And You Were Here Today

Knock Knock.

Tony awoke, startled. He rubbed his eyes trying to clear his vision. He had no recollection of ever being here. In front of the door. On the ground. I slept here??

He rose from his feet. Not letting go of his giant stuffed animal. He heard light footsteps as he turned the door knob.

A strong smell of a home-cooked meal fiddled between his nostrils. There stood at the entrance, a lunch bag.

That's....odd.

Tony stared at the lunch bag. Even though he felt pretty hungry, he didn't want to touch the food. Something wasn't right... Heejun usually sends takeouts. He can't cook, and surely doesn't have time to learn anyway. So, why is a lunch bag sitting out here?

Tony stuck his head out, hoping to see whoever left this in front of his door. No one was there.

"H-Hello?" He called out.
No answer.

He hesitantly kneeled in front of the lunch bag. Smelling its sweet contents inside. He could tell it was his favorite comfort food.

He opened the bag, making a white piece of paper fall from the inside.

Tony,

Heejun told me he wasn't going to bring you food anymore. He thinks that by doing so, you'll eventually get out of the house.... but i felt bad, so i made you this. Please pick up your phone when we call. We worry about you.

Kangta

Tony let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't some random creep trying to poison him as he initially thought, it was just Kangta.

He quickly took the food and went back inside. The giant pup going everywhere he went. Seeing everything he did. Hearing everything he said. Eating everything he ate. His loyal companion, it was.

The pup sat aside of Tony, on the kitchen counter. Watching him munch on the food kangta had made for him. Waiting for Tony to speak.

Tony took a mouthful, "...it tastes just like how Woohyuk made it..."

He took another bite, chewing slowly this time. Savoring every bit this time.

"Yeah...just like his."

Tony looked at the pup, " y'know," he chuckled, " he used to make me this everytime we got in a fight. It was his way of apologizing to me... though most the time I was in the wrong, and I acknowledge that now but, he was the one who always apologized..."

He took another bite, "god this is so fucking good, God bless kangta."

He looked at the pup once again, "want some?"

"..."

"More for me I guess."

Tony threw the plastic containers into the sink. He took the giant pup with him once again. Laying on the couch once again. Taking the video camera, and watching the same clip over and over again.

He smiled, "oh you and your stupid little vlogs..."

Woohyuk had the habit of recording most of everything he did. Everything they did. He said it was for safe keeping. He wanted to have something to go back to and re-watch, relive, their greatest hits.

Tony let go of the camera. He began to play with the ring on his finger. Taking it out to read what was engraved in it, for the hundredth time.

I love you, My top star

He smiled again, " I love you too, my wild guy."
