Under The Lights|XiaoHyuck

Xiaojun x Donghyuck

Under the dim lights, Donghyuck can't deny how pretty Xiaojun looks. He's always known this, guilty of giving him lingering looks and trying to check him out without him noticing, but it's a different kind of beauty seeing him standing there, body illuminated by a single light that looks like his own personal spotlight. He stares shamelessly, hoping that he gets caught, hoping that Xiaojun thinks Donghyuck is worth his time.

Xiaojun is pretending not to notice the way Donghyuck is staring at him. Part of it is because it's fun to tease to him, to have any amount of control in this, and the other part is because he's still processing how to handle this. At first, he thought it was a joke, that Donghyuck was being his normal flirty self, so he hadn't bothered entertaining him. But it kept going, he caught the stares, the way he checked him out, making Xiaojun feel exposed no matter how layers he was wearing. Their dynamic shifted. Suddenly, all their jokes and conversations, and eye contact felt more intimate.

He waits another minute before he gets the courage to look directly at Donghyuck and it's enough to get the male to walk towards him, exciting him and panicking him all in one. 

When Donghyuck reaches Xiaojun, he places a delicate hand on the males waist, just to make sure his attention stays on him.

"Yes?" Xiaojun asks in amusement, hoping it masks the other things he's feeling.

"Dance with me."

Xiaojun wonders if his delusion is the reason why the request sounds so hot out of Donghyucks mouth or it's simply just Donghyuck, but he's not willing to dwell on it for too long. He just nods and lets Donghyuck take his hand and tug him a little bit closer to the center of the dance floor. They still have plenty of space from other people, but Donghyuck seems satisfied, so Xiaojun goes with it.

It's really no surprise that Donghyuck easily begins swaying his hips in time with the music, keeping that same unnervingly attractive expression on his face as he gazes at Xiaojun. Because he'd been too focused on his thoughts and the male in front of him, he hadn't paid much attention to the music, causing him to take a moment to get comfortable. He tries to block out Donghyuck just for a minute and get lost in the music just enough to move his body freely. And then he ends up way too close to Donghyuck in the process, but he doesn't mind that, just grins and keeps moving.

Donghyuck slowly extends his hands, giving Xiaojun a chance to shake his head or express some kind of discomfort, but instead, he only moves closer and lets Donghyuck gently grip his waist. As he begins to guide Xiaojuns hips, Donghyucks eyes go up to Xiaojuns face and he lets his thoughts run wild. It's a dangerous thing to do, he's pretty sure Xiaojun can make him lose his mind all on his own, but he doesn't worry too much. He has a plan. He just has to make sure it doesn't backfire on him.

In the back of Donghyucks mind, he recognizes the change in music and brings Xiaojuns arms onto his shoulders, making them even closer, like they're not close enough. Xiaojun tries his best to contain himself and not react, though he's pretty sure his face is giving away how flustered he is and how much he's enjoying this. To battle it, he decides to go all in and rests his forehead against Donghyucks with a smirk that he hopes makes him look more confident than he feels. He lets Donghyuck keep him close, holds a little bit of eye contact, and then lets his eyes wander to Donghyucks inviting light pink lips. He wonders how they'd look after being kissed.

Donghyuck can sense it, Xiaojun giving into him, to this, but it's not enough just like this. He doesn't just want Xiaojun to look interested, he wants to break him and make him show how much he wants this, how much he wants Donghyuck. 

Donghyuck caresses his hair, lets his drop to Xiaojuns lips and holds his gaze enough to (hopefully) get Xiaojuns hopes up. He massages Xiaojuns waist, just gives him little touches, while pretending like he's not really doing anything. He wants to smile at how reactive Xiaojun is. It's cute, the way his face goes pink and he gives him an embarrassed smile and clears his throat. He thinks about kissing him, pretty sure that Xiaojun would let him, and the thought is enough to make him consider abandoning his plan. He doesn't though, he needs proof that it's not just him feeling this pull.
