Description

AU in which Donghae is a stripper hired by Hyukjae’s friends for his bachelor party. Hyukjae can’t even remember his bride-to-be’s face – it’s a marriage of convenience anyway – and if he goes to sleep that night in a stranger’s arms and dreams of another life, it probably isn’t his fault. There’s just something about those brown eyes and warm hands that enraptures Hyukjae in a way he has never been.

Foreword

“D’you want to sleep with me?” Donghae feels the words roll off his tongue before he’s even aware of it.

Hyukjae thinks it’s a stupid question, his hard-on is literally straining against his dress pants and how can Donghae not feel it when he’s practically on his lap? “What do you think?”

Donghae’s breath tickles against his skin as he says, “I think you do, but I also know Mr Lee Hyukjae is getting married to his bride tomorrow.”

“Donghae, you know I’m gay,” Hyukjae says, trying not to roll his eyes or lose his mind over the way heat is radiating off Donghae’s body.

He hears Donghae laugh. Then he leans in and plants a quick kiss on the tip of Hyukjae’s nose. “I’m kidding, Hyukjae. Your friends just didn’t pay me enough.”

Hyukjae sniggers and says “don’t worry, baby, I’m made of money”, even though he hears a small voice at the back of his head that goes: here we go again; it’s always about money, money, money.

He tells the voice to shut the up, he’s trying to have a good time, and it’s soon forgotten when he’s leaning against the headrest of the bed and Donghae is kneeling in front of him looking like Himeros from the 21st century.

So it seems I have dug yet another hole for myself. Please don't expect too much explicit content lest you end up disappointed. 

Inspired by Lana Del Rey's National Anthem.

(also, the chapter titles are meant to be read in conjunction with the fic title! i.e. 'when the lights go out, i'll show you how it's done' / 'when the lights go out, run away with me' / 'when the lights go out... here comes the sun')

Chapter 6: This is a whole masterpiece! The raw emotions are so well conveyed, I can feel all the sorrow and longing. It's such a beautiful story, it broke my heart and then mended it back together. This was so perfect. From the way they met each other and felt an instant connection to the lingering feeling of not wanting to let go. I loved their characterization, they have such good personalities even to the point where they both got hurt by love :(
I adore this story so much, thank you for writing it and for giving us both endings. I loved the angst but it's so nice when they can be together too, it makes me feel so empty if they ended up never seeing each other again T^T
You did a great job writing the story and I'm very grateful for it. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! ❤️❤️❤️
