Love Nap

Power nap

Chan had always been the leader, the reliable one in the group, but today he didn't feel like either.

Chan felt tired and drained as soon as he woke up. He was working on something late that night, testing out new music editing equipment, and lost the track of time.
Groggy and slightly stumbling, he made his way over to the commons area.
Chan frowned as he found it mostly empty save for Changbin and Seungmin.

"G'morning guys," He greeted. Changbin said the same back, and Seungmin just nodded along.

"Where is everyone else?" Chan asked curiously, grabbing the leftovers from last night.

"I think most of them just went out, and Hyunjin and Jeongin might still be here playing games," Seungmin responded whilst putting his dishes away.

"Oh," Chan said dumbly.

Chan looked down at the cold pizza slice in his hand. He didn't really feel hungry even though he slept past breakfast, and it was almost lunch time.

"Hey Hyung, everything okay?" Changbin had a worried crease between his brow.

"Yeah," Chan sighed, "Still tired."

He forced himself to eat the pizza and then decided it was time to go back to his studio.

"Chan," Changbin called after him before he fully left.

"What is it Bin?"

"Let me come with you. You look like you could use some help," Changbin bluntly stated, following after the older.

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Chan grinned, motioning for Changbin to come with.

"You look like you haven't slept in a whole year."

Chan frowned at this. Sure he hasn't been sleeping the best for the past week, but did he really look that bad?

"Don't worry though it's only dark circles," Changbin said, clearly trying to appease him.

"Haven't been sleeping the best," Chan said.

"Why's that?" Changbin bumped him with his shoulder as they walked.

"Just been forgetting to I guess," Chan couldn't really find a better excuse on why he was staying up late.

"How do you forget to sleep?" Changbin sounded annoyed at this. "You need to take better care of yourself, Hyung," Changbin punched Chan's shoulder lightly.

Chan rubbed his shoulder dramatically as if it hurt.
"Sorry," Chan pouted at Changbin who just pouted back.

They finally rounded to the studio and made their way inside.
Changbin immediately plopped down on the couch and patten the space next to him.

"You should take a power nap," He suggested as Chan sat down.

"Changbin, I literally slept through breakfast! I don't need a power nap," Chan huffed and brushed Changbin's hand off of his shoulder.

Changbin didny say anything more after that, he just gave Chan, You know I'm right, looks.
Chan finally gave up with a sigh after he yawned a couple times and couldn't focus on what he was doing anymore.

He got back on the couch next to Changbin and pressed up against him. Changbin smirked, knowing that he had won.

Chan frowned and pinched his arm to stop him from gloating.
"Just a short nap okay? Wake me up in thirty minutes," Chan curled up against Changbin, resting his head on the other man's thigh as if it were a pillow.

"Will do," Changbin said, looking down at Chan.
After a couple minutes, he unconsciously started to stroke Chan's hair.

But fortunately (unfortunately for Chan) Changbin dozed off too.

Chan woke up two hours later, feeling refreshed. As soon as he sat up Changbin started to wake.
He rubbed his left eye with his hand.

"You made my leg numb," He grumbled to Chan.
"Your the one who wanted me to sleep," Chan retorted.

Changbin only huffed, now jostling his leg up in down to get the feeling back into it.

"Changbin it'd been two hours!" Chan exclaimed after looking at the time on his phone.

"Not my fault that I fell asleep too," Changbin frowned.

Chan sighed in defeate.

"Let's head back huh? I'm starting to get hungry," He stood up and stretched a bit.

"Food always sounds good," Changbin said following in suit.

While walking back they found their hands intertwining.

They both blushed and looked away from each other. The tips of Chan's ears turned bright red.

They have been into each other for awhile. They both knew it and so do the other members, but for some reason they always have danced around the subject and never tried to actually do something about their feeling towards each other.

"Changbin?" Chan asked, his voice wavering.

"Yeah?" Changbin raised a brow.
"Y'know that I like you right?"

Changbin nodded, his hand went up to the back of his neck and he looked away again sheepishly.

"And you like me?" Chan asked, sounding unsure.
Changbin just nodded again, his face blooming a light pink.

"Then why haven't we ever committed to each other?" Chan finally got to the point.

"I-i don't know," Changbin responded with a shrug.

The truth was that they both got too nervous and jittery about the subject that they just avoided it all together.

"Let's just commit..- what's the worst that could happen?" Chan asked hopefully, giving Changbin's hand a squeez.

"If- if you're sure you want to," Changbin said finally looking at Chan.

They have both stopped walking at that point and turned to face each other.

"Yeah," Chan said in almost a whisper.

"Then," Changbin said finally gaining his confidence, "Christopher Bang Chan," He started " Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Of course," Chan responded giddily. He threw his arms over Changbin and embraced him.
Changbin kissed the tip of his forehead.

"Now how about that food yeah? You didn't eat very much," Changbin suggested, a huge grin and red cheeks adorned his face.

"Sure," Chan laughed.

And there they went hand in hand back to the dorms.
Butterflies fluttered around in both of their stomachs and stars filled their eyes.
