Seven Days: Part Three

[selubrationmod]

It was Tuesday, six in the morning and the sun had just started to cast his morning rays against the white walls of Luhan’s bedroom. He shifted a little as the cool morning sea breeze made its way inside. He shivered as he pulled the blankets over his chilled bones. He turned to lie on his side only to be met by the face of an angel. Or so he thought.

He blinked a couple of times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. Sehun’s face was just mere millimeters away. He could count all of his beautiful dark eyelashes if he wanted to. He pulled the blanket over both of their bodies. Sehun was still practically naked except for his boxers and with the little zephyr coming in through the window; he deduced his body would be cold.

He lay back on his side and continued to stare in awe at the magnificent being before him. His small pink lips slightly open inhaling and exhaling. He felt compelled to thank the universe at that moment for allowing such a wonderful being to breathe and exist.

Very slowly and cautiously he brought his index finger up and started to caress every bit of his dongsaeng’s face, wanting to memorize every little bit of him. He gently traced the outline of his sharp jaw, his fingers ever so carefully making their way to the curves if his nose. He traced the outline of his forehead, down to his dreaming eyes. He ran his finger along the faint small scar on his cheek, albeit a bit disappointed he did not know how the younger had acquired it.

He couldn’t fathom how beautiful this person was. His fingers made their way down to those small pink and plump lips. Memories of their last summer together bombarded his mind. The day he had felt like he wanted to taste those lips, claim them with his own. He stared at them hungrily while his index finger traced along the bottom lip, biting his own, he very slowly leaned in to close the centimeters between them.

The urge to taste him was too strong and Luhan was oh so very weak. The sight of this magnificent being in front of him, sleeping, vulnerable, unaware of his indecent thoughts were too overwhelming. He leaned in and let his tongue lap at Sehun’s bottom lip.

He craved the feeling; he had never wanted something as badly as he wanted to taste those lips at that very moment. He closed his eyes as his lips parted and closed against his little dongsaengs bottom lip. He inhaled as he gently nibbled on it. Sehun’s bottom lip between his own, His teeth dragging it and pulling at it slightly, and for a brief moment he knew the sweet taste of bliss.

He continued to suck on it before releasing it and pulling away. He stared at his sleeping dongsaeng in his bed, fuck you can't be my dongsaeng, I want you so bad. He probably just violated him on so many accounts, but how was he able to contain himself? He came to the conclusion that he in fact, could not. He was hooked. The chemical currents rushing through his veins were addicting. How on earth was he supposed to live without his drug from now on?

Sehun inhaled as he shifted closer to him. “Hyung” he whispered and Luhan was taken aback. Had Sehun been awake? Had he been a witness of Luhan’s weakness? He could still feel the plumpness of Sehun’s lip as he graced his fingers over his own, eyes closing, inhaling deeply as he felt deprived. He wanted more. God he wanted more. But he would be patient.

He only hoped his Hunnie wouldn’t be upset at finding out he secretly stole a kiss while he slept. He lay on his back and looked over to him. He had a very difficult time falling asleep after last night’s scenario. It took all of him to not ravage his little dongsaeng’s body while he lay there on his bed looking so vulnerable.

His eyes shifted to his skylight, the sunrise making its introduction and gracing them with a brand new day. He smiled at the thought of being so close to this boy who so suddenly had taken over his world. He was so fascinated by him and although it had taken him so long to realize, he was thankful that he had. Better late than never, he mumbled. It was still early but he decided to get up so he can spoil the younger with breakfast in bed.

Sehun woke up to the sound of waves crashing in the distance. He opened one eye as he peered into the room, realizing it was Tuesday morning. He refused to wake up. Go back to sleep. He had dreamt of his hyung’s beautiful face smiling at him, he had also dreamt of his hyung’s lips. Although Sehun refused to believe he had any romantic feelings left for his hyung, he still felt physically attracted to him and dreaming of tasting his hyung’s lips was needless to say, bittersweet.

He rolled in the blankets inhaling a bit of Luhan’s scent, which lingered on the sheets. He closed his eyes as he hugged the blankets tighter to his chest. Being in his hyung’s bed after so many years seemed surreal. Although he’d much rather be tangled up with the other instead of waking up alone. Don’t give in; you’re here to prove to him that you can be more than a little brother, nothing more.

He recalled the night before and how tired he was. He remembers teasing his hyung. I don’t really sleep naked but your reaction was to die for. He remembers how flustered Luhan was at the thought of removing what little clothing he had on. For some reason, he had been tired beyond exhaustion but he hadn’t wanted the night to end. His body responded to vividly remembering how Luhan’s hands were grazing his thigh back and forth.

Removing the bed sheets which were now way too warm for his liking, he lay legs spread and arms behind his neck as the images caused his body to heat up, he inhaled and closed his eyes as he heard the doorknob rattling. Deciding to just pretend to be asleep to see what actions his hyung takes sounded like an amazing idea, considering there was rather a large tent that had now formed in his boxers. This should be interesting.

Luhan opened the door of his bedroom carrying the tray of food and slowly walked over to the bed. As soon as his eyes landed on the bed he almost dropped the tray. There was his gorgeous and extremely sexy dongsaeng laid flat on the bed, legs spread open, chest fully uncovered and a very prominent morning wood on full display for his eyes to see. He was now both very thankful and very angry that he had not taken off his boxers the night before. He lowered the tray on top of his dresser and with a gulp he made his way over to Sehun.

He carefully stood over him. He was still asleep; he had to be, otherwise I’m sure he wouldn’t want me to see him in such a compromising position. It was taking all of Luhan to not touch Sehun but he could only resist so much. His cheeks were already red and his body was in heat.

