Embrace

Don't Forget Me

A/N: I know there are more mistakes than usual, forgive me. But I was watching ice hockey while I was translating, so I was a bit inattentive. (And we have lost with Swiss AGAIN.) Okay, I know you're not interested in czech national team :D. So let's read and please, be tolerant. I hope you will like it :)

 

At the moment they close the door behind them, Yesung grabs Wookie, crushing him in his arms. At first, Ryeowook gives a squeal of surprise, but he quickly realizes there is no danger. He raises his hands timidly, hugging Yesung’s waist. He hides his face in Yesung’s chest, sniffing his scent. His body calms down. Yesung’s embrace isn’t uncomfortable anymore. No more.

“Now you’re mine. And I won’t give you to anybody else,” Yesung whispers, placing a soft kiss on his forehead. He feels as if he just won the most precious thing in the world. No, he is not a thing. He is the most precious person in the world. His joy makes him press the boy a bit tighter. Now, they can stay together as he has promised. Nobody will take the boy away. He can protect him. He can be here for him.

“I like you so much, Wookie.” Another kiss on his forehead. He is sure that if he holds him a bit tighter, he would break him. The boy in his arm almost cannot breathe, but he would do anything to stay like this. His tiny fingers squeeze fabric of Yesung’s shirt. Slight smile appears on his lips.

“I...” he begins quietly, he doesn’t know if he is supposed to say it. A touch of fear is still hiding in his heart. He is afraid that he would do something wrong, he is afraid he would destroy it... He is afraid of saying something bad. He doesn’t want to make Yesung angry. What if he didn’t want him anymore? He doesn’t want to tell him goodbye. Not now, when they can finally stay together. But... No. He shakes his head, chasing these thoughts away. Yesung has never got angry. He has never yelled at him. He has never hit him. He has never told him he doesn’t want to be with him. Never.

“I like you, too,” he sighs so quietly that his voice almost loses in Yesung’s shirt. Older man freezes and his eyes widen. Has he really heard what he has just heard? He pulls away immediately. Ryeowook gets scared. Wasn’t he supposed to say it...? 

“What?” he asks disbelievingly. Ryeowook is not able to answer. Yesung’s reaction scared him. It takes just a moment before Yesung realize that simple fact – there is a fear in Wookie’s eyes again. But... That sentence... Has he really said it...?

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to scare you. I’m sorry.” He raises his hand, Wookie’s face as softly as it is possible. Then, he kisses his hair with the same tenderness.

“I’m so happy, Wookie. I’m so happy I can be with you.”

Ryeowook can see something in his eyes that he doesn’t understand. Even Yesung doesn’t know it’s there. Because it shouldn’t be there.

“And I can be with you,” he whispers, smiling enchantingly. The fear is gone again. Yesung’s heart skips a beat. But he doesn’t almost notice it. He is happy. He really is happy. And Wookie... His little Wookie seems happy too. Finally there is no fear in his eyes. There are just shining sparkles of joy. Maybe the fear is still there, but it is shaded with a joy and happiness.

“Come here,” he smiles, grabbing him again. He will be never fed up with these feelings that he feels when he can hug him. He feels his warm, his heartbeat, his hot breath on his own chest... He means so much to him.

Wookie enjoys this warm embrace. It feels so good. He is protected from everything. When he is with him, he is not afraid of anything. And he feels so satisfied. He feels...so happy. He didn’t even hope to feel happiness again. His eyes find older man again.

“Can I like you?” he asks fearfully. He is not still sure. Yesung’s reaction was too scary. But now Yesung just smiles and nods.

“You can. Of course you can.” His lips find Wookie’s hair again; his hand still boy’s cheek.

“You can do everything you want,” he whispers and he is deadly serious. He would do anything just for one his smile. His arms are still holding Wookie’s body. He doesn’t want to release him. He is happy Wookie doesn’t feel uncomfortable in his embrace. It was small miracle that he got his trust. And he mustn’t betray it. Never. He will be everything Wookie will need – his friend, protector, family.

Wookie enjoys every single touch. If somebody tried to touch him like this, he would go insane. But Yesung... He trusts him. He trusts his words, his smile, his eyes. He trusts everything Yesung gives him.

“Thank you,” he whispers.

Yesung cannot hide his surprise. That boy amazes him more and more today. But he doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t move. He just stands there, hugging that tiny body. No words are necessary. They are together and that’s enough.

The silence is interrupted by a sound of Yesung’s mobile phone which makes them both jump. Yesung release Wookie, coursing person who has just destroyed this magic moment. He quickly finds his mobile in his pocket.

