Donghae put his arms gently around Hyuk's warm sleeping body in the bed next to him. The boy was exhausted, his muscles weak and limbs limp as he lay in Hae's arms with his eyes shut tight. Hae hugged the sleeping figure tighter, kissing his cheek and whispering into his ear. "I love you Hyukkie, I always have and I always will." He did this every night, whispering the words that he would never be brave enough to say to the boy when he was awake.

What he didn't know was that this time Eunhyuk was awake, and had heard every word Hae had said.
