Dream Wandering • Yunsang

Happy 18th Yunho

The day after their first kiss passed by in a blur for Yunho. It was a school day and Yunho spent it going through the motions. He got up, smiling like an idiot, he showered, still smiling, he ate breakfast really quickly and the zoomed out of the house before his parents could question his happiness, he went to school where his friends did question his, "love struck" as they called it, mood (they were more or less aware of Yunho's soulmate situation), there were classes, eating, more classes, more eating, chatting with friends, bike ride home, homework, dinner and Yunho was in bed by 8.30.

When Yunho had finally fallen asleep and appeared in his familiar dream world Yeosang was waiting shyly, kicking at the grass beneath his feet.

"Hi" Yunho had said.

"Hi" Yeosang had repeated.

The two kind of awkwardly shuffled towards each other, giving each other a hug, but then before Yeosang could pull away Yunho had found himself holding on, his arms tightening around Yeosang's waist, and just like that they were kissing again.

Since they had been sitting the whole time for their previous kiss height didn't make much of a difference, but now that they were standing and kissing it was evident that they were two very different heights. Yunho had most definitely had a growth spurt since first meeting Yeosang.

Yeosang had to go on his tippy toes to meet Yunho's lips and Yunho did his best to lean down so the younger wouldn't have to stretch, holding him up and pulling him close.

Yunho never knew he had this want in him, to kiss someone like his life depended on it.

They'd occasionally pull away ever so slightly muttering that they should probably do something productive like studying, but then they'd just giggle and they'd be kissing again their lips shifting between soft brushes and then something more deeper that had their mouths colliding like stars meeting in the blackness of the universe.

Yunho had spent the last couple of nights just kissing Yeosang like this, standing, holding him, it's a wonder their lips hadn't dropped off by now.

Today was the day of Yunho's 18th and all he wanted to do was sleep, for obvious reasons.

His parents organised him a big breakfast in the morning and gave him presents; new books and switch games.

In the late afternoon his friends came over to celebrate and had thrown him a small party full of music, balloons, pizza, junk food and games.

There was alcohol too, and Yunho was thankful that his parents had decided to go out for the night leaving and entrusting the house to him and his 6 close friends. Because his friends were getting a bit wasted. Not vomit level (yet), but drunk enough that they were tripping over nothing and uttering nonsense.

They played Cards Against Humanity and Cyanide and Happiness, and they pulled out the switch all racing each other in Mario Kart, before battling it out in Super Smash Bros. They then chatted about anything and everything, played truth or dare and finally, too wasted to do anything else topped of the night by watching movies.

It was a great party but Yunho only wished that Yeosang were here too, as a friend, soulmate, partner, whatever they were he just wanted him by his side.

Yunho was jealous of his friends, because they all had their soulmates with them Hongjoong had San, Seonghwa had Wooyoung, and Jongho had Mingi. Yunho wished that he had his Yeosang with him. He wished that he could hold hands with Yeosang, to whisper funny jokes in his ear about this and that, to show that he wasn't alone.

Had Yeosang even ever gone to a party before? Yunho had no idea.

By the time Yunho finally got to sleep it was around 3 in the morning, all his friends had crashed all over the living room floor, and his own head was throbbing from the all the alcohol and lack of sleep. He was sure he'd eaten enough pizza and candy to last him a lifetime and was thankful that the mix didn't have him running to the bathroom to puke.
