Tears Are Also Love
The Forsaken LoverConvincing lies.
Chanyeol clumsily opens the door to their apartment. Our apartment, huh? He chuckles bitterly in his head. He still can't believe what he saw a while ago. Kris kissed baekhyun's cheek. His boy friend kissed his best friend's cheek. Two of the most important people in my life are betraying me. Oh my--
"Yeol? Are you home?" His lover's voice booms around the apartment. His heart beats quickens and his breath becomes shallow just by hearing that voice. He's home already? How long have I been crying? He can feel his heart almost leaving his chest. He's here. Dear God.
"Y-yeah." He manages to croak out. His voice sounds husky and his throat is dry.
He hears shuffling sounds from the kitchen, is he cooking? Chanyeol's mind is in a mess. He couldn't think straight. Kris can't cook, so obviously that's a no, but Chanyeol can't even comprehend that. "Where were you Ye--"
Chanyeol looks up, curious as to why Kris stopped talking. He sees his lover staring at him, then he remembers his bloodshot eyes and soaked clothes. Well, it was raining when he walked home then it stopped midway to his apartment. He really can't give a damn about it right now. Kris immediately rushes up against his side, fussing about why are you so wet, where were you and I was worried.
His Kris is back. Chanyeol smiles, "I-I was with my friend, we watched a movie hyung. A sad movie." He can't help it, he lied.
"A sad one? But you don't cry for movies, Yeol. You hate crying because of dramas." Kris says. Hyung knows me too well. Chanyeol smiles softly.
"I don't, but my friend forced me." Kyungsoo forced me to follow you. "He pointed out what I needed to focus in." He showed me what's really happening. "H-hyung, it was so sad." Chanyeol's voice cracks, sadness overflowing from his presence.
Kris decides to accompany his lover to the bathroom, and washes him up while Chanyeol is telling him the story. "T-there was this girl that had everything she wanted. She was happy. Her bestfriend is there, her family is there, and even her lover was there for her. She thought h-she had it all." He pauses, thinking of how to continue his story.
"Then? What happened?" Kris urges his lover to continue, all the while scrubbing and cleaning Chanyeol thoroughly because how the did he manage to accumulate all this dirt? (Chanyeol tripped and was too lazy to stand up while raining.)
"She saw her lover with another woman. He was cheating on her hyung." Chanyeol's voice wavers. "B-but the worst part of it all, he was cheating on her with her bestfriend." Chanyeol emphasize the last statement as he finishes telling the story, eyes focused on Kris' frozen form. "H-hyung?"
Kris snaps back to reality. Damnit! It was a movie. Right, Chanyeol watched a damn movie. He wasn't talking about us. Right. "What movie is that?" He says gently but came out rather harshly to Chanyeol's ears.
"I can't remember, hyung. I was too sad to even remember it." Chanyeol whispers, I wasn't aware I needed a title for my story.
"Let's just rest okay?" Kris sees how tired Chanyeol is. He dresses up his lover and dries his giant's hair. He smiles softly. Kris misses this kind of moments. The part where Chanyeol lets Kris baby him. To be honest, Kris likes it this way. Not the other way around. It's not that he dislikes being taken care of, but he couldn't feel dominant when he is not the one babying his lover.
Kris picks up Chanyeol and places him gently on the bed, before curling up beside him. He sees tears in Chanyeol's cheeks. So he kisses them softly, placing butterfly kisses on his lover's cheeks. "Don't think about it, Yeol. It's just a movie. It isn't real. Don't cry."
It's just a movie. It isn't real.
Chanyeol looks up to Kris, his eyes watering in sadness and his lips trembles with the though
