The Comeback

Talking

(A/N):

This song came on as I was writing and I forgot how much I love it. Enjoy some NCT.

"So how's the wine?"

"Exquisite!"

"Of course it is." Yunho chuckled at the younger. Keep in mind, Changmin was not a lightweight. Yunho doesn't drink much because his face gets super flushed, it's uncomfortable for him.

"Want to try any?"

"No, no, no. I'm quite alright. I'd rather not hate my decisions tonight. I like my melanin tonight." Changmin chuckled at this.

As the two continued their meal, both men were planning things to do the whole month they were there. Yunho was trying his best to keep quiet about the proposal. He was throwing in things to do that would help his plan out. It wasn't too hard, but everytime Yunho would try and throw something relaxing in there Changmin would just try and replace it with more fun. This man was just full of energy. Yunho finally got one relaxing thing though. "You want to go walk along the beach tonight? There probably won't be many people out. It'd be nice to clear our minds and talk," Yunho smiled at Changmin and the younger smiled back. Yeah it kinda felt odd because Yunho said he wanted to talk some. Changmin was wondering whether he did something wrong or not. Not that it really mattered, they weren't dating anyway.

"That sounds great, Yunho," The younger said, softly smiling. So it was settled. After dinner they were going to go back to the cottage, put on swim trunks, and walk on the beach. Yunho was kind of excited. This was going to be his chance to ask him to be his boyfriend again. He didn't know how he'd do it and he was scared. That's why he wanted to "clear his head" as he said before. He figured maybe it would help. Both are simple men and don't like elaborate things. You don't have to get on a roof top and scream your love about the other to the world. The biggest thing they ever did was confess to their CEO and that, of course, was too big for them. All Yunho had to do was just come out and say it. That was it. He knows they both still love each other, so there's not a big chance Changmin would say no.

After a lot of thinking, Yunho looked at Changmin. "You ready?" He asked the younger after paying for everything.

"Yeah, let's go," he replied softly. So, they went back to wait for the sun to set, get ready, and head out on their walk.

It didn't take long for the sun to completely set. The moon had rose and was shining just enough for the boys to be able to see. There indeed, was no one out that night. In fact, with it being winter, there weren't many people renting the cottages. This, again, making the best scenario for the two. Fame kind of sucks when you are in the situation they are in. Granted they are the ones making the situation, but you can't help who you love, right?

Yunho and Changmin began walking. After about an hour, they were a bit aways from any kind of life, but aquatic. Yunho plopped down on the sand with a loud sigh, lying back. Changmin laughed at this and sat down beside him, staring at the moon over the water. "You sound like you just ran a marathon," Changmin chuckled.

"Maybe I did," Yunho said, still breathing hard.

"Maybe you should work out more, honey."

"Do you realize how much walking we've done today?"

"Yet, I'm fine."

"Yah, respect your elders. I'm older than you," Yunho glared playfully.

"Hyung, you're only two years older," Changmin laughed again. "Besides, I can drop honorifics. We're way past the dating stage." He was right. Though they aren't dating anymore, they have passed that stage plenty of times. Even this morning proved that. Yunho looked over at Changmin staring into the distance. The smile Changmin had quickly faded into a solemn expression. Yunho didn't know whether or not he was okay.
