Disclaimer: Can’t I have Soohyunnie for just a little bit?
After about 15 minutes Soohyun steps into the living room where Eli is waiting for him on the couch. The blond has wet hair from showering and a towel draped around his shoulders. He is wearing his black payamas which consist of loose pants and a button up shirt, which is undone as Soohyun didn’t bother to do the buttons up. Normally, he would never do something like that because he tends to be too self-conscious, but it’s not like anyone is going to see him like that now so he simply shrugs it off.
Eli snaps out of his thoughts at the sound of the approaching footsteps.
“Ok, it’s your turn now. Let’s go to the bathroom. ” the blond says walking up to the couch and gently grabbing Eli’s wrist.
“Yeah, let’s go,” the dark haired man agrees getting off the couch. While walking behind Soohyun, who guides him to the bathroom, Eli has a strange urge to change the position of their linked hands. He slowly turns his palm so that he can take the other man’s hand, which has been holding his wrist, in his. Hmm…his hand is soft and warm…holding it feels really nice...Eli thinks to himself as a subtle, pleasant feeling engulfs him and a smile unconsciously makes its way to his lips.
Soohyun’s eyes widen considerably when Eli’s fingers brush across his palm and close around his hand. Oh God, oh God, oh God! The blond chants in his head as his heart rate increases significantly and a heavy blush spreads over his cheeks, he doesn’t stop their walk to the bathroom, though. Soohyun can’t help the feeling of excitement that builds inside him; however, he doesn’t dare look at his best friend’s face for fear of becoming disillusioned when he sees that Eli is not affected at all. The other possibility, the one that Eli actually does show some kind of a reaction, doesn’t even cross his mind. Why would Eli be affected? After all, touching is perfectly normal between friends and apparently, Eli simply thinks that it’s more comfortable to be guided when holding hands instead of being pulled by the wrist, nothing more than that. Yes, that’s just it. Soohyun thinks to himself and a sad smile replaces his previously happy expression. I’m so stupid…It seems that I still harbour this unreasonable hope that Eli will someday feel something more than friendship for me. I really am an idiot…I’ve been hiding my unrequited love for so long...I guess I should just stop fooling myself that my straight best friend may, by some miracle, fall for me someday. Soohyun ponders in his mind feeling dejected and shakes his head at his own stupidity, his eyes downcast, no trace of his crimson blush left.
In no time the two men arrive at the bathroom.
“Ok, when you step into the shower you’ll find your shampoo on your right-hand side and soap on your left-hand side. I’ve put a towel on the towel rail so when you’re done just extend your hand out of the cabin and you’ll be able to reach it,” Soohyun explains looking at the other man who nods his head as a sign of acknowledgement while fumbling with his shirt buttons. “Do you need help with that?” The blonde asks seeing that his friend has slight difficulty with unbuttoning the shirt.
“Uh, yeah…I guess I do,” the raven haired man admits, a bit embarrassed and purposefully lets his hair fall into his face to hide his abashed expression and faintly tinted pink cheeks.
“Ok, so you try unbuttoning from the hem and I’ll start from the top, all right?” Soohyun suggests nearing the other man.
“Ok,” Eli agrees giving a quick nod of his head.
Soohyun stands in front of Eli, and begins unbuttoning his friend’s shirt. They’re in such close proximity that their heads are almost touching and the blond can feel his heart pounding in his chest. God, I can’t believe I’m doing this…Good Lord, I’m undressing him! Soohyun screams in his mind. Damn it Soohyun! Get a grip! You’re just helping your best friend to take off his shirt because he has problems doing it himself! What are you getting excited for?! He then mentally scolds himself for overreacting and having such indecent thoughts.
Eli, on the other hand, starts feeling weird when Soohyun’s hands begin to undo his shirt. A thrill of excitement combined with a dash of impatience invades his senses. This feeling…it’s as if it was my lover who is undressing me…Have I completely lost my mind? Those are Soohyun’s fingers that are unbuttoning my shirt and not my lover’s so why do I feel such weird emotions? What’s up with me lately? The blind man wonders in his mind. He’s too immersed in his own thoughts and the new, inexplicable sensations that course through his being to become aware of slight vibrations of the fabric of his shirt, an indication of the fact that the blonde’s hands are trembling.
Soohyun slaps himself mentally for not being capable of preventing his hands from shaking. Just before they brush over Eli’s warm ones; however, he manages to get the trembling under control. The blonde’s gaze falls on their touching hands and he can’t help but prolong the contact even if just a little bit. What he doesn’t know, though, is the fact that the man in front of him is doing the exact same thing. Soohyun then looks up at his friend’s face and boy he wishes he hadn’t done that for just mere inches away from his face are the other man’s slightly parted, inviting lips and the blonde has to suppress a strong urge to press his, cool and moistened by water drops falling from his wet hair, ones against them. He takes a sharp intake of breath and glances up in search of the other man’s eyes but it turns out that they’re hidden behind the locks of his raven hair. Soohyun gulps and finally separates his hands from Eli’s. The blond then tentatively brushes his fingertips over his friend’s skin and soon arrives at his collarbones. Next, he gently guides his palms down the other man’s shoulders and in seconds the blind man’s shirt falls to the floor.
Eli felt slightly disappointed when Soohyun removed his hands from his, but shortly after, a shiver of excitement runs down his spine at the sensation of the blonde’s soft palms skimming along his skin. He can feel the other man’s minty breath on his face and unconsciously, he starts leaning forward…
Soohyun, having finished helping his friend with taking off his shirt, has no further excuse to for maintaining physical contact so he closes his eyes and reluctantly steps back, completely missing the fact that his friend’s face was slowly but surely nearing his. “All right, done. I guess I’ll leave now. You take a leisurely shower, ok?” he says finally opening his eyes.
Eli stops his movement at the sound of his best friend’s voice. “Huh? Ah, right,” he replies resuming his original activity.
“If you need anything, just call my name and I’ll come, ok?” Soohyun informs and receives a nod in return. “All right, then I’m leaving,” the blonde announces and heads in the direction of the bathroom door. Just as he is about to reach for the door handle, he hears the other man’s voice.
“Uh…Soohyun?” Eli asks somewhat nervously.
“Yes?” The blonde asks glancing back through his shoulder.
“…I think my zipper is stuck…” Eli mutters looking to the side, insanely embarrassed, and with his hand working on the fly of his jeans without much success.
Soohyun’s eyes grow as big as saucers. “Oh…” he says stupidly, slightly stunned by the unexpected situation. “Ok, I’ll, uh, try to somehow…er…zip it down,” the blonde utters awkwardly and walks back to stand in front of the blind man, a scarlet blush appearing on his cheeks.
Eli lowers his head. He can already feel his face growing hot. Oh, God...so awkward...I should have worn my tracksuit pants. From now on I should wear trousers that don’t have any zippers on them. The man thinks to himself as his friend’s hesitant hands start working on the vicious fly.
Soohyun takes deep breaths to calm his rapidly beating heart. What the hell?! This stupid thing just won’t cooperate with me! Come on, unzip you damn fly! The blonde panics in his mind trying to undo the zipper as quickly as possible. After a few seconds of struggling, he finally succeeds in fulfilling the uncomfortable and highly embarrassing task. “Ok, I undid your jeans. Now you can continue undressing yourself. I’ll be outside,” the man says and hurriedly heads towards the door relieved that he can escape the awkward situation.

Ok, so that's it for the 7th chapter. I still can't believe I somehow managed to write the update with my crappy mood and apathy that's been accompanying for two weeks already. It took me 3 tries to actually finish this chapter. I promised happy_girl89 to update the story, though, so I decided to make the effort^^
