hot and cold - nct, jaedo

♨ 15 ❄

"keep the pressure on your nose." sicheng said, making sure his best friend kept the bloody tissue on his nose.

"i don't want to hear your voice!" doyoung mumbled with difficulty because of the pain.

long story short, participating in the p.e. class wasn't a good idea.

they were playing handball.

and of course, his team had chosen to have him as the goal because they knew he didn't know sit about dribbles, passes, and ball games in general.

and so, he had received a handball ball at full speed in the nose.

and the worse part was that he hadn't even stopped the ball. the shock made him fall backwards, making the ball enter inside the cage, and offering a point to the opposite team.

"we're almost there." jaehyun reassured the boy he was carrying bridal style as he speeded his way to the infirmary.

once they entered the place, jaehyun settled doyoung on one of the beds, catching the attention of the nurse.

"what happened to him?" she asked worriedly.

"he received a handball ball in the face." yuta explained – him and sicheng had been following jaehyun and doyoung all the way from the gymnasium.

"let me see."

the nurse pulled the bloody tissue away, placing her fingers on both sides of doyoung's nose and pinching it lightly.

"ouch!" doyoung let out.

jaehyun reacted immediately.

he pulled the nurse's hand away, tightening his grip on her forearm.

"you're hurting him! be careful!" jaehyun spat.

"i'm a nurse, i need to touch to see if it's broken!" she replied on the same tone.

"yeah, and i'm the heir to the throne, so be careful when you're talking to me."

the nurse rolled her eyes. "look, if you want me to heal him, i need to find out if his nose is broken or not. and to do that, i have to touch it."

jaehyun freed the nurse's hand and allowed her to examinate doyoung's nose.

with the few touches the nurse gave to doyoung's nose, the human let out some cries of pain, making jaehyun flinch and glare at the nurse each time.

after a few minutes, she was done checking doyoung's nose.

she turned around to the three other students in the room.

"it's not broken, but i need to keep him here for a while to give him eveyrhting he'll need." she said. "you can go back to class in the meantime."

"go." jaehyun told sicheng and yuta. "i'm staying with him."

judging by the tone the demon heir used, both sicheng and yuta understood that there was no way he would change his mind.

the two boys nodded before leaving the infirmary and going back to the gymnasium.

"jaehyun seems to be very protective of doyoung." sicheng noticed.

"yeah. he's also very dominant and possessive towards him." yuta added.

sicheng nodded. "he looks like he's whipped."

yuta stopped walking abruptly, catching sicheng's attention.

"he looks like he's whipped?" yuta asked with a brow raised. "boy, something is wrong with you. jaehyun is head over heels for your best friend! and even blind people can see it."

sicheng smirked.

his plan had worked perfectly.

and now he could pass to the second stage: telling yuta about doyoung's feelings.

"i just wanted to make sure." sicheng replied. "but just so that you know, doyoung is whipped for jaehyun as well." he added, starting to walk away.

"wait a second!" yuta exclaimed, pulling onto sicheng's arm and making him turn around to face him. "doyoung likes him back?!"

"he does. a whole lot."

yuta squealed like a teenaged girl, eventually jumping around sicheng in joy.

after his little show was done, the demon faced sicheng again, and in a burst of joy, pulled the boy's face closer by placing his hands on his neck.

this caused their foreheads to bump, but yuta was too overjoyed to care.

"you don't realise what this means, do you?" yuta asked. "the two realms will eventually get reunited! no more taboos on humans or demons! just one big realm where everyone is happy!"

sicheng smiled seeing how overjoyed yuta was.

his cheeks were crimson red due to their close proximity, but he didn't pay much attention to it. this is what happens when you're this close to a hot boy – whose body is radiating lots of heat too.

"and that's what you want. a reunion of the two realms." sicheng spoke.

"it will be better this way. trust me." yuta nodded.

"how could it be better?" sicheng raised a brow.

"well..." yuta smirked, his eyes glancing for a quick second at sicheng's lips before looking back into his eyes. "i could see your pretty face everyday without being scared to get scolded."

sicheng might me a confident gay, this sentence made him weak in the knee and allowed a bright red blush to spread on his face.

yuta chuckled as the human got out of his embrace, too embarrassed by what the other had just say.

"come on." yuta spoke again, once his laugher had died. "let's go back to class." he added before walking across the corridor to go back to the gymnasium.

sicheng stayed glued on his spot for a while, feeling the warmth that yuta's body provided fading away as the hot demon walked back to class.

he was too stunned to realise that he hadn't even replied to yuta's words.

"i mean... i wouldn't mind seeing your hot face every day too..."
