A/N: School is kicking me in the ass. I'm now a seventeen year old and it's my last year of high school. Growing up and shit. Sorry I'm not updating as fast as I usually do lol. Also an extremely soft chapter.

Date: June 20th

"Why don't you sing me the lyrics you wrote over the last month?" Taehyun asked and Beomgyu quickly shook his head.

"They're embarrassing and cheesy Hyung."

"Our relationship is embarrassing and cheesy," Beomgyu pouted. "What is it about?"

"Running." He looked at Taehyun, and then at the lake they were sitting in front of. "From everything. Like... when my parents died and I felt like Ari and I were alone. Like I was alone. And just running away from all my stress now. Taking you and all the others to go to a safe, stress-free place."

"Please sing it to me Beomgyu-ah," he whispered, leaning his head on the boy's shoulder. "I could use some sort of relief. Do you have a name for said place?"

Beomgyu nodded. "Magic Island."

"Take me to magic island."

After a month of driving, stopping for a few days, and then going again, Beomgyu was in a slight panic. The only thing that kept him sane during this time was writing that song. He wasn't done, only got to the second chorus, but he took his phone out to read it off of that anyway.

"It feels like everyone's happy but me. It hurts more when I smile than when I cry. Though I try to hold it back every day, though I try to hang in there. But it's not working so well right now, what I need is your hand. In moments like those, when tears fill your eyes, hold my hand tight. Should we run away? We've got to be together to get to the hidden nine and three quarters."

He looked at Taehyun, and the older just smiled lovingly at him. "It's really good my love. Is there more?"

Beomgyu nodded. "Bibbidi bobbidi the train is departing. Bibbidi bobbidi our magic island. When we go through this tunnel. When we open our eyes. Our dreams become reality. Be my forever. Call my name. Run away, run away run away with me. At the end of the world forever together. Run away babe give me an answer. Tell me yes, a 'no' is no. Don't wanna stay, now we can go. If you and I are together, we run across the sky. Tell me yes, a 'no' is no. Don't wanna stay, now we can go. Take me now to the magic named 'us'."

He was singing until the second chorus ended and nervously looked at Taehyun. "What's wrong?"

"I didn't do the bridge yet," he whispered, giggling and shying away when Taehyun kissed his neck. "I'm having trouble."

"On that dark night, at the bottom of those stairs. The magic began the moment I saw you. Let's make a magic spell out of your tears. So that there will be no more tears."

Beomgyu looked at Taehyun with glistening eyes and shook his head. "That's amazing Taehyun. Thank you. And your voice..."

"I know. It's bad."

"What?!" Beomgyu yelled in disbelief. "Your voice is beautiful."

"It's high and... I don't know."

"Your insecure because you have a high singing voice? Really? It just means you can hit more high notes. Or at least, easier. Your voice is beautiful." Taehyun thanked him and they stood up, going to the hotel they were staying at across the street. "You go inside. I'll be there in a few minutes, okay?"

Taehyun nodded and went inside, going up to their room and sitting on the bed to watch TV. After a little bit, Beomgyu hopped in excitedly and pushed him back to lay down on the pillows. "What?" Taehyun asked with a small smile on his face.

"Can I have you Hyung?" He reached over to grab a bag of stuff he just bought and Taehyun nodded softly. "You seem to be insecure lately." He took Taehyun's shirt off and the boy shrugged, looking away. "What's going on with you?"

"Nothing..."

Beomgyu sighed and grabbed Taehyun's chin to pull him into a deep kiss, licking his fangs again and making the other vampire whine and pull away.

"Talk to me."

"I just... no."

Beomgyu's eyes widened and Taehyun looked away again. "You're really worrying me Hyung."

"It's fine. I'm fine. Let's do it, okay?" He smiled and Beomgyu sighed in agreement, lifting off his shirt and throwing it somewhere in the room. When he looked back at Taehyun, the older's mouth was hanging open a little and Beomgyu realized it was because of his tattoo. "You're very sweet Beomgyu."

Beomgyu looked down and smiled. It was a tattoo of an all black cat reaching for a small red heart.

"It that like me reaching for you love or something?" Taehyun laughed and Beomgyu melted. It was the first time Taehyun's laughed in a while. Taehyun reached forward and grazed his fingers over the rough skin, taking a shaky breath as he processed it.

"Do you like it?" Beomgyu placed his hands over Taehyun's, yelping when the older flipped him over.

"Do I like it? Beomgyu-ah," he said, chuckling and shaking his head. "I love everything about you."

If Beomgyu had the blood to blush, his cheeks would be burning red right now.
