Tao found himself fiddling with his phone, still unable to fully accept what was happening. I was the first time Kris had ever, ever held out a hand for him.  He’d always been the one who would reach out for Kris, so him being able to single-handedly sabotage his not-so-awaited wedding made his heart leap from out of his mouth and unto the farther place he could think of.

        “Are you… alright?” Kris managed to say as he drove off. Tao couldn’t make out where they were going, but judging by the amount of fields and plantation, they had reached far into the countryside.

        “Y-yeah, I’m good.” Tao couldn’t help but smile to himself. He was a bit to happy that this was actually happening, turning his head to towards the window as to shield his happiness from Kris’ eyesight.

        “Why are you smiling like that?” Tao was surprised he could see him. He hadn’t realized his face was practically being broadcasted through the reflection of the window.

        “I’m just… happy?” he paused to think why he was happy. He couldn’t find the words to describe it but he was happy. Happy enough for his smile not to disappear.

        He was waiting for Kris to ask another question, something along the lines of what is there to be happy about.

        But it never came. Instead, Kris leaned his free arm towards the car door and covered the lower half of his face, managing to mumble you’re stupid.

        Tao knew that if Kris called him stupid, he was embarrassed of something. Tao was looking intently at the boy who was still covering the area from his nose down to his chin.

        He might have been wrong, but he saw that his ears were slowly turning red.

        Tao, after seeing the boy go red, felt incredibly satisfied with himself. He had turned back to looking at the unending road, a smile still wide on his face. “I love you.” He said loudly.

        This had caught Kris off guard, judging by the sudden swerve of the car. “W-what are you saying?!” Kris said as he slammed against the brakes.

        Tao blinked fast, looking at the even redder boy. “H-how can you say that out loud? I-Isn’t it weird? I-I mean, n-no one ever says t-they like a-a person out loud… right?” Kris bit his lip, acting like he had something stupid.

        Tao unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to the blushing boy, a smile still plastered on his face. “It’s not weird.” He made sure he looked serious. “I actually like saying it out loud. I love you.”

        Tao was enjoying this. Three words and Kris was squirming in his seat. He was covering his face with both of this hands, avoiding any eye contact with Tao.

        “B-but… I-I’m horrible.” Kris said as he slowly put down his hands, eyes filled with sorrow. “I treat you like yet you still take care of me.” He took a deep breath. “When I heard your dad say you were getting married, it never actually donned to me that I was jealous. Like how I never really cared when you got a girlfriend, and when I got a girlfriend.” Tao could hear the shiver in Kris’ voice.

        Suddenly, Kris turned to Tao, face no longer blushing. “Marriage is a scary thing, right? When I realized that I was totally going to lose you…” he had awkwardly shifted in his seat, now looking directly into Tao’s eyes. “I couldn’t stand for it. L-Like, it was the first time I was actually mad that a girl was going to take you away from me.”

        Tao swallowed. He didn’t think that Kris would come out with this kind of conversation, let alone start it. Tao couldn’t find the words to say to Kris so he had just let Kris’ do the rest of the talking.

        “I was jealous. And I thought about it hard and I… love you too.”

        Tao could literally feel his heart drop. Kris had said it in, making the most adorable face he could ever make. Tao really wanted to jump Kris, but he knew this wasn’t the time for it. “K-Kris…” he didn’t know what to say. All he knew is that this “thing” was mutual now. All he could do was smile, the most genuine smile he had ever made.

        This is embarrassing, Tao thought to himself. He bowed his head, trying to find something to say to break the silence. “Tao?” when he had heard Kris’ voice, he immediately looked up.

        When he put his head up, something happened that he never thought he’d ever get to experience in his lifetime. Kris was crashing his lips against his, an arm leaning against the door on Tao’s side.

        Kris was practically begging for entry, and Tao had let him. For several minutes they sat there, tongues wrestling as their lips crashed over and over again.

        Kris probably forgot that Tao needed air, now pushing Tao against the car door. Tao could feel Kris’ hand going up his dress shirt and Tao just couldn’t help but let out a small moan.

