RATING:PG 13
DISCLAIMER:I don't own the boys.surprised?It's okay.you'll get over it.
SUMMERY:Hankyung has been having trouble sleeping ever since he returned from China.Heechul has a plan.
A/N:Okay, so I know this is a fail.A terrible one at that.But please bear with it.New writer here.
"Once upon a time,there lived a magician.People, although they knew all that he put on display was just tricks and not real magic, loved him.Whatever town he traveled to,people would gather to welcome him,presenting him with all kinds of gifts and presents.He was the beloved magecian.As time passed word of the magician spread.People from far away villages started sending invitations to the beloved magician,in hopes that they would get to watch him perform even if just once.He was sent invitations to attend public gatherings, political campaigns, parties and even wedding ceremonies.Whenever the matter of keeping the audience hooked to the stage was presented,an invitation to the beloved magician would be issued.
Although famous and rich and loved, the magician never let go of his down-to-earth, modest nature.All that he had,his skill,his experience,everything,he sacrificed for the sake of making people happy.There was though,a secret that the magician held in his heart that he wasn't willing to let go of ,ever.The magician couldn't let anyone hear him speak..."
"That's probably because Chinese was all the 'beloved magician' could speak!Haha.."Heechul cut in, sounding smug and amused at his own joke.
Hankyung decided to ignore him and carry on with the story.
"The magician couldn't let anyone hear him speak or the listener would forever fall in love with him. It was in his voice that the real magic lay.
Clueless as the magician was to it, there was someone watching him. Watching him all the time.It was some strange stalker who followed him everywhere he went..The strange stalker noticed something was wrong.He noticed how the magician never used his voice and decided to make him speak up. He formulated plan after plan, conspiring against the magecian day and night.But none of his plans worked and the magician never uttered a sound.Finally, the strange stalker decided to use other measures and not just stick to the old,safe means of making the beloved magician speak up.
It was the mid of June yet the night was cold as the magician stood on the stage, making rabbits pop out of hats and making pigeons disappear from their cages,when the strange stalker decided to spin his plan into action.One moment the magecian was trying to tackle rabbits and the next a cat had its claws digging into his face. The beloved magician, with the crazy, fierce cat still clinging to his face made a run for it without any sense of direction at all. Right when he stumbled across a chair and was sent rolling onto the middle of the room that he now recognized as his dressing room,the crazy cat broughht its claw down with force, tearing at his porcelain skin.A broken cry of pain escaped his lips.
The stranger that had crept in right after them stood there perplexed. Speechless at the beauty that the mere cry of pain held.Unable to break out of his revere,he stood there awed,fascinated and enticed.He stood there enthralled and...completely in love.
The magician saw the look in his eyes,his own pain all but forgotten,as the realization of what had just happened dawned upon him.But as he looked into those eyes he didn't feel any hint of regret. He knew it was meant to be.
Without any sign or warning the stalker attacked him,lips crashing with the magician's with maddening force. In that moment the magecian too knew he was in love.He had fallen in love with a crazy stalker.And so The Beloved Magician, The Strange Stalker and The Crazy Cat lived happily ever after..."
Looking down at the sleeping figure in his arms,Hangeng finally breathed out a sigh of relief.Just as he was getting ready to slip out from underneath the others fragile body, Heechuls voice shattered all his hopes of escape.
"what kind of a crappy ending was that?" Heechule demanded,sitting up in his lap.
"Heechul! could you please just go to sleep already?!" Hankyung cried out, making no effort to hide the annoyance he felt.
"But Hanni, I dislike that ending.How could a bed time story have such a clichéd ending? And you expect me to fall asleep after listening to you rant about some crazy magician for an hour?You have to change the ending!" Heechul snapped back,making himself comfertable in Hankyung's lap again.
"But this is like the third ending for the same damn story that you just happen to 'dislike' !I do still have that schedule tomorrow in-case it slipped your mind"
"Oh well. Whatever Hannie! i cant believe for a minute back at the Airport i had actually 'LIKED' the gift you brought me... My bad i guess" Heechul said letting all his disappointed invade his words.
"Gift? What gift?" Asked Hankyung, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
Heechul remained silent, clearly trying to convey to Hankyung that he was WAY above anything that Hankyung could actually consider worthy of worry.
"Please tell me you did not abduct Donghae's birthday present..." Hankyung begged.
Still no answer.
He turned Heecul around to study his face.Heartbeat finally slowing down...."I knew you wouldn't do that..."
"You did?" Heechul asked,surprised,although he had no Idea of what the "It" refered to.
"I'm sure you'd never do that...now could you please return it to me safe and sound?" Hankyung asked, getting right down to bussiness.
