It Was A Roller Coaster Ride: Ending (Part 3): XiuChen

There were lots of things in life that happen for a reason, but Xiumin would beg to differ about meeting Chen.

They're back from their walk along the beach and Chen still hasn't let go of Xiumin's hand. They've checked up on Sehun and Luhan in their hotel room and it's just about time for the two of them to return to theirs.

Chen finally let goes of Xiumin's hands, slightly feeling clammy, Xiumin wipes his hands on his shorts and he starts to walk to the bathroom.

"I'll wash up first." He informs as he takes a change of clothes and a clean towel.

"Yeah. Or we go together?"

Xiumin's face stays stoic and he rolls his eyes before saying a confident "No." before he shuts the door behind him, making sure it's locked.

Smiling to himself, Chen just walks to the bed and lies there until Xiumin finishes, only looking up the ceiling and playing different possible scenarios that could happen to them tonight.

Minutes pass and Xiumin exits the bathroom with a towel over his head and he's already dressed in a plain white tee, and baggy tracksuit bottoms.

Chen watches him as he bends over the cabinet by the T.V. and he reaches for the hair dryer. "It's your turn." He says to Chen and he could only nod as a reply, trying to pry his eyes away from Xiumin's wet and shaggy hair.

He shuts himself in the shower, taking longer than usual. Chen stays there, the warm water harshly falling on his skin.

Since a while ago, Chen was too immersed in looking at Xiumin, he had forgotten to both grab a towel and a new set of clothes to change in.

He peeks his head by the door and sees Xiumin on the bed, reading some brochure about Jeju Island.

"Psst!" He calls him, still behind the door.

Xiumin looks up to meet his eyes and he arches his brows. "What?"

"Can you pass me a towel?"

Xiumin stifles a laugh and keeps his face straight. "Let me think about it," Rather than continuing what he said, Xiumin rolls on his back on the bed and continues ready the phamplet.

"Yah! If you don't, I'll just run out of there and let me just remind you that I'm ."

Xiumin's body stiffens but because of his ego, he doesn't budge an inch.

"Fine. You asked for it."

Chen takes one of his legs out of the door and Xiumin's eyes widen. He jumps from his position, grabbing a towel and spreading it. Chen on the other hand just continued on walking out.

Closing his eyes shut, Xiumin also runs to Chen, the towel in front of his hands and before he knows it, they're both down the ground, Xiumin on top.

It's fortunate that Xiumin had hugged Chen, covering his with the reasonably sized towel, hiding his 'things' and 'contents'.

Chen laughs from their position and Xiumin can feel Chen's slightly wet arms wrapping around his shoulders.

Xiumin let goes of the corners of the towel and he pries himself away from Chen and stands up awkwardly, avoiding his gaze as his cheeks burn a bright color of red.

"J-just put some c-clothes on." He stammers and Chen just laughs.

"You're so cute when you're flustered." Chen is suddenly next to Xiumin, pinching his cheeks and Chen sneaks a peck on his cheeks before he walks to his luggage, rummaging for some clothes.

Xiumin just slowly walks back on the bed and he plops on his stomach, wanting to bury his face away from everything.

It was enough that he knew about Chen's feelings towards his but the fact that they're in a hotel, alone, with only a king sized bed to share, things could turn out different from what Xiumin had expected in a business get away.

He couldn't really get away since he was with his boss.

"Hey, can you dry my hair for me?" Chen tosses Xiumin the hairdryer which he almost did not catch. "Please."

Instead of arguing, Xiumin pats the place beside him, signalling for Chen to sit and he gets on his knees enough to see the top of Chen's head and he turns on the hair dryer and starts on his hair.

After finishing, Chen's head immediately plops down by Xiumin's lap, pretending to be asleep. Xiumin falls for the act and he raises his hands to feel Chen's soft and long lashes.

Chen smiles softly at the touch and he immediately opens his eyes and before Xiumin could retract away, Chen grabs hold of the back of his neck, pulling him in for an upside down kiss.

