Shifting Socks

Spearmint

The food court was colder than sanhas hospital room, and his pale fingers desperately clutched onto marks blue scrubs. "Hey, hey calm down doll face, it's okay." the older dirty blond man smiled. "I don't want to shift." the younger sunset haired boy stammered out holding fast to marks side. Mark smiled widely before hugging sanha close and tight. The scent of spearmint pelted sanhas nostrils, a burning sensation cooled over his button like nose. Once the sensation faded away smells from the farthest ends of the room became apparent. Sanha hated the smell of canned pears. He quickly slapped a hand over his nose, which twiched soft and pink under his palm. Mark chuckled at the action. " what are you doing?" he questioned shortly after. Sanha paused and reached up with his free hand to feel about his head. "Only my nose shifted" he replied his voice slightly higher in pitched but still hushed to a whisper. Mark let another wholesome laugh erupt from within him before looking down at the young porcelain boy. Lifting his tan hands, mark swatted sanhas away placing his larger palm over the soft twitching bit of sanhas nose. Yet another laugh left the giggle happy nurse as the youngers nose tickled at his palm. "What do i smell like? Eunwoo said you can smell people." sanha immediately shifted the wiggly rabbit nose away, his pupils blown wide at the handsome nurse in front of him. "Spearmint." he breathed swattin the tan hand away. Connecting his line of sight with Marks coffee hued eyes only for a moment. "Warm spearmint." he repeated mostly to himself as the older grabbed his hand. Guiding him deeper into the canteen, weaving them through tables while babbling about how. "Spearmint is a really nice scent." And that he. "Must smell nice."

When sanha closed his eyes letting the sweet smell of lemon drop cascade around him. The strange ambiance of warm spearmint slowly kissed at his cheeks and under the cupids bow of his top lip, mark gently sighed into his left ear. He could nearly hear both of the men's heart calm heartbeats in the pure silence of the room. Ever so calmly he held his breath, focusing on the soft twitching ears on his head followed by the still cotton-like tail on his bum. Finishing with the soft pink wiggling nose, the room became quieter. The scents dulled away, antiseptic becoming a stronger scent. Sanha saged letting his back lean into marks chest. "Do you want to go to the food court now?" mark quietly asked, earning himself a smack from eunwoo.

By the time Eunwoo made it out to the food court to retrieve sanha, Mark was sure he had fallen in love. Sanha was a gentle creature, who half shifted when startled and chortled about how much he loved animals. Eunwoo arrived with two coffees and one carton strawberry milk. He quickly jutted the coffee out to mark while speaking softly to sanha. "I'm off my shift lets get your stuff and take you home. Yea?" Mark sipped his coffee, soft brown eyes following eunwoos hand as it passed sanha the milk. The younger boy nodded stabbing the straw into the top of the box of milk, quickly he sipped it his eyes looking over eunwoo. He was slightly disheveled bags tucked under his eyes, though oddly enough it suited him. Sanhas trance was broke by marks sudden sharp whine. "Right now??" the clear skinned nurse whined leaning on the table making grabby hands at the younger boy. "Yea right now." Eunwoo said blankly locking eyes with Mark. "Aishhhh, no fair i like him!" The older boy whined grabbing sanhas hands, earning a plaintive cry from the youth who was attempting to drink his milk. Mark quickly let go shuffling about he snagged a pen from eunwoo's lab coat, his other hand reaching for a napkin he quickly jotted down his number. Earning a quizzical look from Eunwoo. "Please keep in touch you bratt." he smiled brightly. Sanhas cheeks instantly set ablaze, these boys were going to be the death of him. He had never met so many friends at once, with a smile of his own he took the fragile napkin from the older gently stuffing it into his pocket "i'll call once my phone is charged, i promise." with those final words of parting he followed eunwoo out of the food court.
