So sweet on you

All In

The half hidden moon shone through the curtains in Taecyeon's room making crisscrossing shadows on Nichkhun's warm skin. He shivered slightly as a light touch caressed down his side, and he smiled into a warm tan neck as the arms behind him pulled him closer. Lazy kisses trailed down the sides of his face until one firm kiss pressed into the base of his throat. He opened his eyes on a laugh, and as quickly as the light airy sound bubbled up within him it died a swift death.

Taecyeon stared down at him with so much intensity he momentarily forgot to breathe, and just like that his chest moved again rising and falling as before. There was something on his face wasn't there,,,or maybe he just looked a little different in the dark of night. His nervousness making him hyper aware to his lover so close to him, and that look in his eyes he was afraid to interpret. He watched on high alert as Taecyeon leaned his head down for a kiss, and practically went cross eyed watching him connect their lips.

The kiss was soft, and sweet and tugged at Nichkhun in low places he couldn't quite put his finger on. Taecyeon kept the pace as they continued the slow drugging kisses, and when he pulled back he was once again trapped in that intense gaze. His skin itched, and he longed to reach up and scratch wherever it was. Taec's gaze made him ner...

"I love you." the words cut off his thoughts making his heart squeeze, and a cold sweat slipped between his shoulder blades.

Nichkhun shivered against the sudden cold and attempted to sit up, and shift the comforter that had slipped to their hips in sleep, upwards and over them. A hand gripped his forearm as he pushed himself up on his elbows, and again he turned towards Taecyeon...eyes downcast.

" I mean it Nick...I love you," Taecyeon urged softly as he slowly drew Nickhun back down to him as he continued," Wo ai ni...Aisheteru...Saranghae.. Je T'aime...Te ...,"

Taecyeon's lips curled up in a smile against the palm of Nichkhun's hand where it had clapped over his mouthed. And just like that all the hope that Nichkhun had held at bay over all those years broke free, and he found himself in the arms of the man he had loved for so long. Collapsing in a heap against Taecyeon's chest his muscles and bruises screamed in agony, but he ignored it all. He knew he was shaking, but he refused to get overly emotional.

" You're a fucking idiot," his voice muffled in warm skin beneath his lips.

He could hear the smile in his voice when he replied," Yeah....but you know you love me."

The afternoon was spent on the couch, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom. They didn't do much but hang out, and enjoy being in each others company. Taecyeon had another table read later that evening at 6pm, and so they were wasting time together. The more time they spent in silence the more Nichkhun mind kept going around in circles about Wooyoung and Junho. He had promised himself to keep his nose out of their business, but somehow he didn't think he would be able to manage it.

Halfway through Nick''s book the doorbell rang at 5:30, and in a flurry of goodbyes he found himself alone again. He didn't feel up to cooking anything so he ordered out, wandering around the apartment as he waited. He flopped onto the couch carefully, and tried to distract himself from the thought of his stomachs impending death when the doorbell rang.

Food!!

Nichkhun walked swiftly to the door, and had it open reaching out for his food before stopping abruptly.

"Hey," a sheepish Junho held out the plastic bag that held his dinner,"...so the delivery guy dropped this off just now."

Junho's voice was light, but his body was tense. Not wanting to keep them both in the hall Nichkun stepped back to let his long time member and friend into the apartment. The door closed behind the two of them with a soft click, and for the first time in 8 years it was awkward. Taking the bag to have something to do Nichkhun walked to the kitchen, and set the food on the counter.

The back of his neck tingled, and he would bet his left arm that Junho was staring at his back intensely. He didn't really know what to say, even after all the preparation that he and Wooyoung had done the words wouldn't come up and out. Pushing a deep breathe out he turned around and opened his mouth, and he was immediately silenced with soft lips.

A pin could have dropped in the loud silence of the room. Hell...Taecyeon's apartment could have filled with babbling 2pm fans, and still it wouldn't have been even close to the shock of Junho's soft kiss.

"Please..."

The soft desperate whisper tickled his lips, as Junho spoke against his mouth. Wetness slid down his left cheek, and he looked up startled at the sensation on his face. An agonized sense of desolation filled him as he braced himself for Junho's next words.

"Hyung....please...I've always loved ...I've always loved him," Junho had separated their lips, and with his confession had sagged against him with his face pushed into the crook of Nichkhun's neck.

" I'll beg...I'll plead..I'll do anything, just...just don't take him away from me," The sad words were muffled into the warm skin of his neck.

His mind whirled in circles at the new information, and could only think that being like this was going to get old real quick. Junho was still a heavy weight against his neck, and it was obvious that he was in no real position to think.

Pulling back he looked at his younger members face with concern, and a sad and exhausted face looked back at him. Pushing the situation at hand away he walked the younger male to the guest room, as he blindly followed him with heavy steps.

In a moment that echoed the care of Taecyeon for him only days before he tucked his fellow member into the soft bed, and watched as the young man fell asleep. His taut and tired face relaxed in sleep, and the sadness wiped away in the oncoming dreams.

Closing the bedroom silently behind him he looked blankly around the empty living room, and wondered vaguely what they were going to do. Laying his head back against the door he gave another deep sigh.

He'd thought to himself before that he shouldn't get involved, but now he knew for sure that was impossible.

Author notes:

Soooooo....sorry that it's been super duper long but here is the next chapter. If you're wondering why Junho kissed Nichkhun...it's because my brain wouldn't not let it happen lol. It was either give a kiss and this situation, or a completely different one that even I was shocked over. The kiss was more a desperate offering in hopes that Nichkhun would see his desperate love for Junho. It makes no sense, but when you are desperately in love and it's about to slip out of your grasp you do insane and crazy things when presented with the prospect of being too late.
