The Spring Dance

Ten

    Yuto leaned back in his chair, a girl next to him. She was complimenting his outfit, saying how handsome he looked. He only smiled at her, not want to be rude. Hyunggu leaned over, saving him. "Bro, take the beanie off. It's hot outside." Yuto rolled his eyes, throwing it at him. Hyunggu laughed, throwing it back.

    They were laughing and throwing his beanie, when the class went quiet. They both turned, the sighed making Yuto's eyes widen. Wooseok had walked in, eye dark and bruised. His knuckles were bleeding slightly, while he wiped away some blood from his face. The blonde boy who he was usually with wasn't with him, Wooseok sitting alone at his desk.

    "What did I tell you." Hyunggu whispered, while Yuto stared at him. Wooseok was using his shirt to clean himself off, staining it red. Yuto sighed, standing up. Hyunggu grabbed his arm, sitting him back down. "Don't." he said. Yuto looked back to Wooseok, to see him pulling out some headphones.

    The class went by as normal, except for Yuto glancing back every five minutes to check on Wooseok. It's been a few days since they were at his house, and he still hadn't gone to see the others mother. He wasn't expecting to, he knew it'd never happen, but he couldn't help but feel a little hurt by it. The class bell rang for lunch, and Hyunggu was trying to pull him out of the class. Yuto shook his head, trying to make an excuse. "I brought some lunch, it's in my locker."

    "Well let's go get it together." Yuto shook his head.

    "You go get your own lunch. I'll be fine." Hyunggu eyed him, before sighing.

    "Okay, you better not do anything else." Yuto smiled softly, pushing him away.

    "Okay, now go eat." Hyunggu skipped down the hall, grabbing onto Jinho on his way. The two walked out of Yuto's sight, making him let out a relieved sigh. Ever since the talk Hyunggu had with him, he's been clinging to him more than usual. Like he was just waiting for him to do something. He turned on his heel, walking back into the class. Wooseok was still there, head in his arms.

    Yuto walked to the front of the class, grabbing some water from his bag and the box of tissues. He then made his way over to Wooseok, pulling the seat out. Wooseok's head snapped up, glaring at the person next to him. When he saw it was Yuto, he felt himself soften. Yuto opened his water, grabbing a tissue. He wet it a little, before grabbing Wooseok's hand.

    The taller was hesitant on letting him clean it, before he finally gave in. Yuto started to clean the blood off, a quiet atmosphere around them. Yuto ignored the way the other stared at him, focusing on cleaning his hand. When he finished, he grabbed the other, grabbing another tissue. He sighed, glancing up to him. "What happened?"

    Wooseok sighed, looking away. Yuto could see the knot in his eyebrows, giving him time to say something. "Ran into a door." Yuto snorted, glaring at him. Wooseok glanced back, trying to hold in a smile.

    "Did the door win?" Wooseok rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

    "Nope." Yuto nodded.

    "And what did this door do to make you fight him?" Wooseok shook his head again, turning away from him.

    "He wouldn't get out of my way." Yuto chuckled softly, trying to stay serious.

    "So you just beat him up?" Wooseok nodded.

    "Yup." Yuto looked at him, amusement clear in his eyes. He looked back down, focusing on cleaning it again. "What's with the beanie? Isn't it the middle of spring?" Yuto rolled his eyes, looking back up at him.

    "What's with beating up doors? Isn't it sort of childish?" Wooseok's mouth parted, ready to argue back. Yuto pushed his hand away, getting up to throw the tissues. Wooseok watched him, Yuto feeling his gaze the whole time. He sat back down, grabbing onto Wooseok's shoulders. He turned him so he was facing him, studying his face.

    He saw some blood still coming out of a cut above his eyebrow, his lip slightly bleeding. "Damn, are you sure you won?" Wooseok snorted, trying to look away. Yuto grabbed onto his chin, making him face him. He saw Wooseok's eyes slightly widen, and he swore he saw a light blush on his face. He let him go, grabbing another tissue.

    He put more water, before wiping the blood off his cheek. There was a bruise under it, making Wooseok hiss slightly. Yuto apologized, going back to cleaning it. He couldn't help the way his heart began to pound, and his fingers started to tingle. He widened Wooseok's legs, so he would be able to move closer. When their legs brushed, it felt like Yuto's whole body lit on fire. "Why're you helping me?" Wooseok asked quietly.

    Yuto avoided looking at him, because he knew if he did, things might not end well. Instead, he put all his attention on cleaning his forehead. He sighed, not knowing why he was himself. "I don't know." he said back quietly. Wooseok eyed him, wanting to pull him closer.

    "What if your friend sees us?" Yuto shrugged. He knew he'd be dead if Hyunggu walked in right now.

    "Oh well." Wooseok looked at him, eyes softening. "Are you okay though?" Wooseok nodded. Yuto had cleaned it off, holding the tissue on the cut. "Hold this." Wooseok reached his hand up, brushing against Yuto's. Yuto pulled his hand away quickly, getting up from his seat as fast as he could. He walked to his bag, pulling out some bandages he had for when he got hurt during games.

    He walked back, pulling Wooseok's hand away. He put the bandaid over it, making Wooseok laughed slightly. "A bandaid? Really?" Yuto glared at him, making Wooseok smile more.

    "Well, you're the one beating up doors. When you act like a kid, you'll look like a kid." Wooseok smiled, shaking his head. Yuto lifted his head again, cleaning the rest off. He had cleaned his bottom lip, when he couldn't help but stare at it slightly. He wondered what would happen if he just leaned in. if Wooseok would push him away or not.

    He swore he saw Wooseok leaning in slightly. He glanced up at him, feeling his heart pick up speed. Wooseok's eyes glanced down to his, making Yuto bite his bottom lip. They glanced back to each other, when a voice made them jump apart. "Yuto? You here?" He sighed, standing up. His cheeks were a bright red, and his heart was beating faster than it ever has before.

    He glanced back at Wooseok, who was looking away. He walked to the door, seeing Hyunggu and Jinho. He glanced back to Wooseok, who was watching him from the corner of his eye. He walked out, and to the other two. They turned, letting out a sigh when they saw him. "Yutoda." Jinho breathed out. He walked to him, pulling him into a hug.

    "Where have you been? We've been looking everywhere for you." Yuto tried to calm himself, before answering.

    "Sorry, my mom called." Hyunggu raised his brow.

    "Your mom?" He nodded. Jinho pulled away, grabbing onto his arm.

    "Okay, well let's go. Hwitaek said he found the love of his life." they dragged him away, passing the classroom on their way. He looked in, to see Wooseok messing with the bandaid on his face. Yuto smiled slightly, wondering what would have happened if they hadn't been interrupted.
