(in which a game of hiding-hugging-and-seeking makes them closer than ever)

junhui had no idea how he ended up in a bush, hiding there fortnite style. there were leaves and twigs stuck in his jet-black hair. he heard a rustle next to him, making him duck his head down. just to let you know, he stuck those twigs and leaves in his hair to 'camouflage' in the bushes, but with that black hair of his? i think the fuck not.

"oi! junhui-ge!" junhui heard a familiar voice whisper-shout at him.

"what? and be quiet, the little gremlin might hear you!" junhui whispered back. well... more like yelled back if you ask me.

"g-gremlin?" minghao asked in confusion, not knowing what that unfamiliar word meant.

"gremlin! and i was referring to fengjun, you idiot!" junhui said in frustration. he was in his competitive mode and in no way is he going to get caught by the annoying little shit that's currently checking every bush and tree right now. he's not that far, but not close either.

junhui didn't know why he did it, but he took minghao's wrist and they both proceeded to run to a more better hiding place. it was a little obvious. it was a tall oak tree, it wasn't any oak tree, it was junhui's oak tree. when he was younger he would always climb and hide in that tree from his mother and brother. of course, he fell out of that habit ages ago.

"what-" minghao couldn't even finish his sentence, junhui started climbing the tree without skipping a beat. minghao just scoffed at how unbelievable the situation is. minghao sighed and started to climb. junhui looked back at the boy who was somehow having a little trouble climbing up the tree but still managing... somehow.

junhui jumped down behind minghao. he wrapped his arms around minghao and hoisted him up onto a branch, the boy was surprised. this was probably the kindest thing junhui has ever done to him. junhui climbed the branch above him and sat beside minghao. they both put their long legs up (daddy longlegs) so that fengjun doesn't see their long-ass legs from below.

"be quiet, or else i'll ditch you. got that?" junhui whispered in minghao's ear. the older didn't think much of it, he just held onto the small boy, making sure he doesn't topple over and break his neck or something like that. it's not like he cares about him or anything, he just doesn't want to pay his hospital bills.

"o-okay," minghao stuttered. junhui smiled at this and wrapped his arms around minghao's waist, holding his body close to his. it felt a little nice, being hugged by another. it somehow brings a warm and comforting fuzzy feeling into someone's gut. hugs, what a nice way to describe someone enveloping you in their arms to comfort you or to protect you.

"guys! i'm over here!" after hearing fengjun's taunt, junhui wrapped his arms tighter around minghao's waist. the smaller squeaked silently, making junhui put his hand over his mouth.

"remember what i said, baby boy? you don't wanna get caught now, do you?" junhui whispered in minghao's ear, sending shivers down the poor boy's spine. he blushes and nods, flustered. junhui smiled at minghao's flustered state. he pulled the boy closer to his body. junhui didn't want to admit it, but he liked teasing the younger boy. he loved seeing his cute face get dusted prettily with a faint blush after calling him 'cute' or whatever. to junhui, this was mildly entertaining.

they both heard the crunch of the grass below and behold was a confused looking fengjun. junhui held tighter onto minghao, not taking a single break of air as he kept his eyes on the small boy.

"ah, they sure are good hiders... i'll just ask one of the other hyung," fengjun said as he ran off, looking for one of the passing by hyung in the park. at that moment junhui wanted to scream 'cheater' but that would cost them and their hiding place, so he decided to just stay silent.

a few seconds passed with fengjun having mingyu and wonwoo help him find the two missing in action boys.

"j-junnie, i can't r-really breathe w-with your hand o-on my m-mouth" minghao said with his voice muffled out by junhui's hand. junhui took his hand off the poor boy's mouth before whispering in his ear again.

"you shouldn't really call me that, am i right?" junhui said, before smirking again. minghao nodded before blushing again.

"we finally found you two lovebirds, huh?" they both looked down to see mingyu and wonwoo along with an ecstatic fengjun. junhui hopped off first before helping minghao get off the branch.

"being a gentleman now, eh?" mingyu said teasingly to junhui who just walked past them. junhui felt a ding in his pocket to see a text from his mum, telling him to come home.

"oops, gotta go home now," junhui said as he gestured to fengjun to come with him. the small boy smiled and ran up to him, holding onto his hand tightly. minghao suddenly hugged the older from behind. junhui stopped in his tracks and looked down at the smaller, who just smiled at him.

"i had fun, bye junnie-ge," minghao said before smiling again. junhui smiled and booped minghao's nose, making the younger flustered and let go. junhui then ran while slinging a protesting fengjun onto his back.

"that's for calling me 'junnie'!" junhui yelled back before laughing gleefully. minghao smiled back before seeing junhui's figure disappear off into the distance. it was nice to hear his laugh, it was high-pitched and had an essence of mischief in it, making him sound inviting and kind other than how he chooses to portray himself.

"i guess he isn't that bad..." minghao said to himself before walking off.
