Based on call me by your name.
Outside the city shone a cold shade of blue. It was almost the peak of dawn, yet the two still could not bring themselves to sleep. Laid in bed, staring at each other, eyes glossed. Both bare, only their underwears remain untouched. Mingyu was set to leave 6 hours from now, which meant they were no longer able to touch each other everyday like this.
The window that had been left open the whole night let the cool breeze enter the dim room— it was beautiful. It reminded them that everything was real, but not forever. "Do you really have to..?", Wonwoo broke the silence between them. Mingyu traced the back of the older with his finger, striking him with a small smile. This did not comfort him— it pained him.
That small smile could only mean one thing. "I'm sorry.", the younger had finally spoken. Everything felt so slow. If only he could stop time and just lay with him even for a few days, he would. But he can't. And he knew that. 2 months together in that house starting off as strangers to this, this thing they had that not a single soul could ever understand— Mingyu knew this were to happen. And he let it.
To let such an innocent man, Wonwoo, who has never loved, be in this situation where he was bound to leave anyway..
"5 more minutes," Mingyu broke the silence that had been lingering for a while. The older's chest rose— breath hitching, a tear escaping. His face is laid on the younger's chest, as if he never wanted to forget the other's heartbeat.
Wonwoo couldn't bear to look him in the eye, in fact— he couldn't bear to look at him. So, with a soft exhale, he muttered, "Okay."
That singular answer had the younger slowly snake his arms around the older, burying his face in his hair. He carefully lifted himself up, just enough so he could see the older's face. And then he leaned forward to press a kiss on his temple. Then, to his cheek. To his nose. And, an open kiss to his lips.
Wonwoo shut his eyes as he responded to the action. Slow to savor it, yet deep to feel everything. "I should go."
With that, Wonwoo laid back down all alone, with the sun gleaming over his body. He couldn't go with him to the station, or he'll forever leave with the guy he met in Italy.
