𝘊𝘩𝘱：12 ✩ Happy thoughts. ONLY!

Third POV
Sunghoon giggled as he had his sister's makeup in front of him as he attempted to cover up the hickey Heeseung gave him, he was currently in the locker room. Picking up the sponge Sunghoon inspected the item before putting some random product on, that looked like it matched his skin and started dabbing it around the hickey. But Sunghoon was pale. Very pale. However the hickey was dark. Very dark. As a result the dark purplish hickey stood out like an eye sore on his collar bone, which didn't help since Sunghoon wore very revealing clothes because of his ice skating career. The boy sighed as he stared at the mirror, a slight smile still present on his lips.

"Heeseung Hyung you asshole, I'm trying but I can't cover it!"
"That's the point I don't even know why you're trying to cover it to be honest..."
"I'm trying to cover it because it's an eyesore when I'm performing!!"
"I think it looks pretty on your collar bone."
"You think anything on me is pretty."
"Because anything on you IS pretty."

Sunghoon chuckled again happily and Heeseung had heard. They were both very content with their 'close friends with benefits' title. Well that's what they both thought. The two were close friends; they were both as close as closest friends could be and nothing more. However they were both craving more. They were craving each other. They just wanted to touch each other and always be in each other's presence. They just wanted to indulge the other. They just wanted to be two dumb teenagers in love. But they were both scared. So scared. Nobody knew what the other felt so they stayed friends. Sharing kisses, cuddles and reassuring words, you would instantly assume they were a couple. But no, just friends.

Nothing more.

...

Sunghoon suddenly started to panic. This was a big competition for him. This was the competition that told him if he was going to nationals or not. The younger boy's breath quickened as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Sunghoon POV
'What if i mess up. I can't remember my routine anymore. What song was I playing? Maybe I should quit this stupid sport. This stresses me out. Why do I do this anyway? I can't do this anymore.'

I completely shut down. Again. I didn't know what to do. I was so scared I was going to mess up. This was a big competition. It was basically like life or death for me. I feel my breath quickening. I am so frightened I am going to mess up and I have no idea what to do. I just wish my mum was here in the changing room to give me some encouragement and not outside. I knew that once my mum and dad saw my performance they would just congratulate me on call, send me some flowers online and not speak to me for a while until I won something else. My parents were like that. They were so close but so far. They have been acting like that since I decided to pursue figure skating. Sometimes I regret pursuing such a sport. It's so stressful and I have no motivation to keep going. I was currently zoning out staring at the mirror contemplating my whole life when out of the blue I felt a warm pair of hands wrap around me from behind. I was only slightly scared as I let out a little gasp until I saw Heeseung snuggling into my shoulder. This was normal for us. I loved Heeseung so much and I loved the physical touch between us but his reassuring words were what I really needed right now.

"I'm so scared Heeseung Hyung..."
"I know I can tell but don't worry I know you're going to do well. Because while you aren't perfect you are still, THE Park Sunghoon THE ice skating prodigy."

I smiled at his words. Heeseung made me so happy.

"Thank you... Honestly Heeseung Hyung."
"No problem babe... But please speak up next time I was getting worried just watching you stare at yourself in the mirror with... that... Face."
"What do you mean by that face? What face do you mean?"
"Your sad overthinking face. It makes me sad. Don't keep making that face okay? I don't like it."
"Hmm... I'll try."
"No don't 'I'll try me' we all know the main characters never actually end up trying now... Only happy thoughts do you understand? Happy thoughts. ONLY!"
"Okay okay fine babe. Happy thoughts only."

I just laughed out of pure happiness. Nobody makes me happier than Heeseung. His stupid words and silly smiles make me so genuinely happy I never know what to say. The high I feel when I'm with Heeseung is something I want to feel all the time.

Heeseung is my person. And I am Heeseung's person.

...

I nailed it. I killed my performance out of the damn rink. I finished my routine and my eyes darted towards Heeseung who was in the crowd standing and clapping for me with the brightest smile I had ever seen on his face. I couldn't help but smile back at him, my fangs sticking out. I was so happy. But I noticed Heeseung pointing at the judging table and as I turned to look my score popped up. All 10s. I felt a tear stream down my face as I crouched down on the ice. Making it to nationals was all I could think about. And Heeseung of course.

Heeseung POV
I watched his beautiful performance. He was at his best today and I was not very surprised because Sunghoon is always the best. As soon as he finished his performance I stood up to look straight at him and clap trying to smile as much as I could to express how much I love him... and his routine of course. He immediately looked at me as soon as he finished his routine and I felt giddy at the thought that Sunghoon was looking for me first. Me first and no one else. I was getting lost in his eyes before I saw his score. Perfect 10s. I quickly pointed behind him, gesturing that he should look. I saw him smile. His fangs stood out. God he was so perfect. He looked so beautiful. I watched as a happy tear streamed down his face and he crouched down on the ice. I quickly got out of my seat and went down the stairs to wait for Sunghoon near the exit of the rink.

...

"That was a beautiful Sunghoon, you're so amazing!"
"Did you see that Heeseung Hyung, all 10s!!"

I watched as he ran towards me and flung himself in my arms. I hugged him tight, never wanting to let him go. I knew Sunghoon was a bit on the skinnier side and that made him get cold quicker but he was a little too cold and I was getting a bit concerned so I just decided to bring my hoodie for him to wear after his performance.

"Here, wear this, you are way too cold."

I put my hoodie on him and looked at how small he was. He is so cute.

"Thanks Heeseung Hyung because i'm literally freezing i'll give this back to you later okay?"
"Nah it's fine just keep it. I'm so proud of you by the way!"
"I'm still in shock, I can't believe I basically got a guaranteed place in nationals!"

Sunghoon POV
I was so excited and happy that I almost forgot I was in Heeseung's arms. His hands are still hanging around my waist. I tried my best to hide my blush but I couldn't and it was only a tiny blush anyway and I thought it was okay before Heeseung said something that made me blush even more.

"I still see the hicke-!"
"Shut up Heeseung!.. Hyung."
"Awwe... Are you embarrassed?"
"Slightly, only because you gave me this."
"What? What's wrong with me giving you one?!"
"The fact that it's you and you're a bit ugly."
"Yah! I know we're close but respect your elders Park Sunghoon!"
"Sorry~"

I don't know why but I am so happy right now. I am so happy in Heeseung's hoodie and Heeseung's arms.
