"Pretending"

Nostalgia

Heavy eyelids opened for a moment and Hyungwon realized how cold he was, the covers had him inside a cocoon but his other source of heat the night before was absent and he silently prayed he didn't imagine everything.

His worries were calmed when the sound of his toilet flushing down the hall reached his ears and footsteps became evident as his company returned to bed.

He heard Minhyuk sigh as he got back into the covers, shivering slightly from how different the temperatures were, having his eyes closed he tried to guess whether Minhyuk was facing him or not. He feigned a groan and roll as a test and his cover was dropped when he was met with nothing.

"You really suck at acting," Minhyuk's voice came from a little farther, "Good morning."

Hyungwon let one of his eyelids raise at the greeting, and the sight in front of him was enough encouragement for the other lid to follow. Minhyuk had his head propped on top of his hand and his elbow created elevation for the resting spot. Hyungwon could feel Minhyuk's other hand searching for his and they met halfway. With their fingers laced, Hyungwon responded with a tight squeeze and a lazy smile.

"Coffee?" Minhyuk asked, unlacing their fingers to trace the lines on Hyungwon's palm absently. Hyungwon waited for a moment, almost drifting back to sleep enjoying the feeling of Minhyuk being there with him. After another five seconds, he finally nodded and his warmth was once again gone.

Needing another distraction so his brain could get used to functioning, he checked his phone, checking old messages. Seeing a link Kihyun sent a while ago, he changed the position of his phone to landscape and pressed play.

The opening was a logo and he wondered why Kihyun sent it to him but as the screen changed from the introduction to the actual content a conversation he barely remembered came to mind and grin plastered itself on Hyungwon's face.

The first thing he noticed was the fact Minhyuk was wearing sunglasses in one shot but none in another, raising his eyebrow at the thought of Minhyuk performing it twice. He couldn't keep a small laugh from coming out of his mouth when Minhyuk began to sing. His voice was higher than he usually spoke and Hyungwon reasoned with his age.

He forced his eyes open no matter how much they wanted to look away from the amount of cringe. Keeping his eyes on the past version of his boyfriend he couldn't watch any longer as the glasses were taken off. He threw the phone to another part of the bed but ended up crawling back, wondering what he would do next.

Cutting Minhyuk a bit of slack from the way he was able to move his hips it was only given back when Minhyuk moved towards the runway to hold the mic out to the crowd. Being unable to take anymore he broke into hysterics and the same person he was laughing at came into the room with a worried expression.

"What are you-" Minhyuk heard the familiar noise of a video he's been taunted about too many times. "How did you even find that??"

Hyungwon tried to answer right away but every time he opened his mouth all that could be understood was the sound of "hahahaha"

Minhyuk grabbed a pillow and immediately brought it down onto Hyungwon's open-mouthed face. The latter watched the pillow come closer to his face, giggles creating a late reaction to the slight harm he was about to receive. The pillow was held in place for a while, Minhyuk let up only when Hyungwon's legs began to thrash beneath him.

Heavy breathing resounded through the room and Hyungwon opened his eyes only to grin but held his arms up in front of his face when he saw the pillow raise again. "Okay, okay! I'm done." The pillow returned to the bed without any malice but got picked up again rather harshly when Hyungwon sighed shakily.
