STORIES OF EXO

Baeksoo- sneeze= earth tremors

It’s all fun and games when you’re born with superpowers, really, but when you fall sick, woopdidoo, all hell breaks loose.

You see, superheros aren’t always as ‘super’ as you think they are. Yeah, they may save a burning building or help a cat get down a tree countless times, but when you’re cursed with the flu, especially someone with powers like Kyungsoo’s, it’s really in those times you would question if being born with powers was a blessing or a curse.

Well, a certain male pities Kyungsoo to some extent, but really, he pities himself more. He’s wrapped himself in light, like a body ‘suit’ to protect himself from the germs. He doesn’t know what’s worse, having to pick up all the disgusting used tissues of having to get used to (and not jump at) Kyungsoo’s incessant sneezing that would cause light shakes to occur in the household. Baekhyun thanks the heavens for pointing Kyungsoo in the right direction of buying a landed property, though.

“Remind me again why I agreed to take care of you when you’re sick,” Baekhyun sighs as he walks out of the bathroom carrying a small bucket of water with a face towel draped over his arm. He places the bucket down on Kyungsoo’s bed side and looks down at his poor boyfriend who looks like he’s dying and not just sick. Well, I certainly feel like I’m dying! Kyungsoo retorted.

“Because you love me,” Kyungsoo’s face scrunches up and Baekhyun practically shields his face (which doesn’t help) as he was prepared for the light tremor.

“Geez I hate it when that happens.”

“And you do not wish to feel anymore terrorizing tremors that cause your body to shake in fear and have I told you that you look really cute when you’re scared?” Kyungsoo laughs.

Baekhyun scoffs and proceeds to soak the face towel in the water before wringing it and folding it into a neat rectangle. He gently brings the back of his hand up to feel Kyungsoo’s forehead, he quickly retracts it when he feels the boy’s burning forehead.

“Sheesh, you’re really warm.”

Baekhyun placed the wet towel on his forehead.

“AH-“

“Fuck-“

“-CHOO!”

Tremor.

“Why does the ground have to shake, goodness gracious. You know what, if you could sneeze hard enough while you’re out on a mission I bet you’ll send the enemy flying to China,” Baekhyun joked and Kyungsoo just rolled his eyes at him.

“It’s just a superhero effect. Didn’t your bedroom lights go off when you were sick and you sneezed?”

Baekhyun hesitated before saying, “But mine’s less harmless!” Kyungsoo ignored him.

“Oh and when your lights went out you practically screamed like a girl and I remember going into your room to calm you down because you wouldn’t stop shaking and sobbing and-“

“Okay, okay, I remember.” Baekhyun’s face fell and he suddenly found interest in looking at his feet.

Kyungsoo raised and eyebrow at him and his features softened. “Hey, hey Baek look at me,” Kyungsoo lifted his arm to tilt Baekhyun’s chin up with his fingers and looked lovingly into his eyes. “It’s okay to be scared sometimes. I know I’d be scared if I didn’t have earth around me all the time. But, whatever it is, we’re there for each other, am I right?”

Baekhyun nodded in response.

“Good. Now I think we both need the rest,” Kyungsoo said, gently pulling Baekhyun toward him to place a feathery kiss on Baekhyun’s forehead. Baekhyun stood up and went over to the other side of the bed to climb under the same covers Kyungsoo was wrapped in. He scooted closer to the smaller boy and turned to face him before throwing an arm around his waist. He pecked Kyungsoo’s temple before nuzzling his face in the crook of Kyungsoo’s neck.

“Get well soon, little Earthquake.”
