The Spring Dance

Thirty One

He woke up in the middle of the night, sweat forming on his forehead. His eyes were slightly watery and his heart was racing. He looked around, wondering if he should walk out or not. He wiped at his eyes, pushing his long hair out of his face. Throwing the blanket off him, he went to stand up.

Someone grabbed onto his wrist, making him snap his head to look at them. He saw Yuto watching him, eyebrows furrowed and sleep clear on his face. Wooseok sighed, feeling his heart slow down. "Sorry, go back to sleep." He shook his head, pulling his arm. Wooseok fell back on the bed, Yuto pulling him closer.

Wooseok didn't stop him. Instead, he sat up on the headboard, pulling Yuto to his chest. The other wrapped himself around him, grabbing onto his hand. "What's wrong?" he said, voice thick with sleep. Wooseok shook his head, thinking back to what it was. "Don't shake your head. You looked like you were about to cry." He sighed, looking down.

Yuto lifted his head, making him look at him. Wooseok chewed on his bottom lip, thinking of a way to explain it. "I don't know what's wrong. I just...I had this sort of feeling, and it was like..." he sighed, searching for the words to explain it. "It was like that feeling of fear you get when your underwater and you can't breathe. It felt like that." Yuto frowned, moving to sit next to him. Wooseok sighed, grabbing onto his arm.

"What did you dream about?" Wooseok shrugged.

"I don't know. It was just normal things. Like being out and shit. And then I got that feeling and I woke up." Yuto scanned his face, while Wooseok played with his hand.

"Is it because of your dad?" He shrugged. He had that same feeling last year, and he never really told anyone about it. Yuto pulled him down, letting him lay on his chest. It was almost three in the morning, and Wooseok didn't know if he'd be able to go back to sleep.

They laid like that for a while, until Wooseok pulled away from him. "You need to get back to sleep. Don't you have a game tomorrow?" Yuto looked at him, shaking his head.

"I can't sleep if your like this." Wooseok smiled gently at him, pulling him to him instead.

"Yuto, you need to sleep. I'll be fine. I'll just lay right here with you." he saw the way he rolled his eyes. Wooseok smiled, intertwining their hands again. Let out a sigh, Yuto curled into his side. The smaller fell asleep, and eventually, Wooseok found himself falling asleep also.

They had snuck out of Yuto's house without his parents finding out, walking to school hand in hand. It was friday, and Yuto begged him to get out instead of stay at home. Halfway into the walk, Yuto let go of his hand. "Babe?" he asked.

Wooseok's heart jumped, a cute smile forming on his face. Yuto was oblivious to what he had said, waiting for his response. Wooseok raised his brow, still smiling widely. "Can you give me a piggyback ride?" he laughing, loving how childish Yuto was sometimes.

"Sure, anything for you." Yuto smiled, hopping on his back. Wooseok held onto his thighs, making sure he didn't fall off. Yuto wrapped his arms around his neck, laying on his shoulder. They walked to school in a comfortable silence, Yuto telling him everything they missed.

He had just realized that they had never walked into school together. That they had kept their relationship to themselves and some close friends for a few weeks now. He looked back at Yuto, who looked like he had no intention of getting off. He had a soft smile on his face, the slight wind ruffling his hair. "You look so beautiful." he said. He loved when the other would get mad and tell him not to say that.

Yuto rolled his eyes, a slight blush coating his cheeks. "Shut up." he said, turning to look at him. The school was up ahead, some kids already there. Yuto leaned into him, giving him a quick kiss. Wooseok kissed back, walking slower. He didn't want to have to put him down.

Yuto went back to laying on him, while the taller walked them into the school. Some kids gasped, staring at them wide eyed. Yuto didn't seem to mind, only talked to him about some things he needed to do before the game that night. "Can I go?" Wooseok looked back at him. Yuto nodded, smiling widely.

"If you want." Wooseok put him down softly, making sure to put his arm around him. They walked into class, Yanan raising his brows. Wooseok walked with him to the back, giving his seat to the smaller. Yuto blushed again, sitting down. Wooseok wrapped his arms around his shoulders, laying his head on top of his.

"You actually got him to come to school today?" Yanan looked at him, shock clear on his face. Yuto was holding his hand, nodding his head.

"Yup, it took a while, but I managed." Wooseok scoffed, looking down at him. Yuto smiled, sticking his tongue out.

"Babe~" he whined. Yuto only leaned up, giving him a soft kiss. Yanan gagged loudly, making them smile into the kiss.

"Get a room." Wooseok put his arm around him, pulling him closer.

"Why do you think we were at his house last night?" Both of them scoffed, slapping his arm. He laughed, holding his arm in fake pain.

"Damn, slapped by my best friend and my boyfriend." Yuto laughed, grabbing his hand again. They all turned, watching as Hyunggu walked in. He glanced at the couple, before looking away. He could see the way Yuto frowned. "Go talk to him." he said.

"He doesn't want me to." Wooseok rolled his eyes.

"Go." he lifted him out of his seat, sending him to the other.
