oh frick SEVENTEEN

scoups cuddlez part 2

The sun had gone down, darkening the room. I had been reluctant to turn on the lights so I could wallow in darkness.

I sighed, causing a disruption in the silence. A shudder ran through me, remembering that Seungcheol was behind me, still in the room I was supposed to sleep in, alone.

The bed lowered with his weight as he laid down to sleep, but I continued to stare fervently at the wall.

I bit my lip, feeling his presence behind me. The uneasy but familiar feeling washed over me, just like it did everytime I was around him. I swallowed hard, trying to shove the feeling down somewhere I wouldn't feel it.

I hated the aura he brought. Not Seungcheol himself, he probably was a fine person, but everytime I saw him my body would shut down. My heart raced and my stomach practically ate itself.

Squeezing my eyes shut, I willed away the awful feelings. My lungs filled with a large breath, also filling me with a little courage.

I turned around to see Seungcheol facing me. My heart jolted, but I realized his eyes were closed. My body relaxed, and my eyes landed on his face. I soon found myself staring at him. Seungcheol constantly tense body was peaceful for once.

I generally would watch him from afar, curiously keeping track, but also watching to know when to get out of his way. This was a new experience. I had never seen him so close.

His long lashes laid gently on his cheeks and his full lips were slightly parted. His sleep caused him to breathe deeply, and I watched his chest rise and fall. His arms were wrapped around his blanket, but a small crease in his brow made him seem unsatisfied.

The moon burst through the clouds and let down a bright beam of light. It fell right on Seungcheol, highlighting his soft face and pale cheeks

All of a sudden, something clicked. The feeling in my stomach shifted and all the knots turned into butterflies, and I finally relaxed for the first time since he arrived.

I liked Seungcheol.

That was why I hated him.

I rubbed my eyes as my throat tightened. It all boiled down to that. Those strange feeling had all just been butterflies for a boy. I smiled to myself.

The sheets rustled and I glanced up to see Seungcheol's hand reach for mine. His sleep filled eyes looked up at me, "You need rest, let's sleep," his other hand gently rubbed at his face, seeming almost innocent.

My heart almost melted at his words. I complied and laid down next to him, smiling wider than I probably should. His fingers successfully laced into mine. A smile of satisfaction formed on his face as his long lashed eyes fluttered shut again.

My eyes slowly drooped, but I wasn't able to keep them closed. All I wanted to do was look at Seungcheol, and it truly was becoming a problem I'd now likely face daily.

His face had gone back to a peaceful relaxed state. Not a single tense muscle was evident in his body, but on his lips was a faint smile that set off small sparks in my stomach. The crease in his brow had faded since our hands intertwined, and that made me wonder.

But at this rate, I wouldn't get any sleep at all.

I eventualy gently slid my hand out of Seungcheol's and sat up, getting ready to go downstairs to find a couch where I could sleep in peace, not haunted by the sight of Seungcheol's lashes and cheekbones. A deep breath entered my lungs, readying myself to leave when a pair of arms softly wrapped around my waist. He settled his chin on my shoulder.

He placed an unexpected slow kiss on my neck, and I felt the heat rise on my face, "I said, let's sleep," his husky voice commanded.

I couldn't tell if my heart had stopped or if it was beating too fast for my own good. Taking in uneven breaths, I held my hands over his. Lying down once again, this time with Seungcheol's arms around my waist. It was strangely comforting having his sleepy warmth around me. His grip tightened as he pulled my back to his chest. Soft lips laid on the back of my neck, his nose tickling my hairline. A shy smile grew on my face as I felt my cheeks blush in the dark.

A strange sleepy peace came over me. I relished in the warmth Seungcheol gave, and my eyes finally shut.
