Red Flags | Chanbaek

𝐗𝐈𝐕

The streets were empty, lights lighting it up and the cold air flowing around it all felt like a movie. Baek sat in the back of the car strapped in a seatbelt still wearing pajamas as if he's a kid, confused he looked at the dinosaurs that were laid in a pattern on his pants and the big green one on his shirt.

"Why do I have to wear this, I'm seventeen not a five year old going through a dinosaur faze."

"Cops are looking to question you, once they question you they will come question me again and then things will go very wrong. And your about to filed as a missing person and I don't wanna go to jail. Plus they would hook you up to lie detector test so you'd fail instantly." He said eyes glued to the road.

"How do you know all this?"

"Its just super obvious, but you fucking suck at lying and they'll catch on quick.

Baekhyun rolled his eyes, "am not. I just would never lie to a cop that's just shit I don't do."

"Well I'm not gonna risk it with you."

"Then why do you have kid pajamas?

"I felt like they would come in handy. I was right."

The rest of the ride was silent, pulling up to a convince store chanyeol got out the car grabbing a jacket and opening the back door unbuckling Baek and picking him up again.
He closed the door and slipped the jacket on baekhyun pulling the hood over his head enough his eyes weren't seen, yeol putting a hat on his head and covering his eyes to his best abilities and walking in the store.

He held Baek on his head and forced his head to lay on his shoulder and act like he was just a sleepy kid. Walking inside the building he was quick to look around before grabbing a basket and filled it with some snacks and juice boxes along with bottles of water, heading into the hair section he grabbed four boxes of hair dye and a couple other things.

Walking to the register he placed the basket on the counter, cashier was quick to start scanning his items as yeol fixed the younger on his hip and looked around the room. "I see someone's gonna be dying their hair." The cashier commented.

"Yeah my daughter is a hair stylist wanted to use it on a Manikin." Chanyeol responded back.

"Ohh, and this little one here must be sleepy."

"Yep we've been on the road for hours, my baby was drained from a long day."

"Aww, we'll get home safely you two."
She said placing the rest of the items in the bag and handing the bags to the male. He said thank you and was quick to walk out the building heading to his car he opened the door again and placed baekhyun in the back seat. He placed the bags in the trunk and threw the basket by the building getting in and driving off.

They finally walked inside the house, baekhyun sitting in the couch biting gently on his bottom lip as he waged the older male.

"Cmon, get in the bathroom?"

"What are we doing?"

"Dying our hair. Now let's go."

The younger obediently nodded walking in the bathroom and sitting down on the closed toilet waiting for his boyfriend to come in. Yeol walked in with the bag of boxes and set them on the counter.

He did Baek's hair first, he first had really light brown hair sort mixed with blonde strains which turned into a dark brown and yeol even cut his hair a bit to make him look a tad bit different. He wasn't the best considering he doesn't do this item and he's not a hair stylist but he tried hard to not fuck it up as much as possible.

Yeol bleached his hair because he had dark brown hair and he went blonde giving him a new hair style so he looks different as well.

"Are we basically running from the cops."

"Yeah, cause whatever happens if they find you they're gonna come after me and I already lied to a cop about breaking up with you and not seeing you."

"Why do they wanna see me? I didn't do anything."

"They think you have something to do with my mother's passing." Chanyeol said turning his head to glare at the younger before going g back to touching up his hair.

"S-She's dead?"

"Mhm."

"I'm so sorry babe." Baek said hugging yeols waist. The older didn't hug back or anything just kept touching up his hair before pushing him away.

"Get in the shower." He said and Baek sighed just obeying and slipping his clothes off.

After Baek got in yeol got in with him turning the water on and grabbing the shampoo and conditioner. "Do you still like me?" Baek randomly asked looking down fiddling with his fingers as the older ran his slender fingers through Baek's new brown locks.

"I'm still mad at you, but yeah I do."

"Are you sure your just not saying that to not hurt my feelings."

"I don't care about anyone's feelings, even if your family, friend, lover, an acquaintance or someone I work with I don't care. I'll hurt your feeling whether you like it or not."

"But this is still a real good relationship and not just a relationship where I become a punching bag when your angry and one where we have to hide from the cops."

Chanyeol sighed, "yes baby."

"But you said you'll try to stop hitting me. Why'd you lie?"

"I'm not good at promises. So just don't piss me off and we'd be living our best life."

"Do you love me? The way you said you did?"

Chanyeol turned Baek around and gave his pouty lips a kiss, "yes, don't think otherwise even if I'm super mad and treat you terribly. I promise once things dial down I'll be better, and I'll try and keep this promise but you gotta help me."

Baekhyun quickly nodded his head and hugged the older males waist tightly hiding his face in his chest and the water rained on both of them.
