Chapter Six

The Lowdown

 

 "Your butts going to be so sore after this!" yelled Taemin

"My what?" spluttered Key.

"After we go on the see-saw! Come on!" whooped Taemin, jumping down lithely from the slide. They were in an abandoned park that was behind their apartment, and were running around like maniacs, glad they were out of the dorm

"Get on, get on!" shouted Taemin laughing. "You have to get on!"

"Ew, it's probably dirty..I'm going to catch a disease or something.." whined Key.

"No you won't! Please hyung, please!"

Key couldn't resist Taemin's wide, excited eyes and his infectious giggle. He sighed.

"Only for you," he said while delicately sitting on the seat.

"It's on!" crowed Taemin, using his might to his legs up.

"Ow!" screeched Key when his tailbone collided with the metal seat. Time for the almighty Key to come out, thought Key evilly.

They continued to push up and down, making the other yell and laugh loudly as they rose up in the seat and slammed back down. Key concentrated all the power he had into his legs and pushed back up.

"Oh!" screamed Taemin as his body leapt into the air. He twisted his body so that he would miss the seat and came crashing down onto the bark covered ground.

"Oh my God!" shrieked Key." Oh my freaking God I'm so sorry! Are you alright? Aargh!" he wailed as he dashed over to Taemin, who was curled up into a foetal position. How the hell did someone fall off a see-saw?

"Are you hurt? Are you okay?"

"Hyung.. hyung.." Taemin said weakly."I can't breathe... I need.. I need.."

"What do you need? I'll get it!"

"Your love…I need your love like oxygen..”

Taemin burst out laughing, clapping his hands as Key gasped and pushed him roughly before huffing away.

"I can't believe you would trick me like that! You little jerk! I hate you!" screeched Key as he sat on a park bench. "Next time you get hurt you can just lie there and rot!"

"Sorry, sorry," laughed Taemin, crawling toward Key. "I couldn't resist! Forgive me hyung!" he put his arms around Key while still kneeling in front of him 'What do you want me to do to make it up for you?"

Key humphed and looked away.

"Are you offering me your cheek? I'm going to kiss it if you don't look at me! Look at me!"

Key kept staring at the tree next to them.

"Go on."

"Kiss..kiss your cheek?" asked Taemin, blushing. "Are you serious?"

"Do i look like I'm kidding?"

"Um.. okay..." Taemin willed up his courage and leaned in, closing his eyes.

But what met his lips was definitely not the smooth skin of a cheek. His eyes flew open to lock with Key's feline ones as Key was gently kissing him back. Before he could react, Key's arms reached out and s around him, pressing his body against Taemin.

Taemin could feel his heart and his head floating with excitement.

Taemin broke the kiss and grinned at Key shyly, not really believing what was happening.

"What," murmured Key as he caressed Taemin's cheek. "You didn't like it?"

"Haha not that,” laughed Taemin as he pressed his face against Key’s. “It’s just that I’ve imagined it so many times and I never thought my first kiss would be like this,” Taemin said, smiling widely. “I never thought it would actually happen.”

“What, did you dream that it would be with some girl?” purred Key, nipping Taemin’s lower lip.

Taemin had to stop himself from giggling maniacally at the softness.

“No,” Taemin whispered. “I dreamed about you. But I thought that was all it was going to be. You.. you never really gave me any clues, I thought.. I thought I was always the one looking at you.”

“Well,” Key stated, “I didn’t really know I liked you until a while back. All that fussing around because you were my baby sort of stayed, and you just got cuter and your body started getting majorly hot.  You know you’re my favourite Taemin, I even say it in interviews sometimes.” He suddenly smiled slyly. “And do you think I didn’t know you always looked at me and complimented me in interviews as well? I just tried to my hardest to look cool and handsome so you would only keep staring at me more.”

Taemin hugged Key tightly, too happy to roll his eyes at the diva-ish comment. Key chuckled at Taemin’s abrupt possessiveness.

“Aigoo Taemin, you’re so cute!”

“Do we tell the other hyungs?” Taemin asked excitedly.

“Can we take it slow for now Taemin? I have no idea how we’re supposed to be together when we work together and you have to get better first.”

“I am better,” Taemin interrupted testily.

“You know what I’m talking about,” Key sighed.

“I just have a scar that needs to heal, that’s all. And I’ve been eating and sleeping fine. I’m great.”

“See Taemin, this is exactly what I mean.”

“I have no idea what you’re trying to say,” Taemin said flippantly.

Key shook his head, sighing again. “Well, as for telling the others, I don’t think we need to tell them. They can figure it out themselves.  But you will agree we’ll take it slow, right?“

“Sure,” Taemin breathed, closing his eyes and leaning closer until their lips were not quite touching.

“What are you doing?” asked Key after the kiss he was expecting didn’t come.

“You said to take it slowly, so I’m going to kiss you very slowly,” Taemin smiled, lightly teasing.

“Oh for God’s sake,” growled Key, crushing his lips heatedly against Taemin’s.

Chapter 34: FINISHED!!! 5 HOURS AND WORTH IT. JKHDFJHKDFJHDF
Uggggh. I think you've written this really well. I know you said in chapter 20 that you felt like there wasn't any emotion in the chapter, but I went back and re-read it and ended up crying a little. I can relate to parts of this story, but you can ask me about that later if you like. lol But seriously, chapters 20-22 got to me and I had to literally pause for a while before I could read the next chapter. <3 you write angst soooooo amazingly good and I'm so jelly that you can write angst. Omg. Taekey's relationship was cute. I like that they weren't perfect and that you weren't afraid to write out their flaws. I think some authors get scared when writing their idols' flaws because you know...fans. lolol I don't like that 'Tear Drops on my Guitar' song. Forever ruined cos of someone. SMH. This fic made me laugh, cry a little, have little panic moments (nothing too intense lol) and it made me happy. Eeeeeeeep! Glad I read this! Shot bruuuuh for writing! Yayayayay! Finally read it. XD And now, I'll head over to fb and see if you're online. Hahaha
Otsukaresama dea!! :3 x

Chapter 33: Your a/n reminded me of something my sister was telling me about yesterday. Her friend who she was in the same course with, he relapsed back into his mental illness a couple of months ago. :( He's bi-polar and the stress of keeping up his grades etc got to him and after a couple of years being mental illness-free, he relapsed back and my sister was saying how sad she was when the last time she saw him he was really depressed and wouldn't smile or joke around with them at all. It made me so sad to hear that. He had really made an effort to change his life and was doing so well too. :(
