You Make My Heart Shake, Bend and Break (BTS/EXO/BAP)

Chapter 3:

Entering his second period class, Baekhyun sits down near the front, close to the window instead of his normal seat near the back, near Daehyun. Taking a quick glance around he finally allows himself to relax when he notices Daehyun hasn't arrived yet. Man, this morning was so awkward. He heard the other call out his name but couldn't summon up enough courage to turn around. Instead he pretended that he didn't hear, but now he can't get over the way his name sounds in that melodic voice. It settles something tight in his stomach that he's not willing to acknowledge just yet, especially after yesterday's spectacle.

The date was almost perfect. Even though the two had barely spoken before, Baekhyun's crush extended back almost two years. Back to when he first saw him on the soccer field playing against Taehyung. He couldn't even say what it was about the boy that stole his attention. Maybe it was the way his laugh rings in circles around his head. Maybe the way the sun reflecting off his glistening body made his mouth dry, or maybe it was heatstroke. He's not quite sure but it's probably a combination of all the above that drew him in. And that was before he saw him dance or show up on a red motorcycle in a leather jacket.

After two years of pining, Baekhyun finally asked him out, with lots of forcefulness from Taehyung and their friends. He was supposed to ask him out for dinner and a movie, but he chickened out the second Daehyun focused his attention on him after his dance practice. How the guy still managed to look so flawless covered in sweat when he himself resembles a drowned rat, he will never understand. Damn attractive people.

His palms were sweating so much he decided to hide them in his sweater, refusing to meet his eyes. God, even his ears were nice to look at. From behind Daehyun he could see Taehyung and their friends hiding behind the practice room door, sending him thumbs up. It didn't reduce the pressure he was under any but he appreciated the encouragement nonetheless.

"It's Baekhyun, right? Tae's brother?" Baekhyun's head snaps up to see a small smirk decorating the younger's face and damn if it didn't look like it belonged there.

"Ah, Y-yes, That's him-I mean-me-I...yes, hi?" Behind Daehyun he watches Taehyung physically face palm himself and Namjoon patting his back in sympathy. There's no way Daehyun doesn't know they're being watched and if he didn't know before, he does now if the series of groans behind him is any indication.

"Are you asking me?" Baekhyun just mumbles under his breath, face heating up with frustration at his inability to speak coherently. He hears the way Daehyun has to force himself not to laugh. Ugh, he's making such a food of himself. "It would seem we have some company." Baekhyun watches in embarrassment as the object of his affections turns around to wave at the boys behind him, laughing out loud as they straighten up and pretend to go about their business. "Anyway, what's up?" He mumbles his apologies for his friends to the floor, focusing on the scuff mark on the side of his shoe.
