Let me help you || ChanCheol

Eight

After the dinner

After eating and changing, the two boys lie down together in Seungcheol's bed, neither of them saying anything, they just stay here, and they simply fall asleep, each on his own.

> The next morning

Chan takes Seungcheol for a cuddly toy, but this doesn't seem to bother the older boy, for even though he's been awake for ten minutes or more he don't even know, he does nothing to pull his youngest away from him, simply letting him clasp his waist in his arms and gently stroking his younger's hair. A smile tugs at the corners of his lips, it's a really nice wake-up call, and to accompany this gentle morning, the sun's rays gently illuminate the room, waking Chan, who grunts as the light falls on him. Then his eyes open and he realizes what's happening, panicking and moving away from his elder with a awkward smile, a slight blush on his checks.

" Why do you ran away from me like that Chan-ah ? " Seungcheol smile softly and try to rassure his younger the best he can.

" I don't want you to think that..." Chan's eyes are focused on his hands.

" That I think what ? Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're going to jump me Chan-ah."

" But I hugged you maybe all the night and..."

" First you didn't do it on purpose. Plus if it had bothered, disturbed or disgusted me I would have pushed you away nevertheless I didn't so stop panicking."

" Hyung you really are an amazing person. Don't forget that. Thank you so much for your words. "

The elder smiled even more and slowly approached Chan, who put aside his stress and let his friend come to him. Seungcheol's hands join his legs and his gaze plunges into his younger's. Calmly, one of his hands restores the cadet's dishevelled hair and he smiles once more.

" Don't doubt yourself, you're beautiful too, Channie. Inside and out."

The younger man bows his head towards the bed, blowing out a small thank you, his elder laughs softly and walks away from the bed.

He tells his friend he can get dressed, and he goes into the bathroom to give the younger boy some privacy. After changing, the two boys leave the bedroom to go downstairs to feed. Once this is done, they go back upstairs to wash their faces and teeth.

Pushing and teasing each other, they carry out their actions, then after Chan's turn, he takes his bag and starts applying his make-up, but Seungcheol stops him from doing anything. 

" But hyung please ! " Chan's whine like a baby and make a pout for have Seungcheol's heart.

" You're absolutely gorgeous, you don't need it, get it through your head. Today and every other day you're forbidden to use this. "

Seungcheol steals his younger make-up and puts it away in his dresser drawers with a smile, Chan are disappointed so he left the bathroom and packs his bag after today he'll have to go home. His parents will be home soon to see him. Even if he doesn't feel like it, he doesn't have much choice: he knows that if his parents turn up and he's not there, his life will be even worse than the one he's living now. But things are much better at the moment, Seungcheol is helping him to get back on his feet, and it's mutual, the blond is really starting to get back on his feet too.

So it's with happiness that the two boys leave the house, and before going for a stroll they of course tell Seungcheol's grandmother not to worry, who wishes them a good day and the boys wish the old lady the same. After this, the two boys set off for a small park.

They are now sitting on the grass, gazing up at the sky, smiling without speaking, but the silence is so pleasant that no one dares break it. But then Chan's cell phone rings. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A dude

I kissed and wanted to sleep with Seonghwa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chan almost chokes at this message : his friend, who hated the black-haired man, did this ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

< Cellphone Chan >

Me

Can I have some context please ?

A dude

Well... How can I explain this ?
I don't know why my hatred for him turned into attraction, it's inexplicable...

Me

Yeo', what do you think of him at the moment ?

A dude

I want to take him violently in the dance club showers.

Me

But uh ? Don't say it like that.

A dude

Don't be such a prude when you're dreaming of Seungcheol doing the same to you.

Me

I don't want to do that with him, he's my friend

A dude

You're really kidding yourself, but hey, stick to your denial uh- I'll work it out with Seonghwa.

Me

I want the whole progress in detail.

A dude

You do ? You want me to explain to you how we fuck each other's ? The position ? Where ? When ?

Me

No, not that ! You idiot. I'm not interested in that kind of information.

A dude

You're so...
Innocent ? But that's good.

Me

I'm not innocent I assure you I've just never slept with anyone and I'd like to find that out on my own, without being helped by your details

A dude

You're waiting to find out the details with a certain person, just as I'm waiting to discover the pleasure of doing it with someone I have feelings for.

Me

You want Seonghwa for sure, but me.

Wait, just because I told you I think he's handsome and I want him to be happy, doesn't mean I want to go out with him okay ? 

A dude

It's not just that, your eyes sparkle when you talk about him.

Me

I didn't say anything when your eyes twinkled when you talked about Seonghwa.

A dude

I was in denial myself, I wanted to hate him from the depths of my soul but my heart decided otherwise. 
Don't make me believe that Seungcheol has no effect on you.
Seen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chan sighs at this message, then turns his head towards Seungcheol, it's true that he likes to see and spend time with his elder, it's true that he finds him as attractive on the inside as he is on the outside, it's true that seeing his elder smile makes him smile, but it's normal to want your friend to be happy, isn't it ?
