Prompt o6-o9 fluffy, hunger, cinderella, priceless
For the Casual Writer @ in_vazn
o6. Fluffy
DBSK (Changmin)
All of them hurt.
When Changmin wakes up from the consequential sleep caused another one of his… episodes, he hears voices, like the slow lapping of the ocean against the shore at high tide, growing louder and stronger as he floats back into consciousness. He keeps his eyes closed, and steadies his breathing.
Min’s taking this really badly.
Do you think-maybe we made the wrong decision to keep on going?
I think he needs a break. We all do.
Once more, the fire in his chest wells up like blood to a new cut, flowering and bursting in him. But it doesn’t hurt as much as before, and it stings, but eventually the heat lessens into a warm throb-the hand of his hyung-one on his forehead, the other holding onto his hand. He wonders, if it takes so quickly to heal.
But when he opens his eyes, and sees his hyungs’ faces, tired and yet brimming with relief and joy at his return, he knows that that isn’t true. They could help each other though, and though they won’t be as the were before (they could never be as they were before), it would get better. They would get stronger, and closer and nobody would be able to stop them.
Sorry for worrying you guys. Now, he smiles, and he knows that this time, it spreads into him, his eyes, his face, his spirit, What was that I heard about a vacation?
o7. hunger
DBSK (Yunho x Jaejoong)
I believe you can call this… Being hungry.
He was talking to himself, and he had every right to. After-- that, they were all a little out of it, and he had every right to be out of it too. If it meant talking to himself, then so be it. To even argue about this was strange, because nobody could’ve heard him say it anyway, and they wouldn’t know what he was talking about. Which was the point. Being out of it.
…Anyway. He smirks slightly and talks out loud, because he could, and there was nobody there to hear him. I’m hungry.
And he isn’t talking about food, though he was a little peckish, but he missed it, being Dong Bang. Complete-with-five-members-Dong Bang. The old Dong Bang. He wanted it back, and he wanted the warmth and the closeness and--. He really couldn’t get it, could he?
What’s that I hear about you being hungry?
Yunho looks up, and sees Jaejoong upside-down and standing at the doorway. He rolls over and stares at the eldest, their band’s ‘umma’, and smiles, albeit weakly.
Do you need me to cook you up something?
Jaejoong moves closer, and Yunho smiles, reaches out, and pulls him down on top of him. He pulls Jaejoong close and wraps his arms around him tight and sighs, hiding his face in the crook of Jae’s neck.
No, he replies, smiling I’m okay.
o8. Cinderella
DBSG (Yoochun x Junsu)
The sky is empty, the sea wide and endless before him. As he breathes in the fresh ocean air, Yoochun thinks that this vacation was brilliant, and something he’d needed, everyone had needed.
Where there would’ve been five of them playing at the beach, this time, two of them sat inside the beach house, catching up on sleep that their cities and activities couldn’t afford them. And he stood out here, watching, breathing, living. At the thought, a small spark of pain burst in his chest, bringing a stinging feeling to his throat, like breathing in smoke.
The prickling feeling spread up his nasal passages to his nose, his eyes, translating to moisture gathering and falling down his cheeks, splattering on the wooden boardwalk he stood on.
“’Chunnie?”
He didn’t turn around, but he didn’t need to, and any attempts at hiding what he was doing was futility at best. Junsu stood behind him, silent, steady, there. Then the next thing he knew, the shorter man’s arm was around him, and they both looked out over the docks at the sea, at the sky.
Stretching endlessly before them, Yoochun smiled and leant against his friend, sniffling slightly. “How’d you know where to find me?”
“You left your slippers at the door, idiot.”
A sudden half-cough of laughter escaped his lips, and the tears dried on them as he moved in silent laughter. Sitting down and leaning on each other, the two looked as seagulls barking, circled around each other before flying inland.
“’Su, you think he’s happy?”
“…I think he’d feel better if he knew we were okay.”
“Are we okay?”
“We will be.”
o9. Priceless
DBSG (Yunho x Junsu)
♥ For aoireeza
He watches, quietly, and observes, because the sudden loss of one of his closest friends, his brother, has matured him in ways that he couldn't count and name. He knows the others feel their own pain, and somehow, Junsu doesn’t know whether it simply makes it easier to deal with his own, but he watches them, and makes sure nothing happens to them, not like it did with him.
Yunho seems to be hit the hardest, but Junsu can’t be sure because all of them were hit hard, changing them inevitably. Yunho’d always been their leader-sshi, taking care of them, taking charge, looking after them… And it would be just like their leader to now decide to take responsibility for something that he couldn’t have prevented.
So Junsu watches.
He walks past the door to Yunho’s workroom several times, peeking in, keeping an ear out for any sound-
Until Yunho seems to grow tired of their game and calls him in, smiling slightly.
Finally Junsu sees what had taken up all their leader’s time suddenly, and the sight of it makes him want to cry, to change, to go back in time and chase after memories long faded away.
“It’s something special, for him. For us to remember him by.” Yunho explains, looking at Junsu, who suddenly feels all the maturity he thought he had gained dissolve off his shoulders like a mantle lifted off. He feels like a little kid, shivering and shaking and biting his lip in an effort not to sob and cry out at the sight of a memory collection.
Something akin to a butterfly collection, he thinks, as he leans back into Yunho’s warm embrace, letting his larger frame quell the shaking he feels in his own body. Like beautiful, fragile creatures that need so much for their beauty to be preserved, Yunho has pinned down their memories, pictures and tickets to their concerts, fanletters and memorabilia and random things like used straws, a piece from the hammock they used in Bora Bora…
Junsu lets the tears fall, and lets himself fall back into Yunho as he cries, finally cries and weeps for his loss, because though Dong Bang lost a member, each of them had lost something, someone so much more important…
“Yunho…”
“Ssh. He understands.”
And Junsu cries, and falls asleep, and when he wakes up, the first thing he sees is Yunho’s chin, and before he can help himself, he reaches out to poke at the stubble growing there, laughing.
“Oi, leader-sshi, you’re really becoming an old man!!”
“Eh??”
I'm so happy with the way this is turning out-- not to mention I haven't written liek this in a while. n_n So I'm really, really, really happy!!!
...Ironic since the topic being like this... >>;; <<;; >>;;
I'm kinda separating prompt #10 because it's JaeMin and it's pretty long and I'm biased like that lolllll. Er. yes. It seems to be progressively getting less angsty. I suppose this is the healing process occurring?
