"The irony of feeling small when I am over six feet tall had you sold on me."

Bry "Your Life Over Mine"

They're lost. They're lost in the forest and Minho is doing his best to calm his worried boyfriend because little boys worry and big boys apparently kiss their foreheads and reassure them of a solution.

"Minho." Taemin starts to cry. Minho closes his eyes for a second to gather himself. "Minho," Taemin repeats with tears rolling from his eyes and down his beautiful cheeks, flustered from the panicked situation. "We're lost."

"Calm down baby. Calm down Tae." Minho has him in a strong embrace, caressing his hair lovingly. Taemin sobs into Minho's chest. "Relax. There's an edge to the forest. We'll get out. Besides, it's good to get lost sometimes." Taemin calms down in the arms of his caring boyfriend. The heat radiating from him gives a certain feeling of security.

"I'm scared," Taemin's voice is shaky.

"We'll find a way out."

"It's not that... It's the bugs Minho." Minho laughs. He can't help it. He laughs as his boyfriend is crying in his arms. He laughs, but he laughs warmly. He laughs in a way that makes Taemin feel not only annoyed but safe too. He can't help but smile against the soft fabric of Minho's shirt. Minho runs his hand down Taemin's spine. The little boy is reassured and the big boy is ready to get him a solution.

Minho grabs a tight hold of Taemin's hand and they walk. It doesn't take long for Taemin's worn feet to make him speak up.

"How long has it been, Minho?"

"We've been out here for somewhere between two and three hours." Minho doesn't want to know the exact number. Even he has started to worry but he shuts up about it because big boys keep their cool when the little boys can't. "Are you tired?" Taemin nods. They stop. "We should sit for a second." Minho sits in the dirt between twigs and fallen leaves. Taemin hesitates for a moment before placing himself between Minho's two legs, his back against Minho's hard chest, touching the velvety skin of his bare arms with his comfortably daring fingers.

"I was thinking before..." Minho hums as he brings his water bottle into Taemin's hands. He gulps some down. Minho does the same. "I was thinking... If we never get out of here I could definitely live with the bugs because I have you."

"Because you know I'll kill them if you cry out about them?" Minho raises an eyebrow and chuckles at the sweet boy leaning on him.

"Maybe." Taemin turns to send Minho a smile he can only describe as mischievous and awaiting. "You know... It wouldn't bother me that much. It kind of reminds me of shooting the video for "View". The idea of escaping to somewhere, where our rules are the only ones that apply. To top it off it would be with the people I love the most. Like right now. I love you Minho." Minho shakes his head. Taemin sends him another mischievously provocative smile.

"I love you too, crazy forest child." Taemin shakes his head as he laughs the laughter of a little boy. Minho chuckles like a big boy. Minho kisses the nape of his neck like a big boy. Taemin turns his head and brings his lips onto the full, round lips of Minho. This is not something little boys do much, but sometimes little boys grow up by the touch of a big boy. Minho cannot resist, as expected of a big boy who is in love with a little boy with big boy tendencies.
