-Embrace

We're brothers, right?

 Se Hun was worried. There was no way that he could change the past. 

Tao, Chen and Lay were coming over  and hell, he was in trouble. His friends didn't know a thing about his step brother- who is a target of Tao- and he surely knew that he would lose his pride.

Biting his lower lip and roaming around in circle, he started to panic. With his free hands, he ruffled his hair in frustration, angry because he didn't know what to do. He checked the time that was hanging in the nearest wall "15:15" he read out, as he thought that only half an hour was left until his nightmare comes alive.

"Come on Se Hun, think!" he scolded himself, trying to find a solution to this never ending problem, but to no avail. Cursing his luck, he started to move towards his room, clearly mad, but pouring his anger onto a certain someone.

Harshly opening the door to his room, he eyed the older male, who was startled from the sudden appearance of his 'brother'.

"O-Oh, Se Hun" Lu Han called, but his voice trailed off when he noticed the younger's aura.

Se Hun looked at the older, his eyes filled with anger. Se Hun mentally blamed the older.

"is e-everything.... Alright?" Lu Han questioned, not too sure if he should ask this question.

Se Hun just rolled his eyes and ignored the older. Whispering some audible curses, which seemed to be for Lu Han. Hearing those words, he lowered his head down. It hurted, but he tried to ignore, as he placed a small bitter smile onto his face; covering the pain that the younger was giving.

Catching a glimpse, Se Hun swored that he saw a pain drawn on the older's face, but shrugged the thought off, as a feeling of guilt tried to wash over him.

"I-I heard Y-your conversation... W-with your f-friends" Se Hun still continued to ignore the older by rummaging through his closet. "if you want me... I-I can h-hel-" Lu Han was cut off when Se Hun turned around and said

"you can help me by getting out off my life" ouch! That was harsh, but Lu han didn't said anything. He stayed calm, which pissed Se Hun a bit, but soon an idea came to his mind.

 

-------------------------------

 

"Why are we here?" Lu Han asked, as he watched the younger lock the back door of the house. The younger just ignored as usual.

Lu Han was still in his pajamas: baby blue color with yellow ducks patterned. His brown hair was messy and due to his fever, his skin was pale. Not an attractive look. As for Se Hun, he was wearing a grey sweat pant and a plain white tight t-shirt; defining his small toned body.

Lu han shivered when a cold breeze rushed through. The weather was cold because of the continuous rain from the previous days and not wearing a warm  cloth, he regretted his choice (but obviously, he didn't had a chance to change his clothes or a choice to not follow Se Hun)

Slowly walking toward the old garden, Se Hun made his way to the old swings. Sitting down in one of those, he started to swing a little. Lu Han, not knowing what to do, slowly followed towards Se hun's direction, but stopped for a while, trying to make a 'personal space' between them.

Gazing up at the sky, Lu Han smiled softly, as he inhaled the fresh air that Lu Han wanted, because of his sickness he felt as if he was suffocated. Little did he knew that Se Hun was staring at Lu Han.

He examined the older's pale face. Yep, he was still sick. Examined the brown messy hair, examined his entire body from head to toe and back to Lu han's face and stopped his gaze when he noticed the small smile. 

"Is there something on my face?" the question snapped the younger. Quickly turning away and hiding his flushed face, he continued to swing, as if the cold breeze will blow his hot flushed face away.

After a good minute of silent, Lu Han broke the silence. " I still remember the time.... When we were young.."

Se hun's face returned to his usual cold face, perfectly hiding any emotions left.  'Yeah. The first and the last time I talked to him' Se Hun thought, as he stared ahead of him, remembering the past....

(flashback) 

 

He fell down hard on the ground. Face first. Bleeding from his nose, the clumsy 7 year old Lu Han started to cry.

His mother wasn't there and as for Se Hun, he was inside, locking himself in his own room. 

Lu Han slowly stood up, making little groans as he did so. His arms and knees had little bruises and for his nose.... Hope it was not broken.  Sniffing a few more time, he wiped the dripping blood carefully. He winced at the little contact with his nose. He was now scared. Thinking that he broke his nose, he started to pour his heart out.

Just to watch the scene, Se hun looked at the older with a pissed off face, but softened when he saw the view.  A hint of worried ness flooded over the younger as he ran toward the direction of the older. Lu Han was still crying, not knowing that Se Hun had rushed to his side.

"yah, are you alright?!"

 

-----------------------------------------

Unknowingly, a little smile formed onto Se hun's face. The anger which boiled inside the younger's just about 10 minutes ago, now was faded away like the wind.

The older catching a little glimpse watched the younger in amazement. Never in his life he saw a smile on Se hun's face.

"y-you s-smiled..." Lu Han whispered, only audible to himself. 

Just then Se hun's phone rang, snapping the younger to reality. 

"Hello?" he said. 

"Yah! Open up, we're at the front of your house" it was Tao. 

Lu Han uninterested, just looked elsewhere and walked towards their small old shed. Exploring the old room, he couldn't help but smile as some old memories started to flash with each ancient things. 

For a second, a sudden pain crept on his head. Furrowing his brows, he rubbed his  temples with both hands, trying to break the slight pain away.

"I'm outside hyung. I had to go out because there was something I needed to finish" Se Hun lied, which was failing awfully. On the other line, Tao wouldn't be convinced by the maknae. Sighing, Se hun said again "Hyung, believe me! I'm outside the house!" he rolled his eyes.

 

Lu Han closed the shed's door behind as he made his way towards Se Hun.  Wincing at the sudden pain, he closed his eyes tightly and opened them; trying to adjust his vision with the pain.

