Title: Just Be My Boyfriend
Pairing: Eunhae, Baekyeol
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Eunhyuk and Baekhyun just can't seem to get the message across.
A/N: I couldn't decide on which pairing, because I thought it suited both couples, so...I put both of them in :D and..clicking on the links may help, especially the last one.
1. Direct Method: Attempt #1
“Donghae, I need to talk to you.” Eunhyuk mumbles, grabbing Donghae by the wrist before pulling him away from his conversation with Heechul, who was now glaring at him -fuck Heechul hyung right now, he could get killed by Heechul later. His heart felt like it was going to jump out of his ribcage and then probably flop around on the floor, mentally hoping Donghae was completely oblivious to his sweaty palms. He pulled Donghae to a random corner behind the row of lockers, pinning Donghae's arms to ensure he doesn't try to escape.
"W-What's wrong Hyukjae?" Donghae asks, voice laced with concern, his face scrunched up with worry.
Eunhyuk really wished Donghae didn't call him by his real name, it made him weak in the knees, a shiver run up his spine, and his cheeks flush a pretty shade of red. "Uh...I-I l-like...you..." he stutters, his voice trailing off at the end and vaguely remembers his voice cracking at 'you', cheeks flushing a deeper shade of red as he tries to duck his head into his shirt to hide his face.
"I like you too!" Donghae squeals, ringing his arms around Eunhyuk slender waist before spinning both of them around and around, and Eunhyuk swore his soul just left his body and flown off to cloud nine. "And Heechul, and Siwon and Ryeowook. Oh! And Minho too!" Donghae continues, jumping up and down on his spot.
Eunhyuk’s face paled, and fell, he wasn’t sure if he preferred if Donghae just rejected him or in this case, thought Eunhyuk meant it like between friends. He knew Donghae was a bit of a space case sometimes, but everyone had a limit right? Even before he could explain to Donghae he meant it as a boyfriend way, Donghae already let him go and took off, saying something about he needs to tell Heechul that he likes him.
2. Baking Cookies
“It looks legible right?” Baekhyun says, after taking out his freshly baked cookies from the oven then carefully laying it on the table. He was a little worried when he started baking these, thinking he put the letters too close together, or his handwriting/sculpting skills just made the cookies look a bit like chicken scratch shaped cookies -if it was possible.
“Um...kind of...ish?” Lay replies, looking at the tray of messily shaped cookies that were arrange to spell out 'Will you be my boyfriend?', trying to reach for one of the alphabet shaped cookies only to reward him with a slap by the spatula from Baekhyun, causing him to whine. "Anyways, how would know he’ll arrange it before he eats them?”
“He does it every time he gets alphabet shaped cookies, he opens the whole packet and sprawls them out on the table and see what words he can get. One time, he managed to get ‘bacon’ with the letters and he went, ‘Baekhyun, I’m gonna eat you first’, then shove the letters for ‘bacon’ into his mouth one shot.”
“...why am I not surprised...”

"Hey Baekhyun ah, what's up!" Chanyeol calls out, jogging over to Baekhyun, who was sitting on their usual lunch table, after class, immediately ruffling his hair, only to earn him a pout from the said boy.
"Hey, I got something for you." Baekhyun replies as he fixes his hair, inwardly patting himself on the back for not cracking or stuttering over his words, before fishing out the (luckily, undamaged) packet of cookies from his bag.
"Ooh homemade alphabet cookies!" Chanyeol exclaimed, eyes going wide with glee (almost starting to look scary but Baekhyun loves him for it), giant sized grin that was practically taking over his whole face, almost pouncing at Baekhyun to get them.
Chanyeol quickly sat down next to him, carefully pulling the ribbon holding the bag together, spreading them out to see all the letters. Baekhyun held his breath as he watched Chanyeol work out the words, entwining his fingers together to somehow reduce the shakiness of his hands.
“Ooh cookies can I have one?” Kai asks as he puts his bag down and sits across Chanyeol. Before either of them could reply, Kai takes almost a small handful and shoving them into his mouth. Both of them looked at him with the widest sets of eyes they could muster, gaping like goldfishes, trying to get over the shock. Baekhyun just felt depressed, which was an understatement, Chanyeol on the other hand, hissed at Kai, giving him a ‘you are dead to me’ look.