“Hello?” he asks gruffly without looking at the name.

“Why are you so grumpy? I thought you were happy. What happened?” Siwon’s cheerful voice asks.

“You’re disturbing,” Yesung answers without thinking.

“Really?” Siwon laughs.

“What have you wanted?” he asks a bit nicer, smiling at Wookie who is quietly looking at him.

“I just thought we should celebrate it. Heechul told me there’s a fair in the town today and he wants to go there. Do you want to join us?”

Yesung almost agrees but then he remembers Wookie.

“I don’t know if it’s a good idea. You know... There will be a lot of people,” he answers slowly.

“Oh, it didn’t cross my mind,” Siwon says apologetically. He liked that idea so much that he forgot.

“Maybe later, okay?”

“Yeah, maybe. So...you can continue,” he laughs. “See ya.”

“See ya. And enjoy it with Heechul,” Yesung says his goodbye, hanging up.

Wookie blinks quizzically. He doesn’t ask. He is not still sure if he can, despite Yesung’s today’s words.

“Siwon,” he explains. “That guy we’ve met today.”

Wookie nods to show he remembers him.

“He wanted us to go with him and with his boyfriend to a fair in the town.”

Wookie blinks.

“Fair?” Does he mean...the funfair? Carousels, roller coasters and cotton candy? He has seen it in some movie. And he liked it. So many colors and lights...

Yesung cannot overlook the enthusiasm in Wookie’s eyes.

“You want to go there? There will be many people. Won’t you be afraid?” Yesung asks. Wookie bites his lip. People. They will be there. And there will be many of them. But...he loves that possibility he could see it. That was so beautiful in TV. He hesitates. It is so tempting. He doesn’t know if he wants to go.

Yesung watches his indecisive face. He can see Wookie really wants to go there. But he can see a fear as well. He doesn’t think it’s a good idea. However, he will let Wookie decide. The boy is lost in his thoughts for a few next moments, but at the end he slightly nods. After all... Yesung will be there with him. He will protect him. He won’t let anybody to hurt him. He said it. He won’t leave him. Never. He promised it. And Wookie trusts him. Ryeowook smiles brightly and childly in his own cute way. He nods again. Yesung has to laugh when he sees his brave expression. Just for a moment he can see his little brother in this boy. He had the same shining eyes. Yesung raises his hand, ruffling his hair. Wookie just chuckles.

“Alright, I just have to change my clothes. Then we will eat some snack and after that we can go.”

He boy’s cheek for the last time, turning and heading to his room. He quickly takes off his suit, putting on ordinary trousers and singlet. He takes a jacket from a wardrobe – evenings are quite cold – and he also takes one more for Wookie.

He almost runs to the kitchen. Wookie is waiting there for him, smiling. He will prepare some small snack, he’s is sure they both will overeat later, so they don’t have to eat much now. But before he will do it, he has to do one more thing. He takes him mobile phone.

“Siwon?” he says after few seconds. “We’ll join you.”

Chapter 36: There doesn't always have to be a happy end cause it's not true in life. Do well in your university studies and congrats on being accepted to the one you wanted. But I will take the pretend open ended ending cause realities knows you dropped enough hints about future angst -Shim's mental institution low-security placement, Jijin telling Sung to be careful of his feelings and the fact that Sung hugs, kisses, pets Wookie in public and there is an OBVIOUS age difference. Plus the title of your story conjures hidden literal angst for Yewook. Enjoy school and be persistent in study time.....please author-nim take time to have fun.

Chapter 7: English to use in future fics, 'when your hungry' - his stomach gurgled at the mention of food - he tried to ignore the rumbles of hunger escaping his belly - the little boy's tummy growled in appreciation for his ice cream, causing the adults to chuckle - he grimaced at the loud noises his middle made, as he realized he'd worked his twelve hour shift in triage without eating, again -. Thought writing sentences might make it more understandable. Oh, and we say this - he placed the files 'in' the drawer - *instead of saying* - he placed the files ' to' a drawer -. I noticed that you use - to a - *or* - to the - . They are correction terms but syntax structure isn't true to English conversation or writing. But author-nim, your story is great and you've got such a really good flow to your story that I just gloss over errors cause I get what you want toconvey. (~.~)

if chapter 33 was the ending, so the title wont be 'dont forget me' cause no one is left and nothing to be forget..
yesung and wookie are staying together.. so i guess the title isnt suitable anymore.
