I'll Catch You [Lay] for @_THELeiacorn_

Fans flocked to Incheon International Airport to welcome back EXO M who had just come back from Beijing, China. You were no exception as you bustled around your home, preparing a poster you would hold up at the airport to support your personal favourite, Zhang Yi Xing. 

At the airport, you hauled out the bulky poster from the boot of the taxi as you staggered into the building. Being the early bird you always were, you looked around to see the barriers still being set up around the area. Three fangirls were standing near them, the length of their shorts making you wince. It didn't take you a long time to figure out who they were fans of. For example, take the tiny deer keychain on one of the girl's sling bag. Or, the dust cap on another's phone that read, "YEHET!".

Last but not least, you brought your eyes to stare at the computer in the hands of the third girl. Scratched on its cover was the word Yixing. You didn't dare to think anything at that moment, but the word came to your mind inevitably. Sasaengs.

As soon as you were reviewing the time the sasaengs crashed on Baekhyun's brother. Baekbeom's wedding in your head, a fan beside you screamed. That's right, EXO M's private jet had just landed, its wheels kissing the turmac. Waves of fans surged in the airport entrance, holding posters of similar size to yours. Fortunately, you were at the front of the crowd, so it wouldn't be difficult to take pictures.

Disaster struck as soon as your back was turned to retrieve your autograph book which had slipped unto the floor. Someone tapped you on the shoulder and you spun around to meet the cold and steely eyes of the Lay biased sasaeng. At first, you thought, maybe she wanted to borrow something? But then all thoughts were diminished as she snarled, "Yah, you Lay biased?"

You gave a stiff nod and tried to look away, but she darted into your sights again as soon as you attempted to do so. "Let me test your knowledge of EXO. Who is the richest member in EXO K?" She spat, glaring at you menacingly. 

"S-Suho..." You answered. Oh, where was EXO M when you needed them? If they entered the arrival hall, the sasaeng would cease to harrass you. Suddenly, you felt a slap on your cheek, and then the stinging pain. The sasaeng had slapped you, her miserable minions gathered around the two of you, cackling evilly. It made you wonder how the other fans could just stand there or pretend not to have seen anything. 

"No, dearie. Chanyeol is the richest member because he has me. Now, who is the unicorn in EXO? Answer this right, and we'll let you go," You were taken aback. Wasn't she Lay biased? And even if Chanyeol was on her bias list, it didn't make him any richer or any poorer. You were now certain, that even giving the correct answer for the second question wouldn't help you out of this situation. Of course, it didn't hurt trying.

"Lay," You replied defiantly, practically exploding with anger. There was no opportunity to hear what the sasaeng said to that, for you were flailing your arms, falling bellow the barriers. As your feet left the ground within split seconds, you knew that you'd be unconscious, and wake up in the pristine clean hospital. 

Just before you hit the ground hard, someone caught you by the waist. Sighing a heavy sigh of relief, you stood up, legs shaking terribly, to look at your saviour. He had dimples on both sides of his cheeks and his eyes were twinkling like stars. Smiling shyly at you, he used his hand to neaten his hair before helping you pick up your bag and poster. It was Lay. 

Still in shock, you gaped at him as he pressed your belongings into your hands. The EXO M members were directly behind him, giggling at the sight of you staring at Lay. They had obviously seen the poster you had made. Lay, on the other hand, seemed to understand the situation and took your hand. 

"K-Kamsahamnida," That was all you could say as he bowed deeply,kissing your fingertips gently. He muttered incoherently something that sounded like 'fanservice' and moved closer to you, brushing your fringe aside and cupping your ear to whisper something to you. 

"So, I see I'm your bias," You reddened, "But promise me, chingu, that you'll let me catch you, no matter where you fall, arasso?" 

You were about to thank him once again when a security guard sidled up to the two of you and pulled you and your bag and poster away, dragging you towards the exit. You had enough strength to slip one hand out of his grasp and wave goodbye to Lay. He blew a kiss to you and shouted, "I'll catch you!" 

Oh, that day, was your first encounter with sasaengs and their fractured way of thinking. But it was also a day for memories. Whether or not Lay had just been kind enough to give you some fanservice, one thing was certain. He had personalized that message for you. 

Because that day, you fell into the right pair of arms.

I really hope that wasn't too short. Well, that's two fanfictions I've updated today. No one's requested any more one shots these few days, so I just have Sehun and Kyungsoo one shots to do (in order) over the next few days! I can definitely take more requests, so request away! Please don't expect your one shot to be done within two days, it clearly states in the rules, maximum 2 weeks. 

I'll get an early head start on the Sehun one shot. If I somehow finish it, I will post it. Otherwise, see you guys on Monday~ I'll be really busy tomorrow so if I do log on, it will just be to reply my private messages and answer any queries you all might have :)

This one shot has been requested by @_THELeiacorn_
