262 🩺 He's Shit At Acting, And I'm Shit At Titles

A/N: Still fucking dictating. I hate this. Never doing it again. Ever.

The moment Hongjoong laid eyes on Seonghwa in the West Wing, he burst out laughing.

Seeing those teary, red eyes, Hongjoong hurried across the distance between them and took his head in his hands.

'Oh my God, Hwa! I didn't think you'd actually do it! What is it?' Hongjoong asked, staring up into those red irritated eyes, wiping away his tears in the corner of his nose with his sleeve.

And Seonghwa laughed. 'Exactly what I told you it was going to be! Vicks! Baby chest rub.' He pulled out the small blue bottle from his pocket and held it up in his palm, presenting it to him. 'It said gentle on the skin!' he said with a pout, making Hongjoong laugh even more.

'Yeah, on the chest! Where it's supposed to go! Not in the eyes, genius!' He giggled, wiping away more tears and reaching onto his tippy toes to kiss each of his eyelids. 'Nawww, my poor baby. You must have really missed me. The lengths that he will go to to see me,' he cooed.

But Seonghwa's eyes suddenly widened. 'Ya!' he gasped, looking around anxiously. 'Someone will hear!' he scolded.

Hongjoong just laughed. Linking his arm in his, he started dragging him towards the carpark. 'The faster we get to the car and go home, the faster you can wash your eyes,' he said, trying not to giggle at him. 'I can't believe you actually did it.'

Seonghwa gasped, feigning disbelief. 'I have to make it look realistic!' he countered. 'I'm a shitty actor!'

'Yeah but you could have said anything,' Hongjoong said, rolling his eyes as they made it to the car.

'I'm a terrible liar.'

Hongjoong smirked. 'Okay babe. Whatever you say.' Opening the door for him and letting him sit in the passenger seat, he stood for a moment beside him, reaching over and trailing the back of his fingers down his cheek. It caught Seonghwa's attention, who looked up with red, watery eyes innocently. 'Poor thing,' he whispered.

And Seonghwa suddenly reached up and put his hands over his, squeezing tightly. 'Not even nearly. I'm the happiest man in the world right now.'

Hongjoong melted. 'Why's that?'

Seonghwa turned his head to the side and kissed the inside of his wrist, smiling gently against his skin. 'Because I've been dying to spend more than a night or afternoon here and there with you, and I'm finally going to have you to myself.'

And Hongjoong's heart soared. 'You're too sweet for your own good,' he whispered, more to himself than anything. Ducking into the car, he gave him a peck on the lips, melting under his warmth, before brushing his cheek one last time.

'Come on babe. Let's get you home so we can wash your eyes.'
