Melting Touch, Burning Lips | TaeGyu 🔥

Taehyun doesn't even know what made him say yes to accompanying Beomgyu to shopping of all things (it was the pout on the older's lips and his stupidly insistent nature clinging to Taehyun and whining adorably until the younger succumbed, but we're not gonna talk about that). He knows how his hyung gets when surrounded with clothes, he absolutely goes crazy. It's like setting a toddler down on a toy shop and telling them to get whatever the heck they want. He knows he'll be following the elder around like a puppy for hours, and by the time they end his limbs will ache with the amount of paper bags he's bound to carry (because he will take all of Beomgyu's shopping bags and he won't take no for an answer). He's perfectly aware of all of this, and yet he's here. Trying so hard to tamp down how his chest bloom with fondness at the way Beomgyu practically lightens up the whole store with his smile.

"Taehyunie, oh my god they've got so many good items, I wanna try all of them." Taehyun roles his eyes at those words, but the curl of his lips betrays him when Beomgyu starts hopping from rack to rack. From hoodies to denim jackets to jeans to shirts. Beomgyu can't even bear to stay in one place for even a minute, he looks like an excited butterfly fluttering above a flower garden.

"Not to burst your bubble hyung, but please don't actually try everything. We don't have the whole week to be here."

"Yeah yeah I know, but come on Tae live a little. You should look around and see if you like something, my treat." He grins at Taehyun behind a rack of oversized sweatshirts.

Taehyun shakes his head. "No thanks hyung, I'm good. Just get me coffee later."

The elder shrugs, "Okay sure, I'll get you anything you like later." He went back to rummaging through the racks and putting together an outfit, Taehyun just settled on standing behind the rack of hoodies where he can have a clear sight of where the elder was.

He stays there thinking of how they've been for the last couple of days. It had been midterms week and even his hyung, as energetic and outgoing as he was, had spent it holed up in the common music studio with the other music production majors. Barely getting out for food and only went back to their shared apartment to get some sleep when Taehyun quite literally dragged him out of the said studio. Taehyun himself had a rough time with editing his manuscript and proofreading it for the nth time until his eyes burned before submitting. It was an overall exhausting week and everyone was relieved that they're finally over it and have their well deserved rest for a while.

So maybe Taehyun has been worrying about his hyung the whole week and when he proposed the idea of going with him for shopping he said yes all for the reason that he'll finally see his hyung relax again, not rotting in the studio with dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep and refusing to go home until he's finally absolutely one hundred percent sure his output is nothing but exemplary.

Beomgyu had always worked hard, too hard sometimes that Taehyun aches for him. All he wanted to do was take care of him and remind him of how well he's been doing, of how proud Taehyun was to have him.

"Taehyun-ah..." He was startled out of his thoughts when the elder suddenly approached him. There's hesitation in the way his steps faltered and he's clutching hard on the articles of clothing in his hand. Even the way he said Taehyun's name was barely audible, almost like he didn't want Taehyun to hear.

But Taehyun heard him alright, and his heart skips a bit as he recognised that tone.

"Yes hyung?" He answered, reaching out a hand to pull Beomgyu closer until they're face to face. Beomgyu avoided his eyes for a whole minute before Taehyun gently coaxed him to meet his eyes with a hand on the chin. "Baby, what do you want?"

"I...can you go with me to the fitting room?" If Taehyun wasn't awfully close to Beomgyu right now he wouldn't have heard anything with how quietly his hyung said it. He's always like this, so shy and hesitant with his requests that Taehyun's chest fills up with the surge of possessiveness that he feels.
