-What If...-
_____________________________
Even though Chanyeol had dated girls before, he felt like a big nervous mess. Was his hair okey? Did he look tacky? What if Baekhyun doesn't like the date?
He nervously fiddled with his shirt while he waited at the café Baekhyun had agreed to meet at. Was he too early? He had been waiting for 5 minutes, but it felt longer than that. He would look back every 5 seconds to see if Baek had showed up.
It was now 1:06. It's been 6 minutes. Maybe he got busy? Chan looked at his phone to see if he had gotten any texts, searching through some texts that his sister sent. Once he looked up from his phone, there sat Baekhyun, smiling brightly.
"OMO. When did you get here?"
Chan didn't even see him come in, or sit down right in front of him. "Just now." Baekhyun said, smiling his rectangular smile. Chanyeol took in how adorable and cute his smile was, and felt he had been phased by it. There was a weird feeling that Chan felt just then. It wasn't bad. No. It was far from bad. It was, warm and nice. Like his heart got a big warm hug. Chanyeol smiled back, stuffing his phone back into his pocket.
"So..."
Even though Chanyeol and Baekhyun were popular people, who people liked to be around. Their funny attitude was replaced with nervous awkwardness. Chan cleared his throat.
"I planned on us going ice skating."
Baekhyun nodded, smiling again. "That sounds great." Chanyeol stood up and went over to Baekhyun.
"Let's go~"
----
Chanyeol helped Baekhyun get his skates on, and helped him stand up. Baekhyun slowly wobbled over to the entrance as Chanyeol put on his own skates.
"Have you ever ice skated before?"
Chanyeol asked. Chan had been ice skating with girls that dated him before. Baekhyun hesitantly nodded.
"My grandmother took me once or twice when I was little."
Chanyeol thought for a second. No wonder he was so scared and wobbly. Chan got onto the rink and helped Baek get in too.
Baekhyun wasn't very good at skating. He wobbly held onto Chan's shoulder, slowly moving as Chan put his hand on his waist.
"W-Woa-ah!"
As Baekhyun was trying to balance he stumbled back and almost fell, if it wasn't for Chanyeol. He held onto Chan's waist, trying to slide back up as his feet slid back. Chanyeol pulled him up, holding his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fall."
---
As the day went on, they skated and skated together, hand-in-hand. Baekhyun would have fallen multiple times, if it wasn't for Chanyeol.
Baekhyun was now very cold, Chan could feel his hands shaking in his own.
"Wanna stop and get some hot chocolate?"
Baekhyun felt his teeth chattering, and his hands felt like they were frozen.
"Y-Yes"
Chanyeol helped Baehyun get out of the rink, and take off his skates. They walked over to the stand, Chanyeol had put his jackets on Baekhyun earlier, so Baekhyun now looked like a marshmallow.
"Two hot chocolates please."
As Chanyeol paid for the hot chocolate, Baekhyun slipped his cold hand into Chan's now warm one. Chan handed Baekhyun his, and they walked to a table.
Baekhyun happily sipped his hot chocolate, smiling so wide his beautiful eyes disappeared and turned into adorable crescents.
"Did you have fun today?"
Chanyeol asked. He was sad that this day was coming to an end, and this was the last date with Baekhyun....
But it doesn't have to be the last date, Chanyeol thought. Chanyeol had been thinking, he really wanted Baekhyun to be his and him to be Baekhyun's...
But his mind would always go off into that one thing. That what if. What if fans didn't accept us? What if he gets hurt because of me? What if this, what if that.
He knew some of the things were stupid, but his mind followed along and thought that might happen.
He looked up at Baekhyun, he looks so happy right now. But tonight Chan will have to break it...All Chan could think was.
...I don't want to let him go...
----------
It was now time. Just a few more steps till he reached Baekhyun's house.
I don't want this to end!
Chanyeol thought to himself. He kept thinking about how hurt Baek would look, and how hurt Baek would feel, and seeing Baek like that... it would hurt him just as much.
As They walked up the steps, to the door, Baekhyun could feel it in his gut. He knew Chan would say something, and he knew Chan was just pretending, but.... Something in Baekhyun gave him false hope. Maybe what they had was true? Maybe Chan..... Loves me....?
Baekhyun shook the thoughts away. No he wouldn't, the look on his face doesn't say he's about to confess his love, it says I'm about to hurt someone, and that some one is me, Baekhyun thought.
"Baekhyun I-"
Baekhyun looked up at Chanyeol with sorrowful eyes. All Chan hated that. He hated those sad eyes. Earlier those eyes were so happy... But because he knows what I'm about to say...
Chanyeol thought for a moment.
I don't want to let him go! But what if-
No more 'What if's!
Chanyeol wrapped an arm around Baekhyun's waist, pulled him in,
And kissed him.
"I won't let you go. Ever."
