Exo Imagines

It's Your Turn to Cry (Short Luhan Special)

Guys. I know I've had a lot of Luhan updates.

Honestly, I wanted this next one to be about Xiumin. But, with the recent events, I brainstormed a Luhan imagine to maybe help some of the Exo L's feel a bit closer to Luhan in his time of need.

So, sorry if you guys don't want a Luhan update, I promise to write about more members soon.

You knew something was wrong. Just by the way he was looking at you - those beautiful, brown eyes surveying your every move. He's hesitant, unsure if it's the right time to tell you.

"_____...I made an important decision today."

"Hmm?" You ask, cocking your head. It couldn't be that serious, could it?

"I...."

Luhan sighs, running both hands through his messy hair in frustration. You pull the blanket you're sharing with him up to your chin, staring intently at Luhan.

"I'm leaving Exo."

The words ring in your ears, almost painfully so. You try to process his words, but it's all too much to take in.

"Bao, please don't be angry. It's just, I want to spend more time with you-"

He's cut short by a coughing fit, and you hug his shaking frame, wishing you could take his sickness away from him.

"Of course I'm not angry with you. I'm a little shocked, since this is so sudden. But, I think you made the right choice. Not just to spend time with me, but because of your health. I want you to be able to get a full night of sleep, to be able to eat properly again. I want to see your restored, shining smile. I hate seeing this company do this to you."

He remains silent for a bit, and you notice a tear slipping down the side of his face. You hold him a little tighter.

"I love all the members. I really do. And the fans...they'll be angry, won't they? I've disappointed so many...."

You gently pull his head to your chest, letting his tear-stained cheeks dry off on the fabric of your v-neck. He turns to bury his face in your shoulder, letting out the emotions he had been holding back for so long.

"Luhan, I want you to know that the members and I will always support your decisions. The fans know about your health, they'll want the best for you. Cry as much as you need to, I'll stay here with you. I know how hard it must've been, year after year of being overworked. You're finally home, Lulu."

Squeezing your waist tighter than a childhood teddy bear, Luhan nods. Looking up at you with red, watery eyes, he manages a small smile.

"You're right, jagi. I'm home."

You sat with him for hours, letting him reminisce on the old days where Exo had all it's members, the sillier, lighter times. Even through the tears, you can see how much Luhan cares for the members.

You check the clock, and it's already 12:30 pm. His round eyes droop, and you giggle.

"Luhan, we should go to bed now," you suggest, smiling softly.

"I guess we should. I'm excited, I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow - the first time in months."

The two of you slip into bed, you wearing his old tee-shirt and him wearing shorts. You turn to say goodnight to him, but find him fast asleep, his long eyelashes fluttering over his pale cheeks. You plant a kiss on his jaw, snuggling up to his side.

"Goodnight, my strong, little deer."
