Savior, you saved me from drowning
Jonghyun/Minho; 200 words; Minho wonders when he'll ever stop.; for shineeworld @ drabble challenge 21.
He watches people with great interest, watches Jonghyun from the corner of his eye. He takes a particular liking to Jonghyun because the boy's everything he can never be - wonderful and amazing and just eighteen. (There's only a year between them but Jonghyun's different, he always is, his subconscious tells him. Then he snaps out of it and poof, there Jonghyun is, rolling on the floor. He can't be dying.)
He's been at this way too long already.
Sometimes he wonders if he can actually say it, that Hyung, you're so cool and I want to be just like you and- in his smallest voice - I think we can be together like it's the most natural thing in the world. Then he worries about the future and awkward encounters and Minho, are you still with me? Jonghyun's looking at him in the eye, face some few inches from his. He blinks.
And Jonghyun laughs.
I'm still here.
(Jonghyun's laughter sounds like driving at 80 miles per hour, crashing at 81.
It's not as if he can stop, and it's not as if he's willing to,
either. There's the finish line and oomph, they collide.)
In which case, he just keeps on running.
