Newly Arrived Feelings

   Yunho woke to the younger boy's arms wrapped around him. He didn't want to wake the other, so he sat and admired his features. Mingi's face was soft and emotionless as his body grew and deflated with every breath. Yunho's face was in the shorter's neck, he could feel the other's ridged collarbone against his own soft cheek. Yunho watched as Mingi's chest rose and fell and recalled the previous night's events. He knew everything would be fine in the long run, so why was he stressing so much? He knew Mingi was fine with it, so why was it still on his mind? All the tall boy could think about was the feeling of his friend's soft lips against his. He could hardly even remember the specifics, upon recall he felt like it only lasted a second.

   Mingi woke up to Yunho staring at his lips. A small twinge of dread flooded Yunho's mind. It didn't help that the two boys were already intertwined with each other, but the fact that Yunho was looking longingly at the younger's lips didn't help. They sat in silence for what seemed like a year to Yunho, but Mingi eventually came to.

   "Morning." Yunho managed to get out. He realized his voice had cracked mid-word and immediately blushed. He wasn't used to being this awkward, but he had to roll with it.

   Mingi responded in an assortment of groans and gurgles to which resembled a 'good morning', but the older boy couldn't tell. He could only smile inwardly at Mingi's morning glow as the shorter boy slowly sat up from their previous position.

   The younger boy stretched and got out of bed to go to the bathroom. Yunho wanted to whine at the loss of comfort and warmth, but all he did was shove his face into his pillow before eventually finding the courage to get up. When he did, he went straight to the kitchen and started to cook breakfast. He didn't usually eat breakfast, but he enjoyed making food for the younger excitable boy.

   Yunho opened the fridge to find two sad eggs and a flimsy piece of bacon. He would've been okay with the small meal if Mingi would be satisfied, but Yunho knew he wouldn't. That boy had the appetite of a starved puppy. He picked up his phone a dialed the nearest fast food restaurant that delivered at this time, and placed an order. Yunho figured it could be a nice surprise for his friend.

   At this point, Mingi had come out of the bathroom and sat on the living-room couch. The younger boy seemed to be more awake and energized as he took the remote from the table and turned on the TV. They had only been friends for a few months, but they were close enough to come and go from each other's homes as they pleased.

   Running his hand through his now aqua blue hair, Yunho carried himself to the living-room to give the breakfast news.

   "So we don't have much to eat because I haven't gone to the store.. but... I ordered some food and it will be here soon. Why we wait though, I'm going to take a shower." As Yunho finished, he noticed how red his younger friend's hands where.

   "Dude your hands freaked me out for a second." Yunho chuckled as he took his friend's hand. Mingi's hands felt soft and kind despite the fact that they looked deadly.

   "Guess you caught me... red hAnDed!" Mingi forced out, choking on his words as if they hurt to say. All Yunho could do was stare at him with utter disappointment while the younger looked at him, waiting for his reaction. A reaction wasn't given. Yunho immediately turned and headed towards the bathroom, yelling for Mingi to listen for the delivery guy.

   This was the first time he had looked at his newly blue hair since the previous night. The marble countertop and leftover bleach-kits were all too familiar to him. He could imagine the younger sitting in the chair that still sat in front of the mirror, giggling at his silly reflection before him.

   As Yunho turned on the shower, he noticed his blue-stained hands. They looked ungodly, like if someone had drained all of the blood from them. Yunho took off his sleepwear and hopped into the now-warm shower. Upon the immediate touch, Yunho's hair color mixed with the water and oozed down his body like melted ice-cream.
