The Prince First Love

Chapter 53

(This chapter is just the two of them)
(By the way, I died on that MV teaser with #2Wish 😳)

Can is dreaming.

He is back to that day he left Tin after giving everything. His love, his body, his soul... His all.
He remembers how heavy every step he made. He was tempted to run back to the Prince, to tell him that he wanted to stay but he didn't do it because it's better that it's him who take the pain, that it's him alone and no one else.

He let himself be numb by the pain, by the sadness, by the isolation he put himself into.

And once again he is dreaming. Once again he was sent to a place he thought he won't be back anymore. Is it a dream?

Yes, maybe he is dreaming ...just like before, when he keeps on dreaming but always woken up by the sad reality that it's all but a figment of his sleep.

The king who is up for a while now and been watching sleeping Can like some creepy pervert. Tin can proudly say he is really acting like a creepy pervert. Maybe because he often jolted awake like something is waking him up, maybe it's his fear that put him on edge, on the guard. He is afraid that just like before after a night full of love, well that's what he feeds himself... Can suddenly disappeared. And that made him on the lookout, checking if Can is beside him... Sleeping. Once he confirmed it, he would breath out in relief.

He's hopeless.

Every crease of Can's forehead, every small movement, the pout of his kiss-swollen lips, everything hasn't escape Tin's eyes. He frowns when Can started become restless and a teardrop slides down his cheek. Tin's chest tightened in the thought that Can, his Can is having a sad dream. Even in sleep, he is being hunted by sadness making him restless at night.

Is it because of him?

I'm sorry...

Tin's finger traces the wet mark in despair. Slowly touch the soft flesh of Can's cheeks as if afraid that the latter will awoken.

Can felt a feather-like touch that tickling his skin awake. Forcing him to be drag out the slumber.
Slowly opening his eyes, he is met by a pair of pained dark orbs. Staring at his face unblinking.

Can's mind is still muddled by sleep making his perception slower as he silently stared at those sad but beautiful eyes.

It's familiar...

"Hi." Tin greets as his lips broke into a smile. He is amused by how Can is looking at him but looked like not really seeing him.
"How are you feeling?."

"Tin..." Can said. Like tasting something with the tip of his tongue.

"Hmm?." Tin who is lying on his side while facing Can tilt his head to the side.

"Tin!..oh my God! What have I done now" Can said louder when he realized the king is not a figment of his imagination.

Can raise his body up from the bed but he yelp and fall back down in the soft mattress when a sudden pain shoots from his lower back to his spine. Every fiber of his body has this tingling skin making it sensitive to the touch. The memory of the last night came back in full blast.

Can want to dig a hole and just die inside by how his resolve was blown up by the wind easily by those kisses.

Those hot and comforting kisses that drown every reason, every right from wrong, every affirmation are gone for a night of passion.

"Can!, are you okay?." Tin sit up fast without knowing what to do or where to touch Can. He thinks it's easier when after that, Can passed out in exhaustion not even moving a finger when Tin cleaned him up and take him to his room because the room Can is supposed to occupy is not too comfortable to sleep in and also maybe, Tin wanted Can inside his room more. He belongs there not anywhere else. And he will gonna lie if he doesn't love how Can look at the moment. Hair tousled and pointing in every direction, eyes are squinting and his cheeks have bed marks. In Tin's eyes, Can is too attractive in the morning that it's dangerous for his own sanity.