They end it quickly and Xiumin bites on his lips, blushing a tinge of pink. "C-can you stop it." He whispers shyly.

"I can't help it though." Chen playfully smirks as he sit up, shuffling next to Xiumin on the bed.

"I cannot share a bed with you, preverted monster."

When Xiumin was about to abruptly leave, Chen holds his wrists down, making him sit again. "No, sleep here."

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"Here as well."

"No."

Xiumin's about to leave again until Chen holds him back again. "Come on, I won't do anything. Promise. I'll even put a barrier between us." Chen picks up the pillows and lines them up on the bed , making a divider.

"Alright, but if you dare move an inch, I will push you to the ground and let you sleep there."

An innocent smile flash across Chen's face as he settles down the bed. They still share the same duvet, but there's still the obvious barrier that Chen had constructed.

They turn off their lights, readying to sleep and soon, they drift into dreamland.

Minutes passed and to the both of them, it's unknown but Xiumin unconsciously destroy the barriers, clinging more to the covers and scooting closer and closer to Chen, who turns to his side, facing the sleeping Xiumin.

Time passes more and Xiumin's arms is already wrapped around Chen's and Chen does the same automatically. Xiumin snuggled his head by Chen's chest, hearing his constant heart beat and Chen unconsciously kiss the top of his forehead.

They interlock their fingers together, much more comfortable in contact with each other when both are asleep.

Xiumin wakes up as he feels the warm breaths on his skin and instead of pushing Chen away, his heart jumps a bit, seeing Chen's calm sleeping face.

He does the unexpected and hugs him tighter, feeling absolutely secure in his arms.

Xiumin is still confused with all these happening. He knows that him and Chen will never work out. Boss and employee, the rich and the poor, they never work out.

There's always some stupid thing going to be separating them and that's a risk Xiumin cannot take. He cannot fall for this idiot of a boss since things will surely end up bad or the road to that will be more than a rocky road.

Chen doesn't quite understand those though, all he knows that he liked Xiumin to some certain extent that he's acting all close and teasing to Xiumin but he doesn't really know of things that could happen in the future if ever they decide to be together.

Chen wakes up this time, feeling a bit stuffy. He only sees Xiumin's head resting on his chest and he automatically calms and his heart skips beats.

Chen lets his fingers wander and get lost in Xiumin's hair as he slightly tips his head back, allowing himself to get a better look of Xiumin's sleeping face.

He plants a kiss on his forehead, then to the tip of his nose and down to his lips.

Chen places him back and returns him to his side, before rebuilding the barrier again. He was afraid that Xiumin will wake up like that and start on beating Chen up for being such a 'ert'.

Chen didn't really need to do that since he already knew that he was cuddling with Chen and he himself was more than happy to snuggle up closer to him but the fact that Chen bothered to put Xiumin back as well as the barrier, he can sense that Chen is actually respecting him.

As soon as Chen finishes rebuilding the barrier, Xiumin opens his eyes as he was still awake when Chen woke up. "You didn't have to do that." He says groggily.

Chen is surprised as he jumps a bit but not too much that it's noticeable.

Xiumin sits up from his side of the bed and starts tossing the pillow barrier, breaking it again.

"We'll sleep like this tonight." He says, still feeling sleepy but he crawls closer to Chen, who's too taken aback by Xiumin's actions as he rests his head on Chen's chest and as if they don't hate each other, Xiumin playfully and subconsciously traces his fingers on Chen's chest.

"Can I kiss you again?" Chen asks.

And Xiumin gives up for tonight, completely. "Fine, but just once."

Chen grins as he pulls up the half-asleep Xiumin and he latches his lips on to his, biting it softly and slyly slipping his tongue in.

Although Xiumin is sleepy, he still has energy to respond.

"One more time?"

"Alright but it's the last, okay."

Chen nods and he does it again; they kiss again.

During the whole night, Xiumin had probably let Chen kiss him for more than once and twice and even thrice, as he kept on letting Chen continue their kiss, going deeper and lustier.
