brother's best friend - lhs

five

Heeseung coming over and sneaking in during the night had become a more common thing. We didn't always do sexual stuff though- there was times where we would just hang out, talk- well whisper, or he would come over just so that we could sleep next to one another.

Then one Friday night he had invited me to come and stay the night at his place. Of course, I wanted to, becoming closer to Heeseung each day, so I had made up the lie to my mom and brother that I would be staying over at Deji's place. Considering whenever I had said that before I had always meant it my mom didn't question me about it and just said it was fine.

I now stood at Heeseung's front door, just having had rung the doorbell. The front door then opened revealing Heeseung's dad whom I've only met very few times during the past few years of knowing him.

"Oh, hey Lili." He says as he continues presumably getting ready to go.

"Hi Mister Lee." I respond as I step inside.

"I would catch up with you but I have work so I gotta go. Have fun." He says before sliding his shoes on and heading out, shutting the door behind him. I lock the door for him and as I'm doing so Heeseung enters the living room.

"You saw my dad?" He asks as he combs his hair back and out of his face with his fingers.

"Yeah, I said hi." I say and he just nods before taking my hand and bringing me to the kitchen.

"I'm hungry as fuck." Heeseung tells me and I just smile and nod, telling him to eat something. I watch as he goes to the pantry and looks through it before eventually taking out some chips. "Wanna share?" He asks me and I nod.

♡ We sit at the couch, talking with one another, ignoring the movie he had put on. We're cuddled up against one another and my hand is in his, his hand softly caressing it as he speaks.

"I hate to bring up your brother but, you think if he found out about.. us, he'd be pissed?" Heeseung asks me.

I think for a minute, thinking about how Jay would react to Heeseung and I's lowkey situationship. "He'd be pissed as shit. He'd kill you." I truthfully respond.

He sighs, "Thought so. Whatever, hiding it is pretty fun." Heeseung says and I nod partly agreeing partly wanting something different.

I thought for a second, should I say this, I wondered. I decided to fuck it and say it, "Do you like me?" I asked, maybe it was obvious considering all that we did together but it was still a question I had in my mind. I really had genuinely felt like I was starting to like him- like in a deeper way than a simple crush or a simple guy you'd hook up with.

He smiles and I think he's about to laugh in my face but instead he leans in and places a kiss on my forehead, "Of course I like you. I really genuinely like you, Lili." Heeseung tells me and I feel a small smile creep onto my face. "Do you really think I'd risk being killed by your brother daily if I didn't like you?" He then asks me, making me laugh. We both smile and he sighs before asking me, "Do you like me?" even though I could tell that we both knew the answer to that.

"Yes." I responded, feeling reassured now.

Heeseung laughs before he places his hand on the back of my head and pulls me in for a kiss. I feel his fingers slightly massage my head as we make out with one another. This kiss feels different, maybe it was because of the first actual confession that we'd both had with one another. I felt needy, needier than ever before- needy for his love and needy for his touch.

Heeseung pulls away and brushes my hair out of my face with his hand, gently pushing it behind my ear, "Let's go to my room."

♡ We go into his room and he shuts the door behind us, locking it just in case. He then walks up to me and brings his arms around me, hugging me tight against him as he kissed me. I pull away from his lips, "I- I want to.. I want to um," I trail off, feeling embarrassed.
