18| A Hug Solves All Problems (chanmin)

~•~•

Chris pulled Seungmin's head to his neck, making the younger stumble and fall to Chris on the bed once more, the older whispering to the boy;
"Seung..just leave the lights on. I wanna talk to you more."
"I.. my feelings for Felix were quite strong, up until you came. You were cute, I admit. And you still are. When I hung out with you more, there's this thing deep inside me that wants to keep pestering you. Your reactions were so cute, and your hair..I just wanna nibble them" Chris giggled as Seungmin gave the older weird looks. "Not my fault you looked irresistible. Well, as time went by, my feelings for Felix grew less and less. When he said he had a fiancé, my heart dropped..or at least that's how I felt. But still, I had the energy to work and do fine. It was like my body and my heart knew something else my brain didn't. That still doesn't mean that Felix, who was my crush of five years, being with someone else didn't hurt me. It still did..but I expected it to hurt badly. And I acted like that, acted like what I believed."

Chan looked at the boy laying on top of him, stroking the soft brown hair.
"But now..I think everything I believed..they were all wrong."

Seungmin's heart skipped beats, trying not to think of what he thinks is wrong.

"Seungmin."

No

"I.."

Don't misunderstand.

..

"I love you."

Seungmin's eyes went wide at Chris's words.
"What?"

"I said I love you, dummy. I love you more than my family, I love you more than my job, I love you more than anything and I'd never trade you for anything else." Chris confessed.

Seungmin was..well, shocked, to say the least.
He collected himself and told Chris in reply,
"Funny how I'd say the same, if you didn't beat me to it."

"Wait, what?" Chris asked the younger, raising his head a little from the pillow his head laid on.

"I meant that I would confess if you didn't beat me to it, dumbass." Seungmin spoke as blood rushed to the tip of his ears, making Chris smirk.
"Chris, I'm saying that I love you too."
He continued.

"What?"

"Pfft, I had the same reaction as you just a while ago." Seungmin chuckled.

Seungmin stood up from Chris's grasp, his arms trapping Chris on the bed as he did so. Chris followed after him, with Seungmin taking the small chair near his bed and sitting down.

"So..uh, I guess.. feelings're mutual?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. Why? Wanna be just more than friends?" Seungmin teased.

Chris stood up from the bed where he sat and spread his arms for a hug. Endeared at the bear-like gesture, Seungmin stood up from his seat and hugged the boy. Chris retracted his arms and wrapped them around the younger boy's body, engulfing Seungmin with his warmth. 

"You're so warm, Chris."

"You're hugging me, that's why."

"Hehe. Eh, this..hug feels a little different than usual though. Everytime we hugged, it always felt kinda..well, not saying I hate it, just saying it's different. I'd say, more familial, but this time, it's more..romantic, is that?"

Chris giggled at the boy's words, resisting the urge to just pinch the boy's cheeks. Instead, he gave the boy a kiss on the forehead.
"That's because I now know that I love you, Seung."
