Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is enjoying a safe and wonderful Memorial Weekend! We've had a busy one, but it's been really fun. I even got my new "D.Gray-Man" book and my new "Lucky Star" book, so I'm very happy!
Anyhoo, I wrote this strange little ficlet that was rolling around in my head. I originally intended it for a different pairing but for some reason, this screamed TeukChul. (I admit, they're a closet pairing for me and I'm starting to love the more and more!)
I hope everyone enjoys and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

SUMMARY: Heechul has a different kind of addiction...
*****
Heechul really didn't know when it happened or what caused it. He didn't even know when he started craving it. Just one day it happened. One day he was thinking only about himself and then suddenly he could think of nothing else.
It had been a normal day just like any other for the group. They were talking about the new album and about Hangeng's whereabouts as well as Kangin's voluntary military entry. He had watched Eeteuk rise to go and grab a bottle of water. Heechul didn't know what possessed him to follow but he felt suddenly parched.
He stopped at the entry when he saw Eeteuk drinking the water. The liquid seemed to spill out of the corners of the man's lips and trickle lazily down his chin. The older man glanced over to see Heechul watching him. He smiled slightly around the rim before drawing it back slightly, tongue darting over a drop that slithered down the neck.
"Can I help you, Chullie?"
Heechul wasn't sure when Eeteuk's voice had gotten so warm. He wasn't sure when Eeteuk started to look quite so tempting. But the man's fingers were suggestively stroking the bottle. He wondered when he had lost his ability to speak as Eeteuk set the bottle down.
"You know, Heechul, there's something I've always been curious about now that we're alone."
"Oh?' he had responded in a half daze.
"If kissing you is really dangerous or if it's just a rumor."
"Who the hell said that?!" Heechul had snapped quickly.
Eeteuk's lips had only quirked and without warning, he had grabbed the back of Heechul's head and devoured his mouth. The smaller had struggled against the crushing lips before his fingers ended up tangling in the front of Eeteuk's t-shirt.
He felt light headed and something burned in the farthest back of his throat. It felt like passion and guilt and dark, glorious promises. It made his stomach turn and at the same time, made his toes curl and the nerves in his back sing.
Eeteuk pulled away and simply looked at Heechul. For once, it was the shorter man who looked dazed. He half smiled and unraveled his fingers from the other's mane.
"I don't know, you don't taste very dangerous to me." Eeteuk had said simply.
The taller man had then ruffled Heechul's hair almost playfully before slipping past him and heading back to the main room. Heechul drew in two deep breaths and walked over to where Eeteuk had set his water bottle. He picked it up and took a slow sip.
The water burned all the way down his throat. It hurt, like poisonous glass that shattered and trickled down into his stomach. It tasted like painful perfection. The muscles in his arms seemed to pulse and he felt dazed. Like a razor singing down each blood line, leaving a potent mark in it's place.
It was what Eeteuk's kiss tasted like.
Heechul still really didn't know when it happened or what caused it. All he knew was he now craved it. Wanted that delicious, horrible burn searing through him every moment of the day. They may have said his kiss was dangerous, but Eeteuk's was deadly.
Like acid in his veins.
END.
