17. 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸

A loud sound broke the peaceful silence, steering the two men lying in bed awake. Baekhyun cursed when his alarm screamed at him, hissing because it hurt his ears.

One of his hands slowly emerged from under the covers and he shivered when the cold hit his bare skin. He managed to stop the alarm, sighing when the silence returned. The hunter went back to snuggle closer to the warmth around him. Chanyeol was behind him, one arm over Baekhyun's waist and the other was under Baekhyun’s head. Their legs were tangled together and he could feel the younger’s breath fan against his nape.

Baekhyun groaned when he realized he couldn’t sleep anymore, he was supposed to get to work. He tried to move but a shooting pain came from his ass and washed over him, leaving him panting a little.

With a whine he managed to shift in the other embrace, sitting up slightly to rest against the pillow. Chanyeol moved along him, his head coming to rest in his neck, arms wrapped around his waist. Baekhyun smiled faintly, the younger wasn’t awake but he was still the clingy alpha Baekhyun knew.

Baekhyun yawned before watching the younger’s form against his. His eyes roamed over the muscles, the pale skin covering it and he marvelled at how the warmth radiating from Chanyeol felt so good against his skin. His hand went through Chanyeol’s hair, stroking it slowly and playing with some strands. Being like that with Chanyeol felt so strange and also so right. Baekhyun hadn’t felt this safe and content in a while, at least for half of his life.

The hunter would have loved to think more deeply about his feelings, but he needed to call his work. Obviously if he couldn’t even sit without feeling pain, he couldn’t teach today. He wasn’t even sure he would be able to walk. His eyes scanned his surroundings, looking for his phone but unfortunately it wasn’t on his nightstand like usual. So it was probably in his pants. He needed to move without waking Chanyeol.

Suddenly the younger began to move so Baekhyun settled his eyes on him. the grip on his waist tighten and he felt Chanyeol nuzzled his neck.

“Morning” he heard a low and raspy voice greeted him.

He hummed, still playing with the black locks. He thought for a second and decided to ask the younger. Ate all it was his fault.

“Could you get me my phone, it should be in my pants or coat” he asked, voice barely above the whisper.

Chanyeol groaned but complied, parting away from Baekhyun and standing up. The latter suddenly shivered as the cold hit his skin and he regretted having made Chanyeol move. But fortunately the younger found his phone rather quickly and went back to his position, against Baekhyun with his arm around him and face in his neck. Baekhyun took his phone and thanked him.

“Why do you even need it this early in the morning ?” Chanyeol asked grumpily, snuggling even closer.

“I need to call the complex because I can’t go to work today. Apparently an alpha has forgot I was only a poor little human and used his wolf strength on me” he teased while unlocking his phone.

The arms around him held him closer and Chanyeol kissed his neck softly.

“Sorry” he mumbled.

“Don’t worry, you are just banned from touching me for at least one month” Baekhyun said with a smirk before calling his work, silencing Chanyeol who was about to speak.

He waited for someone to pick up, knowing some workers were already there in spite of the early hour. His hand in Chanyeol’s hair focused on playing with one strand, twirling it around his finger. A low appreciative growl came from Chanyeol and Baekhyun smiled.
