12 Drabbles Of Christmas: Prayers
G; KyuMin; Fluff
Sungmin is always thankful on holidays that he spends together with Kyuhyun. (For Anna)
Rest of the 12 Drabbles Sungmin stirred as the faint noises of Ryeowook messing about in their kitchen drifted towards the room. It was still early, Ryeowook had probably stayed over in Jongwoon's room again, as he was wont to do and had gotten up early to make breakfast for all of them. Sungmin turned best as he could in Kyuhyun's arms, trying hard not to wake him. He had slept so late last night, waking him up would be just torture.
Kyuhyun mumbled gibberish under his breath as his arms around Sungmin loosened and he flopped back onto his back to continue snoring. Grabbing at his phone on the nearby bedside table, Sungmin took note of the date and counted mentally.
Four more days to Christmas.
The proximity of Christmas made Sungmin sit up in alarm. He hadn't realised that it was almost Christmas already and he hadn't even had time to buy Kyuhyun a present this year. The panic was growing within Sungmin and he gritted his teeth, slapping his forehead with his palm a couple of times to berate himself for his stupidity.
A loud snore from Kyuhyun jolted Sungmin out of his thoughts and he nearly laughed out loud. Kyuhyun always had the most inopportune of timings.
Sungmin lifted a hand to brush the hair out of Kyuhyun's eyes, fingers lingering over the dark circles under his eyes. They had been so tired lately, preparing for comeback amongst all the preparations for award shows and personal schedules.
Kyuhyun snuffled a little in his sleep again, turning over to bury his face into the pillow, his shirt riding up in the process. Sungmin's fingers stilled as he eyed the scars scattered across Kyuhyun's back sadly. His fingers danced across each other, reliving the terror that he had felt that night, hearing the news; the mad dash to get to the hospital to make sure that Kyuhyun was okay.
A lump grew in his throat at the thought of all the special days they had shared since then, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases, those past and those to come. He supposed it was just Christmas around the corner that made him so sentimental.
Thank you God for giving Kyuhyun back to me, thank you for not taking him away, Sungmin bit down on his lip to control the slight wobble. Kyuhyun is the best thing in my life right now and I am so thankful everyday that you gave him back to me. Sungmin squeezed his eyes shut, unsure why all these emotions were welling up in him now and clenched his fist, breathing in deeply.
When a warmth covered his hand, he opened his eyes slowly as Kyuhyun cradled his face.
'Did I wake you?' He whispered softly.
Kyuhyun wiped the lone tear that had escaped Sungmin's eyes onto his face, smiling as he did so. 'It's okay, it was about time for me to wake up anyway.'
'Liar.'
Kyuhyun shrugged. 'You caught me. Now why were you being sad all by yourself and not telling me?'
'I was just praying,' Sungmin sniffled.
'Praying?' Kyuhyun's eyebrows shot up into his hairline as he tugged Sungmin back to lean back into his arms. 'What about?'
'Just thanking God for giving you back to me all those years ago,' Sungmin buried his face in Kyuhyun's shirt, inhaling deeply as he tried to push down the feelings again.
Kyuhyun laughed softly, fingers brushing at Sungmin's cheeks. 'Well we can do that together yes?'
And yes, Kyuhyun thought. Thank you for bringing me back and giving me a chance to love this wonderful man, to show him that there is more light in this world than dark and keeping this smile on his face. For letting him love me in the first place, it's a miracle. He clutched at Sungmin just that little bit tighter as the sun began to shine through that tiny gap in the curtains, flitting across their faces.
Kyuhyun nuzzled at Sungmin's neck gently, eliciting a contented sigh. He kissed Sungmin's neck softly, reminding him that he would always be here, and then did it again.
'Thank God for giving me Christmas with you.'
On the eight day of Christmas, my true love gave to me eight thankful kisses
Seven sexual orders,
Six kinky presents
Five snowball fights,
Four candy canes,
Three kisses,
Two promises,
And a headache and a cookie.