"No way.First give me the ending that i want...'.The magician fell in love with the cat but the cat already was in love with the stalker and so the cat and the stalker lived happily ever after.The magician on the other hand went back to China never to show his face to anyone,Ever again.'...wow! Now that's what you call an ending...Epic!"Heechul ended by throwing his hands up in the air applauding for himself, a strange light of excitement filling his eyes.
"How about you think of another epic ending while i grab some shut eye,hum?We'll talk about Donghae's present tomorrow too,okay?"Hankyung asked,trying to sound just as excited.
In a minute Heechul's ecstatic expression crawled off his face.His eyes that had wandered off into space as if he could see something others couldn't stopped sparkling and immediately returned to hankyung's face,dead serious.
"Why are you such a bliss killer?Why can't you just appreciate me for my creativity and keep your mouth shut?" Heechul asked, snapping his head back twice.
From where Hankyung sat he was dead sure any minute Heechul would grow fangs and attack him in the blink of an eye.Having been at the recieving end of Heechul's wrath one too many times already, Hankyung worried for his life.He couldn't die yet!he hadn't even given his mom the birthday present he got her.It would be such a waste to let all those cosmetics and beauty treatments die with him.
oh!heechul will make sure they're taken care of.He'll take good care of them before putting them to perfect use.Hankyung thought to himself.
That said, he decided to grab onto the guilt nerve.As innocently as he possibly could, he gave Heechul the lost-puppy look before proceeding to say:
"But how was i supposed to know what to say. I am from China."
"Ah,Hanni! Do not bring China into this! Stop blaming your dumbness on CHINA. for Siwon's God's sake!"Heechul cried, turning fully to face Hankyung.
Hankyung could see Heechul was getting desperate.He was almost past the limit of irritation he could handle.Hankyung smiled inwardly at that.He smiled because he knew no explosion resided behind that limit.Behind that fine line lay the caring person whom heechul rarely ever let out into the light of the day.Contrary to what he liked to show,Heechul was rarely irritated.He was more of the IRRITATING type.
"I'm sorry for being dumb.I cant really help it" He said letting a fake sorry state show.
He knew Heechul,although he didnt show it the way normal people would,hated to see him vulnerable.He wanted him to be strong.Unafraid.
He was right.That did it.
"Damn it Hanni! shut up already!" Heechul replied, putting his arms tightly around Hankyung.
:"You know you'r not dumb.Forget I ever said that. " He said,holding Hankyung in a tight embrace.He couldn't see the smile that broke out on Hankyung's face at his actions.Hankyung closed his eyes to blink but then lost track of things. Did he open them again?Was that Heechul next to him?And why were fireflies suddenly swarming their room?He couldn't be sure of the events that occurred after his intended blink.Maybe he did finally slip into dreamland.
That night there were no nightmares.He didn't wake up in the middle of the night feeling homesick to the extent he could throw up.That night, after weeks long nights of unrest and bad sleep, he finally slept in peace.
Somewhere in the middle of the night the fireflies that had formed a pair of glowing wings around his body slipped away.He didn't want them to leave but he wasn't afraid. he knew they would come back.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Heechul slipped his hands out from under Hankyung's sleeping form.He yawned soundlessly and rubbed his eyes.Before slipping out of the room he took Hankyung's socks off.Then he pulled the covers over him.
Stepping out into the hallway he walked over to the couch where Leeteuk was seated,legs crossed underneath him.Pouring himself a glass of water he sat down next to the leader.
"Did he go to sleep?" Leeteuk asked him.
" Yup! i think he'll sleep well tonight.he was hell tired."Heechul replied,eyelids dropping and then going back up in a lazy manner.
"Good.He could use some good night sleep.He hasn't slept properly ever since he returned from China."Leeteuk said,genuinely happy before adding" It's good that I can count on you guys to take care of each other."
Heechul, deeply moved by the leaders words decided he had had enough drama for a day.
Laughing in a mocking manner he said, " You're over doing it with the Umma act hyung,can I ignore you some other time?" He left a gaping Leeteuk on the couch and went back to get some sleep.He had to think of an excuse to have Hankyung's schedule for the next day cancelled,too.Waking Hankyung up tomorrow would be a job impossible for anyone. Heechul would take care of that.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the room next door Kyuhyun finally stopped singing "Puff The Magic Dragon" for by the time he reached the part ".....His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane..." Sungmin's soft snorts were filling the night air. Kyuhyun looked at him affectionately.His chest rose and fell in a slow rhythmic manner as his breathing intensified.
Tired by all the singing,Kyuhyun's throat complained by his muscles tightening making it extremely painful for him to even swallow his saliva.He knew he probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night due to the sore throat.Yet he started singing silently again as he felt Sungmin shift in his arms,his cheek rubbing against his chest,for the fear he had woken up.He kept singing till his voice disappeared.And yet he was okay with it.
Ah! the things you have to do for love!
