I'm Here For You | Luwoo

1

Jungwoo has known Lucas for a long time. He knows him better than himself. He knows he's insecurities, what makes him sad and what makes him happy, and he knows the thing Lucas does. Jungwoo had graduated last year and now Lucas is a senior, yes they are dating. Only a year age gap. Jungwoo was sitting at his desk in his dorm room when he heard a knock. Currently his dorm mate was in his classes so Jungwoo was alone. He was only wearing one of Lucas's sweatshirts and shorts with socks. He went to the door and opened it to see Lucas with his backpack. He smiled and let his boyfriend in. Lucas set his bag down by Jungwoo's bed and then proceeded to sit on his bed. Jungwoo shut the door and walked over and crouched in front of Lucas and took his big hands in his. Lucas looked at him with a frown. "Babe talk to me" Jungwoo spoke softly and Lucas sniffled. Jungwoo laid down and beckoned the taller over and Lucas joined him. Laying on him burying his face in Jungwoo's neck and holding on tight. Jungwoo had his upper back and head a bit elevated because of the pillows. Lucas brought his legs up and hooked them around Jungwoo's curling up on the older's side. Jungwoo kissed the crown of Lucas's head and ran his fingers through his hair and used his other hand to hold Lucas's. He soon heard sniffles and tears landing on his neck. "What happened?" He asked carefully.
"I-I'm just tired" he spoke back, his voice cracking. Jungwoo turned onto his side holding Lucas, the taller still curled up but now had his legs wrapped around Jungwoo's hips as he held his torso with his head buried into the older's chest. Jungwoo rubbed his back and played with his hair gently as Lucas cried.
"Do you want to take a nap and talk about it later?" Jungwoo asked and Lucas nodded against him. Jungwoo had to move them for a second and he pulled the covers over them and held Lucas tight but not to the point it was uncomfortable for Lucas. Jungwoo rested his chin on Lucas's head and held his torso and rubbed his back with his thumb. Lucas was still crying and after 15 minutes he had fallen asleep. Jungwoo looked down at him lovingly and sighed sadly, he hated seeing his boyfriend so sad. Jungwoo stayed up, he didn't want to miss it when Lucas wakes up. He was scared he might leave.

After about an hour Lucas woke up and tilted his head to see Jungwoo looking down at him and the male smiled. Lucas returned it but his was forced. Jungwoo gently cradled Lucas's head, holding his cheeks softly. He brought his head down and kissed Lucas on the lips and came back up. "Don't fake a smile" he whispered and Lucas nodded. Jungwoo rubbed the side of the taller's neck. "Are you ready to talk?" Jungwoo asked and Lucas nodded hesitantly. Jungwoo gave him his full attention.
"Jungwoo... why do people always try to put me down?"
"What are they saying baby?" Jungwoo asked worriedly.
"T-They constantly comment about how I'm only l-liked for my looks. Th-they say it's wrong to date another guy. They call me dumb just because I like cracking jokes. They don't even think about the fact that I have As and Bs in my classes" he frowned and Jungwoo saw Lucas's eyes become teary.
"What else do they say?" Jungwoo said carefully. Lucas seemed to get even more sad.
"In the locker room today... they-they pointed out my s-scars and said it looked weird. They started asking if I'm gonna kill myself and said it's a pussy thing to do" a tear fell from his eye and more followed. Jungwoo gently wiped them away. Jungwoo gently grabbed one of Lucas's arms and rolled up his hoodie sleeve and saw fresher ones probably from a day or two ago. "I'm s-sorry" Lucas choked. Jungwoo brought his arm up and started kissing up it, all over the scars. He saw Lucas blush and then he grabbed his other arm and did the same. He brought his hands to his chest and held them close. Lucas sniffled.
"They don't understand what you've been through, they don't know the real you" Jungwoo spoke.
"If they did they'd h-hate me" tears fell from his eyes and Jungwoo smiled softly and kissed Lucas once more.
"I don't think so. If they were to know the real you and if they do end up disliking you, I'll stay by your side. As will the rest of the group. You're beautiful Lucas, inside and out. They don't deserve your kindness, they don't deserve your beautiful heart" he spoke and saw Lucas start crying even more. Jungwoo kissed his tears away and cradled his cheek with his hand as he used the other to hold the younger's hand.
"But what i-if you end up hating-" Lucas started to say but Jungwoo rested his forehead against Lucas's and held his face in his hands.
"Baby I could never hate you" he said and Lucas placed his hands over Jungwoo's. "I promise to stay by your side" Jungwoo said and kissed the younger's forehead and Lucas cuddled into him, latching his limbs around the older and Jungwoo held him.
Lucas may seem strong on the outside, buff, handsome, funny, but Jungwoo knew the real him. Lucas is strong, handsome, and funny but he is also hurt. Hurt from his past and the fact people put him down. "I love you very much" Jungwoo said and petted Lucas's hair.
"I-I love you too" Lucas said and kissed Jungwoo's collarbone.
"Next time, when you feel like hurting yourself, please come to me. Even if it's 3 o' clock in the morning, I'd be more than happy to take care of you Lucas. Don't ever doubt my love for you" he said and felt a hot tear slip from his eye.
"O-okay, I promise" Lucas spoke. His eyes still closed but he brought his hand up and extended his pinky. Jungwoo cooed at the cute action and hooked their pinkies. Lucas brought Jungwoo's hand down and kissed the top of it.
"Now get some more rest" Jungwoo said and Lucas nodded listening to Jungwoo's heart as it put him to sleep. Both males fell asleep feeling much better.
