[Oneshot] Universality
Yunho wanted Changmin.
Changmin wanted Yunho.
This was truth, but the two of them? They didn’t know it yet.
Everyone else? Now that was a whole different case entirely. Nearly the entire universe had been waiting for them to finally get their act together and jump into a dark closet to make out (and yes, the universality of their pending relationship was a truth as well- it’s always surprising to people when they find the truth of the how deep love runs).
It was just about time the universe did something about it.

Luckily, for Changmin and Yunho, the universe did not enact its great relationship schemes while they were right in front of the public eye.
This did not mean, however, that the universe was kind. No, in fact, it enacted its great relationship scheme precisely five minutes and thirty-four seconds from their entrance into the public eye. The whole set up was meant to be confusing- this was universal hoo-ha after all- so it went something like this (in layman’s terms):
They were backstage five minutes and thirty-four seconds before a performance and Yunho was restless, pacing back and forth like a maniac, throwing surreptitious, love-sick looks at Changmin with increasing frequency. Changmin as it was, was doing the same, minus the pacing. Lucky for him, love-sickness did not impair his brain so terribly much. He had a book to ‘study (Yunho) from.’ It was a brilliant plan!
Except for the part where he didn’t notice the lovesick looks he was getting from Yunho. His brilliance still did not save him from a little bit of love-induced stupidity.
The universe, however, corrected for this small error in wooing.
Somehow, in one of the greatest universal ‘somehow’s there was, a single pebble appeared in Yunho’s way. Yunho, with a big pinwheeling of arms, tripped over said pebble while Changmin dropped his book to catch him and somewhere in the whole mess, their lips met.
The results were epic.
Fireworks went off. Babies cried. Certain band members cheered in cathartic joy. People clapped. A canon of cannons fired. Choirs sang. Animals raised a cacophony of wild calls.
(And though it should be thusly noted that the items listed above did not necessarily happen in the same place… or even the same time necessarily…)
The universe sighed a great, big FINALLY.
Most importantly, however, from that moment on, Yunho and Changmin realized that they simply could not be without and were forevermore attached by the hand and/or lips.
And that was the way that everyone like them.
Now, the truth of it was, the ‘accidental’ kiss needn’t have happened. Truthfully, Yunho actually caught his balance a fraction of a fraction of a second after tripping; he just decided to follow through the motion in hopes of meshing his lips with Changmin’s. Truthfully, Changmin didn’t so much drop his book to catch Yunho as he did drop the book to meet Yunho halfway.
Really, the details weren’t important.
The fact of it was, they were deeply in love, stupidly pining for the other, and the universe decided that HoMin simply had to be. Oh, and there was a happily ever after, but it doesn’t seem correct to announce one when they haven’t quite ‘ended.’

“…Did that really happen?”
Jaejoong felt a touch of annoyance as he snapped out of his storytelling-reverie to look at his sister’s daughter who was staring back at him skeptically. Jaejoong crossed his arms over his chest and scoffed (read: pouted)- there was no way a little girl was going to rain on his parade.
“Of course it did!”
“Well…. I don’t believe you.”
Jaejoong sputtered, flailing madly and an irritatingly familiar hand patted his shoulder.
“I wouldn’t either, you now. Your Uncle Jae is craaaaaaaazy.”
Changmin- the snarky son of a bitch- chuckled and shuffled over to sit next to them. Jaejoong wanted nothing more than to one-touch the smugness right off of his face. He wouldn’t of course. Not that he was advocating nonviolence- Min deserved it- but Jaejoong couldn’t give away the satisfaction (or earn Yunho’s wrath for that matter).
“Uncle Min, you know lots of things! Can you tell me a story?”
“Of course, kiddo. How about I tell you about the super-embarrassing way your Uncle Jae got together with your Uncle Su. It wasn’t at all as perfect as when I got together with your Uncle Yunho.”
Jaejoong seethed inwardly. After all of his nice storytelling, Changmin still had the gall to upstage him!
“Was Uncle Jae stupid in this one like in the story Uncle Yunho told me?”
Changmin shot a terrible, snarky, evil, Yunho-like-baby-stealing, grin at Jaejoong.
“Isn’t he always?”
And thusly Jaejoong concluded: The universe was a bastard for bringing him HoMin.
