Pan's Bridle

It started off as a game, a play between "brothers" in indulgence of their fans' appetite for "skinship" amongst members. Sehun would wrap his arm about Baekhyun's shoulder; the elder would reciprocate by taking his hand. They'd smile at each other, now coyly, now brazenly, and at the end of the show laugh it all off. But with each performance Sehun would find himself clinging onto his hyung an instant longer, an inch closer, his reluctance to let go that body growing ever deeper. Awareness turned to agitation, agitation to impatience, impatience to need, need to hurt. The pain...he can scarce reason for it at times, but if he clenches his teeth hard enough and holds his breath long enough, eventually, it will pass.
