[FIC] Dream
It’s easy to pretend to sleep, or maybe really try and will yourself to sleep, to dream. Yoochun can’t decide if he’s keener on the former or latter. Either way it doesn’t matter. He simply attempts to block out the thud when Jaejoong rolls himself out of bed onto the floor, as usual, and then the even more audible swearing and yawning that follows.
“Morning soulmate! What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make anything you want today!” This is new.
For a fleeting moment, Yoochun considers if this will help him forget or make up for all the torment in his heart. Perhaps he’ll just play along and fake a smile that matches Jaejoong’s. Jaejoong seems almost unnaturally cheery today. A sweet dream, maybe?
Instead he says softly, “Sleep well?” An innocent and carefully-vague question but his tone is resolute. Searching for a hint, a sign, anything.
A pause.
“Had a silly dream, actually,” Jaejoong says hesitantly, turning so his back faces Yoochun.
Yoochun chokes and coughs despite himself. Jaejoong continues, breaking into rumbling laughter, “So silly and stupid anyway.”
This denial thing is something Jaejoong is better at, Yoochun thinks sullenly. Why? Shutting his eyes to will Dream-Jaejoong to life, he replies, “Strange, me too.”
TBC. Thank you for reading :D
