Please Don't
Ephemeral
N POV~
When he woke up Leo was still holding him close. N smiled and snuggled against him. He could stay like this forever. This was the happiest he had been in the short time span of memory he had accumulated so far.
He took the ring out of his pants pocket slowly and pulls it off of the necklace. N looked the ring over and then looked at Leo, smiling more as he slipper it onto Leo's finger. It fit perfectly. N felt butterflies in his stomach. Everything feels so perfect here beside the dark haired man.
N laced his fingers with Leo's, holding his hand gently. He didn't want Leo to wake up. What if, when Leo woke up, he went back to angry, distant Leo? N wasn't sure he could handle that. He was pretty sure he was in love with Taekwoon.
Ravi POV~
Ken's drool had soaked Ravi's shirt and he seriously had to pee but he didn't want to move until his crush was awake. Ravi kept glancing toward the door, hoping Ken woke up soon so he wouldn't end up having to pee out the bedroom window out of desperation. The moisture from Ken's saliva on his chest wasn't helping.
"Unleash the bear-nami..." Ken muttered in his sleep and held onto Ravi tighter. "Wonshik... We need a bigger... bear juicer..." Ravi stared at Ken for a while, wondering what in the world went through this guy's mind. What in the heck was a bear-nami and what the hell was a bear juicer?
"Run it's a bear-nado!" Ken jerked awake so quickly and violently that Ravi fell off the bed.
"Calm down. You're okay." Ravi laughed as he sat up and rubbed the back of his head. Ken was a bundle of surprises.
"Oh. Sorry, Wonshik." Ken blushed and helped him off the floor. "My bad. I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's fine. I have to take piss anyway." Ravi shook his head, smiling and headed to the bedroom door. "Oh. Jaehwan... What is a bear-nami?"
"Crap..." Ken was blushing so badly he coverd his face with his pillow to hide it. "A tsunami made out of juiced bears instead of water..."
"You... Have one odd, deep seeded hatred for bears, Jaehwan." Ravi shook his head, laughing as he opened the door to go to the bathroom. Hongbin and Hyuk were already up and making out in the kitchen while they made breakfast.
Leo POV~
He woke up to N staring at him. Leo gave N a slow, loving smile and kissed his forehead. He didn't want to let the redhead go. And N wasn't trying to leave, which Leo took as a good sign.
"Goodmorning Hakyeon." Leo touched N's cheek gently and realized that he has a ring on his finger. N's father's ring. That filled his heart with joy. N still loved him.
"Morning Taekwoon." N was touching Leo's chest. The look of nervousness on his face upset Leo. How could he mistreat the love of his life so badly?
"Get dressed and I'll go make sure you have some food ready when you're done." Leo got up and looked N over for a moment before kissing him. "I love you..."
"I... I love you too..." N blushed as Leo left to go make breakfast. It felt great to hear those words from N again.
Ravi POV~
He saw Leo leave his room as he exited the bathroom. If he was ever going to talk to Leo now would be the time. He grabbed Leo by the wrist and pulled him into the apartment hallway, punching him as hard as he could in the face.
"What the hell?!" Leo pushed him away but, despite the murderous look on his face, refrained from hitting him back.
"I told you not to hurt Hakyeon!" Ravi kept his hands balled into tight fists, prepared to hit his friend again. "Then I find him crying in the hallway! Just stop! Stop hurting him! He deserves better!"
"I know he does..." Leo didn't look at Ravi. He sounded sad and almost in pain. "I've been aweful to him for so long... But things will be different now... I'll be the man he deserves..." Ravi noticed Leo playing with something on his finger and took a moment before he realized it for what it was, the ring. N had already fallen for Leo again. It was inevitable.
"Fine. But if you hurt him again he's mine." Ravi sighed and went back into the apartment.
Leo POV~
He had no intention of hurting his Hakyeon again. But Ravi's words stung. He knew his love deserved better. He had always known that. But what could he do? He couldn't change the past. He could only change his attitude for the future.
He walked back into the apartment to see Ravi sitting between Ken and his Hakyeon. Ken was babbling on about some random 'bear-saster' and a 'bear-tastrophe' while Ravi and N listened intently. Hongbin was sitting on Hyuk's lap in his mutilated chair as Hyuk fed him breakfast.
N POV~
Leo came over and sat on the floor in front of him, leaning his head on N's knee. Leo looked oddly vulnerable and one of his cheeks looked puffy. The sight hurt N's heart to see. He leaned forward and touched Leo's hair gently but then pulled him into a hug.
"Want breakfast?" N questioeds, holding onto Leo gently. Leo didn't even try to fight him off.
"I'm okay." Leo smiled at N and it melted N's heart. That smile was so rare and precious. It was the most amazing thing N was sure he would ever see.
"Get off my boyfriend." Ravi growled and pulled N gently away from Leo. "Get your own." N had forgotten that he was in a fake relationship with Ravi.
"Fine..." Leo stood, giving Ravi the scariest look N had ever seen. "Maybe I will." N's mind went blank. Did Leo just say he wasn't going to be with N anymore? N heard a buzzing sound in his ears as Leo went over to Ken and pulled him into a hard kiss.
N had to be seeing things. He had to be. He heard Ken screetch and run out of the room and Ravi cursing at Leo. No. It was real. N calmly got up and went to his room. He was just going back to sleep. Today didn't seem as bright as it did when he woke up.
On his way past the bathroom door for his own room he saw Ken rinsing out his mouth with so much mouthwash his cheeks were puffed out. N was surprised Ken wasn't drowning.
