Eunhyuk had strong immune system, no virus could ever penetrate it's firewall like protection, except one did. Just one small virus that reared it's ugly head when he turned seventeen. An age that Eunhyuk detested because he couldn't get anywhere near Donghae without feeling ill.

“I'm allergic to you,” Eunhyuk stated on a foggy, sunless day as Donghae was walking right beside him. Hands stuffed into his pockets as his head shot up in surprise.

“What?”

“I'm allergic to you,” Eunhyuk stated more confidently as his speed increased. Boots kicking the fallen snow out of the way, Donghae caught his friend's slim hand in his calloused one.

“You can't be serious.”

“Oh no? Why not,” the elder questioned stopping in his tracks.

“Because something like that can't exist,” Donghae countered making Eunhyuk roll his eyes. Just by the simple contact he felt his skin was on fire and soon he'd scratch the area like crazy as if mosquitoes had got to him. Which was a ridiculous excuse because what mosquito would be out in the winter?

“You're crazy,” Donghae stated as if it was a commandment from god. Slipping his arm away, Eunhyuk could only huff in response. He knew he shouldn't have told Donghae, but he found his common sense slipping whenever his dongsaeng was around. Just another symptom to his illness he supposed.

“I figured you'd say that.”

“Because it's true,” Donghae said laughing wholeheartedly. Burrowing his head deeper into his turtleneck shirt, the red-head could only grunt in response, his stomach currently in knots as he willed himself to keep walking.

“Whatever, let's just hurry up or we'll be late.”

“Y-Yah, Hyung! Wait up for me!”

“What about me makes you allergic?” Donghae questioned one day as he laid down on his bed. Blood rushing to his head as he stared at the currently upside-down Hyuk.

“Aigo, are we still on this,” Eunhyuk stated typing furiously away on Hae's computer the history assignment he 'conveniently' had forgotten. His long sleeved shirt dangling just a bit since it was 'borrowed' from his brother's Heechul's closet. The red cotton almost matching his dark wine red hair.

Donghae never noticed, but ever since Eunhyuk's birthday last year the male always kept wrapping himself up in very warm clothes. Even if the weather outside was sunny. It was ridiculous!

“Just answer the question,” Donghae said exasperatedly as he lowered his head down till it hit the carpeted floor.

“Just you in general,” Eunhyuk replied softly as snow. Which was currently falling gently down outside. Donghae wasn't to fond of the coldness the winter season brought, but he couldn't deny it made for a beautiful scenery.

“Nothing specific?”

“Nope.....well, maybe,” Eunhyuk finally admitted as his flushed face turned a light pink, but Donghae was pretty sure that was because of the lack of blood flow.

“So....care to explain?”

Biting his lips, Eunhyuk's fingers stopped for a moment before beginning to type again. The tapping of the keys filling in the silence Donghae's question left.

“M-Maybe I'll tell you, when you're older,” Eunhyuk decided finally as Donghae looked up in confusion. That really made no sense, but Donghae didn't say anything as his interest slowly faded and went towards his ceiling.

“You're really confusing hyung.”

“I could say the same thing about you,” Eunhyuk retorted slightly offended, but he couldn't help but smile behind his scarf as he hit the last key ending his paper.

Eunhyuk sat down on the park bench, the coldness seeping into his denim jeans, but the blonde didn't take notice as he stared at the frozen lake.

“Hyung,” a warm voice flooded his ears, “what are you doing here? You're going to freeze,” Donghae sighed taking a seat beside him. Trying to lend his scarf, Eunhyuk only pushed the offending fabric away. His chocolate orbs distant as his hands laid clasped in his lap.

With a defeated sigh, Donghae gave up trying to keep his hyung warm and opted to start a conversation.

“I see you dyed your hair again.”

“Mhmmm.”

“It looks good,” Donghae said looking to where Eunhyuk was currently staring at. He was sure though his hyung could pull off almost any haircolour.

“Thanks......”

“So...,” Donghae started sighing,” Why exactly are you out here?”

“Just thinking........I talked to Ryeowook-ah about my allergies actually.” Eunhyuk replied gaining Donghae's interest.

“And what did he say?”

“He....had trouble diagnosing my illness.” Eunhyuk said slowly, as if going any faster would cause Donghae to just get lost through his ramblings, “Kyuhyun was fortunate enough though to diagnose it for me though.”

“So, what did Doctor. Kyu say?” Opening his mouth, Eunhyuk just shook his platinum blonde hair. The colour making his skin even paler than before, if that was even possible. “Am I the cause for all of this?”

“Yup.”

“But you still put up with me?”

“Uh-huh.”

“You're crazy.”

Eunhyuk let a small smile grace his features, his palms growing clammier by the second.

“I knew you'd say that........”

“Can you really be allergic to a person?”

Eunhyuk blinked a few times taking in the question carefully as he stared down at his cup of hot cocoa. Eyes taking a cursory glance at Donghae, the blonde simply shrugged.

“Ugh, if anyone should know it should be you,” Donghae pouted in mild frustration. Ever since Eunhyuk admitted his ailment to him that winter morning Donghae couldn't help but wonder if it was true, or just a really long played-out joke. Taking a sip of his own hot chocolate, Donghae the remaining whipped cream on his upper lip as his gaze wandered towards the falling snow outside.

“Do you always have to stare at the snow?”

Blinking a few times, Donghae sent a warm smile towards Eunhyuk who could only twist his blonde head away.

“Why not? It's pretty to stare at.......”

“I'd rather stare at you.......” Eunhyuk muttured under his breath, but as the last word left his lips both his and Donghae's eyes widened. A bright red staining their cheeks as Eunhyuk scrambled to fix his mistake.
 

“Hyung.....what did you say?” The younger questioned setting his cup down.

“M-Me? I-It was nothing, hehehehe, nothing at all!” Sending a 'don't lie to me' stare, Eunhyuk felt himself fidget as he pulled the wool blanket closer to him. Or as close as he could get as his right hand was still holding the steaming mug of cocoa.

“Hyung-”

“W-What?! I didn't mean to say it,” Eunhyuk replied as his heart started to thump erratically inside his chest. After thirty seconds -but what felt like an eternity to Eunhyuk- of silence, Eunhyuk brought himself to stare towards Donghae.

“Hae......do you really think I'm allergic to you?”

“.......” Donghae opened and closed his mouth like a fish, unsure what to say. Staying silent, Eunhyuk considered it a sign to keep going.

“Because.....I'm not,” the blonde finally finished softly as he stared deeply into his cup.

“R-Really? Than what about those symptoms,” Donghae questioned a little taken back. Ever since Eunhyuk turned seventeen he'd claim to be allergic to Donghae. The male should have known better though since he didn't act all ill when he came near. Not even so much as a sneeze.

“I-I lied. It's because I couldn't- I couldn't tell you.......D-Donghae.....?”

“.......Yes Hyukkie?”

“I- I love you.”

As an awkward vibe filled the air, Donghae's eyes widened before his surprised expression slowly turned into that of a coy smile. The same one in which made Eunhyuk's heart beat erratically as he sat there dazed, and anxious as to what his dongsaeng would say.

“Hey Hyukkie?”

Eunhyuk inhaled deeply.

“Y-Yeah....?”

“I think I'm allergic to you too.”  

A/N: Annyeong everyone, really sorry for the late late update but so many assignments were due on the same day O_o. But I hope you've enjoyed this little Eunhae fic. Hyukkie was obviously naive about his love for Hae and mistook it as something else, oh how these two are so oblivious~

But thanks for subscribing and please comment~
