Let go(TAorisONESHOT)

Broken promises

Joonmyun had told the others to go easy on him to begin with. Sure this was hurting the members, but it was hurting Tao the

most.

He would deny it, tell everyone there was nothing wrong and that he was completely fine. However his actions told them

otherwise; how he would sit there in the dorm staring at the door waiting for it to open and reveal him, how he would spend some

nights sat up in bed waiting, waiting for someone to come and lie down next to him like they always did.

The others were able to accept the facts and move on. They wanted to move on, but with Tao's actions constantly reminding

them of what had happened it was too difficult to do so.

"It's been almost two months now, surely he can just let it all go now" Baekhyun muttered one day, he and Kyungsoo watching

from the kitchen as Tao sat there with his eyes glued to the door.

"I know" Kyungsoo said moving around Baekhyun and cleaning the kitchen to keep himself busy

"But you know for a fact that if this happened with Chanyeol you would probably be the same. Just give him time and go easy on

him like Joonmyun said to, he'll come around eventually" but he shared the same doubt as Baekhyun; was Tao going to be able to

move on?

Hey, you've reached Kris. If I'm not answering then obviously I'm busy, so leave a message and I'll call you when I can

Some nights Tao would keep on ringing his phone just to hear his voice. He would call it three, four maybe even five times just to

hear that voice he had come to love so much. He needed it for the comfort, the reassurance. Tonight though, tonight was

different.

"W-what's taking you so long?" he asked, voice shaking

"I'm here waiting for you, and yet you haven't shown up. The others, they're saying to just let go and move on... but you

promised me, you said that you would be back soon. I'm waiting... where are-"

He couldn't say anymore. The stupid answering machine wouldn't let him and with that Tao took it as his cue to get ready to go to

bed.

"Lights out TaoTao" Yixing said, sighing as he walked in to find Tao sat up in bed

"Yeah I'll go to bed soon I've got to wait for-" but Yixing wouldn't let him finish his sentence. Instead he marched over to Tao's

bed and pushed him so he would lie down.

"What are you doing?" Tao asked

"Tao, you look shattered and you need a good nights sleep" but Tao couldn't sleep. He had to sit up and wait for Kris to come in,

he wanted to be awake so he could cuddle up to him and fall asleep in his arms.

"B-but I need to stay up. I need to stay up and wait for Kris" he replied. Yixing wanted to tell him to stop. Tao needed to stop.

This was taking everything out of him and he was slowly degrading into the shell of the man he once was. He wanted to tell Tao

he had to let go and move on, but Joonmyun was always constant prescence telling everyone to give Tao time. For now, for now

he would just have to play along.

"Look Tao you need to rest. Do you really think Kris is going to be happy if he walks in and see's you staying up in the state