The things he’d love to do at this minute kept winning the battle in his mind over whether he should satiate his hunger or control himself. Too bad he was so weak. He imagined himself right now, taking off all of his clothes, and removing Sehun’s boxers as he climbed on top of him. Biting his thumb he couldn’t help himself. He just wasn’t able to look away and sure, last night he had gotten a really amazing glimpse of Sehun’s beautiful body but it was dark and his room had so much light and maybe he could just take a peek.

Climbing over the bed slowly and carefully, he got in between Sehun’s legs. The view was magnificent. He could see Sehun’s jawline and collarbones looking so delectable. He could see his chest rise up and down from his steady breathing. He lifted himself up just a little to get a better view of his perfectly pale-pink and round nipples. Just a little taste wouldn’t hurt would it?

He propped himself up at the right angle careful not to brush over Sehun’s hard on as he carefully brought his mouth over his perfectly sculpted stomach to his perky nubs, he looked over at Sehun who was still asleep, or so he thought and he gently lapped at his right nipple. Sehun inhaled sharply and Luhan froze, never ceasing his stare on Sehun.

If he were to open up his eyes right now, what would he possibly say?

“I’m sorry you’re too fucking irresistible and I couldn’t help myself! Can you fucking blame me though? You’re practically a sex god! Tell me what am supposed to do with myself when you literally scream SEX?!” Yea that sounds good. I’ll go with that.

However, Sehun’s eyes never opened. Yes! I’m safe! He carefully propped himself back when he was startled by Sehun moaning “Mmmmmm more” surely he was dreaming because there was no way in hell Sehun was conscious right now. Luhan licking his nipple along with his morning wood most likely brought up a wet dream and fuck was Luhan feeling so guilty right now.

He brought his fingers over Sehun’s perfectly cut abs and traced each and every one until he reached his V line. He gently rubbed his fingers up and down and Sehun’s breathing got ragged. He saw him twitch and Luhan came to the realization that Sehun was unaware of what was happening and Luhan felt like the biggest pervert in the entire Universe.

He looked up and sighed I’m so weak. He carefully got off the bed and went into the bathroom where he quietly relieved himself with the vision of sucking on every part of Sehun’s body in the next room.

Sehun was in a state of shock, after Luhan locked himself in the bathroom he immediately opened his eyes and palmed himself because what the fuck just happened. He felt when Luhan got on top of the bed, he felt when Luhan propped himself up and he’s trying his best to convince himself that what he felt was Luhan’s warm tongue burning his skin. He can practically still feel that hot wet tongue and the burn of his fingers on his body that sent wild electric waves thought his body.

This meant Sehun affected Luhan one way or another. He was proud of himself for rattling the elders senses but fuck that felt so fucking good and Sehun realized he needs to control himself because one single touch from the older could have him seeing endless stars and he wasn’t here to see stars, no, he was here to cause them.

He quickly got up and put his shirt on and walked over to the window. Staring out to sea, he wondered why his hyung was taking so long in the bathroom when the door opened revealing a very flustered Luhan, pink rosy cheeks and messy hair looking like he had just went out for a run, Sehun couldn’t help but smile when realized what his hyung was doing, “Hyung are you ok?” he smirked as he walked over to the bed.

Luhan nervously stepped out of the bathroom and walked over to the dresser to retrieve the tray and cleared his throat “I’m ok… here Sehunnie, I made you breakfast! I hope you’re hungry!” he placed the tray of food over Sehun and sat next to him.

“I love when you call me Sehunnie!” he smiled amusedly and Luhan blushed. “Oh this looks so good!” he said taking a bite of the toast, “I slept amazingly hyung, to be honest this is the best bed I’ve ever laid on! I don’t think I want to lie on any other bed! Ever! What about you?” he asked raising an eyebrow.

“I’m- I’m so glad to hear that. I slept well too.” He was ashamed of himself and at all the naughty things he had done to Sehun this morning. How was he supposed to go through the entire summer this way? His self-control was slowly deteriorating.

“I was thinking maybe after breakfast we could go down to The Mile? And maybe see a movie and get some ice cream?”

“Like a date?” Sehun smirked and Luhan blushed. Sehun was content that he could make Luhan blush with simple words.

“Well, that’s not-“

“I’d love to hyung! Let me just finish up and take a shower and then we can do absolutely whatever you want ok?” Sehun winked in the hopes of sounding the least bit suggestive. “Come eat with me” he said as held up a piece of toast and Luhan opened his mouth to take it.

It was late afternoon as they walked through the crowded streets of the long mile filled with odd combinations of restaurants and workboats, open-air bars and fish markets, street fairs, live music and foghorns. They stopped to get ice cream as they peered out onto the fisherman working by the marina. Sehun constantly stopping to wipe off the vanilla ice cream that Luhan kept getting on his chin.

“Hyung, are you sure you aren’t really two years old?” he’d playfully mock Luhan, who would give him double death glares and mumble incoherent words about how he’s a full grown man, a manly one at that, while pouting and Sehun would burst into laughter at how adorable his hyung was.

Sehun realized how much he missed the time they actually had spent together and for a brief moment considered killing his mission and just enjoy himself. It was so easy being in Luhan’s presence. The way he acknowledged you and made sure you were ok, the way his warm smile invited you into his life and Sehun wished he could just relish in it for a lifetime and let those fragments of his painful past go. He would rather have Luhan in his life as an older brother figure than not have him at all and really, his plan was overly stupid because who the hell wouldn’t want to date Oh Sehun to begin with.

