"Like this?" asked Eunhyuk, looking at Donghae from the mirror. Donghae carfully considered the move and gave a small shake of his head.

It had been ages since he'd started teaching Eunhyuk the missed dance choreo.

"no...it was a little to the right" he said wearily.

"You do know how many times I tried this right?"

"You wouldn't be suffering if you had come on that day, so yeah" shot back Donghae.

"urrrghh...you're so DAMN annoying Lee Donghae!" moaned Hyukjae and glanced sideways at him.

"What!?"

"Either dance WITH me or physically correct my moves without just standing there! didn't you learn anything from the way I taught you?" sighed Eunhyuk.

Donghae didn't move. 'physically?' the more he waited, the red he felt himself go.
There was NOWAY that he was going to touch Eunhyuk again.
He felt the room shrinking around him as he stood there trying to calm himself down until Eunhyuk litterally went up in smoke.

"Really Donghae!?" shouted Eunhyuk. He grabbed Donghae's in hand in frustration and placed it on his his waist.

Donghae gulped; his long fingers gripping Hyukjae's shirt, as he looked up in the mirror.

He noticed that Eunhyuk was slightly taller than him, and suddenly he felt Hyukjae's fingers curl around his hands ever so slightly that he barely felt it.

"Donghae?" he asked; with his voice full of concern "are you alright? your hand is burning hot"

as well as it should be, thought Donghae, what the hell was happening to him? he shouldn't be feeling like this at all!

"I- I'm fine" he managed to stammer.

Eunhyuk looked at Donghae and saw him avoiding his gaze. Donghae's whole frame looked so tensed that Eunhyuk frowned, what was wrong with this idiot?
He wordlessly placed his hand on Donghae's forehead, it was burning hot as well.

"I think we should stop for today then" he said finally.

"But-"

"Don't" said Eunhyuk "take a rest, it's almost 6 in the evening"

"but...what if Jong decides to kill you?" Donghae hazarded.

"He won't"

"How can you be so sure?"

Eunhyuk sighed; quite forgetting himself, he pulled the astonished Donghae close to him and placed his hand on Donghae's mouth.

"Stop it you little idot! you're honestly beginning to sound like a girl"

Donghae shook himself away from Eunhyuk and stared at him with a mixture of expressions. "am I?" he asked.

"you are" said Lee Hyukjae and walked out of the room.

That night when Donghae got into his bed, he finally switched on his new phone.
Donghae looked at it and smiled; no one had ever given him anything this expensive. He still felt like he didn't deserve it. After sliding a finger across the lockscreen, Donghae snorted when he saw the wallpaper.

Eunhyuk had already taken the liberty of changing it for him; it was a picture of an ugly black flower with the words:

'Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I've got five fingers and
the middle one's for you!'
