Summary: Hyukjae makes a tiny mistake but it's not that particularly tiny in Donghae's view.
“So I finally told them today,” Hyukjae grinned, “and they seemed totally cool about it. They told me that wanted to meet you.”
“I told you so,” Donghae chirped happily, snuggling deeper into the other’s side, Hyukjae’s arm snaking around his waist. “You were worried for nothing.”
“I’ll bring you up to my office sometime and we can all, you know, get to know each other.”
“About time,” Donghae huffed. “We’ve been together for more than a month and you know all my friends and I’ve never even met yours.”
Hyukjae smiled apologetically as he pushed through the door of a coffee shop, letting his boyfriend enter first.
“Do you want anything,” he asked as the two of them stood in line, peering at the menu.
“Um a chai tea latte I guess.”
Hyukjae wrinkled his nose and Donghae stuck out his tongue in return. Hyukjae had always disliked Donghae ordering that drink. “How can anyone like the taste of this?” he’d gagged after being forced to take a sip.
Thanking the worker for their drinks, they were about to leave when Hyukjae suddenly stopped.
“Hey, that’s someone I know, it’s my cousin,” he exclaimed incredulously and approached a tall man with glasses. “Kyuhyun, so great to see you here.”
The man looked up and he broke into a surprised smile. “Oh, Hyukjae, wow, this was really unexpected. Who’s this?” he held out his hand towards Donghae, who seemed excited to be meeting one of Hyukjae’s family.
“Oh, this is…. my friend, Donghae.” The words came out of his mouth faster than he expected and he cringed inside, knowing he’d made a mistake. A horrible mistake.
“Hi, nice to meet you, Kyuhyun was it?” Donghae shook his hand, a huge smile on his face, although Hyukjae could see the stiffness in the smile and the letdown in his eyes. “I’m going to wait outside okay? You guys have fun chatting.” He patted Hyukjae’s arm, gave him a meaningful stare along with the unwavering smile and slightly bowed at Kyuhyun before exiting the shop.
“Well, that was awkward.” Kyuhyun stated, Hyukjae still staring after Donghae. “What are you still doing here, go after him.”
Feeling grateful towards Kyuhyun, Hyukjae immediately left his cousin and ran out the door. Donghae had his back turned and was facing the busy road. Hyukjae stopped at the sight.
“Donghae…. I’m sorry.”
The other didn’t respond.
“I wasn’t thinking, maybe I just wasn’t ready yet.”
“You mean not ready to tell your family that you’re gay and that I’m your boyfriend you’ve been dating for a month already.” His voice cracked at the end.
“Donghae…. You know I’ve been trying………..”
“Then try harder.” The words stung at him.
“I am! It was hard enough for me to finally admit my sexuality and I’m still trying hard to have confidence in who I am-“ Donghae turned around, eyes misty.
“Oh, so it’s about who’s been out of the closet earlier and you’re just going to neglect my feelings in this relationship-“
“I haven’t! See, I’ve told my friends at work about us-“
“It’s not about people knowing about us it’s about you being not ashamed at how others feel about us-“
“It was kind of sudden and I panicked alright?! I’ve been thinking the past few days without sleep how I should break it to my family and it’s stressing you know, and my mind just blanked and-“ Donghae grabbed his arms in mid-flail and kissed him, a little forcefully, noses pressed side by side in haste, and all he could do was squeak in surprise.
Their lips parted and Donghae painfully spoke, “I just-I’ve been so happy the past month with you and I don’t just want to be your boyfriend, I want to be your everything, someone you can rely on, someone you can be proud of, someone you don’t regret having and when you said I was your friend everything I was hoping for disappeared in front of my eyes and-“
“I love you.”
“I-what?”
“I said I love you, I’m sorry for what I did, and I want you to know, no I want to remind you again that I love you and am so lucky to have you and could never have anything better in my life-“
Donghae kissed him again, and this time around Hyukjae felt a tiny smile against his lips and he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend.
“I’m sorry,” Donghae mumbled.
“Me too.”
They stood there, feeling each other’s warmth before Donghae suddenly asked, “where are our drinks?”
“Oh, right, speaking of drinks, can I beg you not to order that again because I can’t properly kiss you when I can taste that disgusting flavor in my mouth.”
“Shut up, even if I drank it everyday you’d still kiss me.”
“Don’t be so full of yourself.”
Donghae let out a scoff and peered through the windows of the coffee shop, expression changing into panic. “Oh my god, did Kyuhyun see all that?”
“Does it matter?”
Donghae blushed. “Yes it does, becau-“
This time Hyukjae kissed him first and as he hugged his wriggling boyfriend tighter he decided that he wouldn’t mind if the whole world saw them, let alone Kyuhyun.