"S-Se hun" he called out, but the younger was too busy talking in the phone. "Se-Se Hun" he tried once more, but Se Hun had his back faced against Lu Han. The surrounding started to move around, as Lu han's vision started to blur.

"maybe you should come next time hyung. I'll promise, I'll be there that time  and-" Se Hun turned around to only find Lu Han lying flat on the ground. 

"Y-yah!" Se hun shouted, dropping his phone. In the other line Tao was confused.

Se Hun ran toward Lu Han, bending down on Lu Han's level. Turning the older, he placed the back of his hand on the older's forehead. It was cool, at least cooler than before. Lying down on Lu Han's chest, Se Hun heard the steady heart beating.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Biting his lower lip, he proceeded to made his way to his room, Lu Han in his arms. "He is heavier then he looks" he mumbled under his breath, carrying Lu Han bridal style.

 

Laying the older cautiously, he sighed exhaustion written all over his face as he flopped down on the wooden floor. Then realisation hit him. His phone. Cursing under his breath, he made his way out of the room and made his way to the backyard.

Outside, he searched for his phone and fortunately, it was not broken. He picked up his phone and he checked every single detail of his precious phone. Thankfully, Tao was not on the line either. Getting up, he dusted off some invisible dust off his sweat pants and made his way inside.

Going to the front door and secretly checking the window, he sighed in relief that there was no sign of his friends.

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Flash back)

 

"Y-Yah! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Se Hun snapped, as he pulled his hands away. Trying to sound hard, but failed as he stuttered and his face was showing obvious signs of embarrassment.

"S-Sorry" Lu Han apologised, shutting his eyes close and tried to ignore the heat, which seemed to rise rapidly.

Se Hun got off the bed, feeling uncomfortable and making a personal space. Imagining the sight of his older 'brother' too much, he started to get nervous. Gulping the saliva in his throat, he tried to run away in an instant. "I better be going" he thought, as he started to make his way out, thinking that staying away from the older would help him reduce this stupid feeling inside his tummy. Before going out, he took one last glance at the older, who was still in the position from before he apologised. Sighing, Se Hun walked out of the room.

 

 

--------------------------------------

Slowly approaching towards his room, he stopped in mid-way. Making his mind out, he then started to go past his room, stopping right infront of Lu Han's room. Letting out a long breath, Se Hun pulled the door handle down.

First impression of the older's room was... neat. That was what Se Hun had imagined. He made his way inside the room. Scanning every corner of the room, his gaze stopped when it landed into Lu Han's bedside table. There was a photoframe, it contained a picture of an 8 year old Lu Han and Se Hun.

As usual, Lu Han was smiling warmly; showing a genuine smile and as for Se Hun, it was completly the oppposite, Se Hun crossing his arms over his chest and furrowed his brows; looking angry as ever.

Se Hun let out an airy chuckle, looking at his own picture.

"What are you doing?" the voice startled the living Jesus out off Se Hun's chest, as he jumped slightly and a small yelp came out of his mouth. Looking to the direction where the voice came from, he saw Lu Han eyeing him with confusion written all over his face. Lu Han rubbed his temple with one of his hand, already knowing that the younger wouldn't respond to him, so he approached toward hi bedside table and looked for something.

Se Hun quickly kept the photoframe where it was orginally from and backed away, as he saw Lu Han approaching toward him.

Searching for a while, he finally found what he was looking for. Taking a pain killer out and swallowing without any drink, Lu Han gulped the medicine. Se Hun just stared at the older in amazement. Se Hun had never been a big fan of medicines and if he did needed it, then a drink would be a must, but here Lu Han was simply swallowing it.

"Is something wrong?" the older asked again, but Se Hun looked away, making his way out of the room. Suddenly, he was stopped when he felt something grabbing his arm; preventing him to go away.

Se Hun looked back; facing the older with the typical expression plastered on his face. "I-I wanted to say... thank you. Thank you so much for taking care of me... and thank you so much for carrying me" With a blink of an eye, Se Hun was shocked from the sudden contact from his 'brother'. He stood still as the older embraced the younger. "I thought you left, but you didn't"

-------------------------------------------------------

 

(Flash back)

 

He came back with a bowl filled with cold water and dry towel. Making his way in the room, he wasn't really shocked from the sight.

Se Hun slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and proceeded to wet the towel with the cold water.

Hearing the splashing noises, Lu Han looked up, totally suprised. "I-I thought y-you left.." his voice trailed off, as he saw Se Hun coming closer to him and rinsing the towel, he looked up at Lu Han.

Rubbing the cold wet towel on Lu Han's chest then down to his abdomen and back and forth. 'This is so embarrasing' Se Hun thought, as he continued to rub. Eyeing and capturing every detail of Lu Han, he couldn't help but be mesmerize by his beauty. Without Lu Han's glasses and without his perfect uniform, Se Hun admitted, Lu Han looked beautiful from upclose.

"S-Se Hun" bringing the younger back to the reality, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Lu Han confused. Mustering all the courage, Lu Han said "I-I'm not asking you to do this or a-anything, but... your hands were b-better"

After the single comment or a single compliment, Se Hun could feel his face flush bright red. Then there was an awkward silent between them, again trying to break the ice, Lu Han said "I-I mean... your hands were much c-cooler and..." then he trailed off.

Se Hun caught a glimp of the older. He could see a tinge of pink on the older's cheek, but shrugged the thought off when he thought that it must have been because of his fever... not because he was  feeling shy.
