Absolute Chanyeol

part.....

The days pass slowly, Baekhyun makes sure of it. He does most of his homework immediately after coming from university and spends the rest of the days dragging Chanyeol all around Seoul.

Their first stop is an ice cream shop and Baekhyun buys Chanyeol the most possible scoops, much to the disbelief of the cashier. When Chanyeol downs it all in the same time one would normally take for one scoop, the cashier lady is stunned

The days pass slowly, Baekhyun makes sure of it. He does most of his homework immediately after coming from university and spends the rest of the days dragging Chanyeol all around Seoul.

Their first stop is an ice cream shop and Baekhyun buys Chanyeol the most possible scoops, much to the disbelief of the cashier. When Chanyeol downs it all in the same time one would normally take for one scoop, the cashier lady is stunned.

"I can't taste it, not really," Chanyeol says as they walk hand in hand down the street. "But it feels good in my mouth! Wah, Baekhyunnie, you have some of your cheek. Let me get that for you!"

Baekhyun expects a sleeve to start rubbing at his face or a hand, not soft lips and a curious tongue. Chanyeol licks Baekhyun until he's good and pink, laughing when Baekhyun's ice cream comes apart in his hand because he was holding it too tightly.

They act like they're dating and Baekhyun thinks they are, even if nothing has been put into words.

They've evolved beyond words.

In the park, Chanyeol chases a stray dog and then softly tackles Baekhyun to the ground, making them roll over and over until both smell like grass and sunlight. Baekhyun doesn't think he's ever been this happy with another person before. Chanyeol wants to run everywhere and touch everything; Baekhyun lets him, as long as it's legal.

They travel to the highest possible viewpoint in Seoul and the trip is worth it for Baekhyun to see Chanyeol's wide eyes and bright smile. "Wouldn't it be cool to fly, Baekhyunnie? If I could fly, I'd take you on my back and then we'd fly all over the world! There's this place called New York that looks so nice from the pictures I've seen!"

Baekhyun makes an offhand promise to take him to New York in five years, if only to see Chanyeol's happiness expand into a larger force.

They run around all over the city, taking in all the sights and sounds of their bustling metropolis. Chanyeol has a friendly smile and is once attacked by a group of middle schoolers who, though knowing he's not of their own kind, have no problem climbing all over him and declaring him their new friend.

"They really like you," Baekhyun smiles, watching as one of the smaller girls takes Chanyeol by the hand and refuses to let him go.

"I think she wants to keep me!" Chanyeol says, tickling under the little girl's chin. "Hello, little one. I have to go be with Baekhyunnie now, okay? You should go home to your mom and dad, I think they're waiting for you!"

The little girl looks around Chanyeol to Baekhyun and stares, "Is that Baekhyunnie?"

Baekhyun waves awkwardly.

"Yes, it is! He's my..." Chanyeol shuts his mouth, blinking. "He's my... well nothing's really coming to mind what name I should use for him so I'll just say, little one." Chanyeol crouches down until he's eye level with the little girl, grinning. "He's the one I love."

There's a pause and then the little girl smiles, understanding. "Love him a lot, okay?"

"I will," Chanyeol promises with a secret smile.

Standing close enough to hear their conversation, Baekhyun smiles with a heavy chest. His heart had already grown from the affections Chanyeol had given him before but now, with his words, it swelled a little more.