So there, in between wiping off vanilla ice cream off of his hyung’s chin and seeing his lip jutted out like a two year old he decided to just go with the flow. It might turn out to be his worst mistake, he might live to regret it or it could be the best decision he could have possibly taken. Screw the plan, Jongin was right. He would enjoy this summer as best as he could. He had waited to spend time with Luhan for so long and he wasn’t about to let his selfish, albeit very fun ways get in the way of him fully enjoying his long time friend. He smiled as he felt a heavy weight being lifted off his shoulders.

“You are impossible” he poked Luhan’s waist, the older scrunching up his eyebrows and shooting him a very confused look. They sat outside the ice cream shop. Sehun who was now fully finished with his chocolate ice cream was now staring at his hyung, elbows propped up on the table, his head resting on the palm of his hands. He watched him take small licks at his ice cream and suddenly he felt heat overtake his body as he recalled how Luhan licked his skin that morning.

“Sehunnie, what’s wrong? Why are you so red all of a sudden? Are you feeling ok?”

“Y-yea I’m fine the sun is just really strong” he looked up at the non-existent sun, which was now setting on the western horizon.

“But Hunnie, the sun-”

“Ah! Look over there! Those fisherman seem to have caught something, come lets go see!” He pulled Luhan towards the marina where Sehun didn’t let go of their hands as they watched the men bring in their catch. Had Sehun looked over at Luhan perhaps he’d noticed the little rosy blush that colored his cheeks as he gazed at their interlaced fingers.

That evening they decided to catch a movie at the local theatre. Perhaps it was the fact that it was Tuesday but they were the only ones there. They opted for a thriller because Luhan loved suspense. The movie kept them at the edge of their seat. Luhan had purposely grabbed only one straw when he had paid for their popcorn and soda.

Sehun didn’t seem to mind so they both sipped happily from the same straw. Luhan could only imagine the day he wouldn’t have to resort to indirectly kissing Sehun through a plastic straw. It happened when they were midway through the movie when Luhan felt Sehun’s leg on top of his.

Sehun had crossed one of his legs over the other but had then quickly decided to lean it on top of Luhan’s instead, not only was his leg now resting comfortably on top of his hyung’s but he then proceeded to lay his head on top of his shoulder. “This is nice, Luhan. Thank you.” He said.

Luhan a bit taken aback by the fact that Sehun had called him by his name instead of ‘hyung’ made the butterflies in his stomach stir. He blushed and didn’t say anything as he rested his head on top of the younger.

They could both feel their hearts palpitating at irregular speeds, Sehun mentally fighting with himself to enjoy the moment with his friend and Luhan trying so desperately to keep his hands to himself. A huge part of him wanted to know whether Sehun saw him as more than an older brother so he took the initiative to grab Sehun’s hand inhaling sharply at the soft touch.

He closed his fingers over Sehun’s and reveled in all the pleasure one single touch was able to produce. He figured since Sehun had not retrieved his hand that he was comfortable with it. He also assured himself that the chemistry had to be mutual. “There’s no way in hell I’m the only one feeling this,” he concurred with himself.

After the movie ended they walked home, hands still entwined and once settled in bed, a very tired Luhan fell asleep almost immediately as Sehun stared at the ceiling replaying the memory of his hyung holding his hand. He questioned his actions but wasn’t a fool to break the contact his hyung had purposely initiated. Had he been aware that it was something Sehun longed for? Had he somehow read his mind? Sehun fell asleep thinking of the heat they had both willingly shared.

~

They lay in bed Wednesday morning as the faint sound of rolling thunder echoed through the walls of the bedroom. Luhan enveloped himself into the blanket as he stirred and turned leaning his arms over Sehun’s chest and his leg over his abdomen. Snuggling deeper into the warm comfort of Sehun’s body as the rain poured.

A roll of thunder made its way across the sky and brought Sehun back into consciousness as he was now fully aware of his surroundings. He shifted his body to face Luhan. He smiled at the way his hyung had his limbs on top of him sleeping so soundly.

It’s been so long since we’ve cuddled in bed. He closed his eyes and relished in the harmonic thrumming, the sound of nature’s white noise falling freely, without remorse, without any guilt.

The way they let themselves fall, giving, enabling life to the crying earth and renewing the life roots of what had been deemed withering or dead. They fell without restrain, they fell hard and fast and oh, how beautiful did they fall. He inhaled as he smiled and for once the pitter-patter seemed to dance across the skies.

They decided to stay indoors because they had both agreed; ‘nothing beats a rainy day in bed.’ After the wonderful breakfast Sehun had made them, they spent a couple of hours cuddled under the blankets as they watched cartoons. It had been so long since either of them had even properly sat down and devoted free time to television, let alone cheesy cartoons.

Sehun was in love with the moment and he quickly realized that Luhan’s laughter accompanied by the sound of the rain could rival any of the mellifluous symphonies he had ever heard.

After a couple of hours, Sehun had gotten off the bed and walked downstairs as he stared into the sea from the veranda. He felt contentment among satisfaction. The skies were dark but the rain seemed beautiful and Sehun was so inspired by the way it fell. He was inspired by the way it affected the sea, how the sea embraced and delighted itself in it. He climbed back upstairs and decided to write.

Laying on the bed and opening up his laptop he perched himself against the headboard and spent most of the afternoon and a great part of the evening indulging himself in visuals and metaphors and poetry as he looked over to the one person who had always been his inspiration laid out on the carpet reading none other than his own work and completely and utterly oblivious to it.

He also hadn’t questioned why Sehun was typing his life away all of a sudden but as soon as he had seen Sehun go into work mode he had remained quiet and instead, opted to turn off the television and sit on the carpet as he began to read the small collection of books resting atop his dainty bookcase. He honestly loved the fact that his hyung seemed to enjoy reading.

t was even more enthralling to find out that he loved his writing. Every now and then he would interrupt Sehun with “Sehunnie listen to this!” or he’d hear small mumbles of “wow crazy heartache.” You have no idea.

