Zhou Mi was walking home as per usual when he got off work, but this time was a little different--he found a homeless teenager in a dirty alleyway shivering in the chilly weather with tear tracks fresh on his cheeks, almost to keep him warm. The child looked up, tears still flowing, with a blank expression, curious as to why someone would ever notice him.
What, Zhou Mi wondered; What do I do with him? He couldn't just leave him, But I can't really take him with me either.
The teen tipped his head, rubbing his blue-tinged hands together in a failed-attempt in creating heat.
Finalizing his decision, Zhou Mi removed his peacoat from his back and laid it atop the younger; he jumped slightly, automatically feeling the warmth soak into his thin rags and skin. He looked back up at Zhou Mi and tried to push the heavy coat back to him.
"No, no. I handed it to you; keep it." Zhou Mi smiled when the other glanced down at the coat in awe. Zhou Mi squatted down to meet his eye level and outstretched his hand, "I'm Zhou Mi."
"I'm--" he cleared his throat and brushed off the extra dirt off his hands, "I'm Kyuhyun." his voice is still raspy and unclear, but understood none-the-less.
"I'll come back tomorrow, alright?" Zhou Mi shows off his pearly whites. "I'll bring some food and whatnot, 'kay?" he nods excitedly and mimicks the other's smile.
"And um," Kyuhyun looked down at the coat and back at Zhou Mi. "Thank you so much, you saved my life, I guess; I heard that tonight was supposed to be below zero Celcius and a blizzard. I probably wouldn't make it to see the morning." he pauses slightly, "You don't--You don't have to come tomorrow, I feel bad enough keeping this from you since it's obviously expensive and spur-of-the-moment--"
"I'm coming tomorrow, and that's that." Zhou Mi chuckled, "Unless you want to come with me to completely avoid the blizzard, and so I know that you'll be alright since you're just a teenager out here by yourself."
"I-I couldn't, that'd be too much." Kyuhyun stuttered.
"But I want to know that I will see you tomorrow instead of guessing," Zhou Mi smiled solemnly, "And we can share my coat on the walk back, alright? I'm not taking 'no' as an answer so it's either you stand up or I'm carrying you." The other snickered light and breathy.
"I guess I can't say anything. Thanks, but I can't pay you back in any way." He steadied himself against the wall behind him and eventually stood up on his stickly wobbly legs.
"I'm not expecting anything, and you're supposed to help those in need, right?" Zhou Mi grabbed the peacoat and wrapped it around Kyuhyun's shoulders as the latter rubbed his hands together.
"No one ever does though."
"I'm not just anyone." And they walk home together.
A/N: I started this a while ago and just never finished it, so here it is! Not actual QMi this time but some franship XD
