Summary: Lu Han wants Sehun to stop growing.

Sehun woke up to a familiar and comfortable warmth by his side and, instead of getting up like he knew he was supposed to, he snuggled closer to the source of warmth, a lazy smile stretching across his face.

“Just because it’s your birthday doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to sleep in, maknae. Get up.”

Sehun wrinkled his nose in response, choosing to tighten his hold on the older man rather than heed his words. No matter how strict Lu Han tried to be towards him, he knew he couldn’t hold his resolve; Lu Han really did have a soft spot for the youngest of EXO, after all. He smiled when Lu Han let out a little laugh, knowing that he had already won him over.

“A little longer, hyung? It’s my birthday after all.”

Lu Han tweaked his nose with a small smile. “Sorry maknae. Not today. I was actually supposed to wake you up ten minutes ago but I figured I would let you sleep a little longer.”

Sehun sighed, disentangling himself from Lu Han as he shook the strands of pink covering his eyes and stifled a yawn. “Why do you keep calling me maknae today? It’s my birthday; I’m finally an adult!”

The other laughed, reaching out to pat the loose hairs of Sehun’s fringe down; Sehun leant into the touch. “Sorry Ohdult; even if you’re no longer Ohmija, you’re still our maknae - our maknae who can’t get up on his own.” The grin on his face grew wider when Sehun pouted at him.

“Fine, I’m getting up.” He clambered out of bed clumsily and stretched his arms above his head to relieve the tension in his muscles. When he looked back at Lu Han, he found that the similarly pink-haired man (it had been Sehun’s idea to get similar hair colours again and, despite all his protests, Lu Han ended up listening anyway) was eyeing him thoughtfully. “What is it? Do I have something on my face?” He patted his cheeks quickly and stopped when Lu Han shook his head.

“No… I was just wondering when you got so big. You aren’t the puny little brat that I met way back then anymore. Well, you still kind of act like a little kid, so I guess that really hasn’t changed much.” He chuckled when Sehun puffed his cheeks at him unhappily.

“You haven’t really changed much since I met you except that I’m taller than you now. But I guess it’s mostly because I’ve grown a bit recently. I wish I stopped growing though. My joints keep hurting in the morning.”

“You brat.” Lu Han gave him a mock glare and poked him in the stomach. “Flaunting your height at me. Stupid tall people problems.”
Evading the next barrage of pokes, Sehun chuckled before landing a peck on Lu Han’s cheek and making the older man turn a shade that matched his new hair colour. “But you love this tall brat.”

Instead of answering, Lu Han shoved him in the direction of the bathroom to get ready for practice.

“Does our height difference bother you that much that you had to tell me to stop growing, hyung?”

They had just returned from Sehun’s birthday party and were getting ready for bed; Kyungsoo had claimed the bathroom first so Lu Han and Sehun were alone in their bedroom. Sehun was propped against the headboard of his bed as Lu Han dug through the drawers in search of a change of clothes.

There were many advantages to sharing the same room as Sehun but not being able to hide when faced with questions like this was definitely not one of them.

Lu Han flushed. “A little. I’m the hyung; I should be taller.”

Sehun smiled, getting off his bed and walking towards Lu Han who seemed a little taken aback at the action and tried to move away until Sehun pulled him back with a tug on his arm. “Are you that bothered by it that you won’t even stand near me?” Lu Han shook his head immediately when the younger man frowned at the thought. “Then stop trying to move away. Our heights don’t change the fact that you’re my hyung - my favourite hyung.” The flush on Lu Han’s cheeks deepened at the implication of his words.

“I guess…” Lu Han looked away, growing more and more embarrassed as time passed. “I don’t really feel like I’m your hyung because I can’t really protect you since I’m smaller and…” He sighed, looking up at Sehun with a sad smile. “When did you grow up so much?”

“Hyung…” Sehun began, taking Lu Han’s hand in his. “No matter how old I become, I’ll still need you. Nothing about that would ever change.”

Lu Han smiled at him, reaching up to cup Sehun’s face. “But you know… I still think you should stop growing.”

Puzzled, Sehun raised an eyebrow. “How come?”

“Because I don’t want to tiptoe just to kiss you.”

Sehun laughed. “I can fix that.”

AN: This happened because of CJ and Sehun's birthday party. Belated happy birthday, maknae!
