(一)
Some people manage to stand out no matter how much they try to hide it by pulling on hats, putting on huge sunglasses and wearing dark colored clothing. Even under all those layers, you can see them shining from within. Tablo marvels at how ordinary Eunhyuk is when he is stripped away of his heavy make up and expensive outfits. Eunhyuk becomes ordinary Hyukjae, just like Tablo becomes Daniel. But Tablo doesn't like to turn into Daniel. Daniel is buried somewhere deep inside, left behind at university, before he grew up and took off his rose tinted glasses. Daniel exists only to his parents and David. He's Tablo now.
Tablo touches Hyukjae's back, moving his fingers across his back. It sends a shiver down Hyukjae's spine.
"I'm trying to find your wings," Tablo says, as if that explains everything. His fingers run across Hyukjae's shoulder blade and down to his lower back, feeling the grooves carved into the muscles.
Hyukjae doesn't even pretend to understand because he stopped trying ages ago, from the first hello, did you know that if you go 4 days without sleep, you create the most intense, most beautiful music? "Um, okay. Is that some play off the lyrics of Paris?"
"Where did you hide your wings?" Tablo wonders. He sees Hyukjae giving him a questioning look and he sighs. "I'm not making sense, am I? I like to think you're an angel. Angels bring joy and hope and beauty."
Hyukjae smiles. "I haven't been described as an angel before. The image conjured when you speak of angels is someone like porcelain Jaejoong or innocent Sungmin. They shine and glow in different angelic ways."
Tablo shakes his head softly. "Those aren't angels; those are devils in disguise. Irresistible temptations that only bring us hurt and harm. Angels hide among common folk, looking every bit as human as us. And I believe, you are an angel, my angel."
Soft smiles surface and fingers entwine until sunrise.

Hyukjae is muttering something under his breath. You stretch casually and lean in a little, trying not to be too obvious that you're eavesdropping.
It’s a song, you realize in surprise. It’s your song. And not even a title track or one of the more known songs, but a song only hardcore fans that listened to every album you released knew existed. Well, not exactly your song, but a never before released collaboration with Nell that has only been performed a few times.
"How did you know this song?" You blurt out, forgetting that you weren't supposed to let him know you were listening.
He drops the pencil in his hand and it falls to the floor with a clatter. His eyes fly to your face as if he just realized you were in the room. "Oh, I, uh, I thought Epik high songs were awesome and I was searching for performances when I stumbled onto this," he admits, a little embarrassed and a little shy.
"Oh." You're ridiculously happy at the thought of a hoobae liking your songs enough to know such a rare song. "I haven't heard it in such a long time; I've almost forgotten the lyrics."
Hyukjae looks at you and blinks and you have a feeling that he knows every single word to the song and can willingly refresh your memory on any part that you forget. It's not everyday you meet a special hoobae like that so you smile and ask, "Do you want to come over to my place and listen to a few pieces I've been working on."
He almost trips over himself in excitement and agrees so quickly and you can't help but notice how adorable it is.

"Why do you stay with me?" Hyukjae asks as they cuddle on the couch and watch silent films that Tablo loves and Hyukjae doesn't understand.
Because you complete the part of me that has been empty for so so long and you bring me insatiable joy that bubbles from my toes to my fingertips and flows all over me. Because my heart constricts and aches and I can't breath when I don't see you.
Because I love you.
"Because you're jailbait," Tablo says coolly instead. "It’s nice to tempt the law."
"I'm 6 years too old to be jailbait," Hyukjae says with a frown.
"Well then I better find someone who actually is. I think Henry is free. I haven't spoken English for ages," Tablo teases, a mock serious expression on his face.
"No, hyung," Hyukjae clutches Tablo, eyes widening with genuine fear because he still can't believe that someone as awesome as Tablo chose to be with him. Oh, he came off as clingy. It probably isn't a wise idea to appear clingy. Hyukjae loosens his grip and clears his throat, "I mean, Henry is with Donghae. We don't want to wreck a perfectly good relationship."
"I thought Donghae was with Kibum," Tablo says, barely masking a laugh with a cough.
The laugh makes Hyukjae relax and he realizes (he hopes) it’s a joke. "He is. Donghae is with a lot of people," Hyukjae says thoughtfully, trying to count the amount of people Donghae is with (himself included at some point) and figure out which people that Donghae is no longer with and which people that Donghae never was with (this one is a very short list). Hyukjae shakes his head and snuggles closer to Tablo. "But that's not important. It’s only important that we're together."
Tablo laughs and messes up Hyukjae's hair and they continue to watch the film until Hyukjae falls asleep to the flickering images on screen.