        “Kris…” he said through the kiss. Kris was going all out, making sure this kiss lasted for a long time. He had let Tao breathe from time to time, kissing his neck and coming back to his mouth when he lusted for more.

        Tao felt like he was on cloud nine. He knew about stuff like this, and frankly, he wasn’t prepared. But it was Kris, Kris. He didn’t care if whatever they were (probably) about to do was going to ing hurt like a .

        All he wanted was Kris in his arms, calling out his name.

        “So, you think they’ve done it yet?” Luhan said as he chewed on a lollipop. They had all gathered in Chanyeol’s ing big house as Baekhyun described it. It was his first time in Chanyeol’s house and it was probably twice the size of Luhan’s and Tao’s.

        “Probably.” Jongin shrugged. “It’s 7 PM. Knowing Kris, he’d have drove off to some unknown land that is abundant in plantation.” He added as he was owning Chanyeol in Mario Kart.

        Baekhyun sat at the edge of Chanyeol’s bed, constantly throwing him looks of disapproval. They were acting as if nothing had happened. He couldn’t help but smile though, they all looked ridiculous, lounging around Chanyeol’s room in their color choice of slacks and dress shirts.

        “I beat you, AGAIN!” Jongin said as he slammed the controller to the carpeted floor. “Damn, I always win when I’m in your house.” Chanyeol was leaning against the bed frame, right beside where Baekhyun’s feet dangled.

        He was mumbling words to himself like you got lucky and other stuff that was obviously not true.

        This went on for the rest of the night. Chanyeol offered that they sleep there, saying that it’s too dark for them to go home. (He obviously wanted another round with Jongin in Mario, his face was full of adrenaline.)

        “Alright, I’ll call up my parents.” Baekhyun said as he hopped off the bed bringing out his phone and disappearing into the hallway.

        When Baekhyun had come back, they were all intently looking at the television. “Go Chanyeol! Go, go, go!” Sehun was already at the edge of his seat, shouting and cheering for the boy he had earlier despised.

        He was sitting beside Luhan, who was highly uninterested in what was happening. “God damn it, you’re loud. Stop shouting.” Luhan kicked Sehun off the sofa, sending a small whimper from the younger boy.

        Baekhyun felt a warm feeling wash over him. He couldn’t help but feel like this had become his home. A bit too loud but it’ll do.

       Before they realized it, it was quarter to 1 AM. Sehun had fallen asleep on Luhan’s shoulder. Baekhyun turned to the two and could see a smile across Luhan’s face as he looked at the contents of his phone.

        He kind of felt jealous of the affection the two were showing. Well, Sehun obviously did it unconsciously, since he was practically scared of Luhan. He turned to Chanyeol, who was still shouting at the TV, like he’d actually go faster if he shouted it out physically. The second player had changed to Yixing, since Jongin no longer found beating Chanyeol interesting. He had hopped unto the bed and closed his eyes.

        It was now 1 AM and there was a knock on the door. They all turned their attention to the person who had opened it and saw Tao and Kris, bruises on their forearms.

        “What happened to you guys? too rough?” Yixxing joked.

        The two had reacted in a way that had said yeah which made Yixing’s eyes grow big. “You really got those bruises from having rough ?”

        “Stop saying it like that!” Kris was turning red, fingers massaging his eyelids. “We were just… doing it and the car door opened and we fell out.”

        A few seconds of silence and Luhan, Yixing, Chanyeol and the now awake Jongin burst into laughter.

        Tao could feel heat rise up to his cheeks as he rubbed the aching part of his arms. “It was your fault.” He whispered to Kris as he entered the room and jumped on the bed. He had landed across Jongin’s body, making Jongin say a small ‘ouch.’

        Kris shrugged and sat beside the asleep Sehun, acting as if nothing happened.

        Baekhyun couldn’t believe that even after the amount of events that happened today, or uh, yesterday, they could all act like nothing had happened. He shrugged this off, it was probably a rich kid thing.
