09: 'Til Dawn

"How could he be such a jerk? I never thought I'd backstab him like this... Frankly, I never even thought that he was really your only and past lover. I mean hyung, I did tease you towards him. But seriously?"

After that heart to heart session, Suho had finally calmed down, that is with the help of Chen of course. Just to make sure that at last his hyung will have a nice sleep, Chen suggested that they should have a sleep over. Though, the sleeping never happened because at the current moment, they're still talking. Dawn is about to begin with the sound of the chickens. They do know that it's bad for both their healths— Chen knows that it won't be good for Suho because it may worsen his condition, but the latter can't be stopped. He said that it would be alright. After all and for the first time in a while, someone did cheer him up.

"Yes. Did I mask it up well enough?"
The older chuckles, making him laugh and shrug. "You see, Lingxi didn't know that Yixing was dating me. He cheated without telling the other party. And since they seem so good and lovely to one another, I didn't want to ruin it by telling Lingxi the truth." He later on looks at the younger one before yawning, eyelids feeling heavy. His yawn soon infected Chen, making him laugh afterwards.

"That's so unfair." Chen looks wistfully at the window before pouting to himself. Suho only smiled sadly before sighing, looking up to the ceiling. Within that short time of silence, he was thanking his source of happiness and completeness at the moment, which is Chen. He really is the mood maker.

Suho thinks about his next move, which includes thanking Chen in another way and not just saying it. Maybe he'll treat him at their favorite restaurant? Maybe he'll buy him several gifts? Maybe... Who knows? He himself doesn't know the exact thing to do either yet.

"What about you? Tell me about your ex, Chen."

Upon the mention of his name, Chen choked on particularly nothing before bursting out of laughter and shaking his head. "Into the bin where she belongs. I don't care." This made Suho utter an apology, but the younger says that it's okay.

"Ehem hyung. They're getting married, right? Will you attend their wedding?"

"Don't really know. I don't have an official invitation yet? Lingxi did  message me to come to their wedding though." He hums in response, looking at Chen afterwards. Now only did he take notice of the younger one's long eyelashes, those beautiful lips, and that cheekbone of his. Suho was beginning to appreciate Chen's beauty even more— but not that he didn't appreciate it before. He just noticed how undeniably attractive he is.

"So hyungie, you'll come? With who?"

"Maybe I'll go with Chanyeol and Baekhyun, but then again I don't want to be a thirdwheel. Those two really have the guts to flirt anywhere and it would be awkward for me. I practically look like their mother, aish!" Suho pouts, making the other one chuckle at his cuteness. Deep within his heart, Chen was hoping a little bit that Suho would choose him as his company at the wedding. But then again, the older can't just invite someone who's not invited by the hosts themselves. So that hope extinguishes, until...

"You know what? Maybe I'll go with you instead. Remember what Baekhyun told them back then? We're a couple in their eyes. Maybe I could squish you on the list of people who are invited." Suho winks, and Chen's heart skipped a beat. Later on, he just laughs with eyes sparkling and beaming with joy.

"But wait hyung! Didn't Baekhyun tell them we 'broke' up already, since we scolded him?"

"I don't know... I've completely forgotten about that one," He rubs his nape, looking at the younger one nervously.

"Aish! That bitch. I really won't give him free snacks next time." Chen creases his eyebrows and the way he does that makes Suho giggle. "Anyways hyung, what's the date of our fake 'anniversary' again?"

The older's hands made their own way to his forehead, and boom, a slap! He completely forgot about the fake date of their so called anniversary.

"Sorry Chen, I forgot— damn it! Is it really important though?"

"Aniyo, hyung. Mianhae." He shakes his head and avoids the older's gaze, looking up to the ceiling instead. He now wonders to himself, 'If ever, when will be the date of our real anniversary?' His own thought made him smile to himself like an idiot, and it made curiosity grow on Suho, causing him to ask, "What's on your mind?"

"Ahehehe... Nothing, just a random and funny memory that flickered in my head." Suho was unimpressed with his answer. Chen practically sounded like he's lying, and he really was.

"You're so unfair."

"Joking, hyung! Don't even get mad at me, after all I've done! Oh! I'm hurt—" Chen sits upright, dramatically placing a hand over his chest. But before he can finish his sentence, Suho interrupts him with a serious face just before he bursts out laughing, shaking his head. He couldn't believe it. Earlier and like twenty-four hours ago, he was crying and a depressed man, who had no one to comfort him, until Chen came. And when he did, he lifted the sadness from Suho's heart. Now, they're both smiling. Their smiles were twice as wide than before.

"Save that for the artist's audition. You make me cringe."

"But in a good way, am I right?"

"Ye.. Indeed." Suho nods, pinching Chen's cheeks. The outcome was always the same. Because of the harsh pinch, Chen went whining so loud that Suho bets the neighborhood heard it. "Ahh waeeeee!"

After some other and more topics, sleepiness finally came to them. They shared the bed frankly because Suho doesn't want his 'guest' to be sleeping on the floor. On the other hand, Chen doesn't want all the 'nice' stuffs only to him— he insisted that the owner of the house itself shouldn't sleep on the floor. Hence, they shared the bed without any partition. It's not like one of them is an actual pervert to do something to the other one.

"Hyungg... Before you sleep let me tell you a thing," Chen pathetically whines, tugging Suho's shirt as if he's a baby just to get the other to notice him. The latter replied with a sleepy and now husky voice, "Hmm?"

"Move on. Okay?"

Well— that doesn't sound like an easy thing to do for Suho. He can't just simply and straight up answer Chen with a yes when he himself doesn't know how to start. He opened both his eyes and looked at the other one, whose eyes are already closed. He's not asleep yet though. He just doesn't want to meet Suho's gaze because he's 'unprepared.'

"I can't promise, but I'll try. If only someone could teach me how to..."

Without thinking, Chen replied with what he had in mind. "I'll show you the way how to."

The older didn't take it seriously and just smiled. "Someone will get jealous." And that someone in particular is Xiumin. Well, he and Chen don't really have a relationship but Suho feels like there's a spark of chemistry between the two. That's why he ships them.

"Who the heck would that be, hyung? That's too funny and never gonna happen." He pouts aggressively as his eyes widened, rolling his eyes afterwards. "Good night. I just wanted to tell you that."

"Oh? You mean good morning?" Suho chuckles. "Have a nice sleep." He stares at the younger, who was already asleep in just a few more moments. Eventually, he himself falls in a deep slumber. Without them knowing as they sleep, each of their bodies made a way to connect with the another. And they ended up sleeping in a hugging position, smiling as they dream.
