The Black Fox & The White Tiger

Grey Sight

He was uncertain if he should step inside but after meeting his other self and hearing what Minhyun had said, he decided to steel himself and went for it. He took a couple of steps in and stopped, afraid to approach any further. In front of him sat the one person he swore to love and protect for as long as he lived and yet, he was the cause of the other's misery. Minhyun looked up and turned towards the direction he was in. He smiled gently and Baekho didn't hold back. He rushed over and embraced the tall male with silent tears. Minhyun held his arm and smiled.

"There you are," Minhyun said softly while patting his arm. "Are you crying?"

"N-No!" Baekho scoffed and rubbed his tears away furiously. He hated being such a crybaby since it only made him feel weak. Minhyun didn't even cry even when he found out he was blind but Baekho did out of guilt and hate towards himself.

"Liar...," Minhyun chuckled. "I can hear you clearly and you're also shaking. Which always happens when you cry."

"I'm not," Baekho sobbed and leaned his head against Minhyun's. "I'm so sorry..."

"Why are you apologising?" Minhyun asked and kissed Baekho's hand gently.

"Because of me, this happened."

"I told you before. Its not your fault. Come closer," Minhyun said while pulling Baekho down slightly. The standing male bent over and led Minhyun's hand to his face. Minhyun smiled and traced the curves of his face, wiping his tears as well. "See? You were crying."

"I'm trying not to."

"Why? Humans are allowed to cry when they feel like it," Minhyun said and sighed. "And you, my love, are always allowed to cry in my arms."

"But I feel like I have just trapped you with me forever. I feel guilty. I feel like a terrible person."

"And don't you want me to be with you?"

"I do but I didn't want it to be like this. I wanted us to be happy. And to go places together. Not... Not by force."

"You didn't force this on me, Baekho. I will gladly take this over making that terrible mistake of getting drunk again," Minhyun said with a tone that sounded like he was annoyed at himself. He pulled Baekho into a kiss once he had pinpointed his lips. Baekho missed this. Ever since he had made Minhyun blind by accident, he didn't dare go near him or touch him. Afraid he would commit another mistake he regretted. But Minhyun's touches were bold and straight to the point just like before, reassuring Baekho that it was alright. He was still him. Even without sight. Nothing has changed. After all, it wasn't like Minhyun hadn't memorized every single curve and bend of Baekho's body. "You got skinnier. You should definitely eat more."

"Mmm... I was too worried thinking about you to do that," Baekho whispered as his tall boyfriend stood up, pushing him down against the piano. The keys made noise as Baekho's weight leaned against them but Minhyun didn't stop there. He slid his hands under Baekho's shirt and squished his stomach.

"That's no good. You won't be that adorable anymore when I get to see again."

"Wait, what?" Baekho was surprised but Minhyun had captured his lips in a deep kiss again before he could continue asking. Baekho whined and pushed him back. "What did you just say?"

Minhyun grinned and didn't reply him. Instead, he started feeling places which he knew would keep the other distracted. Baekho gasped, clearly distracted even though he wanted Minhyun to reply him. How was it that even with a blindfold on, Baekho still lost to him? Minhyun trailed his neck with sweet kisses and left it with hickeys.

"You're every bit as amazing as I remember," Minhyun said and smirked. Baekho frowned but he was already out of breath without doing anything except getting attacked by Minhyun's kisses and wild touches. "Without one sense, your other senses really do increase."

"Yeah. You're touching me really intensely," Baekho grumbled and tried to stop Minhyun before they got any further because he knew he would probably not get a reply out of Minhyun once his mind was too deep into the pleasure Minhyun was capable of giving him. He grabbed Minhyun's wrists and pulled them away from his body. "Tell me. What did you mean by that earlier?"

"Mean by what?"

"That you can see again, of course! I may be a crybaby but it doesn't mean I don't listen to what you say," Baekho scoffed and Minhyun chuckled.

"Oh, that."

"Well? Tell me. Can you really see again?"

"Baekho, Baekho." Minhyun moved his hands towards his cheeks and squished them. "You're so innocent that it makes me want to devour you."

"You're such a devil," Baekho huffed and frowned. "Even though you look like an angel."

"I will take that as a compliment," Minhyun replied before he moved one hand away to pull down the blindfold. He slowly opened his eyes and looked right into Baekho's. The shorter male gasped when he saw light in the other's eyes. "Blind people don't really need to wear blindfolds but I had to because I was recovering my sight."

"No way.... You... When did you?" Baekho could barely finish his sentence as he touched Minhyun's cheeks and he found tears sliding down his cheeks again. Minhyun blinked slowly and squinted a little.

"You're crying again," He chucked and Baekho wanted to hit him for being such a tease but didn't as he laughed.

"And to think I was so worried..."

"Well, I'm still healing and it was meant to be a surprise," Minhyun replied as he put the blindfold on again.

"Seriously, why didn't you tell me?" Baekho sobbed and rubbed his wet cheeks again. Minhyun laughed and kissed his forehead.

"I was waiting for our anniversary. And it was really tough having to slip in and out of the house when you keep such a tight watch on me. Lucky for me, Jonghyun was a big help."

Baekho sniffled and smiled. "I'm so glad. I'm so relieved..."

"I love you, Baekho. And I promise never to get drunk again. Even if it was because I was celebrating your birthday and got overexcited." Baekho let out a choked laugh and hugged Minhyun tightly.

"I love you too, Minhyun."
