baeksoo, pg13
baekhyun and kyungsoo watch frozen.  yeah, it's as horrible as it sounds.



tao had said that the movie was The Film of the Decade.  kyungsoo highly, highly doubts that, because the last time tao had said that about a movie, it was cars, and he still talks about how excited he is for the sequel.  planes? boats?  whatever it is, kyungsoo wants nothing of it.

baekhyun, apparently, had bought it.  the second tao mentioned sisters, baekhyun (and kyungsoo wishes he was exaggerating) shot up from the dinner table with his kimbab roll still in hand, grabbed kyungsoo's arm and said, "we're watching."

kyungsoo has no fucking idea what's going through baekhyun's mind when this is a disney film, but baekhyun ignores the subtle jab kyungsoo makes at his sick preferences.  he's too busy looking for hd links to pay any mind to the simple, he says, eyes glued to the screen.  baekhyun scrolls past a preview of hyorin in what kyungsoo admits is actually a very flattering dress, stops to stare for a bit, and then says, "we're watching, kyungsoo."

"what else were we going to do," kyungsoo mutters.  "and would-just click on that one!  they're all the same."  kyungsoo seizes the trackpad and clicks before baekhyun can complain about screen resolution and some nonsense.  he wouldn't understand.  computers were never really his thing.

"full screen, full screen."  baekhyun eagerly presses against kyungsoo and hits a button.  the smile on his face would be cute if he weren't mumbling something about character designs and dresses.  kyungsoo decides against commenting, shimmies into the blanket he has across his lap, and sinks lower down on the couch.  baekhyun's already chanting along with the intro.

kyungsoo checks the clock and wonders how long he's going to last.

it hasn't even been five minutes.

"she's so adorable!" baekhyun laughs into the bowl of popcorn, already halfway empty.  it's kyungsoo's fault for letting baekhyun take the bowl out of his hands, really.  "look, aww, oh my god.  look at that snowman.  warm hugs, haha."

kyungsoo laughs.  it's actually really cute and the graphics have been really impressive so far.  he wonders when the twist will come in when-

"no!"

baekhyun knocks the bowl of popcorn over onto the floor and kyungsoo slaps himself in the face.  the tight grip around his wrist is nothing compared to the shrill cries of baekhyun moaning save her!  come on, quick, run like the wind!  oh my god, kyungsoo, she's going to die!

kyungsoo gently reminds him that they have more than eighty minutes left.  he distinctly hears something break in him, and remembers why no one had volunteered to watch the movie with them.

the only words kyungsoo could reassure himself with as he went into the movie was that baekhyun didn't know the soundtrack by heart yet, so he'd be spared from inappropriate karaoking.

yeah of course he was wrong.

he was dumb to think that baekhyun wouldn't catch on.  they're disney songs.

kyungsoo finds himself singing do you want to build a snowman with his hands in baekhyun's, who's too busy with each flourish and shrill to realize that he's getting butter everywhere.

"it's a duet!"

"no.  no, no baekhyun."

"come on-wow that was witty.  love is an open door!"

"i didn't sign up for this."

"byun baekhyun, shut up!"  jongdae shrieks.  the two quickly clamber back onto the couch (kyungsoo wouldn't be caught dead reenacting the dumb synchronization dance with baekhyun) and continue watching the movie in stifled giggles.

baekhyun is sniffling.  kyungsoo has no idea what to do.

"uh."  he grabs for a napkin and rubs the corners together in his hands.  it's what his mom used to do for him, makes the napkin softer and stuff.  he slowly offers it to baekhyun, who swats it blindly as his eyes glisten, reflecting the sparkling blue on the screen.  "you gonna be ok?"

baekhyun glances at kyungsoo and laughs.  "i'm not crying.  it's just inspirational, don't you think?"

kyungsoo breaks away from the gaze and glances at the screen.  it's elsa's solo, and she's raising a beautiful ice castle, prim and refined, with her wild powers.  he assumes it's some sort of symbolism and it probably would have had a greater impact if kyungsoo had been listening to the lyrics.  but he was too distracted by baekhyun's warmth by his side.  hmm.