3. Pokemon
Eunhyuk mentally thanked Kyuhyun’s brain (that is pretty much nerdy mixed with closet romantic) for this idea, which worked pretty well for Kyuhyun when the said male asked Sungmin out. He manages to bribe Kyuhyun to lend him his one of his old Pokemon games, with several different expansions packs for Starcraft and lunch for the rest of the week.
Apparently, Kyuhyun was surprisingly nice enough to give him the same game Kyuhyun used to ask Sungmin out with, which freaked Eunhyuk out a bit.
You never managed to get through the elite four so I made you a team to beat them, he scribbled quickly on a torn piece of paper before taping it on to the game, then shoving it through the tiny slit on Donghae's locker door.

His (slightly) obnoxious ringtone comes on, scaring Eunhyuk shitless, causing him to make an accidental line on his homework. Fishy. His eyes widened, grabbing his phone as if it would run away when he tries to answer, cradling it in his hands as he paced around. What if Donghae rejects him? Then he would've ruined more than 10 years of friendship. But what if Donghae likes him and if he doesn't answer it, he would have to wait a day before hearing him say yes. Ugh this stupid dilemma, Eunhyuk groans, his hands had gone all sweaty and clammy, making them slippery, resulting with his precious phone dropping on to the floor.
Shit. Okay whatever I'm just going to answer it. Eunhyuk picked his phone up from the floor with shaky hands, hitting the answer button.
"Hey Hyukjae!"
"H-Hi Hae..." Oh god why was his heart pumping so fast.
"Uh the game you gave me..."
Oh god he's gonna tell me his answer now. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. "It got deleted."
You gotta be fucking kidding me, Eunhyuk understands Donghae's inability with technology sometimes but this is just- ...Cho Kyuhyun. That cockblocker.
4. Song
This should work (or at least it worked with Jay Park in his Girlfriend MV), Baekhyun thought as he scrolls down the download site, looking for a song -okay, maybe a few songs he could confess with, just in case. This plan was foolproof, get Chanyeol to listen to Boyfriend’s Boyfriend, because honestly the whole song is a confession, and Chanyeol isn’t that blur or big of an idiot to not understand, and then either get rejected (then probably cry while watching some sappy romance movie) or have Chanyeol as his new boyfriend (then kiss the daylights out of the boy).
He finds Chanyeol hunched over the library computer, playing some online game, his fingers jabbing on the same few buttons repeatedly, yelling rather incoherent gargle in a hushed tone. His hands fiddled with the headphones nervously, quickly searching for the right song before walking over to Chanyeol.
With shaky hands, Baekhyun carefully puts the headphones on Chanyeol, watching the tall boy jerk at the sudden contact as he hits the play button. His heart was pumping at a rate that he thinks should be illegal or something, eyes fixed on the ever changing expressions on Chanyeol’s face. Chanyeol finally turns around, breaking into a smile and waving at him, lowering the headphones to let them rest around his neck.
“Why are you making me listen to Wedding Dress?” Chanyeol asks, making him mentally facepalm at his own actions.
5. Fortune Cookie
Eunhyuk dropped his bag beside him as he sat on the cool tiles of the floor, bringing his knees to his chest before folding his arms on top of it, muffling a scream of frustration. It shouldn’t be this hard to confess his feelings towards his childhood and best friend- okay, he knew it was gonna be hard, but not this hard. His ears almost twitched at the whiny creaking of the heavy metal door that separated the stairwells from the roof, listening to the shuffling of a pair of feet, easily recognizing Donghae’s footsteps.
“Why are you here?” Donghae asks, as he plants his butt down beside Eunhyuk, placing his hand on Eunhyuk’s knee before lightly squeezing it.
“None of your business." He stifles a reply, shifting his gaze, not sparing Donghae, who probably was jutting his lips out into a pout, a glance. He vaguely remembers the rustling noises of Donghae’s bag as the said boy searches for something.
“Here, you need to eat something.” Donghae says as he lets the fortune cookie, that he pulled out of his bag, balance on Eunhyuk’s head.
“I’m not hungry.” Eunhyuk mumbles lowly under his breath, burying his face deeper into his folded arms after removing the fortune cookie from his head.
“But if you don’t open it, the fortune in the cookie will be sad ‘cause it’s trapped.” Donghae pouts, squirming childishly beside Eunhyuk. If he wasn’t in such a bad mood, Eunhyuk would’ve probably just kissed the daylights out of Donghae for being so cute.
