"Chanyeol can you tell me why You're carrying Baekhyun on your back?"

"He fell alseep."

"So you carried him the whole way back?"

"Well I wasn't going to put him down and leave him half way now was I?"

Chanyeol carried his roommate through the living room to their shared room and attempted to shut the door without dropping baekhyun. He then walked over to the bed and sat down, still with Baekhyuns clinging to his back. At first Chanyeol tried to shake the smaller off but he moved an inch.

That was until he all of a sudden fell backwards taking Chanyeol with him. Chanyeol was now lying half on top of baekhyun, worrying that he was probably crushing the boy underneath.
However baekhyun still appeared to be asleep, but now only with his leg wrapping itself around chanyeols waist.

The tallers heart beat quickened as he struggles to untangle himself from Baekhyun. But he couldn't. Baekhyun had a firm grip onto his Tshirt so Chanyeol couldn't escape which made him even more flustered.

'Why won't he let go?'

Chanyeol, deciding to accept his fate, shuffled until one of Baekhyuns legs were no longer underneath him and it didn't feel like he wasn't snapping any bones. This resulted in both roommates  lying on their side facing each other—well they would be if baekhyun was actually awake.

Baekhyuns leg was still resting on chanyeols waist, his hand was clutching  Chanyeols shirt (which just pulled them closer) and he was now burrowing his head into Chanyeols neck.

Chanyeol didn't know how to react. He gulped, remained stiff and prayed, to God, that Jongin didn't walk in at this very moment.

Baekhyun murmured multiple things into the crook of chanyeols neck but he didn't understand any of it, instead it only made him shiver when he felt his roommates breath on his skin. After a while, Baekhyun stopped mumbling all kinds of mixed up words and, from what it looked like, finally fell into a deep sleep. It made Chanyeol smile when he watched the side of Baekhyun slowly lift up and down again to the rhythm of his breathing. He was so peaceful.

It was only then when Chanyeol began to think about how this goddamn crush on his best friend needed to stop or if that was to hard for Chanyeol... Then he needed to find the guts to tell him. He already knew Jongin let out a big hint to whole thing but he still wasn't sure whether Baekhyun actually was aware how serious he liked the boy.

'Maybe baek has already forgotten about that incident?.... Maybe he doesn't even remember what Jongin said?..'

'Does he even care?...'

Chanyeol thought about it for a while, as his roommate snuggled even closer (if that was possible) ad he finally came to the conclusion that he just couldn't get rid of his feelings for Baekhyun so quickly— not after spending more than half of his life with him. But... How was he going to tell him?

"MmChann" Baekhyun suddenly murmured, almost sounding like a whisper. Chanyeol was confused; was he still asleep or was the boy waking up now?

"Uh—yeah?" He replied back in a quiet, soft tone just loud enough for Baekhyun to hear him if he was awake.

There was a long pause before—

"Yeollie..." Baekhyun let go of chanyeols shirt and stretched it far out across his chest. "I like you"
