EXO Fluffs

Love me Forever (Xiumin)

This is dedicated to  @xxSecretChocolatexx who is the first to actually ever request anything.. I tried my best hope you like it :)

It was 1:30 am and you had just started getting comfortable in bed with a good book so you could wait up for your boyfriend Xiumin to get back from practice. The boys were energetically getting ready for their comeback sometime in September. You had gotten into the habit of waiting up for him every time as he came back from the practice room because you loved to see the way his face lit up when you greeted him before shooing him off into the shower so the both of you could sleep until having to start another exhausting day. But none of that bothered you because you had him by your side, with his loving hugs that wrapped you up tight and filled you with warmth, the reassuring smiles that this relationship was going to make it through EXO's next world tour, and that he was absolutely, wildly, in love with you.

Or so you'd like to think.

With a slam of the front door, Xiumin stumbled in exhausted and frustrated after a long day of rehearsals and tossed this duffel bag to the floor and quickly kicked off his shoes and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of painkillers and a water bottle. He had completely forgotten that you were in the habit of staying up and waiting for him and annoyance couldn't help but flash across his face as he saw you excitedly bouncing on the bed anxious to hear about your day. You looked like a desperate puppy who had been left alone all day and he didn't have time to play with you.

"Y/N, go sleep. I don't have the energy to deal with you today." Xiumin started to pick through the drawers so he could get ready for bed and didn't even throw a glance over his shoulder at you.

You couldn't deny the disappointment before quietly muttering, "Oh..oh okay... I guess I'll go to sleep." But you knew you couldn't go to sleep in this state, not when what just had happened was going to bother you for the rest of the day. Xiumin knew that too and braced himself for his ever-so timid girlfriend to show a flash of anger at his rude behavior, but instead he was greeted with even more shyness and uneasiness. 

"Did... Did I do something wrong? I thought you liked it.. well I thought you did when I stayed up to greet you. I was just.. trying to be a good girlfriend to you, if it bothers you I'm.. I'm sorry Xiumin. I'll try better okay?" You nervously shook in place as he squirmed under his scrutinizing gaze.

"SERIOUSLY Y/N? That's why you're apologizing to me? For not being a good enough girlfriend? Do you seriously think that's the problem here? Oh my God I can't deal with this right now. I'm exhausted and I just want to sleep, so can we just do that?"

"What? What.. I'm apologizing, why are you making me feel bad about it? I didn't.. mean to anger you Xiumin. I just wanted to see how your day was and wanted to know how practice was going with the comeback and-"

"Can you PLEASE just shut up Y/N? I'm SO sick and tired of you nagging me and texting me every single minute to see how I'm doing. Do you not know how exhausting it is being a member of EXO? Do you know how tired I am from practicing for eight hours straight? Do you know anything? You know what, I'm gonna go sleep at Baekhyun's... I don't have the energy to argue with you today. We'll talk later okay?"

"Bu..But Xiumin, I'm.. will you try to listen to me?" You whispered to Xiumin's receding figure as he walked out the room and down the stairs. You reached out for him but it was too late, he was already out the door, away from the problem it seemed; you.

You quietly curled up in your cold empty bed and just sat in the darkness replaying the last 45 minutes trying to figure what had gone wrong, you hadn't done anything wrong... You spent the rest of the night quietly crying into the comforter as your heart ached for the one boy who could make it all go away.

The next morning you woke up swollen and sucked dry of all tears, you had even cried in your sleep... over Xiumin. Who had caused the tears. You decided to pull yourself together and washed your face with cold water and got to cleaning around the house. The two of you had let the house get messy with each other's busy schedules getting in the way. You with school, Xiumin with his busy idol schedule the house had suffered the most. You peered around the apartment overflowing with dirty dishes, trash, and messy clothes. The both of you were notorious for being clean freaks but it had been hard with neither of you had weekends to yourself to clean. What the heck, if Xiumin wasn't here to help you, you could manage it by yourself. You enjoyed cleaning anyway.

Blasting EXO's new album, you bopped around the house as you started to clean up to the ever-so catchy rhythm of Koko Bop. You'd be lying if your heart didn't clench a little at the sound of Xiumin's voice over the speakers but you pushed it aside as you finally finished up the living room before moving to the kitchen. You groaned with dismay at the sight of the dirty dishes and the half-eaten dinners you had made for Xiumin every night after practice. You had constantly given him as much love as you could give, you were overflowing with your desire to love your boyfriend whole heartedly yet he didn't seem to appreciate the sentiment one bit... you tried to shake off the feeling that this was the end to an era before dancing to The Eve around the kitchen while you scrubbed off old food from the dishes. You were so absorbed in the music and messing around you didn't hear Xiumin quietly come into the house and watch you lovingly as you danced around. It wasn't until the song stopped that you saw Xiumin leaning against the wall watching you,

"Oh! Xiumin.. you're here!" you were so surprised you accidentally dropped a plate on the ground resulting in shattered pieces littering the kitchen floor all around you.. "Oh crap, ah oh dear there goes a plate." You scrambled to quickly pick up the pieces and accidentally cut yourself on a shard before you heard Xiumin quickly scramble to your side and gracefully pick you up and carry you to the living room.

"Sit, and stay still. I'll go get the first aid kit... You know you're clumsy you shouldn't have touched the broken glass, you got all hurt now!"You heard Xiumin sprint up the stairs and come stumbling down with the first aid kit in hand to wrap your hand.

"I'm.. I'm fine Xiumin, it's just a cut.. Give me a bandaid and grab your stuff so you can get to practice." You shook off his hand and quickly wrapped a bandaid around your hand before heading towards the kitchen to clean your mess. Before you could get far you felt Xiumin's warm hand wrap around yours and pulled you into his embrace. You couldn't help yourself from melting into the hug, Xiumin softly stroked your head as his lips mumbled against your neck apologizing profusely for getting so angry with you.

"Y/N, God I'm.. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you last night. I was just stressed because the choreography wasn't going as well as we had hoped and I just wanted to sleep and I let my anger out on you. You know how much I love you right? And that I appreciate every little thing you do for me. Like cleaning this disastrous house by yourself, cooking for me every night after practice just so I can eat properly, and smiling that beautiful cute smile at me every time I need encouragement... I don't know where I'd be without you, so please forgive me for those awfully harsh words that I don't even mean. Please Y/N.. none of this means anything without you by my side." Xiumin desperately pleaded with you as he tightened his grasp around you, afraid that you'd leave him completely alone.
You carefully pried yourself out of his grip and braced yourself, "I love you Xiumin.. maybe too much, that it causes the both of us to drown in it. I do all these things because I care about you and I'm glad you understand," you paused to carefully graze your thumb over his cheek before smiling, "but boy you're gonna have to pay me back for the rest of our lives for what you made me go through last night. You're gonna be stuck with my crazy over-abundant love and aegyo for the rest of your life at this rate. I forgive you baby, but... please never put me through that again where I question how I love the love of my life."
Xiumin's lips melt against you and heat rushes down your body when you feel your broken heart being put together again. You tangle your hands in his hair and feel him humming against your lips. He pecks the corner of your mouth, kisses your cheek sweetly, buries his nose in your hair. You can feel him relax against you completely, so you bring your arms around his neck and hug him tightly. You stand like this for solid minutes and even though it's just a simple hug, you can't seem to get enough.

Xiumin quietly whispered something in your ear before you flushed bright red...

Love me forever.
