol" Baekhyun cried "he told me to kill them and I let myself do it-" Chanyeol let Baekhyun grab his shirt and cry harder. He knew that Baekhyun needed to let out his emotions one way or another. 

The wolf grabbed the vampire, pulling him into his chest while he leaning back as far as he could in the swing-chair. He was crying too, the story of the small vampire in his arms broke his heart. Baekhyun had suffered alot, even if that was the tip of the iceberg there would be more under the survive that he would maybe be able to get at eventually. Although he didnt know why Baekhyun had chosen to tell him about his life, he told himself that he never regretted being able to learn. 

The smaller was broken just as much as he was and Chanyeol couldn't help but feel like they were connected on a deeper level. 

Stealing a glance at the crying boy on his chest Chanyeol realised just how small Baekhyun was comparison to him. His legs were curled on the wolf's lap while his upper body rested against the whole of his waist and abdomen. Chanyeol pressed a single kiss on the top of his head causing Baekhyun to stir. 

"Chanyeol?" Baekhyun whispered pulling away while sniffling. 

"Yeah Baekhyun?" 

"You probably have to get to class now..I think it best if you leave now.." 

"What why?" Chanyeol blurted quickly, going back to his earlier position of holding Baekhyun's waist as to not let him fall. 

"For me? I don't think I can deal with a sleepover thing today, I'm not really feeling up to it.." 

"How about tomorrow?" Chanyeol asked, hopeful.

"Maybe" Baekhyun nodded, smiling sadly. 

Pulling the smaller back into his chest Chanyeol pushed the seat back and forward making it sway gently in a rhythm. Holding him closer, Chanyeol started humming secretly wishing it would make Baekhyun fall asleep so he could stay in his arms longer.
