Sanctuary | Chanbaek (2)

Five

"Wake up! You still have a job to go to, you know."

Baekhyun lifted his head from Chanyeol's chest, "I'm exhausted."

"Me too, buddy."

Chanyeol was still fast asleep. Baekhyun smiled, he was so cute when he slept.

"So, I figured it out. It's Chanyeol."

"What's Chanyeol?" Baekhyun sat at the breakfast bar.

"He's like your boyfriend or whatever, I don't know, but I saw you kiss him last night."

"Don't be mad," Baekhyun's hands were starting to shake, "Please don't be mad."

"Hey, it's alright, I'm not mad," DJ started something for breakfast, "It's okay with me, just keep in mind that relationships can be temporary, and you two will be living in the same house for a few years at least."

"Chanyeol and I won't break up. He's more than just a boyfriend to me. I need him, he's my other half."

"You seem certain."

"I am certain."

"Baekhyun, where are you?" Chanyeol woke up with messy hair and a grumpy look on his face.

"I'm over here."

"Can you help me work the shower?"

"Yeah," Baekhyun led Chanyeol into the bathroom and showed him exactly where everything was, "Please don't slip."

"I know how to take a shower, now get out," Chanyeol pushed him out.

"What are you making?" Baekhyun wandered back to the breakfast bar.

"I don't really know, just throwing some stuff together, that's how I always make food."

"Well, it works out."

"Yeah, I need to go grocery shopping though, need more snacks for you two."

"You don't have to do that."

"I kind of do, have you seen how skinny you've gotten?"

"I didn't really notice," Baekhyun hadn't noticed himself getting skinnier, he noticed that Chanyeol was though.

"Regardless, it wouldn't hurt if you two ate more."

Baekhyun nodded as Chanyeol came out of the bathroom, "That was so nice! I could've stayed in there all day."

"Yeah, but then you would be a prune, Channie."

Chanyeol sat next to Baekhyun, "Hey DJ, do you think you could prune to death?"

"We had a pool in my backyard when I was little. I think I almost pruned to death," I said.

"Aw, DJ, why don't you have a pool?"

"I never needed one," He set plates in front of Chanyeol and Baekhyun.

"I can't believe this still. It feels like I'm in a dream."

"I'm glad," DJ smiled, then started to panic when he looked up at the clock, "Oh! We have to go, you can eat in the car."

"I haven't taken a shower though," Baekhyun whined.

"Spray some cologne, it's like a shower in a can."

"That's terrible advice, I'm taking a shower," He ran into the bathroom before DJ could catch him. Baekhyun took forever in the shower too, nobody else understood why but him. Nobody knew if you cried in the shower. He still felt like it was wrong for him to be in a home that wasn't where he was meant to be. The door to the bathroom opened, "Don't come in."

"It's me, Baekhyun. I told DJ that we could walk to work."

"I don't want to go," Baekhyun hugged his knees to his chest, he believed sitting in the shower was the only way to shower, "Now, get out, I'm naked."

"I'm still blind."

"I don't want you in here."

"Are you okay, Baek?"

"I'm fine! Get out!" He snapped. He didn't understand how he could be fine one moment then crying the next.

"Just talk to me. What's wrong?"

"You'll never understand, Chanyeol."

"No, I won't ever understand. That doesn't mean I don't care about you. Just because I don't understand doesn't change that I love you. I'll love you even when you're not happy, Baekhyun, because you're the first one to ever accept me."

Baekhyun wanted to scream that he loved Chanyeol too, but it scared him so much, "You're the first one to ever accept me too."

"Okay, now get out," Chanyeol's fingers wrapped around Baekhyun's wet arm, "You're going to dissolve."

"Don't touch me when I'm naked! It's sexual!" Baekhyun slapped Chanyeol's hand away. He didn't even know how two boys would have sex, or if they even could. He knew a little about how a man and a woman would have sex, from school and from hearing his older brother and his friends talk.

Chanyeol giggled, "It's just your arm though, right? Unless I just grabbed your dick by accident."

Baekhyun didn't find Chanyeol's perverted jokes funny, they just made him blush from ear to ear. He pushed Chanyeol out of the bathroom and locked the door.

"I was just kidding!"

"I just don't want you in here while I'm naked it's weird," Baekhyun felt weird down there again. What did Chanyeol call it? Getting hard? He didn't know why he sometimes felt that, but he kind of liked the feeling. He dried himself off and got dressed, "Chanyeol?"

"What?" Chanyeol was sprawled out on the couch.

"Don't make fun of me for asking this," Baekhyun hesitated, "Why do I get hard?"

Chanyeol held in a laugh, he wanted to laugh so bad it made his chest hurt. Baekhyun's innocence was just so cute and hilarious, "Um, well, it happens when you get turned on, or aroused, however, you want to put it."

"How do you get turned on though?"

Chanyeol couldn't help but laugh now.

"Don't make fun of me! I just wanted to know!"

"Sorry, Baek," Chanyeol got his laughing under control, "It happens when you're in a sexual situation, or if you imagine a sexual situation."

"H-how do I get rid of it?"

"You wait for it to go away or you touch yourself or have somebody else touch you."

Baekhyun squirmed uncomfortably, "That's just for adults though, isn't it?"

"Well, not necessarily," Chanyeol smiled, "Teenagers do it too sometimes."

"Okay, but, I think we should wait until we're adults though."

"That's fine. I don't know how boys have sex anyways."

"Me neither, let's just go to work, okay? I don't want to talk about this anymore."
