The Devil Within (yujae)

Yuta sat on the couch fidgeting, as Ten rubbed circles on his back trying to calm him down. "Hyung, it will be okay. Try not to worry too much. I'll be right here."

There was a light knock on the door and Yuta jumped. He looked at Ten, who nodded and went to open the door. He stood before the door, not get opening it. Fuck. What in hell Yuta. What are you doing?

Jaehyun spoke through the door, making Yuta jump back a little."If you don't want to do this Yuta, we don't have to. Only if you're sure. Only if you're comfortable." Yuta looked back at Ten before he slowly opened the door.

Jaehyun stood there leaning against the door frame. He glanced at Yuta and lowered his gaze. Yuta stepped back and pointed to the table. Jaehyun walked towards the table but stopped when he saw Ten. "Oh, hello Ten." He sat down at the table folding his hands in his lap. Ten walked over and sat across from him. "I hope you don't mind me being here hyung. Yuta hyung didn't want to be alone." Jaehyun looked up, "So you know what's going on? He told you what happened?" He wasn't surprised Yuta talked to Ten, he was just surprised that Ten seemed to be so calm and relaxed. "Yes, he called me as soon as you left. I happen to be pretty open-minded when it comes to this stuff." Jaehyun nodded and looked at Yuta.

Yuta walked over and sat next to Ten. Jaehyun took a deep breath, "I really appreciate the fact that you are letting me explain myself. I don't want to overwhelm you, so I will just let you ask me questions for now." Ten looked at Yuta, "He said your eyes turned black. Could you show me?" Jaehyun nodded, closing his eyes and slowly opening them. They were a beautiful brown...and then when he opened them again they were completely black.

Yuta gulped...Holy Shit. I thought I had imagined it. I didn't want to believe it. "So, could you keep them black all the time if you wanted or do you have to switch back?" Ten had his head tilted to the side. Jaehyun blinked switching back to his brown eyes. "I could keep them black but no one knows about me and I don't want to scare people or have them asking questions."

"Do you have any questions?" Ten looked at Yuta and squeezed his hand. Yuta looked at Jaehyun, I have too many questions. What should I ask? I'm afraid of what his answers will be. Fuck Yuta. Calm down. What should I ask first? Why was he drawn to me? What about the nightmares? What about the babe thing? I don't know what to do.

Jaehyun put his hands on the table, palms up. "Yuta, I can answer all those questions for you one at a time. We can take as much time as you need. I want you to understand." Yuta looked at him wide-eyed. What does he mean, all those questions? I didn't say anything out loud. He stared at Jaehyun for a minute debating...Can you hear my thoughts? Jaehyun nodded slowly.

"Holy shit", Yuta said as he laid his head on the table. I may not be able to handle all this information you know? , he thought. Jaehyun leaned across the table and put his hand on Yuta's head lightly. "You will be able to. You are stronger than you realize." Ten looked at them, confused.  "Did I missing something?"

Yuta sat up and ran his hands over his face. "Okay, let's get this over with. I have to go to work tomorrow."
