All the NCT members had just come back from an intense practice. They were all dripping with sweat. As they reached the showers, they did Rock Paper Scissors to decide who would shower first. Ten, Jaehyun, and Yuta would go first.
Ten finished his shower and walked out with a towel drying his wet hair. He was wearing gray basketball shorts and a black shirt. He opened the door and saw Johnny waiting outside, still drenched in sweat with his clothes and a clean towel and clothes in his arms. Ten had used all his willpower to not just stand and stare at Johnny's beauty.
"...you gonna move or what?" Johnny suddenly asked, making Ten snap out of his trance and step aside for him. Then, Ten got an idea.
"Hey, you should keep the door open. That way, the steam can escape," Ten suggested. Just as he expected, Johnny kept the door ajar. Ten waited until he could hear him turn on the shower and walk in, and then he went through with his plan. He slowly opened the door and walked inside. He spotted Johnny's towel on the counter and carefully grabbed it. He sneakily left the bathroom.
Ten walked into his bedroom. He shared it with WinWin, Taeil, and, of course, Johnny. He walked to his bunk bed, which he shared with WinWin, and bent down on his knees next to it. Holding the towel close to his chest, he shimmied under the bed. The idea was to hide the towel from Johnny, and (hopefully) he would come looking for it. The reason he wanted to do this was that he liked Johnny, but he was too afraid to tell him. He thought that if he tried to make the first move, Johnny would start to treat him like more than a friend.
After 15 minutes or so, Ten heard the bathroom door close. He smiled to himself and peeked from under the bed. From there he could faintly hear the sound of footsteps becoming quieter as Johnny left the bathroom. Ten felt accomplished, as if he had succeeded in fooling the other. But out of nowhere, he heard the bedroom door creak open.
Ten held his breath, his heart practically beating out of his chest. He could hear Johnny's footsteps coming closer to the beds. Ten looked out and he saw that Johnny was still dripping. He looked up and saw that he was only wearing his shorts. His hair was still wet and he was shirtless. Again, Ten found it hard to prevent himself from staring. Johnny's footsteps came closer and closer to the bed. Ten was so anxious he could explode. Then, Ten saw a face appear in front of him. Johnny had a bright smile on his face and his bangs were sticking to his forehead.
"Found you," he said in a low, smooth voice that made Ten's insides turn to mush. He could feel his cheeks heating up and he hoped he wasn't blushing too hard. He must've looked so awkward at that moment, squished between the floor and the bed bottom. He squirmed out from under the bed and stood up, fixing his hair. He shyly held out the towel to Johnny.
"Here," he muttered in a soft voice, looking at the floor so he wouldn't have to look at Johnny, who was still wet and shirtless. Johnny took the towel, but immediately dropped it on the floor, much to Ten's surprise. Suddenly, Johnny took a big step towards him, closing the gap between them in an instant. Ten could feel his entire face burning up. He could feel Johnny's hot breath on his face, his long arms snaking around his waist. Ten looked up at Johnny. He was staring right back at him. Johnny looked stunning at that moment, and Ten couldn't stop himself this time from just staring in awe. Johnny started to close his eyes and lean towards and Ten felt frozen. He closed his eyes too, expecting something to happen.
"Haha, you're so gullible, it's adorable," Johnny cackled, leaving Ten feeling embarrassed.
"H-hey! You jerk," Ten yelled back, lightly punching Johnny's arm. Johnny pretended to be hurt, making Ten laugh. Johnny went to the bathroom to finish changing, leaving Ten alone in the bedroom.
"Oh my flop, what was that?!?? Does he like me back?!??" Ten thought. His thoughts were flying around his head wildly. He decided to save it for another time and he walked into the living room. Somehow, Johnny was already there, sitting on the couch. He saw Ten standing there so he smiled and patted the spot next to him. Ten walked over cautiously and sat down, trying not to make eye contact with Johnny. It didn't help that the tall boy was staring lasers into the side of his head. He eventually turned to face the other. He was, surprisingly, still staring at Ten. He was smiling like a fool and Ten smiled back. Ten had always loved Johnny for being childish. In fact, he loved everything about Johnny.
Little did he know Johnny loved him back.
