Stay Strong Seventeen

Verkwan 3 🤍

Seungkwan was staring at Vernon sleeping, thinking of all the possible ways last night could have been like.
Vernon was taking care of him?
There comes that blush again

Seungkwan stirred a little and Vernon jolted up. He opened his eyes to meet Seungkwan's tired puffy eyes
"Heyy" he whispered "You're up, how do you feel?" Vernon urgently asked immediately extending his hand to move Seungkwan's hair away from his face and touch his cheek "You're still warm though" Seungkwan didn't say anything so far, he just stared blankly at the other
"Are you okay? Say something, shall we call the doctor again?"

"Again?" Seungkwan asked, his voice obviously too tired, he was confused

"Yeah" Vernon was a bit worried now that he heard his voice "You passed out yesterday, you have a viral fever we had to call the paramedics, don't you remember anything?"

Seungkwan blinked "No" ... "Last thing I remember was coming home after the shooting"

Vernon understands of course, but he somehow felt disappointed too, does that mean that Seungkwan doesn't remember their kiss?

"You sound tired" Vernon pointed out, placing his hand once again over Seungkwan's head.
The younger blinked slowly, yes, he was tired, his chest going up and down in slow motion and he didn't have to reply to Vernon to confirm his suspicions

"Why don't you go back to sleep, I'll make us some breakfast okay?"

Seungkwan didn't really want Vernon to leave his side, he longed for his presence more than anything, he hated himself for having these feelings, he didn't know how to deal with them yet and he was almost sure that Vernon didn't felt the same about him but nonetheless, he enjoyed having him by his side, he felt safe when Vernon was there.

Seungkwan ended up nodding anyways and Vernon left the room to get them some breakfast.
Vernon walked heavily toward the kitchen, Seungkwan didn't remember anything and it was sad but he had to put those feelings aside because Seungkwan was also still sick and he had to make sure he was okay.

He came back a while later with a platter of toast, jam, mixed fruits, yogurt and juice. It was everything he could find that was more or less a healthy choice in their kitchen. Seungkwan almost dozed off but the moment Vernon put the tray down, he was awakened.

He sat up a little to munch on whatever he could without feeling nauseous and took a few sips of the apple juice. Vernon passed him his pills and Seungkwan was feeling faint by that time, he just wanted to go to bed.
With Vernon laying by his side, he let his head fall into his shoulder and Vernon gulped, his heart beating inside his stomach, this is how they were laying just before their kiss with Seungkwan's hand over his chest. He was nervous but also worried about him, he put his arm around Seungkwan's shoulder securing him even closer to him.

"Seungkwan?"

"Humm"

"Do you remember anything?"

A moment of silence took over as Seungkwan shifted a little on Vernon's shoulder "Not much really, it's all blurry" ... "I remember coming back home and going to bed"

Vernon nodded and hummed feeling rather too disappointed than ever
"My arm hurts" Seungkwan pulled out his forearm where the doctor injected him with the IV drips and a plaster was covering the area

Vernon reached his hand to hold it, softly stroking it "It's from the injection the doctor gave you"

Seungkwan enjoyed the closeness, him leaning onto Vernon's shoulder, his arm around him and fingers gently stroking his bruised forearm. It felt like a dream almost too ... familiar?
