REALITY (A Sebaek Fanfiction)

"Sehun?"

At the sound of his voice, Sehun's head snapped upwards towards the nurse that called him. His neck was sore from sleeping against the wall and he stretched as he stood.

"I'm Sehun," he spoke, "Is Baekhyun--"

"Miss Kim Lee Hwa has already seen him and she wanted me to let you know she went back to her residence. For now, I can take you to see the patient."

Sehun nodded and followed closely behind the nurse as strode upstairs and down a long hallway, checking her clipboard occasionally.

"He's in this room," she said, as she tapped gently on the door that read 291. "Sehun's here to see you Mr. Baekhyun." Then she was gone, leaving Sehun standing awkwardly outside the room door.

Did Baekhyun even want to see him?

Swallowing back his doubt he gripped the doorknob and turned, stepping into a small, decorated hospital room. Baekhyun was sitting up wearing a hospital gown, staring out of the window by his bed. He didn't seem to notice him entering, so Sehun crossed to the small chair and sat carefully in it. Baekhyun sighed and without looking at him spoke,

"I'm sorry for worrying you..."

Sehun winced indwardly at the pain in his voice, "Baekhyun you really didn't--"

"Please don't lie," he adjusted so he was facing Sehun, "You haven't gone home at all have you?"

Sehun lowered his head and Baekhyun hummed, "Ah? I was right."

"Forget about me Baekhyun, are you okay?"

He sighed again and stared as his bandaged wrist, "I bet you're wondering why I did this?"

Sehun's gaze settled on Baekhyun's. He wanted desperately to comfort him. Brush away the stray piece of hair on his forehead, hug him, make his pain go away completely. Instead he shook his head and put his hands inches from the other boy's, as close as he would allow himself get.

"Baekhyun," he spoke softly, "That's--"

"Didn't I say not to lie?" his voice rose slightly in volume and Sehun jumped. "Why would the privileged kid from a wealthy family cut himself? They'll think I did it for attention! They wouldn't care if I really did die!"

Sehun wasn't sure who the "they" was that Baekhyun was talking about but his heart was aching. Baekhyun's voice broke and he dragged his arm across his eyes. "I'm sorry you had to stay here for so long and lose sleep over someone like me. You can go."

Sehun hesitated. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay by Baekhyun's side until he was fully recovered.

"Why didn't you just let me die?" Baekhyun yelled suddenly and Sehun's eyes widened at the bluntness of his statement... suddenly something inside him suddenly changed.

Before he could let his brain process what he was doing, he reached out and put a hand on Baekhyun's shoulder, rubbing his thumb over the boy's exposed collar bone slowly. His other hand came up to gently caress the side of Baekhyun's cheek.

"Byun Baekhyun. I would care if you died. Your the only person who's actually cared to get to know me in a long time. You make me feel like I'm not completely alone...If you died I would have no one. "

Baekhyun's eyes widened slightly and bit his lip, "Sehun..."

"Don't ever say that again. You mean so much to me Byun Baekhyun. You can tell me about what's making you hurt. Because..."

Sehun looked into the golden brown eyes across from him, "I'm going to protect you from now on."

Both boys were frozen and Sehun realized what he had just said. He had just confessed...was that the wrong thing to do? Would Baekhyun hate him now? His heart began to shatter...did he just ruin everything between them?

Baekhyun slowly took his Sehun's hand off his body, his eyes cast downwards.

Sehun began to blush and he mentally punched himself. "A-ah, s-sorry that was--"

Baekhyun suddenly swung his legs out from under the hospital blanket and let them hang on either side of Sehun's chair. He leaned forward and Sehun's breath hitched in his throat at Baekhyun's warm lips connected with his.

Baekhyun slid Sehun's  glasses off gently as the kiss intensified and Sehun reached up and wrapped his arms around Baekhyun's waist so he could hold him better. Sehun had dreamed about this moment for so long and it was better than he could have ever imagined. He wouldn't have to think about what it felt like to have Baekhyun's lips on his because they were there. He wouldn't have to think about what it felt like to have Baekhyun's head on his chest, tracing circles on his hand because it was actually happening.

The start of something new was blossoming with his first love.
