Chapter 16 - "Sparks"

The room was dark and only lit up by the light of the laptop screen.  Baekhyun leaned forward staring at the scree. He had a blanket draped over his head to try and hid the light but is wasn't really working. Baekhyun clicked on a link and an article popped up on the screen. The sliver haired scanned the screen before grabbing a notepad and writing things down. 

Satisfied with his research, Baekhyun closed down the laptop and stretched.  He smiled and moved from sofa towards the bedroom. He sneaked into the room and quietly closed the door. The curtains were open slightly flooding the room with moonlight, lighting up the room. Baekhyun moved towards the bed and looked down at the sleeping man in front of him. 

The moonlight flitted through the window and bounced of Chanyeol's face. it lit up his pale skin giving him a light glow. Baekhyun smiled at the man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel glad. Out of all the people on earth, he was happy that Chanyeol was the one he had found. He was kind, funny and caring. 

A light feeling of happiness came over him as he crawled into the covers. Warmth washed over him as he snuggled into Chanyeol's chest, wrapping him arms around the taller's board chest. Chanyeol grumbled in his sleep and wrapped his arms around Baekhyun's slim waist. 

Baekhyun let out a sigh and closed his eyes. For once in his life, he was happy. 

***********

A low bussing filled the room, waking the pair from there dreams. Baekhyun grumbled and buried his head deeper into Chanyeol's chest. The taller smiled at the cute movement and pulled Baekhyun into a quick hug. 

"Come on we need to get up" Chanyeol said. He turned off the alarm and slowly sat up. Baekhyun clung to the red haired waist, trying his best to stay a in bed as long as possible. 

"Do we really need to go to school?" Baekhyun mumbled pulling the covers over his body again. Chanyeol chuckled and pulled the cover back. 

"Yes, now hurry up or we're gonna be late" Chanyeol said, striding off the get changed. Baekhyun grumbled and rolled his was out of bed.   

Slowly the pair got ready for school and soon left the house. The set off in the direction of school, a comfortable silence falling in between them.  As they walked, their hands brushed together. Chanyeol didn't seem to notice, but Baekhyun did. Slowly Baekhyun slipped his hand into Chanyeol's, feeling warmth  spread through his hand. 

Baekhyun smiled and skipped along beside Chanyeol who seemed to be very blind today. It wasn't long before they arrived at school and joined the steady flow of students heading into the building.

"Hey guys!" Kai called. Chanyeol smiled and walked over to his friends.

"Why are you guys holding hands?" Sehun asked.

"What" Chanyeol looked down at their hand, as Baekhyun quickly slipped his hand out of the others grasp. A little blush spread over Baekhyun's cheeks as the rest of the group looked at him.

"Oh look there's Kyungsoo, I'll go say hi" Baekhyun said quickly dashing off into the school. The group watched him go with an expression of confusion.

"What was that about?" Chanyeol asked as the started walking towards the school.

"Don't look at us he's your boyfriend" Sehun replied, earning a slap from the older. 

"He's not my boyfriend" Chanyeol mumbled. Kai snorted.

"Right, and pigs can fly" Kai replied. Chanyeol glared at them.

"Shut up" He said, walking off. 

"Someone's on their man period" Sehun mumbled, following after the angry giant.  

********

Baekhyun stumbled through the empty corridors.  He cheeks flushed from running and embarrassment. He was happy that he managed to hold Chanyeol's hand but was embarrassed he had been found out. He wondered through the halls thinking about the walk he had just shared with Chanyeol, it was definitely something boyfriends would do. 

With a grin, Baekhyun turned the corner and walked straight into something. The force sent him to the floor causing pain to spring through his lower legs. Rubbing his legs he looked up to see who he had bumped into to. 

"Oh Baekhyun I'm so sorry i didn't see you there," Mr Kim said his voice full of worry. "Are you alright?" 

"I'm fine" Baekhyun said slowly standing to his feet. He looked Mr Kim up and down warily before starting to walk again. Suddenly the teacher grabbed his wrist to stop him from walking. 

"You don't need to go to the nurse do you?" He asked. The grip on Baekhyun's wrist was slowly growing tighter making the small boy wince in pain

"No I'm fine, I just fell over nothing bad happened" Baekhyun and tried to remove his hand from the teachers grip but it wouldn't move. 

"We should go just in case." Mr Kim said and began to pull Baekhyun in the direction of the nurse. 

"Mr Kim I'm fine," Baekhyun said with a little more force. "If you would please let go, I need to go meet Chanyeol" The hall filled with silence, Mr Kim stared at Baekhyun his eyes narrowed. Baekhyun was slowly losing patience and his wrist was starting to hurt.  

"I said let go!" 

A suddenly it happened. Bright white sparks flew from Baekhyun's wrist burning the teachers hand. The hallway was suddenly filled with light as the sparks bounce from wall to wall before disappearing. Mr Kim was holding his hand, pain present in every inch of his face. 

Baekhyun took his chance and ran off down the corridor. He had no idea what just happen and he was scared.
