Loving you | Chanbaek

- Eight

Chanyeol stares at the display of his screen, the game loading slowly as his phone is pressed against his ear tightly.

[the day was so exhausting. I kinda looked forward to our gaming session] Baekhyun's voice echoes in Chanyeol's ears as he smiles lightly, looking over at Sehun whose face is still deeply hidden in his book, completely blending out Chanyeol. "I'm glad you asked for another round. I was bored anyway."

A giggle follows as Chanyeol starts the game. [So, while we're playing we could talk a little bit, right?] Chanyeol fishes out his headphones, putting them so that he doesn't need to hold his phone. "Of course."

[What did you do today?]

"Uhm, classes started today so I was basically at school and then returned to the dorm, nothing special. What about you?"

[Oh, My classes start next week. Me and my friend moved out today and some friends came to help us and stuff.]  Chanyeol nods. Right, he wanted to move to New York.

"That's cool. I'm from New York as well."

[Really? Oh my god, that's so nice. Maybe you could like show me your favorite places.]

Like meeting? Chanyeol stays mute for a second, biting his lip as the sounds of his keyboard ghost in the room. [Or maybe not-]

"No, Im sorry. Of course! I'd love to show you my favorite places."

[That's awesome! I have a question] Chanyeol hums as he's busy with killing another player. [Sehun is your friend, right?] Chanyeol stiffens before a game over pops up on his screen, making him sigh in disbelief.

[Wait, why are you dead?]

"Ugh, someone killed me.. Uhm, and ya he's my friend, why?" He looks over at Chanyeol who's eyes are closed by now, deeply drifted into his sleep. [I-I was just asking.] He furrows, starting the game again. Does he have an interest in Sehun?

"Do you like have an interest in hi-"

[Oh no, that's not it. He's just so nice and it confuses me, you know.] Chanyeol bites his lip, saving Baekhyun from another player as his thoughts suddenly drift to Sehun and Baekhyun being in a relationship, which strangely makes kim cringe. That would be weird. "He's a nice person. He's like that to everyone." What? Why did he say that? He's not. Sehun is nice, yes but he isn't like that to everyone, stop Chanyeol. You have to help your friend. "Uhm-"

[Oh, okay. I haven't had a relationship for like 2 years and get confused by things like that.] Chanyeol sighs, looking at his friends direction. I'm sorry. [It's not that I'm desperate or anything but having someone by your side doesn't seem bad at all. Everyone needs love right?]

"ya, I guess." Chanyeol sighs as they both lose, a game over appearing again. [Oh sorry, I was a little bit distracted I guess.]

"No, it's fine." A silence follows before Baekhyun's voice appeares on the other line again. [Do you want to FaceTime? I'm like really bored right now and we keep losing anyway. We don't have enough energy today  I guess.] Chanyeol laughs, thinking about Baekhyun's idea. He would but his hair looks like shit. Wait, why does he even care? "Sure."

[Perfect. Can you call me in like 5 minutes?] Chanyeol hums a quiet "yes" before hanging up as he grabs Sehun's cap, which is placed on his night table, shoving it on his head. Way better.
