GLITTER

"why doesn't he have pants on." is the first thing jongdae said as both men walked into the shop with captivated eyes. baekhyun holding onto sehun like a cane as his knees wobbled. feet flopping in sandals too big for his size.

he was wearing the same shirt he put on earlier and boxers that were loose enough to not outline anything (thankfully).

sehun shrugged, scratching his neck with his glasses sliding off his nose. "he didn't want to wear them and they're too big for him anyway."

"and my legs are... pretty." baekhyun added, a smile on his face as stuck out a leg. he flexed his foot and skinny smooth skin shone under the lights. there was a black spot just above his knee the size of a thumb, other small beauty marks littering his skin. sehun mindlessly thought about finding all the spots on baekhyun's body— there had to be many more.

jongdae laughed. "i'm glad you like your body, baekhyun."

the puppy nodded. "i do! and i butchered this place!"

"...i think you mean something else, baekhyun." jongdae laughed again.

baekhyun scrunched his nose. "yeah... that didn't really... sound right? i need to use another word."

"is it 'missed'?"

the puppy lit up. "yes! i missed this place! grandma told me about it!"

something shifted in the air; jongdae's bright expression melting into something more serious. "i'm glad you missed it. but we really need to talk about what you just said right now."

baekhyun pursed his lips, pretty fingers pressing against the soft skin. "is the right word 'gunman'?"

sehun was ready to burst out laughing, eyes meeting jongdae's and feeling his urge disappear. the man looked at the puppy with consideration.

"that actually might be more accurate."
