fancy clothes.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

beomgyu knocks on taehyun's front door with a wide grin on his face. a heavy nike bag is strapped across his chest, but he doesn't feel tired at all. he rocks back and forth on his feet, waiting happily for him to answer. but he doesn't. 

beomgyu nervously taps his foot on the paved steps, heaving out a heavy sight. was he not supposed to come this weekend? he tries the doorbell instead, but again, no one answers. 

as he's growing more and more nervous, he realises the door isn't locked. beomgyu opens it carefully and notices all the lights are on. "taehyun?" 

beomgyu walks inside and closes the door behind him. "hello? taehyun?" foot steps come from the livingroom and rocky pokes his head around the corner. beomgyu jumps at the presense of the dog, but pats him gently as he approaches him with a wagging tail. 

"hi, boy!" beomgyu says happily as takes off his shoes. leaving his bag in the entrance and starting his quest to find taehyun. 

the house is surprisingly quiet, but beomgyu knows someone's home. and it takes him no time whatsoever to find the boy he's looking for. because when he enters the living room he's met with an adorable sight. 

taehyun is knocked out on the sofa, the television is playing some quiet music beomgyu has heard before. brave enough by leehi fills his ears and beomgyu smiles. 

but the smile fades as he notices the bucket sitting next to the sofa. and an half empty packet of painkillers are strewn across the table along with a spilt glass of water dissolving them. worry washes over him like an icy wave.

"taehyun!" he yelps, hurrying over to the other, fearing he might've tried to hurt himself again. but luckily taehyun wakes up with a small jolt as beomgyu squeezes his shoulders. and rocky sits worriedly next to the bucket on the floor. 

"hyung, you're early." he whispers, yawning quietly as he rubs his eyes. 

"oh my god." beomgyu sighs in relief, wrapping his arms around taehyun as he sits up. "i thought you'd hurt yourself." 

"don't worry, hyung. i had a panic attack earlier today and i must've fallen asleep after taking painkillers for my ginormous headache." taehyun reassures beomgyu, patting his back carefully. 

"are you feeling better now then?" beomgyu asks, before placing a gentle kiss on taehyun's cheek as they part. 

"yeah, but i'm still feeling a bit sick."

beomgyu rubs taehyun's stomach carefully. he's worried taehyun might throw up, because this time he can't call hyejin. whilst the younger looks around the living room with a confused look on his face. 

"why you didn't bring anything. are you not allowed to stay over?" taehyun asks with sad eyes and beomgyu smiles. 

"i left the bag in the entrance, don't worry. i'm staying all weekend. but why's rocky here?" he asks, pointing at the quiet dog. 

"i promised kai i'd look after him for the day. but can we go unpack it? i need a distraction from my stomach ache." 

"of course, let's go!" beomgyu says happily, taking taehyun's hand in his own. together they walk into the entrance and retrieve the older's bag. rocky walks behind them with a happy tail. 

taehyun guides them both to his room. and this time it's different. instead of just magazine cutouts and clothing sketches filling the walls, there are also dried flowers and sketches of people taped to the walls. 

there's a new exo poster accompanying the one beomgyu has already seen. and a weird framed photo of someone's forehead hanging over taehyun's night stand. (kyungsoo forehead enthusiasts rise)

bubbles sits happily on taehyun's bed alongside a stuffed dog soobin and yeonjun got him when they went on an amusement park date last weekend. taehyun's desk is filled with papers and pencil sharpenings. it makes beomgyu happy, he's glad taehyun has found something he loves to do. 

"have you discovered a new hobby?" beomgyu asks as he sits down on the bed. he points at the drawings of people taehyun has drawn from memory. 

"i'm really into sketching people nowadays and not just the clothes they're wearing." taehyun says, looking at the drawing on the wall. he sits down next to beomgyu's bag. 

"speaking of drawing. i brought you a gift, hyun." beomgyu smiles happily, unzipping his nike bag. and happily pulls out a flat, neatly wrapped present. 

"what? why?" taehyun asks with a darkening blush. the wrapping paper has bears on it and there's a pretty white bow on top of the present. 

"just because," beomgyu says, handing it to the other with a shy smile. 

taehyun starts unwrapping the present carefully. he doesn't want to ruin the paper, because he wants to keep it as a treasure. the gift is cold against his hands and he looks up at beomgyu and smiles. 

it's a sketch book. there's a childish drawing of a mushroom on the cover, that beomgyu has drawn and glued on. taehyun smiles widely and looks up at beomgyu. 

"thank you, hyung." he whispers, putting the sketchbook on his night stand before hugging the other tightly. 

"should we start unpacking?" beomgyu asks, and by that he means putting his toothbrush next to taehyun's in the cup the bathroom. 

taehyun nods and starts pulling out the things in his bag. beomgyu has packed clothes for the entire weekend. pajamas, a pair of shorts, long trousers and two hoodies.

but at the bottom of the bag there's a olive shirt, cream wide-legged trousers and a pair of black dress shoes taehyun thinks beomgyu might've stolen from his dad. 

"why did you pack fancy clothes?" he asks, pulling out the pair of shoes and shows them to the dog, lying on the floor. rocky sniffs them curiously. 

"you said i had to take you out on a date to be your boyfriend." 

instead of smiling, taehyun's face displays an uncomfortable frown. it makes beomgyu worry, the stomach ache must be worsening. 

"are you alright?" he asks, putting a hand on taehyun's shoulder. 

"i'm just nauseous, hyung." taehyun says, patting rocky's soft fur as beomgyu takes his other hand in his own. 

"then let's go for a walk."
