lavender roses + dongjun

+ this is an attachment to my Young Wings story collection on AO3! Better known for my readers as Strawberries and Cigarettes and Coming Home!  I never posted this short on Wattpad because I didn't want to make a new book for it but it couldn't be added to the S&C book or CM! This is for those who haven't read it!

Also, if you haven't read Strawberries and Cigarettes or Coming Home you might be confused as those two books explain what's going on!  Feel free to read those first if you want to!+

the first time Junhee sees Donghun Lee he feels his heart flutter like soft butterfly wings. his chest tingles and his mouth goes dry.

he sees this boy, this extremely sad but beautiful looking boy with his chin propped up in his hand as he leans on his school desk. Those glassy down turned eye looking so watery with tears but none fall, because there are none.

a cute baby face, all youthful chubby cheeks and pouty lips.

Jun finds himself watching this boy, who's a year older apparently, sit in their shared art class and just be.

he watches him leave the class, sees him a lunch and before and after school. 
he sees him with Sehyoon Kim, another older boy, his only friend probably.

Junhee spends a good month just watching Donghun, enjoying his sight and aesthetic as the other moves around the earth like an ethereal being.

Then they speak for the first time. Junhee knows he's in love.

They bump into each other, literally. Donghun slams into Junhees chest one day after school and sends them both crashing to the ground.

if Junhee Park ever though that Donghun was pretty before, he'd love to take that statement back and say that the older was actually indescribable. Those sad eyes are so much more expressive up close, his nose scrunches a lot and the rushed flash of braces laced teeth just adds to the cuteness of it all.

Stuttered words of apology and a soft rose petals blush, and he's a goner.

The first meeting is the catalyst to their future, soon shy glances turn into greetings which turn into talks which turns into hang outs.

somehow Junhee joins Donghun and Sehyoons friendship and form a trio.

Sehyoon and Junhee dislike each other, they both rub each other the wrong way. Junhee would never admit this out loud, but maybe he was always slightly worried that Donghun and Sehyoon could start a relationship at any moment and that caused Jun to be an asshole to the other. Granted Sehyoon fired back with just as much heat.

But despite not enjoying each other's company, Donghun smiled so brightly.

That was one of the things Junhee fell for, because while he knew his own smile was pretty Donghuns took his breath away. How could someone radiate so much love and happiness with a toothy smile, how could it be so bright that it blinded the sun.

but Sehyoon and Junhee shared the determination of keeping that smile on Donghuns lips forever. 

a year after their friendship Junhee and Donghun became more.

Late nights spent with their lips pressed together and warm hands on their skin. cheap beer and sweet tasting candies on their tongues. 
sneaking glances in class and laced pinkies in the hallways.

Innocent attraction and distractions. but the fear of rejection stripped the possible label of boyfriend's , instead a complicated relationship of mutual love but never spoken words.

Junhee never pushed it, he knew how fucked up the hand of cards that Donghun had to play with, he long accepted the others insecurities and fear.

love makes us do stupid things, love makes us so blind.

nights were spent in bed, the taste of Donghuns skin on his tongue instead of beer, the warm skin under his finger tips and the sounds that marked themselves into his ears. 
drowning in the love he felt radiating off of the other.

when Byeongkwan and Chan joined their group, and Donghun stopped talking to Sehyoon as much, Junhee felt so much more confident. He understood what love meant, he knew that he loved Donghun. 
but Donghun remained scared, never denying, but always rejecting. 
so he waited.

even after Donghun scampered off, junhee loved him.

the months he was missing, Junhee loved him.

the ignored calls and sleepless nights, Junhee loved him.

when Donghun finally came back: smelling like pot and the finger shaped bruises of his hips and thighs, he loved him.

Glassy eyes still held stars in them, braces free teeth still shined when he smiled, nose still scrunched up.

Donghun was still Junhees home, the confessions finally fell from his lips with no regrets, or fear of rejection. because he would allow it anymore.

love makes us do stupid things, but we fight for those we care about.

They're so young, but Junhee sees a future with Donghun. He likes the idea of a small house for them, a few pets and a nice livingroom.

He wants to continue to wake up with Donghuns head on his chest, or snuggled into his side. to see the morning light touch sleeping features and turn his skin bronze.

Junhee isn't the best cook, but he doesn't mind burning some eggs if it means Donghun has a sleepy smile on his lips as he watches from his spot on the counter.

He wants see a flash of symbiotic metal on the others hand, pretty lavender roses and nice suits. Donghun Park has such a nice ring to it.

Junhee doesn't plan on letting Donghun go again, he fucked up once and played chicken so now it's time to stake his claim. 

Donghun is his Home .
