Matchmaker K - S01E15 [The Good Dinosaur]

"Let's go!" Xiumin abruptly grabs Amber's hand, pulling her towards the vacant practice room without any warning in advance.

"Yah! What are you doing?" Amber voices her surprise but doesn't protest outright.

"You'll see," Xiumin smirks as he observes her frantic expression, dragging her into the empty room.

Instinctively, he turns on only one of the lights in the room, illuminating it only dimly. He knew exactly how to operate the lighting because of his long hours training in the room.

"Are you going to practice now?" Amber questions him but he shakes his head and makes her sit down on the sofa at the lightly lit end of the room.

Xiumin walks over to the controls and pushes a few buttons. A screen slides down at the opposite end of the room and the projector lights up. After a few moments, the screen shows the opening to a movie.

"I thought an animated movie would be fun," Xiumin says as he smiles at Amber and makes his way to sit next to her on the conveniently small couch.

"We're watching a movie?" Amber blinks warily but then sits back comfortably into the sofa.

As the movie plays on, Xiumin scoots over beside Amber, narrowing the gap between them. Amber is focusing too intently on the screen to notice Xiumin leaning against her. Half-way through the movie, he rest his head on her shoulder but she doesn't make a move to shake him off whatsoever. Xiumin smirks at his own success.

"Are you crying?" Xiumin asks her the moment he hears her sniffle.

"I'm not!" She replies instantaneously but the tears are already trailing down her face.

"I cried because of this movie too," Xiumin mentions in an attempt to make her feel better.

"Shush," Amber hushes him and Xiumin finds that he is unable to stop himself from wrapping his arms around her. He pats her shoulders gently and lets her relax.

"Aigoo," Xiumin sighs and lets her go. "Maybe I should have picked a different movie if I had known you were going to ball your eyes out."

"No! I just got something in my eye," she retorts.

"You're so cute," Xiumin comments and scoots back to his original position. He yawns and Amber immediately notices it, relating to the nature of their schedules.

"Did you have an early schedule today?" She asks him, knowingly.

"Yeah, Music Bank at 3am." Xiumin yawns again and stretches his arms upwards.

"Sleep," Amber tells him.

Complying to her wishes, Xiumin lies down with his head in Amber's lap to her surprise. He smirks gently and shuts his eyes, folding his arms and immediately dozing off.

Amber watches his peacefully sleeping face. She brings her fingers down slowly to his face, brushing strands of his mocha-colored hair away. He breathes softly in deep sleep, his face relaxing naturally at her touch.

Xiumin opens his eyes, looking up to see Amber's sleeping face. He breaks out in the a smile and sits up slowly, careful not to wake her up. He then shifts her so the her head rests on his shoulders. He watches her as she stirs slightly and wrinkles her nose, causing him to have to hold back a chuckle.

Amber opens her eyes, blinking several times to adjust her vision. The practice room was dimly lit by the light of the sun.

"Rise and shine," Xiumin greets her.

"It's morning?" Amber rubs her eyes sleepily as she moves her weight  off of Xiumin.

Xiumin nods and stands up, turning his body back and forth to relieve the strain. 

"You sure slept well," he says to her while grinning.

"I'm so sorry," Amber apologizes, seeing him stretch.

"It's okay," he assures her.

"Sit down," Amber tells him and pats the seat beside her.

Xiumin does as told and Amber reaches for his shoulders, turning his back to face her as she proceeds to give him a massage.

"Ya!" Xiumin exclaims, his eyes widening from surprise. "What are you doing?"

"Just hold still!" Amber scold hims and continues to mold her thumbs into his shoulder. 

Xiumin relaxes at her ministrations and remains quiet for the whole duration of it. When Amber stops and takes her hands away, he sits completely still for a while longer. After a long while of silence, he finally speaks up.

"Is that it?" He asks.

"Does it still hurt?" Amber blinks at him curiously. "I can continue if you want."

"No, no, no," he repeats to assure her. "I'm fine, really.

Amber shrugs and gets up to stretch her own legs and arms. Xiumin watches her a little dazedly. She catches him staring and leans her head in to question him, but without any warning he grabs her wrists and pulls her down onto his lap. Amber inhales sharply, taken aback but Xiumin doesn't notice. 

He cups her chin with his fingers and brings his lips to hers gently. Her eyes widen and then the camera is blinded by Xiumin's other hand. 

The screen is then forced to black out, the succeeding events becoming a mystery to everyone but the two.

A/N: I'm so sorry it's short and unedited. I was so busy but I had a miraculous flow towards the end of the chapter... Hopefully the cheese satisfies an inkling of your desires? 

We're almost at the end. Bare with me. 

And please, do give me clues to what you desire or even a snapshot of your imagination. I write to satisfy my own imagination and if your ideas inspire my imagination then I will greatly appreciate it. *-* Who else is ready for cheese?
