untitled fic.
niel-centric, fluff, g. lapslock.
niel's not that great with intimacy--real intimacy.
hugging? fine. holding hands? sure. cuddling with any of his band members while they watch a movie? yeah, that's okay, too. but kissing? kissing is an entirely different story.

themagicalfaggy . i'm too lazy to think of a title. sorry. also, in case anyone who happens upon this isn't entirely familiar with the members of teen top (i'm not either, really /knows nothing of their personalities/); niel is obviously himself, changhyun is ricky, jonghyun is changjo, and byunghun is l.joe.
'hey, hyung, have you ever... you know?'
'no, i don't know,' byunghun replies, glancing up from his work for a second.
niel leans in real close, indicating byunghun should do the same and whispers, 'have you ever kissed a girl?'
byunghun laughs loudly. it's a bit mean, but this is niel asking him and the kid is only a year younger than himself. he pretends not to notice the strange look jonghyun is giving him from over at the mirror, nor does he pay much mind to niel's frown.
'i'm not changhyun. i'm not some kid who hasn't lived. i'm seventeen.'
changhyun, who is across the table from them, lets out an undignified squawk and an 'i'm not a kid, okay!'
'of course you're not,' he sticks his tongue out at the younger boy.
'and you say he's a child,' niel huffs. 'but really...' he trails off. he'd probably be the butt of every joke he hears from byunghun for the next, say, two months, but he's almost tempted to just put it out there. yes, he's scared. hugging? fine. holding hands? sure. cuddling with any of his band members while they watch a movie? yeah, that's okay, too.
but kissing? kissing--or anything more intimate--is an entirely different story.
'but really what?' changhyun asks, glancing at byunghun who had gone back to doing his work. he hums a little to let the two know he's still paying attention.
'i'm sort of just... i don't know. you'd probably say i'm scared,' he nods at byunghun. 'but i'm more just...' he trails off again.
'scared.' byunghun cuts in.
'okay, yeah. because i don't know what to do or when to do it or even just... how.'
byunghun laughs again and grabs hold of changhyun's hand. changhyun's eyes go wide.
'we're just practicing. pretending,' byunghun tells him. 'so it's sort of like this...'
he pulls changhyun a little closer, pressing up against the younger boy in all places he shouldn't, and turns his head a little to the left.
'and then you...'
niel stops being worried about whatever the hell byunghun is doing right about when the older boy lets a smirk form on his lips for a split second. he's maybe a centimeter or two from changhyun's lips when he pulls back, laughs, and turns to niel.
'and that's how you do it. except you actually kiss them.'
niel sighs audibly. 'that doesn't help, all that did was scare changhyun.' (to which the younger boy nods in agreement.)
'it's not like i can help unless you want to practice kissing with me,' byunghun shoots back. 'you'll just... you'll know when the time comes. it'll just feel right, you know?'
niel groans.
'you are so lame.'
