Crazy for you

Apr 27, 2010 17:16

“Well well, what do we have here? The Almighty Key, sitting by himself during a slow dance at prom? I’m shocked.” Jong Hyun loosened his tie and plopped himself down on the chair beside his best friend. Kibum shrugged and swirled the contents of his cup around, and he watched as it splashed outside the cup, staining the white table cloth. “You know they have to wash that.” Jong Hyun frowned.

“What do you want? So I’m sitting by myself. I don’t see you with anyone else either.” Kibum quickly turned the situation on Jong Hyun and the older one laughed.

“You’re such a downer. Lighten up a bit. I’m just kidding.” Jong Hyun hit Kibum’s arm playfully, but the younger one continued to stare blankly ahead of him.

“Don’t you have some girls to dance with?” Kibum glanced sideways, and Jong Hyun shrugged.

“I guess. Don’t you?”

“No. I think I’m gonna stay here for a bit.”

Jong Hyun stared at Kibum worriedly for a second, but figured that whatever the little diva was being so dramatic about, it would all be gone later. “Okay, then. I think I’m gonna go find some girls to dance with. I’ll catch ya later.” Jong Hyun got up and patted Kibum’s back, as he squeezed himself into the crowd of dancing people.

I see you through the smoky air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare?
You’re so close but still a world away

Kibum sighed and let his gaze follow Jong Hyun’s back, eyeing enviously as he grinded against some girl he didn’t know. Kibum felt pathetic; he was scared to do or say anything, knowing that it could risk their friendship. Losing Jong Hyun was the last thing he wanted. So he remained quiet.

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are

Jong Hyun grinned as he made his way back to Kibum, wiping off the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. Kibum was still slumped forward in his chair, and Jong Hyun knew that he was probably going to regret it, but he decided to ask why.

“Key why are being such a bum? And where’s your date, seriously? I thought a lot of people asked you?”

“I turned them all down.”

“Ah, so now you’re bummed because you realized that you probably shouldn’t have done that?”

“No, I was going to ask someone else.”

“Oh. Then why didn’t you ask?”

“I got scared.”

Jong Hyun laughed, thinking that what Kibum said was a joke. The Almighty Key, afraid? It wasn’t possible. But when Kibum looked up at him and glared, Jong Hyun figured that he was being serious.

“Sorry. I just…didn’t think anything scared you. But you must have really liked this person, huh?”

Kibum nodded slowly, and Jong Hyun leaned over to give the younger one a hug. Kibum was surprised at first, but he melted into the hug right away, not wanting to let go. But Jong Hyun eventually pulled away, and another slow song came up, this time to the tune of “Crazy for you” by Madonna. Kibum fixed his bangs, and Jong Hyun grinned.

“Wanna dance?” he asked, and Kibum raised an eyebrow at him.

“Are you crazy? No.” Kibum felt the strong desire to implode from happiness, but he needed to keep his cover up.

“Oh, come on. I know you want to.” Jong Hyun laughed and pulled Kibum’s arm, but the younger one stubbornly stayed in his place.

“I’m not dancing with you! People might get wrong ideas.”

“So? I’m bored. Let’s do it as a joke. C’mon.” Jong Hyun smiled, and Kibum finally gave in. What harm could one dance do, right? Jong Hyun dragged Kibum contently to the center of the dance floor, pushing past some couples. They swayed awkwardly to the music at first, but Jong Hyun stepped closer. He took Kibum’s arms and draped it around his neck, before he placed his own arms around the younger one’s small waist. Kibum was looking down the whole time, too embarrassed to look at Jong Hyun, in fear that his stare might give him away.

“Hm, you’re blushing. That’s cute.” Jong Hyun grinned, which only caused Kibum to blush even more.

“Shut up.” Kibum stuck his tongue out. He decided to look up just once. It would only be for a few seconds, and Kibum would look down again. But once he looked into Jong Hyun’s eyes, he was sucked deep into them, unable to look away.

Eye to eye we need no words at all
slowly now we begin to move
every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time

Unconsciously, Jong Hyun slowly pulled Kibum closer to him as they both started swaying to the music, but less awkwardly this time. They were standing so close that their breaths collided with each other’s. Kibum’s eyelids were fluttering half closed, thinking that it was all too good to be true. Soon, Kibum felt everything and everyone around them slowly disappear. There was nothing but Jong Hyun and the music. They were at a standstill in time, swaying slowly from side to side. Kibum closed his eyes and placed his chin on Jong Hyun’s shoulders, trying to savour the moment. He tried to remember every little detail of it and etch it carefully into his memory

Jong Hyun exhaled contently and realized that the song was almost done, and most people were giving them weird looks. “Kibum…” Jong Hyun said softly, and the younger one lifted his head from Jong Hyun’s shoulder.

“I-I’m sorry.” Kibum cleared his throat and slipped his arms off Jong Hyun’s neck, as he fussed with his hair again.

“What’re you sorry for?”

“I-I don’t k--well, this.” Kibum leaned in and closed the space between them. He closed his eyes and touched their lips together, and he felt his toes curl as butterflies exploded in his stomach. They broke away for air, and he expected Jong Hyun to push him away, but Kibum didn’t care. He felt a load lift from his shoulders now that he finally found enough courage to do something. Jong Hyun stood in place as if he was trying to comprehend what just happened. Kibum shook his head feverishly and covered his face with his hands.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, oh god, I’m sorry.” His muffled apologies came from behind his hands, but Jong Hyun only smiled and peeled the hands off.

“Was that a confession?” Jong Hyun questioned, and Kibum nodded his head slowly. He was sure that everyone was staring at them now, but Jong Hyun only smirked. Kibum stood in place as he suddenly regretted his actions. But Jong Hyun still had that smile on his face. “Well, I have a confession of my own.” Jong Hyun leaned in and whispered into Kibum’s ear as the last of the song dragged on.

it’s all brand new, I’m crazy for you
and you know it’s true, I’m crazy, crazy for you
it’s all brand new, I’m crazy for you
and you know it’s true, yeah, I’m crazy for you
Crazy for you baby

“I’m crazy for you.”
