When Love Comes

The Sanghyuk-hug

Wonshik's POV
"It's lights out! You morons..." A guard yelled throughout our section of the prison. He muttered the last part, but it was still pretty loud.

"We aren't the morons!" I answered back at him.

He came over to our cell and looked at us. Then he said, "Fuck.off.you.moron."

I stuck my tongue out at him, which I know was very childish, but I felt like doing that.

The lights turned off and it was completely dark. The only light came from outside, which was either the moon, or in this case, the lightning. Why did I agree to sleep with Taekwoon for tonight? I know I seem like a tough guy and all, but I have emotions and thoughts too! And right now, what I'm thinking, is that we should not be doing this. He has a freaking boyfriend!! I don't want to get in the middle of the or whatever. Well, maybe he's forgotten about me sleeping with him tonight. Perhaps he's already asleep...

*boom*

The thunder went, and lightning followed.

"Wah!!" He screamed a bit. Then he buried his face into his pillow and made sure he couldn't see the lighting.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked him. Why did I even bother??? Gah!!!

"N-no... C-can you-"

"Yeah I'll come down..." I interrupted.

I hopped off the top bunk and squeezed beside him on the bottom bunk. It wasn't the most comfortable position or anything, well let's get real. It wasn't comfortable at all and we were too close together.

He was closer to the wall, and I was closer to the edge of the bed. Both of our backs facing each other, so now we couldn't even see each other's faces. I tried closing my eyes and falling asleep, but he kept twitching and flinching everytime he saw the lighting.

"Oh!!" He reacted. What a wuss...

"Hey. Turn around." I told him.

He listened to me, and turned his face to me. I also did the same, and I could see the terrified expression on his face.

"W-what do you w-want?"

"Do you want me to hold you or anything?" I asked annoyed.

"No! What? I-"

"I can tell you're super freaked out, and me being in this bed doing nothing isn't going to help solve anything. Just tell me what I can do so we can both go to sleep."

"Umm... I-" He started saying, then another flash of light came. "Ah!!" He quickly covered his eyes and started shaking.

I put my hand on his cheek and spoke softly to him. "Taekwoon, don't worry. Just look at me."

He removed his hands from his eyes and stared at me. A tear ran down his face, and I wiped it away.

"T-thanks..." He said.

"Hmm... What can we do? Ah! I got it! Let's talk. At least that way you can get your mind off things." I suggested.

"What should we talk about?" He asked, then made himself more comfortable.

"Umm... What do you like wearing?"

"Well, I like to wear over-sized sweaters..." His soft voice answered.

"Ah okay..." I replied.

"What do you like doing in your spare time, usually..." He asked me.

"Well, I usually like to write songs or practice how to dance. Other times, I just go with what I feel like doing, so I can't really think of it on the top of my head. Why did you choose to be with your boyfriend?"

He looked at me confused, then shook his head. "Well, I chose him and whatnot, because he makes me smile and laugh, even though he is very annoying. He's one of the best things that's happened to me in my life, so I can't really explain that..." Some more tears rolled down his face, and he sniffled a bit.

"Oh no! I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you cry..." I said to him. I must've triggered something about Hakyeon, by bringing him up. Gosh, why am I such an idiot? I should talk about happy things, instead of sad-ish things...

"I-It's okay... I just miss him.." He said, sniffling again.

"Well look on the bright side! The lighting has flashed a few times and you didn't react or anything! That means talking is distracting you and it's working!!"

"Great! Thanks Wonshik..."

"Anytime Taekwoon. Come on, let's talk some more." I told him.

Hakyeon's POV
"... And the weather forecast for tonight is a thunderstorm with light rainfall. Don't forget your umbrellas and-" I switched the television off and curled up on the couch. Sanghyuk had been staying over with me and spending a lot of time with me, ever since Taekwoon was accused and sent to prison.

Thunderstorms are the worst for Taekwoon, he hates the lighting during the storm. One of his biggest fears is lighting, so I have no idea how he's dealing with it... Usually, when they happen and he's with me, we cuddle up in bed and he lays in my arms for once, instead of me laying in his arms. This way he feels that he's more protected and all that good stuff.

Ah Taekwoon... I hope you're alright...

A tear had fallen from my eye, but right after another came rolling down my cheeks. And before I knew it, I was crying. I was crying because of how much I missed Taekwoon. How much I miss his hugs, his laugh, his cooking. Just him in general... It hasn't been that long without him, yet it feels like an eternity.

"Hakyeon? You okay?" Sanghyuk asked me, drying his hair with a towel.

"Y-yeah..." I replied, trying to wipe away the tears as fast as I could without him noticing.

"Hakyeon, I've known you for quite some time now, and I know you aren't okay right now. Is it about Taekwoon?" He walked over in front of my and held my face. Then his eyes stared directly into mine, making me stop crying a bit.

"I just really miss him Sanghyuk... It's hard without him being here and-"

"Don't worry. He'll be home soon, and until he comes home, I'll be by your side. You can tell me anything, you know that right?" He smiled at me.

"Yeah. Thanks Sanghyuk." I reached my arms out and he gave me a hug. It wasn't a Taekwoon-hug, but it was the next best kind of hug I could get; the Sanghyuk-hug.
