a headache

Renjun and Jisung tilted their heads to the side, watching Chenle throw eggs out of their window and into their neighbours yard, having 50% accuracy. They watched as Chenle slammed another egg into the fence, splattering everywhere. Not that it really mattered as there were already so many egg bits all over the place. The only reassurance Chenle had given Renjun was that the eggs were well after expiry, which did not reassure him whatsoever.

"What...the fuck...do you see in him?" Renjun slowly turned his head to the youngest.
Jisung tilted his head back, widening his eyes dramatically. "I...don't know." He snapped his head back, narrowing his eyes at the boy throwing eggs. Chenle moved his arm further back to add more power into his throw. He ended up splattering the egg on the wall beside the window and accidentally punching said wall.
Renjun winced as Chenle yelped but it seemed okay as Chenle just continued to finish off the last of 12 containers. He turned his head back to Jisung, the younger boy looking back at him. "I think I'm just blinded by love at this point." As if that was a mystery to anyone.

After finally throwing his last egg, Chenle sighed and dusted his hands off. He turned around, breaking into a thin lipped smile as he shuffled back. "I'm done."
"Why?" Renjun immediately and exhaustedly asked, tilting his head and flicking to Mandarin in his desperate confusion. "Why the fuck did you do that?"
"Guanheng ge is getting on my nerves," Chenle replied simply, picking at his nails.
"Guanheng ge is getting on your nerves," Renjun repeated, nodding and turning to Jisung, repeating it again in Korean to Jisung. He snapped his head, "Why would you attack Yangyang's friend, you fucking walnut?"
Chenle shrugged, walking over and flopping onto Jisung's lap. Great, now Yangyang would leave him too, just when he thought he couldn't add to the list anymore.

Renjun groaned as Jisung flicked Chenle's head as soon as the boy landed. Chenle winced, holding his forehead in pain and sitting up with a frown. "Hey, what's that for?"
"For being an idiot and a bad neighbour," Jisung scolded.
Chenle rolled his eyes. He gestured toward the poor neighbour he had just egged. "He changed his wifi password"
Jisung's jaw dropped, "I'm sorry you egged his house cause he changed his wifi password?!" he yelped.
"Hey," Chenle looked at him, scrunching his face into a frown, "You're supposed to be on my side."
"What? No," Jisung shook his head, "You egged a man's house!"
"And?" Chenle questioned, "you should be supporting me. I'm your boyfriend and best friend, dickhead. You should be on my team."

Jisung looked up at Renjun for help, gesturing to the elder's forsaken cousin and silently asking him to help.
Renjun shrugged, "Yeah, Jisung's right."
"Jisung's your favourite, that's not fair," Chenle argued.
"Isn't it?" Renjun sneered at the younger boy, "Cause quite frankly you're a pain."
Chenle scoffed, "Oh yeah, prove it."
"Easy, you egGED MY FRIEND'S BEST FRIEND'S HOUSE," Renjun screamed back at him.
They continued bickering as per usual, Renjun glossing over the fact that one of them finally had the guts to confess and now they were together. It was really only a matter of time though. He'd probably just ask about it later. They were gonna last a long time so he didn't worry. The eggs on the fence and wall of Guanheng's house however weren't, so might as well sort that out while they could.

"To be fair, he also has been screwing with me on pubg servers." Chenle added. He whipped around to the window, waving his fist at the house next door. "I know your fucking player name, asshole!"
Jisung groaned, facepalming loudly enough for Renjun to wince at the sound, hoping that he didn't hurt himself in any way.

About halfway through all of their squabbling, Chenle's phone rang. He picked up only to rip it away from his ear as an angry voice came through the speaker. Not even on loud speaker. Wow.
Chenle immediately started arguing back in rapid fire Mandarin. Turns out Guanheng was home and had seen the damage. Chenle got up, both of them arguing loudly as he made his way to the kitchen, Guanheng vaguely visible through the window of the house screaming back at him.

Renjun rolled his eyes, not wanting to get involved. He quickly shot a text to Yangyang, apologising for any damage that may be caused, before turning back to Jisung, catching him gazing at Chenle.
"I see you gained the guts to speak?" Renjun wiggled his eyebrows at the younger boy, Jisung laughing a little with a faint blush.
He shrugged, "I guess so. It was an accident though."
"Oh?" Renjun quirked a brow.
Jisung chuckled, rubbing the nape of his neck awkwardly. Renjun sat up, intrigued and wanting Jisung to spill everything.

"Well, I was kinda in an argument with a classmate," he explained, "Yedam was being a twat, as per usual, and trying to, like, pair me with some of the girl's in my class. Highschooler's are so fucking annoying, man." Renjun raised his eyebrows, agreeing wholeheartedly. Even when he was in highschool he hated his classmates. Jisung waved his hand dismissively, "anyway, I got annoyed and was yelling at him and shit and he was taunting me and I kinda snapped." Jisung nodded slowly, muttering under his breath now. "And I snapped by saying that the reason I didn't want to be with any of the girls there is cause I liked Chenle..."
Renjun snorted, slow clapping his disastrous friend. Jisung groaned a little, "I dunno why I didn't just say I liked just 'someone else' but yeah the class got kinda quiet. It was so fucking embarassing already, I literally almost burst into tears. But then it got worse cause Chenle happened to be dropping something off for me and heard the whole damn thing."

Jisung groaned as if it hadn't worked out in his favour. Though reliving the whole thing probably wasn't great. "But yeah, I kinda avoided him for like a whole week. That's why I didn't come here last week." Renjun let out a small "oh" under his breath as it clicked. No wonder the place felt empty, for once Chenle was silent most of the days. He honestly was just enjoying the peace.

Okay that was a small fib, he did worry a little. But when he asked Chenle, the boy just waved him off, saying that he had to find his way himself. Renjun didn't want to intrude so he didn't push anymore, but he was glad it worked out.

"Chenle kinda cornered me in the library though," Jsisung snorted, "it sounds threatening but I'm glad he did it. I ended up telling him everything and turns out, it worked out well for me." He gave a thin lipped smile. "Now that thing," he pointed up Chenle, who was still yelling over the phone, and then pointed to himself, "is mine." His smile slowly became more and more horrified as he thought about it. He looked over at Chenle. "...I regret my decisions."
"I heard that!" Chenle yelled out before going back to screaming in Chinese.
"Good!" Jisung yelled back. He turned back to face the couch before breaking into a silly smile, chuckling a bit. He looked up at Renjun, shaking his head a little. "I don't, but he's still a headache."
Renjun shrugged. That was Chenle for you. Bratty and annoying and yet, you still wanted him around. No wonder he and Donghyuck got along so well.

"You're so mean to me," Chenle shook his head as he came back into the living room. Jisung raised an eyebrow, "so you're done."
"Oh absolutely not," Chenle replied, emptying out his pockets on to the table. He turned around toward Renjun. "When I ask to come back in, please have a towel prepared."
And with that he marched off outside, shutting the door behind him.

Both Renjun and Jisung watched the door in silence. They waited a few moment before they heard gushing water followed by screaming that was definitely not Chenle. A few moments after that though, more water could be heard with Chenle's high pitched dolphin screaming echoing in their front yard.
"...should be do something about that?" Jisung turned to Renjun.
Renjun shook his head, "Let the feral stay feral."
