ROOMMATE

RM 15

Another day passed.Another day with out Baekhyun.

If Yoora did not kick him out of the cafe he would have stayed there throughout the night. He had been spending most of his time there anyway.Work kept him busy.Studying and hanging out with his friends took up his time too.He would do anything.Anything that would keep him out of the house.

Chanyeol sighed as he stared at the apartment's door.He did not want to open it.It would be the same dark place.He chuckled despite himself. Was its weird for him to think that he was now terrified at arriving at an empty place when he had been living alone for more than a year now?

All he had to do was to open his big mouth and ruin everything.He new that,that was a sore topic for Baekhyun.But he just have to rub it in.

The door remained impasassive in front of him.In a parallel world,Baekhyun would be waiting for him.He would welcome Chayeol, hug him,and maybe k---

Chanyeol grunted in annoyance. That word's Chanyeol was one lucky bastard.

He stared at the door.What he would not give to come home right now.....

Then the door opened and a mass of black assualted his chest.It tooked him a full minute to process what was happening before his arm shoot out to steady Baekhyun.

It was Baekhyun in a flesh,not a figment of his imagination.Chanyeol could not help but stare at the head resting on his shoulder.It was Baekhyun here at home.

Baek shifted and look at him.Their faces were only inch apart that Chanyeol could smell the alcohol from his breath.He stared at those blurry eyes that stared back at him.Oh,how he missed this face,this person.He made sure to commit to memory every line and sharp points of Baek's face.

Chanyeol forgot to breath unconsciously tightened the arms around Baekhyun.He was a fool to think of not going home tonight if this what was waiting for him.If he only new that Baekhyun came back,he would have not taken the extra shift.He would fly here in an instant.

He shifted the guy in his arms."Are you drunk?"

"Hmmm?No?I drank just a little~"
Baek crooned and adjust his head so he could stare at Chanyeol's face while leaning on the shoulder.

Chanyeol wanted to touch those cheeks,stroke those jawbone as Baekhyun gave a small yawn but he would not.He would not push his luck. He would be contented with what little physical contact he was allowed to do.For the ninth time today,he sighed.You can be quiet a masochist.

He felt thankful that no one in the corridor around this time.He wanted this moment to be private,just the two of them,away from prying eyes.

He push Baekhun away from his body which earned him a dissatisfied sound."Lets go inside first.

Baekhyun did not let go of Chanyeol and they went inside their apartment,hugging,He seemed to be aiming to the sofa but Chanyeol stirred him to Baek's room.

"No.you rest in your room."

Baek groaned in response.

When Chanyeol tucked him in and started walking away.Baek frantically grabbed at the hem of Chanyeol's shirt.Chanyeol stumbled and sat back on the bed.He tried to stand up again.

"No,Baek's gripped on the fabric tightened.

Chanyeol tousled Baek's hair."You need to rest."

Baek pouted as he turned his misty eyes to Chanyeol."I'm sorry,I'm really sorry.Don't hate me."

He began to sob and clung to the sleeve of Chanyeol's shirt.Chanyeol's silence made Baek gripped tighter.He murmured his apology again and again.

If there was one thing Chanyeol learned from experiencing Baekhyun's drunken state.it was that Baek could get really clingy when drunk. When sober,Baek was untouchable.He was like un ethereal God,best looked from afar that no mortal would dare approach.He always wore a detached facial expression and kept to himself. That was why Chanyeol could not approach Baek.

When they started living together,He learned that Baek was a really private person but easy to get along with.Still,even with outgoing friends like the guy from the bar,Baek was not the type of initiate any touching.

So when Baek leaned his head on his shoulder back at the bar that night,it was both exhila- rating and nerve wracking.The person he had been wanting to talk to all those months was suddenly snuggling in his arms.

Really drunk Baekhyun was the most dangerous.He was bad for Chanyeol's heart in every sense of the world.

"Okay let go of my sleeve first."Chanyeol said not unkindly as he rubbed Baek's knuckles, trying to soothe the others mood.

But Baek just shook his head and sobbed.

"Don't cry,"Chanyeol wrapped his arms around Baek's shoulder.The warmth made Baek cry even more.

Chanyeol chuckled,helplessness in his voice when he said."What should I do with you?"

Then remained in the position with Chanyeol rubbing Baek's back untill the other calmed down.He stopped crying but did not let go of Chanyeol.Chanyeol rubbed his hand on Baek's arm.

"Sleep.I'll stay here untill you do."Chanyeol said.

The way Baekhyun's eyes glinted told Chanyeol that he said the wrong thing.And it was proven when Baek said,"Then I won't sleep so you'll stay here."

Chanyeol laughed.He was going to lose his mind if he was not already.If he had not seen all those toppled cans of beer in the living room,he would not believe that Baek was drunk and was testing him instead.
