❝paper moon❞ renhyuck

❝five❞

❝hyuck, you don't understand.❞

❝renjun, I can put both my hands around your thigh so that my fingers  touch, look.❞

Donghyuck hesitated to make skinship with the smaller at first, but did so anyway. Anything to make the darling realize what's his condition.

He wrapped his hands around Renjun's thigh and he succeeded. Hyuck's hands went perfectly around the other's leg, almost as a ring on a finger.

❝if you were to do that to me, there would probably be a gap between both your hands, where they should meet.❞

Donghyuck was right. Renjun's slim hands didn't fit to wrap around Hyuck's thigh, so eventually he tried to do the gesture on his own. Then his fingers almost touched, yet there was still a gap between them.

❝can you see the difference now?❞

Donghyuck had high hopes. He really wished that he would've been able to change Renjun's mind about himself, but anorexia wasn't that easily to be cleared.

When Hyuck looked up to look at Renjun, he was faced with a boy, who was in tears once again.

With out any second thoughts, the brunet hugged him. It hurt to see him unhappy, even if the red face painted him to look more lively, it's wasn't the nicest view.

❝i'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done any of that to prove a point. I'm sorry that I told you all of that.❞

The boy in his hands only weeped.

The sad sounds died down without Hyuck's notice. The boy in his embrace had fallen asleep, tears staining his cheeks. The scene became more pure when they both fell in the soft sheets into dreamland.

The twinkling snow was now black, identical to glitter. Renjun lied there in daze. Clouds above him were actual cotton, the Sun painting it pink. Trees that were once bare, were now full of dead flowers, as they were tied to the branches, giving them life.

The sun itself was a piece of glass,reflecting the light that came from void. Even if the space he was in didn't make sense, Renjun wouldn't care less, but he felt as if something was missing. The feeling bothered him. The sudden emptiness didn't let him enjoy what he saw.

Warmth filled Renjun as the glittering snow sucked him in. He felt as if snow had hands- it hugged him with the kindest gesture. The love he caught was unbearably filling. The feeling of something missing disappeared. So suddenly Renjun had everything. He could've even danced the Nutcracker.

Then it got cold.

Renjun opened his eyes and he was met with darkness. He sat up and looked at the empty space next to him. Didn’t he fall asleep with Donghyuck?

The thought was cleared as soon as Hyuck appeared with a blanket that belonged to Renjun.

❝go back to sleep, it's too early.❞

❝what time is it exactly?❞

Donghyuck set the blanket on Renjun and limped towards his spot on the shared bed before answering.

❝almost five.❞

Renjun helped the other settle in and they just looked at each other through the curtain-like darknessz which was folded between them.

❝am I really like that?❞

The boy asked out of the blue. Donghyuck didn't understand what Renjun meant at first, but then it hit him:

❝let's not worry about that right now, let's sleep.❞

Renjun obeyed and closed hi eyes, needing to see the and feel the same dream he experienced before. He wanted to dance on the cotton clouds even just once, to get the ecstasy.

Hyuck stayed up. The pain in his lower back and groin was awful, he thought about calling the nurse, but decided to let Renjun rest, as the other certainly needed it.

As hours went by it got lighter outside. The sun came out, laying its rays inside the dull hospital room.

Donghyuck couldn't help but glance at the Renjun at times, the boy made him feel special. Maybe it was because he had let him sleep next to him even if they didn't have the most pleasant night out of them all. Hyuck truly hoped that Renjun would be okay after visiting Dr Moon.

This isn't proofread so it can feel a bit rough and raw in a way, but that's okay, also sorry about it being short.
Also the next chapter will be about Renjun's visit to the therapist, so stay tuned  ,,,