Sehun could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It didn’t seem like it would stop anytime soon and his fingers were tired from all that typing. He closed his laptop and climbed over to the edge of the bed, laying on his stomach and chin rested on his palms, he gazed at Luhan who was very focused on his reading, biting his nails and scrunching up his nose every once in a while. So fucking adorable.

“Read something interesting?” he asked curiously,

“Yea, I mean Zen is talking about how he practically fell for this person one day and then went about years without seeing or speaking to them, but what I don’t understand is that he says that person invaded his thoughts day in and day out, but I mean, why not just contact them? If after so long of not being in touch it’s incredible that he still felt the same way, its amazing how he was still in love but why didn’t he just contact them?” he looked over at Sehun baffled at how anyone was able to put themselves through something like that.

“Keep reading,” and he did. Sehun watching his face transform from perplexed to sympathetic. His cute little pink lips formed a small ‘o’ as he continued to read. Sehun could watch him forever, the way his eyelashes brushed over his eyes when he blinked. The way he inhaled and the way his beautiful fingers held his most treasured thoughts. His admiring was short lived when Luhan suddenly tilted his head up and looked over at Sehun, intrigued.

“Wait a second- how did you know?”

Sehun pushed himself off the bed, and grabbed the book; he closed it and set it atop the bookshelf. He extended his hand down to Luhan who grabbed it and pulled him up. He stretched his arms out and yawned, “I’m hungry hyung, let’s make dinner.”

~

The warm light of the sun awakened them Thursday morning. Tangled up in each others arms; something they had both deemed to be so far off but here they were a mess of beautiful limbs and sleepy eyes. Sehun couldn’t be happier knowing his intentions of being with Luhan were now sincere.

He was no longer hiding his motives for being close to him. He was just enjoying his presence to the fullest. Luhan loved every minute of it. It had been so long since he’s felt so alleviated and content being with someone. Not just anyone, someone who had been special throughout all of his life and was even more special now as his feelings for Sehun evolved as the days passed.

They found themselves walking the streets of town around lunchtime. They had agreed to going to the carnival on The Mile and relishing on the festivities therein. They traveled every year and set up for about a month bringing the joy of an amusement park to the locals at the shore. It just so happened this would be the last day before they packed up and moved over to the next town.

Luhan dragged Sehun over to the admissions box. They each got a matching wristband that allowed them access to every single ride. Luhan was skeptic about all the high rollercoasters and the Ferris wheel but Sehun was adamant about riding them and for the sake of being manly and the fact that he was the hyung, he tried to suppress his fears.

Sehun was kind to him however and steered clear of all the rollercoasters, teasing Luhan by calling him an old timer but was reluctant to ride the Ferris wheel. He promised to leave that until the end and in the meantime they rode everything else.

First up were the bumper cars. Sehun excitedly hopped onto a blue car, albeit overly uncomfortable because of his height and Luhan took the red one right behind him laughing and taunting Sehun.

“I’m a better driver Sehunnie! You better watch yourself!” He teased.

“In your dreams are you a better driver hyung!” Sehun scoffed as they counted down and the cars were powered on. Sehun pushed his foot on the accelerator as fast as he could but not as fast as Luhan had, for he bumped into Sehun’s car and it spun around as he kept driving ahead. Once Sehun had his car back in control, he went after Luhan. They bumped each other back and forth, sounds of laughter filling the maze and before they knew it the ride had stopped.

After what seemed like the hundredth ride on the bumper cars and countless of bickering about who was the better driver, Luhan wanted to ride the carousel.

“Hyung, seriously, are you sure you really aren’t two years old?” Luhan punched his arm and said it was because the bumper cars had made him feel sick and he needed to just sit and relax for a moment.

“There’s a bench right there” Sehun had pointed out but Luhan was already dragging him towards the ride.

“Hyung do I have to? This is so out of my league, I don’t even fit- like I am literally the tallest-I’m going to scare these children half to death-that’s it I’m getting off!” Sehun anxiously rambled on.

“Sehunnieeeee pretty pleaseeeeeee” Luhan pouted and how on earth was Sehun supposed to resist that?

So he found himself perched up on pony number 12 and for the entire 1 minute and thirty seconds that the ride lasted all he did was look at his twenty six year old hyung wearing a whimsical smile, albeit a bit creepy considering he was sitting on a damn porcelain pony in a children’s ride, but his smile was gorgeous and every time he looked over at Sehun, his eyes sparkled and Sehun couldn’t help the fluttering in his chest.

“Lets just forget about how old we are ok, lets just pretend that we’re kids again! Don’t worry about who’s looking or what they’re going to say. We are having fun and that’s all that matters.” Luhan had excitedly told Sehun with a mouth full of cotton candy.

So Sehun had listened to him and as soon as he forgot about his age he started to enjoy himself and on many occasions he did in fact feel like they had gone back in time. To the time when they ran hand in hand across the grainy sand, laughing and without a care in the world. It’s been too long since I’ve felt this way.

After sundown they had practically gone on every ride, from the haunted house in which Luhan could not stop screaming and Sehun could not stop laughing, to the teacups in which Luhan had turned the wheel way too fast laughing maniacally and Sehun literally felt like he would hurl his lunch at any second.

“This is so much fun! Come on Sehun! Turn the wheel! Turn it!” Sehun vowed to never take Luhan to an amusement park, or carnival or anyplace that even held the dammed teacup ride! He even went as far as to say he wont be drinking any sort of tea or anything in a cup for a very long time.