He lets out a chuckle, fiddling with the packet, feeling Donghae’s gaze on him as he rips the plastic wrapper. He crumples the wrapper, dropping it by his side, he tries to ignore the shiver running down his spine when he feels Donghae’s breath against his neck.
He cracks the fortune cookie into halves, pulling out the thin strip of paper that was placed into the cookie, eyes skimming at the words. Eyes widened to large saucers, blood rushing to his face, lips parted slightly in shock.
Lee Hyukjae, Be my boyfriend?
His head turns to the side, facing Donghae, face flushed to the tips of his ears, watching Donghae inch closer, brushing his lips against Eunhyuk’s. The kiss was short, chaste, it ended as soon as it started, which almost made Eunhyuk whine.
The younger of the two let a shy giggle escape his lips, resting his head on Eunhyuk’s shoulder, body swaying from side to side, as he watches Eunhyuk part his lips to say something, only to shut close once again. “Heechul hyung told me you like me and-” Donghae tries to say, only to be cut off by a pair of lips.
“Yes.” Eunhyuk replies breathlessly against Donghae’s lips.
6. Direct Method: Attempt #2
“Maybe you’re being way too like...sappy and romantic, and like should just tell him directly. Or like just ask him on a date.” Kai suggested one day during lunch. That’s why he was here, standing in front of Chanyeol, who was towering over him with wide and curious eyes.
“Um...I...want to...go out...with you...” Baekhyun says slowly, hands motioning the words awkwardly, hitting himself inwardly for letting his voice squeak like that at the end. Chanyeol breaks out into a giant grin, which had a possibility of splitting his face into two, nodding his head as a reply. And Baekhyun felt his heart skip a beat plus his legs went all wobbly at the reply.
“Want to go out tomorrow? For a movie?” Chanyeol asks, tipping his head to the side cutely, and Baekhyun felt the sudden need to just slap Chanyeol’s face. Baekhyun replies with a couple of nods.
+++
Baekhyun was excited for his date, skipping giddily as he made his way to the entrance of the cinema, until he saw the person -or should he say persons at the entrance. Apparently, Chanyeol did not understand by his meaning of ‘going out’ and invited the rest of their friends over.
“So much for telling him directly.” Baekhyun groans, rewarding him with a pat on the shoulder from Kai.
7. 128√e980
Baekhyun was definitely frustrated, upset, and also annoyed at a few certain people. Three attempts at confessing his feelings to Chanyeol, all in which almost worked...until it didn’t. He shuts his eyes for a moment, tilting his head back against the chair, trying to calm himself down and sort out his thoughts.
“Hey Baek.” Chanyeol greets him, placing his bag down before taking a seat beside him, ruffling Baekhyun’s hair affectionately, like he always does, causing Baekhyun to scowl at him.
“What do you want?” Baekhyun mumbles, not bothering to open his eyes to look at the latter.
“So mean.” Baekhyun hears, and he’s pretty certain Chanyeol was pouting, like he always did when Baekhyun was ignoring him. He feels a tug on his wrist, eyes instantly flying open when he felt a tickling sensation at the back of his palm, that was causing his skin to start breaking out into goosebumps. He quietly begged in the back of his mind, begging for his pulse to calm down or at least stop going at a million minutes per second, also hoping that electric spark would running up his arm to only send his stomach into a flipping frenzy.
Chanyeol let out a quiet little hum, his body swaying from side to side, a pen in his hand that was shifting across the expanse of Baekhyun’s skin. “There, your punishment for ignoring me.” Chanyeol says as he drops his pen on the table.
128√e980 hehe ^//^
The taller male placed his hand over the top half of the ridiculous maths equation, before bringing it Baekhyun's hand upwards to the line of his vision. Baekhyun’s eyes widened at the words that was written carefully in ink on the back of his palm, reading it over and over again to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. I Love You hehe ^//^. Chanyeol inwardly chuckled at the reaction he got as he watched Baekhyun’s blood rush to the apples of his cheeks, staining them with a lovely shade of red.
The elder of the two finally sneaks a glance at Chanyeol, almost falling off his chair when he finds Chanyeol’s face only about 3 inches apart. Holy shit when did Chanyeol get so close. “So cute.” Chanyeol whispers, tugging on Baekhyun’s wrist to pull him closer before pressing his lips against Baekhyun’s only for a split second.
“Don’t you fucking stop kissing me now Park Chanyeol.” Baekhyun threatens, wrapping his arms around Chanyeol’s neck as he crashes their lips together.
