WONTAEK DRABBLES.

(02) Self- Conscious.

Lately Leo been distancing himself from the members and most importantly: Ravi.

Everyone was quite confused and Ravi couldn't think a single reason for his boyfriend's sudden distance.

He decided to respect Leo's decision and give him a little space. He thought it might be best to approach Leo gradually and not provoke him.

It was on a Sunday night when Ravi arrived at the dorm first. The rest were still at their individual schedule and Ravi knew that it'll be late when they arrive.

Leo walked out and froze upon seeing Ravi by the doorway.

Ravi slowly examined his boyfriend head to toe. He was wearing a huge oversized blue sweater and pajama pants. Being a careful observer, he knew that Leo only tend to wear oversized clothes when he was upset over something.

They remained like that for precisely three minutes, eyes meeting each other's in a tense silence.

Leo broke the contact, looking away from the warm brown eyes.

He shuffled away to his room, leaving Ravi in silence.

Ravi put his things away and proceeded to shower and remove the heavy makeup that was applied for his photoshoot.

Once he appeared clean and fresh, he changed into a large red hoodie and pajama pants, the hoodie soft from being rewashed multiple times.

He knocked on the door, hoping for some kind of response from the latter. When he received none, Ravi sighed before entering.

He was greeted by darkness and Leo, who was on the bed buried under layers of blankets.

He got onto the bed and crawled beside Leo.

"Hey." He murmured, wrapping his limbs around his older boyfriend's waist.

He received no response except a small sniffle.

"Kitten, what's wrong?" Ravi whispered, softly running his hand across Leo's velvet black hair.

There was shuffling and Leo turned to face Ravi.

Ravi's heart broke from seeing Leo's fragile state. His pretty eyes were red and puffy, tear tracks evidentially visible on his chubby cheeks. His lower lip was jutting in a sad pout, nose and cheeks a bright red.

"Aigoo, what's wrong, baby?" Ravi soothed, gathering the sniffling boy in his arms, patting his back to comfort him.

Leo gripped onto Ravi's hoodie, tightly fisting the fabric as hot tears spilled once again from his eyes. He hiccupped and buried his face in Ravi's neck as sobs racked his body again, shoulders trembling violently.

"Shh... it's okay. I'm here.." Ravi shushed, doing his best to calm the sobbing boy, who was crying silently.

Once Leo managed to master his overflowing tears, he pulled away.

Ravi cupped Leo's face, wiping the remaining tears away with his thumbs.

"Tell me, is it the haters?" Ravi asked, staring intently.

Leo parted his lips to reply but hesitated. He opted to nod, not trusting his own voice.

"Don't believe them. If they say mean things to you just ignore them. You're perfect just the way you are..." Ravi said, smiling softly.

"Wonshik-...." Leo started.

"No. Don't stop me. People who say such things are just jealous that you have potential and they don't. Please don't let those insults get to you. I... I love you for how you are. Never forget that." Ravi finished, a few stray tears escaping his eyes.

Tears once again collared Leo's cheeks. He felt deeply touched by Ravi's words. All those negative feelings just... vanished when he said that.

"Wonshik, I... thank you.." Leo whispered, his hands coming to hold Ravi's wrists to anchor that warm touch.

Ravi smiled in reply and the duo cuddled, whispering sweet nothings to each other. Many "I love you."s exchanged between them. They dozed off together, hands and hearts connected.