Sehun insisted on riding a rollercoaster but every time he would even mention it Luhan would amusedly say, “What’s that Sehunnie? You want to go on the tea cups again?” to which Sehun would reply by covering his mouth and gagging.

The only one left to go on was the Ferris wheel.

“Sehunnie lets go play some of the games” Luhan insisted, trying to avoid the inevitable. He grabbed Sehun’s hand and led them to the “Fish Bowl” game. “I’m going to get me a pretty fishy Sehunnie and I’m going to name her Ponyo!”

Sehun laughed out loud as he literally could not handle the amount of cute Luhan exuded. But no matter how many Ping-Pong balls he tried shooting at the damned empty fish bowls they just would not go in.

“Stupid balls! Stupid bowls!” he shouted, frustrated and annoyed.

“Let me try.” Sehun stepped in but it was to no avail. “What the hell?” he offered to buy the fish but Luhan said it wouldn’t be the same.

“We’ll come back later and try again.”

They played a couple of chance and skill games in which Sehun won a couple of stuffed animals for Luhan and Luhan won about the same amount for Sehun, they couldn’t carry them all so they gave them away to little kids and kept one for each other.

They made their way back to the rides but before exiting the game section of the carnival they stopped, for they vowed they would not leave without Ponyo! Sehun was determined to see that smile on Luhan’s face so he grabbed the bucket of Ping-Pong balls and the first one he threw landed on the bowl with a very subtle ‘clink’.

Luhan was overjoyed as he hugged his little dongsaeng. The carnival worker eyed them weirdly but they didn’t care. They had won! And as he handed them a plastic bag with a little golden fish Luhan’s eyes lit up and Sehun could feel that distracting fluttering in his chest once again.

“Ponyo! You’re our daughter now, so you must be the luckiest fishy in all the land!” Luhan had said and Sehun felt a pang in his chest at the way Luhan portrayed the fish as their offspring, because hell, he could have just said ‘pet’ or if he was going in that direction he could have just said ‘sibling’ but he said ‘daughter’ and Sehun was smiling like an idiot as Luhan interlocked their fingers and walked in the direction of the Ferris wheel.

“Luhan hyung, you don’t have to get on it, we can skip it,” Sehun said as he realized where they were going. The sun had already set and the lights on the Ferris wheel were on making it look incredibly bright and colorful, “besides I’ve heard it’s a really boring ride anyways.”

“I want to Sehun, I want to do it for you.” Feeling anxious and nervous, he wouldn’t normally do anything like this but Sehun had been such a good sport and he was certain that he had wanted to ride all those high roller coasters but he had held back for Luhan’s sake, the least he could do after being so selfless and after obtaining Ponyo was for him to get on this monster thing. How hard could it be anyway? He would be sitting and if anything, he could always just close his eyes.

The fear didn’t fully settle in until they were almost at the front of the line. Sehun noticed how frightened Luhan seemed although he was trying to hide it. He grabbed his hand and smiled over to him and Luhan relaxed a little. As they got in and sat, the small cabin started to roll back and forth and Luhan had never been so apprehensive. The car steadied it self as it started to move upwards.

Luhan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Sehun immediately placed his hand on top of Luhan’s. He could see how perfectly his hand covered the smaller. He smiled because every part of Luhan was lovely and he felt himself falling all over again.

He looked at their matching wristbands and said, “I don’t ever want to take this off.” Curious about what he was referring to, Luhan opened his eyes and looked at Sehun. He shot him a silent question and Sehun responded, “The bands. I don’t want to take mine off. I enjoyed myself so much today. More than I have in the past four years, I want to remember this day forever” He smiled sadly.

“I didn’t realize how much I missed you until right at this moment.” He looked up at Luhan who was blushing and staring at him with bewildering eyes.

He chuckled as he continued, “you are impossible hyung. I don’t know how I went through all this time in my life without you in it.” He looked down at their hands and brushed his thumb over Luhan’s smaller hand.

“Sehun- I don’t even know how to apologize for that. I know I already tried but it will never be enough. The last couple of days have made me so happy and seeing you again… seeing you again has really made me see how much I missed out on by being so busy.” He continued, sadness and regret present in his tone, “I just want you to know that it won’t happen again. I don’t ever want to let go of you. Ever again.”

He turned his hand over to interlock his fingers with Sehun’s and then he wasn’t sure if it was the altitude that they were at, or the fact that Sehun seemed to be blushing but the feeling of Sehun’s skin on his was more than enough to send waves of want through his entire being. Luhan wanted and needed so much more of Sehun's touch.

Sehun could see how affected Luhan was at the moment. He sighed contentedly as leaned over to Luhan’s ear and whispered “You promise?” the heat from Sehun’s mouth made Luhan inhale sharply as he closed his eyes, his body feeling the burning sensation that Sehun’s mouth emitted. Sehun didn’t pull away and instead got turned on by Luhan’s reaction.

He leaned in again but this time he decided to be bold and nipped at Luhan’s earlobe. His tongue lapping and sucking gently as he exhaled and once again asked him “Do you promise me?”

Luhan tried to suppress a moan, instead he bit his bottom lip and tilted his head sideways to look at Sehun with fire and lust in his eyes as he said, “I promise.”

Unwavering eye contact as Luhan started to lean in when the ride came to a rocking stop.

Luhan had completely forgotten about it. He forgot how high up he was. The only high he felt was the one Sehun had given him. He was still trying to regulate his breathing as he got off. He looked for Sehun in the crowd and when he spotted him, Sehun had simply said, “that was fun wasn’t it? You’re welcome hyung.”

Luhan was confused. Had Sehun done what he did to distract him from the ride? What about what he had said? Was that a distraction too? He felt a sharp pang in his chest as Sehun walked ahead of him.

