Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Title: Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Pairing: Hanchul
Word count: 361
Summary: “Why did you come back to me?” That was all Hankyung wanted to know.
A/N: Inspired by 2 lines of Ashley Tisdale's 'Last Christmas'. This is supposed to be set after a fic that I'm almost done with, but this idea came and I just had to drabble it before it flew out of my head. And that world has lots of stars, so yeah. So I suppose we can consider this a prequel? Or like, a sneak preview? Abrupt ending, I'm sorry. But I like this one, so I hope you’ll like it too. Anyway, HAPPY ENDING. Hooray.
Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distant but you still catch my eye.
No, Heechul told himself, no.
But Heechul still found himself snuggled tightly in Hankyung's embrace. It kept him warm, if that was enough of a valid excuse for Heechul, in the otherwise cold night.
"You know," Hankyung said, pointing to one of the star among million others. Heechul hummed in response. "I think of you whenever I see your star."
Me too, Heechul wanted to say but didn't. Instead, he just smiled. Hankyung pulled him closer.
"Can I ask you something?" Hankyung asked.
"Yes?" Heechul replied, still admiring the stars. Heechul had never had any strong fascination with stars, but this. This was just gorgeous.
"Why did you come back to me? I know I hurt you once and I'm sorry, but why? Why did you forgive me so easily?" When Hankyung finished his questions, he looked up and stared at Heechul. His eyes were wet.
Heechul looked a little surprise by the number of questions posed to him in such a short period of time. He sighed, "I haven't, Hankyung. I haven't found the courage to forgive you yet. I'm scared because, yes, when you left me the last time, it did hurt, a lot. And I didn't want to forgive you because I'm afraid that I'll get hurt again. But Hankyung, I miss waking up every morning to see you by my side. I miss watching you dance, trying and trying until you perfected those steps. I miss how you would grab and hug me whenever you managed to finish the choreography. I miss telling you everything while getting drunk. I miss how you would tuck me into bed at night and then, kiss me. I miss you, Hankyung." He paused and took in a deep breath, "I miss us."
There were so many things in Hankyung head, so many things that he wanted to tell Heechul. But he kept quiet, and pressed his lips against Heechul's because he understood what it was like to live without someone you love. He knew what it was like to know that you can't survive without someone.