"it's nice."  baekhyun wears a wide grin on his face, a tint of blue and sad, but strong and satisfied at each upturned corner.

it's reassuring, warming.  "yeah."

baekhyun looks at him with a dumb grin.  "hoo hoo!"  he does a little wriggle of his fingers.  kyungsoo stares on.  "hoo hoo!"

kyungsoo can't help the loud guffaw that escapes him.  he feels a little lightheaded, baekhyun's heat radiating from the arm he has hooked around kyungsoo's shoulders.

"hoo hoo."

"but he would melt."

kyungsoo walks back into the living room with a fresh bowl of popcorn and some pretzels thrown in there, and notices that chanyeol had slipped into his seat during his absence, leaning against baekhyun who is still totally engrossed in the movie.  he promptly ignores the sinking in his stomach and blames it on the butter.

"no shit," baekhyun grumbles.  he glances up as kyungsoo approaches the couch with his offering of peace and smiles.  "thanks, kyungsoo."

kyungsoo sits next to chanyeol and steals his blanket back.  olaf looks dumb.  a lot like chanyeol.

chanyeol ends up falling asleep during the dramatic reveal (kyungsoo himself can't help but find the trolls a little bit unsettling, and this was definitely not his favorite song of the movie) and baekhyun is on the edge of his seat, legs jiggling under the blanket kyungsoo had thrown over the other two.

"come on, anna.  he's right there," kyungsoo hears baekhyun whispering.  and it's cute, the way his eyes flit nervously across the screen, the way he chews on his bottom lip.

it'll work out, kyungsoo tries to say, to be a little reassuring.  but the scene pans out and kyungsoo realizes he missed his chance so he slumps against the arm rest and watches as chanyeol slips onto the floor with a thud.

kyungsoo's come to the conclusion that olaf is his favorite character.  he can't put his finger on why, partially because his hand is caught under the bowl that baekhyun slammed down in anger.

"seriously?  seriously, what kind of plot twist is this?" baekhyun frowns.  "i knew hans was too good to be true."

"it's disney," kyungsoo says, "and uh, my hand, baekhyun."

baekhyun picks up the bowl with a sheepish smile as he apologizes.  kyungsoo takes a breath and just grins back.

some people are worth melting for, right?

it's a rather dramatic buildup and for a moment, kyungsoo's stomach sinks to his feet.  maybe disney's trying to go for a different approach to endings with protagonist deaths, he thinks worriedly, and baekhyun looks a little frozen himself.

but then anna begins to melt in elsa's embrace and everything's suddenly okay as elsa starts shooting love beams out of her hands to bring arendelle a beautiful summer once more.

baekhyun blinks.  "that was different."

"yeah."  kyungsoo laughs without realizing, "sisters."

he doesn't even have to look to see that baekhyun's grinning goofily.  "sisters."

the most satisfying part of the ending is when olaf gets his own flurry cloud, kyungsoo concludes, but overall he has to admit that it's a solid movie.  baekhyun seems to agree as he kicks his feet up on the coffee table and starts humming let it go.

tao walks through the front door with a bag full of snacks and eggs.  "they had frozen character gummies," he says cheerily.  "did you like it?"

kyungsoo looks over at baekhyun, who's staring at him with utter concentration.  it sends a tingling feeling down his arm.  "yup," kyungsoo chuckles, "it was great.  thanks, tao."

tao beams, and that seems to snap baekhyun out of it.

"thanks for watching it with me," baekhyun says.  kyungsoo shrugs since it wasn't such a big deal really, but then baekhyun leans forward and kisses him on the cheek, and does that little exhale laugh that tickles kyungsoo's neck.  "i'm gonna go shower now."  he's already off, singing love is an open door on the way there.

kyungsoo covers his face with the popcorn bowl and groans.  what a dumbass.  baekhyun is undoubtedly the worst movie partner ever.

wait.  he bats a kernel off his cheek.  hold on... (tick, tock, tick) oh.

he's the dumbass, kyungsoo realizes as he steps on chanyeol's back.  he scrambles into the bathroom just in time, meeting baekhyun's grin with one of his own, and shuts the door behind him with a click.