“Come one, they’re going to start the fireworks in half an hour, I want to watch them from the beach.”

They made their way out of the carnival and back onto The Mile where Luhan saw Baekhyun and Chanyeol outside of the bar.

“Baek! Baek!” he ran over to his friend.

“Luhan you fucking asshole you didn’t call me back! I knew you wouldn’t! I don’t even know why I was even hoping. Kill myself waiting for your phone call.” Baekhyun looked away bitterly.

Luhan laughed and apologized. He exclaimed how he had been busy in the past week. He turned around and grabbed Sehun by the wrist.

“You remember my Hunnie don’t you?”

My Hunnie. Sehun felt that fluttering again and smiled at Baekhyun.
He remembered him vaguely the couple of times he had stopped over during those summers to play at the beach. He was loud and boisterous and he didn’t know why Luhan hung around him but he had to admit, he was fun to be around with.

Baekhyun swallowed and in the process of seeing Sehun he choked on his own saliva, Hunnie? The scrawny and lanky kid with the small overbite? This was Hunnie? What in the hell puberty? Really universe? You couldn’t spare some of that on me? I mean, you had to just give it all to this pair of bozos and none for me? Ok, I see how you do.

“Hunnie! Of course I remember you. My, you have surely grown.”

“Please, call me Sehun. Its nice to see you again.”

“Geez Luhan, I would have gotten wasted too.” He winked at Luhan who widened his eyes and cleared his throat.

“Baek, where are you headed with all that alcohol?” he asked pointing to the box filled with beer and liquor bottles that his friend was holding.

Baekhyun chuckled uncomfortably, “Well you see, since your rude ass didn’t call me at all, I kind of... sort of... toldeveryonethatwewerehavingasurprisewelcomebackpartyforyou… at your house… tomorrow night” he said with a mouthful.

“What the frick frack Baek, really?” he sighed defeatedly, “fine, how many people are coming?”

“Oh… not many,” he used the fingers in his free hand to count, “about sixty.”

“What! Byun Baekhyun so help me god, I will kill you if that many people show up. Chanyeol will have to dig up your remains day and night out of my backyard. I will bury one leg here, your left arm by the pool and don’t even get me started on what I will do with each one of your balls! I’ll-”

“Chill, old timer” Sehun said and Luhan blushed.

“Ok fine, it will just be us and a couple of other people,” he said steadying the box in his hands “don’t worry! No one you don’t know! Anyways, gotta go, Chanyeol is waiting for me! Thanks babe, love you babe. You’re the best babe. No one is better than you!” he said smiling from ear to ear.

“Oh, and have fun” He winked handing Sehun two beer bottles and walking away to Chanyeol’s car.

“He is impossible.” Sehun said.

“Tell me about it.” Luhan agreed.

They walked over to the beach where they found a small grassy hill and laid back opening their bottles and as the first firework made its way across the sky.

Luhan smiled and said, “You know, there’s no one else in the world I’d rather be here with.”

Sehun smiled genuinely as he flicked his middle finger on Luhan’s forehead, the latter howled “Ouch!” and stuck his tongue out at the younger as he rubbed the patch of burning skin, “Meanie.”

Friday morning came and Sehun was in bliss. He could get used to this; snuggled up in the warm comforter with his favorite hyung, Luhan’s arm snug around his waist. Sehun realized he had better control over his lust and desire for Luhan. Somehow, something deeper within him enjoyed the cuddling and snuggling over what his body urged him to do.

He loved smelling Luhan’s hair in the morning, he loved watching him sleep and he already knew how many eyelashes gently lay on his eyes. He knew that Luhan slept with his mouth open and sometimes he’d drool. It really was endearing to watch his hyung sleep. Even when he wasn’t trying, he was beautiful.

He wrapped his arm around Luhan as he snuggled closer and looked at their matching wristbands. He really enjoyed himself so much yesterday and he’s thankful he changed his mind about his motives.

Who the hell cares about what happened in the past anyways? I’m here now and he’s here and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Sure it was painful, but I would go through all that pain again if at the end of the day I found myself waking up next to him and his being the first smile I see all day.

He knew deep down his feelings had been stirred once again. He knew he shouldn’t be, but he was falling all over again. If he were honest with himself he would realize he never fell out of love, he was merely suppressing his emotions, a deep slumber of feelings waiting to be said, waiting to be put in motion.

He didn’t know if Luhan felt the same. He had been the same loving person he always was, always attentive, always caring. He knew that he affected him physically because he had seen it many times. All he had wanted was for Luhan to see him as more than a little brother, for Luhan to lust after him, to want him in more ways than one. However, he knew that Luhan already did.

He was no fool, except now that Sehun had realized that his feeling for Luhan ran deep and were as strong as ever he wanted more out of him. He wanted Luhan to feel the same way, not just physically but emotionally as well and he didn’t know whether the older did, and that was breaking him little by little.

“How are you boys getting along?” Luhan’s mom asked through the speakerphone.

“Luhan hyung hugs all the blankets to himself auntie! He’s really selfish and he could care less if I freeze to death at night!” Sehun said as he smiled at Luhan.

“Why you little- that’s not true auntie!” Luhan yelled back.

“Oh Luhannie dear, don’t you worry about a thing! If he freezes to death at least you can use his body to keep cool during the day” Sehun’s mom cut in.

“Really mom?” Sehun could not believe his own mother’s words..

They caught up with them and they were informed that they would be making their return on Sunday. Oh Joy! Sehun had tried his best to sound excited but he was not looking forward to spending an entire summer with his mom. Luhan or no Luhan. He needed to think of a way out of this.

