Park Chanyeol.
This name has a special meaning to Byun Baekhyun. It means protection; ever since the two were young, Chanyeol was his knight in shining armor, defending Baek from his childhood bullies.
This name means everything. All of Baekhyun's childhood memories, all the memories he can remember, involve him and Chanyeol.
First time riding a bike?
with Chanyeol.
First party?
with Chanyeol.
Almost everything he's experienced was with his closest friend, Park Chanyeol. The two did everything together; they were practically conjoined at the hip.
Back during their childhood years, everyone thought Chanyeol had a crush on Baekhyun and vise versa. Although both quickly denied it, the same idea was placed in the each other's minds.
Do I like him? Does he like me?
They pushed these thoughts to the back of their minds on a daily basis because it was unacceptable to both of the younglings' parents for males to date each other. These same thoughts had been passed on to both Chanyeol and Baekhyun.
That was until one night.
The two were having one of their weekly sleepovers, which usually involved the two watching movies all night while eating junk food that both the teenagers parents weren't very fond of, and ending the night with Chanyeol sleeping on Baekhyun's bedroom floor while Baekhyun slept peacefully on his own bed. Chanyeol still held onto the idea that it was weird for two teenage boys to sleep in the same bed, but sleeping on the floor at every sleepover was becoming a little uncomfortable for him and his back. Chanyeol was itching to jump into that pad of warmth with Baekhyun. Yet again, it would be a little awkward for Baek's parents to walk into a room with two shirtless boys snuggling in the same bed, so he sighed, tucking the corners of his blanket under himㅡattempting to keep his body warm and off the not-so-warm carpet. Usually, Baekhyun would be asleep by time midnight rolled around, but not tonight. Baek was wide awake.
Irritated with the silence, Baek decided to stir up a conversation. "Yeol? Are you still awake?"
Propping himself onto his elbows, Baekhyun's forehead became in Chanyeol's line of sight, "Yeah, I can't sleep."
"Wanna come in my bed?" Baekhyun patted the surface of his cover, "It's nice and comfy up here. You'll be asleep in no time."
Not wanting to break his friend's little heart, he nonchalantly agreed, not keeping in mind the possibility of Baek's parents walking in, and having to receive the same old 'don't sleep in the same bed' lecture.
The two were comfortably enjoying every second of each other's company, giggling at each other's lousy jokes. Nothing was awkward or uncomfortable between the both of them. Then, Baekhyun grabbed Chanyeol's hands, casually placing them around his own body, basically putting the two into a cuddling position. For Chanyeol, it made things awkward. He was stuck between fake sleeping it off or just completely ending the conversation, but then again, it would be rude and he was not one to be rude. On the other hand, Baekhyun was even hyper. Between the feeling of the younger teenager's bulge against his backside and them cuddling in general made Baekhyun feel completely comfortable. And a little excited.
Tensing up a little, Chanyeol asked, "Isn't it getting a little late?" He slowly released his hands from both sides of Baekhyun's soft, shirtless torso. "We should be sleeping."
"You sound like my parents."
"Shut up."
Baekhyun turned around to face Chanyeol, smirking as he teased, "Are you my daddy, now?" Chanyeol's face began to heat up, and even though it was dark in the room, Baekhyun could still sense it. "Nervous are we?"
Chanyeol breaks his silence, locking eye contact with the elder, "No."
The moonlight coming from the window made Chanyeol's eyes glisten almost perfectly. His hair—a perfectly tossed mess. The light from the moon wasn't all too bright, but it made all of Chanyeol's sudden perfections stand out. Greatly. It made Chanyeol almost kissable, and Baekhyun was determined to do it. He placed his small palm along the giant's nape, he pulled him in, pressing his lips softly on the younger teenager's lips. And there he felt it. A spark. Like none he's ever felt before. Although Baekhyun never had a kiss on the lips beforeㅡneither did the soft-lipped giantㅡChanyeol's lips felt like where his belonged at the moment, and didn't get any reassurance until Chanyeol began to kiss back. The kiss didn't last long, but in both the teenager's minds, the kiss felt like it lasted an eternity.
Realizing what he did, Baekhyun began to blush. "What does this mean for us? Are weㅡ"
"Dating," The giant finished Baek's sentence, "I guess, but we have to be secretive about it. If our parents find out, we won't be allowed to date. Nonetheless, be friends."
Baekhyun nodded, "You're right. But I mean, about us. Have you always felt this way?"
The 15 year old began sharing all of what he felt for 16 year old; likewise, Baekhyun did the same. He told the giant all the feelings he'd held in for the last four years, and it turns out, they both liked each other very much. Alarmed by the things their parents had told them about sexuality, they came to the conclusion that it was best to keep their relationship a secret until they came up with some sort of plan or after the both of them became legal adults. Besides, It was only a couple of years before they were both of legal age.
"Baek, it doesn't matter anymore. You're mine now, and that's final," He said, smiling proudly, "Now. Let me get back on the floor before someone catches us."
