Title: Untitled
Pairing: Eli/Kevin
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Kevin makes Eli tingle tingle, so he does something about it.
A/N: Just whipped this out quickly, so I'm not bothering with a title or a serious summary. It's a little over 1k words and just a cutesy Elvin oneshot to get my fellow shippers through the day.
When he first starts feeling it-that weird tingly feeling in his limbs and that flip-flopping in his stomach-Eli chalks it up to indigestion (or nerves, or a cold or something, anything other than what he thinks it is). During rehearsal he keeps looking at Kevin, his chest tightening at watching the boy smile and sing; and he quickly has to duck out before he does anything stupid, complaining of stomach pains and sitting himself on a speaker.
The feeling wasn't unfamiliar to Eli, he'd felt it many times before. But never before had it been in such a public place, at such an inconvenient time. When the other members finish running through Bingeul Bingeul, Soohyun comes over to him to check how he's doing.
"What's wrong?" Soohyun asks, giving Eli his perfect fatherly look of concern. Soohyun has an uncanny way of calming Eli down, and he thinks that probably applies to the other members too, and he's glad it's not overbearing Alexander who's asking him.
"Just… feel weird. Kind of sick. I'll be okay for the show, I just wanna rest for a bit." Eli replies, waving Soohyun away. "Go, go. Practice. You need it."
Eli smirks at him and Soohyun looks suitably offended, walking away and calling out, "I heard there's a new bird flu going around, you should get yourself checked out!"
Eli gives him a middle finger to his back, then continues his previous activity of staring at the other members. Well, that was a lie. He was staring at Kevin, and only Kevin. This wasn't a new thing in and of itself but for some reason it seems all the more intense today. Eli continues staring when Kevin looks over and, noticing his gaze, smiles and waves and blows a kiss. Eli mimes grabbing the kiss out of the air, and brings it to his chest. Kevin giggles and Kibum gags from behind him.
The staring, the tingly feelings and, of course, the public displays of affection were something that Eli and Kevin always had between them, but only recently had they shared them with each other. (Kevin was dreaming for a beautiful confession scene worthy of a drama, but instead he got Eli shoving him against a wall outside of the Pops in Seoul studio, saying "I like you, damnit." and then kissing the life out of him. Not exactly what Kevin wanted, but he couldn't complain.) The other members were generally supportive, only the occasional complaint of "You guys disgust me. Honestly, you're sickening." and "Not on the couch! Other people sit there too, y'know!".
Every time Eli started feeling like this-that is, weird and tingly-he'd normally just go spend some couple time with Kevin and it would be resolved. But they are at a rehearsal for their concert tomorrow and this was not the time. Eli fidgets atop of the speaker, watching his members run through the last few songs before finally, finally, they're done.
When they start walking off stage, Eli jumps off the speaker and rushes ahead of them to the dressing room where they dropped off their stuff. Eli grabs his bag and coat and stands at the door, bouncing on the balls of his feet as he waits for the others.
"You recovered fast," Alexander remarks, Eli's bouncing immediately stopping at his words.
"Well, um, I just want to get home. Eat and sleep, y'know. Rest up so I can feel better." Eli explains and he notices Kevin look at him oddly.
As the members file out the door, Kevin lags behind and tries to let Eli out before him. Eli smiles and splays his hand on Kevin's lower back, pushing him out the door and following behind. Eli guides him like this until they reach the other members and they separate, Eli's hand sliding slightly lower along Kevin's back before brushing his wrist and then stepping away from him completely. Kevin glances at him inquisitively but follows after the other members as they head out to their van.
When they reach the van, Eli shouts, "I call back row!" Dongho looks at him weirdly, since nobody ever wants the back row anyways, but Eli pushes ahead of them all to get to the car door. As he puts his foot in the car he says, "Kevin, c'mon!"
Kevin jumps slightly but follows behind Eli obediently, getting in next to him. When Kiseop tries to get in and sit in the last seat of the back row, Eli stops him and puts on his best sad face.
"Kiseoppie-hyung, can I lay out on the back row? You can squish in the other row or sit on someone?" Eli pouts a little more, taking advantage of Kiseop's undeniable nice streak. Kiseop easily acquiesces, albeit with a lot of pushing and shoving of Alexander, Dongho and Kibum. Soohyun takes his usual place in the passenger seat and before they know it, they're on their way.
Eli waits a few minutes, carefully watching the other members. Once he's sure that everyone is busy with their phones or ipods or other such gadgets, he puts his plan into action. Eli turns to sit sideways on the seat and starts manhandling Kevin until he sits on top of him.
"What are you-" Kevin begins but Eli quickly puts his hand over his mouth to silence him. Eli points to the other members, makes a "Shh" sign on his lips, then flicks his finger rapidly between the two of them. Kevin miraculously manages to understand him, and adjusts himself to sit more comfortably on Eli, his knees going on either side of Eli's hips and Eli's arms wrapping around his waist.
Eli watches impatiently and as soon as Kevin looks comfortable, he pulls his head down and kisses him. As soon as their lips touch, Eli thinks finally and he smiles before opening his mouth to Kevin's tongue. He chuckles at Kevin's enthusiasm, glad he wasn't the only one feeling weird at rehearsal.
The couple makes out for what has to be five minutes without incident until a police car whizzes past their van, sirens blaring and everyone turns to look out the window as the couple break apart. It seems that at the exact same time they all notice Eli and Kevin out of the corner of their eyes, no longer kissing but still in a very suggestive position, and suddenly there's a flurry of movement and voices.
"Oh gross, do you have to do that with everyone around?" Alexander exclaims, covering his eyes with one hand and using his other hand to block Dongho's.
"So by 'sick' you meant horny then," Kibum states monotonously at the same time as Soohyun yells from the front of the van, "You fucker! I was actually worried about you!"
Kiseop just pouts at him and Eli feels guilty for lying, at least for a few seconds, before he realizes that he's behind them all and nobody can hit him or pull them apart. So he does what any logical man would do in this situation and resumes making out with Kevin. Except this time he makes a show of it, tangling their tongues obscenely halfway outside their mouths and sucking loudly at Kevin's neck. Kevin blushes bright red but, because of his small exhibitionist streak that only Eli knows about, doesn't seem too bothered by everybody watching them.
"Stop! Stop! You naughty children!" Alexander yells in English, waving his arms around before switching to Chinese to say, "The things I have to deal with…"
Soohyun calls out, "Use a condom!" causing Kibum to choke on his spit and Kiseop to start laughing loudly.
Dongho finally has enough and yells, louder than everyone else in the van, "Yah! Shut up! Just ignore them and let me play my game!"
It goes quiet for a moment, except for the small wet sounds and Kevin's whimpers from the back row, before Alexander starts rapping his part in Shut Up, loudly and with a weird accent, and everyone's attention moves away from the couple and focuses on him.
Kevin finally breaks them apart and rests their foreheads together, smiling down at Eli gently. He reaches behind him where Eli's arms are locked around his waist and pulls one of his arms away. Eli looks confused for a second before Kevin links their fingers together and pecks him on the nose.
"Love you, love you, love you," Kevin sings softly, settling himself more comfortably on Eli's chest instead of holding himself above him like he was before.
Eli smiles, one of his big cheesy smiles, and simply says, "Me too."