“Hyung can we please run away?” He asked Luhan after they hung up the phone.

“Sehunnie, it won’t be that bad I promise. But if they are, then yes, we will totally run away.”

"Lets go to Greece ok! i know how to say chicken, so we definitely will not starve! Plus i've always wanted to go there, it's so beautiful!" Sehun smiled that beautiful smile that Luhan loved so much, his little eyes turning into little crescents.

Luna, Luhan smiled at the thought of the moon, but was then reminded about the coffee shop. Shit! I have to check in with Yixing! I haven’t at all since I left! He dialed Yixing’s phone number and after what seemed like hours on the phone, they hung up. Everything was in order, Minseok was healthy again and all the regulars at the shop were asking about Luhan.

Yixing also told him Junni had stopped by looking for him and greatly apologized for telling her he had gone back home for the summer.

“The good news is she hasn’t come back since then!” Yixing had said. Well good riddance. Luhan was glad that his friend was doing a great job without him. He felt at ease knowing he could trust him and he wouldn’t returned to a half burned down coffee shop.

They decided to go buy food and snacks for the impromptu party he was hosting later. They decided to take Sehun’s Mercedes and Luhan could not resist the urge to jump him. Sehun looked incredibly sexy driving. His little dongsaeng was a full-grown man now and Luhan couldn’t see him as anything but.

He bit his lip the whole ride to the supermarket trying his best to keep his thoughts to himself. The way Sehun maneuvered himself through the roads was really impressive, the way he had control of the car at all times. He even paralleled parked like a pro. He stared at Sehun’s hand holding the steering wheel and Luhan realized Sehun was still wearing the wristband.

Maybe he did mean everything he said to me yesterday. Perhaps not all of it was said to distract me.

They picked out a couple of items to stock their fridge back home as well as chips and soda and a lot of other random snacks Luhan deemed “snack and party worthy”. They had also remembered to buy fish food for their little Ponyo and a small little aquarium to prolong her life. They carried on as Sehun kept putting in way too many unhealthy things in the cart and Luhan kept putting them back on the shelves.

“Hyung pleaseeee at least let me have these!” He lifted a box of assorted chocolates as he jutted his lip out, pouting and batting his eyelashes like a cute little baby. Now how was Luhan supposed to resist that? They drove back home and began to set things up.

Luhan noticed that after Sehun took a shower, not only did he smell like his sweet scented wash but that he was also still wearing the wristband. He had showered before Sehun and he had taken his off because once it got wet it had started to feel uncomfortable.

He walked closer to Sehun and standing in front of him, looked up at him, grabbed his hand, thumb running over the band over his wrist as he leaned into his ear and said “doesn’t this bother you? “ he pulled back and stared Sehun in the eyes as he replied with a simple “Not one bit.”

His answer was straightforward, his eyes unwavering and Luhan found himself saying “do you like using my body wash?”

“I do.”

“Why’s that?”

“Because it reminds me of you.”

“You like the way I smell?”

“I like a lot of things about you.”

“Like what?”

“Like how you drool at night and snore so loud.”

“I do not! Stop lying!”

Luhan was now chasing him around the kitchen counter and when he finally caught him he tickled Sehun until he took those lies back.

It was around 8:30 p.m. when Baekhyun arrived with Chanyeol and Kyungsoo. Sehun opened the door and the first thing kyungsoo said was “You weren’t kidding! First Luhan and now him? The universe is cruel.”

“Told you so.” Baekhyun replied.

“Uhm, hello again.” Sehun said opening the door and motioning for them to come in.

“Hi guys!” Luhan ran into the living room as he helped them carry in a box of decorations. “Baek, why the decorations? I am not helping you clean up I hope you know that.”

“Luhan, you lazy asshole I know that! I just thought the place could look a bit more festive ok!”

They hung up a ‘welcome home for summer’ banner which Luhan thought was extremely cheesy. He thought Baekhyun’s excuse of it being a welcome home party was just that, an excuse to get wasted but apparently not. Apparently it was a legitimate party. His heart warmed at his friend’s thoughtfulness.

“And you’re sure the entire population of the town will not be showing up right?”

“Yes I told you, don’t worry. It's just us and like eight other people coming.”

The night went on and as Baekhyun and Luhan’s other friends started showing up, everyone began to loosen up.

Sehun first took notice of Baekhyuns intentions when he had asked him in front of everyone if he was currently dating as he looked at Luhan while waiting for a reply.

“I’m not.” He said as he looked over at Luhan who had a small smile displayed across his lips, which Sehun adored, and Baekhyun smirked satisfyingly.

The second time he took notice, they had all been drinking while the music blasted through the speakers and Baekhyun dragged Luhan to the living room to dance. It was some sort of house beat and they were dancing and jumping. Luhan looked so happy, Sehun could not find it within himself to look away.

He was so mesmerized by his stupid beautiful hyung who was still able to captivate his heart as well as take his breath away. He looked beautiful and he danced like no one was watching. A free spirit made to shine and bring light to a darkened world.

Kyungsoo had then asked Sehun to dance and Sehun only accepted so that he could get closer to Luhan. Apparently he wasn’t the only one with the same thought. As they walked over to the living room, someone dimmed the lights and everyone else had all gathered in the middle to dance.

Baekhyun pulled Luhan over to where Sehun and Kyungsoo were and slowly but surely, ended up trading partners. One minute Luhan was dancing with Baekhyun, the next he was dancing with Sehun.

Sehun eyed him as he bit his lip and Luhan could feel himself getting turned on at the hungry look in Sehun’s eyes. He would have loved to imagine what Sehun was thinking right then and there.

