GLOW-UP

"do you guys have to do couple costumes?" yuta complained as he looked on at taeil and sicheng in distaste.

"it's cute!" sicheng objected, and the way he said it was so cute yuta had to bite back his own jealousy and shut up about it.

yeah, it was totally cute when your adorable secret boyfriend decided to play couple dress up with another guy.

"um... sichengie, can you do me up?" taeil asked, currently getting into a bit of a state with the yellow beauty and the beast gown he'd donned for halloween.

"sure, hyung!" sicheng agreed, and yuta had to watch the chinese boy's slender fingers work their way deftly up taeil's back, doing up each and every button securely.

fuck, he'd be undoing the buttons on sicheng's shirt that night if they hadn't been invited to that stupid party.

"there you go, hyung," sicheng said, patting taeil's back and then going on to fix the older's long brown wig.

"do we have to go?" yuta huffed under his breath, folding his arms across his bare chest as he leaned against the doorframe. it wasn't like he was anywhere near ready to go anyway, dressed sloppily in sweatpants and sailor moon slippers.

taeil spun around in his desk chair, eyes pleading. "i can't go by myself," he mumbled worriedly, gripping onto the back of the chair instead of biting his lips and ruining the gloss. "please come?"

"of course we're coming," sicheng assured him, turning taeil back around to the mirror he'd set up on his desk. he turned back to shoot a meaningful look at yuta that said 'we'll talk about this privately'.

"i'd rather stay home and watch anime," yuta grumbled to himself.

there were a lot of things he would rather do: extra hockey practise until every muscle was sore and aching, death note marathons all night so that his eyes stung in the morning, sneaking around with sicheng and making him scream his name behind closed doors. that particular list did not include attending halloween parties on sunday nights with his oblivious housemate who was too naïve to see what was right in front of him. what was the point of going anyway? house parties were supposed to be fun, and not being able to show affection to his boyfriend in public didn't really seem like a whole lot of fun to nakamoto yuta.

on top of all that, seeing sicheng all dressed up as taeil's beast was really grating on his nerves.

sicheng stood up then, blonde hair swishing at the sudden motion. "yuta hyung?" he asked cutely, "can you help me find my shoes?"

yuta could've kissed him right there and then, sicheng was so adorable. his lips parted as his chest heaved in longing, and the younger boy led him out into the hall, untangling his folded arms and curling his fingers around yuta's wrist.

"sichengie..."

the moment they reached sicheng's room, the door swung shut and yuta was lifting the chinese boy by the thighs and pressing him into the wall, kissing the exposed part of his neck instead of his halloween-ready face. sicheng let out a muffled moan and arched his back, wrapping his legs around yuta's hips, hands travelling over the expanse of yuta's bare shoulders and chest, before threading his fingers through his hair.

"stop," he breathed, willing away the needy feeling to want to be fucked senseless by the japanese man in an attempt to have a proper conversation instead. "this isn't why i- yuta..."

yuta hit a sensitive spot just under sicheng's jaw, tightening his grip on the younger boy's thighs. sicheng clamped a hand over his own mouth, praying that taeil hadn't heard him moan yuta's name, and tugged at yuta's hair to get him to stop.