He inched closer to Sehun and wrapped his arms around his neck as Sehun enveloped him in his arms. Luhan swayed back and forth, grazing Sehun’s body every so often. Sehun pulled him closer feeling his body against his without breaking eye contact.

“I like the way you dance.” Sehun said. “You look so beautiful,” at this, Luhan blushed.

“I like the way your fingers feel around my neck.”

Luhan tightened the hold around Sehun. He was a little light headed, he and Sehun had not drank much but just enough to feel a small buzz.

“What else do you like?” He questioned him, grinding slowly onto him.

Sehun pulled him in all the way and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “ I like the way those jeans you’re wearing hug your body so tight.”

Luhan inhaled as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back. While the rest of the room was dancing and jumping, Sehun and Luhan were the only ones slow dancing to a fast paced song.

“I like how I get to sleep next to you every night…” He whispered into his ear as he pulled at his earlobe. At this point Sehun had decided to just go with the flow. If he ended up saying something he wasn’t supposed to then at least he can hold his head up high and say he didn’t cower away.

The only upside to what was going on right now besides the fact that he was slowly revealing his desires for Luhan, was the fact that the latter had yet to push him away. In fact he thought he heard a little moan escape Luhan’s mouth.

“I like how I get to feel your body so close to mine…”

“Mmmm… Sehunnah, please- please tell me more…” Luhan was conscious of what Sehun was saying. He could also feel Sehun’s length poking his thigh and he just couldn’t believe that this was happening. He needed confirmation that Sehun wanted him in so many ways, and here he was getting it. He just wanted more of it.

“I cant wait to get upstairs so that I can rip those jeans off of you and-“

The music was cut off and the lights were turned back on. They had then realized that everyone else was still in the room. Their cheeks were red and they looked flustered. Luckily everyone else was in their own little world and probably too drunk to notice them anyways. They pulled apart and Sehun walked over to the kitchen to cool down as Luhan sat on the couch and tried to steady his breathing.

Around 11:00pm Baekhyun had the marvelous idea of playing spin the bottle. Ignoring all of Luhan’s protests that they were already adults and “what the hell Baekhyun! This isn’t 7th grade and you have a damn boyfriend!” But Baekhyun could care less.

He was a man on a mission and no one, not even one of his targets would stop him. He planned with the help of Kyungsoo to rig the game so that whenever Sehun or Luhan spun that bottle it would land on the other. Only an idiot wouldn’t be able to see how badly they wanted each other, and Baekhyun knew that Luhan was too much of a chicken to actually make any move on his precious dongsaeng, so he decided to take it upon himself and do the work for him.

When it came to Sehun’s turn to spin the bottle, Kyungsoo stood up and walked over to the side as Baekhyun shouted “Everyone look! Kyungsoo is naked!”

Everyone immediately turned their heads to where kyungsoo was doing some sort of weird, robotic, awkward dance, if you can even call it that.

God!! Soo, you are so weird man! We talked about this! Where is your damn flow? Baekhyun mentally cursed, but nonetheless he was distracting everyone while Baekhyun stopped Sehun’s bottle from spinning and pointed it straight at Luhan.

“Ah you guys are all perverts!” He laughed and shouted and they all settled back into their positions, a wide-eyed Luhan staring at a bottle that pointed straight at him.

Baekhyun and Kyungsoo winked at each other and Sehun had a very difficult time trying to hide his smile. Luhan’s cheeks were tinted a rosy pink as he got up on his knees and Sehun did the same. “Well come on! We don’t have all night!” Baekhyun complained anxiously.

Would this be their first kiss? Luhan was taken back to the beginning of the week when he sort of took advantage of a sleeping Sehun. Although he felt guilty about it, he was excited to feel Sehun’s lips again.

On the other hand Sehun didn’t want their first kiss to be right here, in front of everyone watching, the cause of a rigged spin the bottle game, because Sehun was no fool and he had side glanced over at Baekhyun while an awkward Kyungsoo tried his best to distract everyone, making a mental note that he needed to introduce him to Jongin ASAP, when he saw his friend deliberately stop the bottle, not that he wasn’t thankful, he was, but this wasn’t how Sehun pictured his first kiss with his first love to be.

So, he carefully leaned over to the boy of his dreams and as he got closer to his face, he grabbed his cheeks, Luhan closing his eyes; he leaned in and placed a soft sweet kiss on top of Luhan’s forehead.

The latter opened his eyes and looked at Sehun who was smiling at him. He was a bit disappointed but nonetheless smiled at the sweet, affectionate kiss. Baekhyun mumbled something about wasting an opportunity or something or other.

It didn’t take long for his turn at spin the bottle and the universe was a troll for his bottle stopped right in front of Kyungsoo and they both yelled out “OH- HELL-TO- THE- NO!” and Baekhyun proceeded to pull his boyfriend over and make out with him instead.

The doorbell rang in between Luhan laughing and Baekhyun still exchanging spit with his boyfriend. “I’ll get it” Sehun said as he stood up and walked over to the door.

“Baek are we expecting anyone else?” It was already almost midnight and Baekhyun momentarily pulled away from Chanyeol to say “No.” then went right back to their make out session.

“Gross! Get a room!” Kyungsoo and Luhan both said in unison.

While the others were trying their best not to hurl at the excessive display of public affection, courtesy of Byun Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol, Sehun opened the door to find a strange girl. She was of Medium height, long dark hair, fair skin, with a suitcase behind her.

“Hi, can I help you? Are you lost?” Sehun asked as he eyed the strange girl.

“I’m looking for Luhan. Does he live here?” She said with an arrogant tone and Sehun knew right away he wouldn’t like her.

“And you are?” He questioned her, crossing his arms over his chest.

“I’m his girlfriend.”
