the rumor mill
Super Junior, Kibum/Donghae, PG, 1160 words
Three's a crowd. Not that Kibum's jealous or anything.

"There's a rumor going around about you, Kibum," Zhou Mi told him earnestly.
Kibum didn't look up from his book. "I know. Heechul started it."
"It's about you and Donghae!"
"I know," Kibum repeated. But he made a note of where he was in his book and lifted his head. Zhou Mi was grinning at him expectantly, as if he had a big secret he was spilling over with need to share. "You know Donghae?"
That threw Zhou Mi off momentarily. "Yeah. He's in my vocal training classes. And he's down in Sutton Hall practicing dance all the time, when Sungmin's not dragging him off to some rehearsal or other."
So Donghae really was a performing arts major. Kibum tched in his throat and bent over his book again, pen tapping lightly against the pages.
"Don't you want to know the rumor?"
Kibum could practically hear the pout in Zhou Mi's voice. He ignored him and made a note in the margin.
"Hey," said Zhou Mi and then followed it with a very indignant, "Ow. Kyuhyun!"
"Some of us actually need to study," Kyuhyun told him with a pointed look at the book and laptop he had spread out on the table before him. "Now you're going to sit here quietly and read your novel and let us study our 'geeky computer languages' in peace, okay? Or I will hit you again, don't think I won't."
"Kyuhyun is such a jerk," Zhou Mi sighed mournfully.
Kibum wondered sometimes why he bothered to try studying over at Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi's. He would get twice as much done in the library, even if it wasn't conveniently stocked with drinks and Zhou Mi's homemade snacks. Heechul had been right: there really was no way Kibum could've ever lived with Kyuhyun. Not when it entailed Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi.
His phone buzzed against the table. He picked it up and read the new text message.
so heechuls tellin every1 we had a 3some on friday
"What," Kibum exclaimed, unable to help himself. With who? He turned to Zhou Mi, incredulous. "Heechul's been telling everyone Donghae and I had a threesome?"
Kyuhyun was very promptly distracted from his book. "With who?"
Zhou Mi smiled smugly at them, crossing his arms. "I'm not sure I should tell you," he sang, but he wilted quickly in the face of two dark glares. His shoulders slumped and he pursed his lips at them. "You two are such spoilsports. I was trying to tell you earlier anyway!"
"With who?" Kyuhyun repeated.
"Jessica~" Zhou Mi reported cheerfully.
Kibum's mouth fell open slightly. "Jessica Jung?"
"Who the hell is that?"
Kibum looked at Kyuhyun. "The one we had lunch with. Shoulder-length hair, dressed less like a slut?" Kyuhyun made a face of recollection, eyes widening. "Tri-Sig," Kibum added, remembering her shirt.
Zhou Mi grinned at him, chin in his hands and eyelashes fluttering. "Try Sig. Everyone else has."
"I'm going to kill Heechul," Kibum said flatly and pushed his chair back to stand up. He shared a look with Kyuhyun. "I'll leave Zhou Mi to you." He stalked off, phone in hand, annoyed. He and his roommate were going to have some words.
***
Lunch had been as awkward as Kibum had predicted. The two-person meeting Kibum and Kyuhyun had arranged had suddenly turned into a six-person event with something close to a cultural barrier. Han Geng was apparently a member of Lambda Phi Epsilon and spent a lot of time talking to Jessica and Yuri about their new pledges ("They're so stupid," he complained with a roll of his eyes. "Even I wasn't that bad when I pledged and I had just come from China!") and the girls' upcoming sorority convention. Kibum and Kyuhyun exchanged blank looks because it frankly was all Greek to them and could they care any less? It was hard to say.
Donghae contributed a few remarks about the Lambdas' pledging process, joked with Yuri about some stupid drunken thing she'd apparently done at the party last night (no way it could live up to his stupid drunken thing, Kibum thought darkly), and spent most of his time flirting blatantly with Jessica.
Kibum spent most of his time growing increasingly irritated. Why the hell had Donghae even wanted to meet up for lunch if he was going to spent all his time chatting up his friends? He could've done so perfectly well without Kibum's presence, and Kibum really had a million better things he could be doing. Hell, he could be sitting in his room staring at a wall and it wouldn't be nearly such a waste of time.
"You look jealous," Kyuhyun commented under his breath, something like a smirk tilting his lips up.
"So tell me more about your feelings for Zhou Mi," Kibum replied casually, jabbing his fork through a piece of broccoli. "Does he know yet how desperately you fantasize about him?"
Kyuhyun kicked him but shut up.
Kibum resumed glaring at Donghae, who was now tugging at Jessica's hair, laughing and forming pigtails for her. "C'mon, you'd look so cute like this," he insisted.
She giggled, Kibum rolled his eyes, and Kyuhyun coughed into his drink.
Donghae glanced over at bit his lip. "Hey Kibum," he said suddenly, and he had shifted away from Jessica and to Kibum's side. He did this a lot, Kibum noticed. Apparently he had no concept of personal space. Especially, Kibum thought uncharitably, when it came to Jessica.
Not that he cared. Last night had been a drunken mistake anyway.
"Hey Kibum," Donghae said, lips practically tickling Kibum's ear. "I'm going to be in a play next week. You should come."
Kibum blinked and Jessica's laugh rang out. She grinned at them, eyes twinkling. "Did Donghae ever mention how he's never the lead but how all the girls are in love with him anyway? Drama girls," she sighed dramatically. "I guess they just have no taste."
"Hey!" protested Donghae, and dropped a hand on Kibum's thigh even as he turned his attention back to her.
Kibum said nothing, but frowned at it. He spent the rest of lunch confused and annoyed.
***
Heechul didn't pick up his phone. Kibum swore and sent an angry text instead.
Two minutes later:
lol you'll thank me one day snow white. besides, jessica's hot.
Kibum didn't bother with a reply. Sometimes there was just no talking to Heechul.
He snorted. Jessica, hot. Well, Donghae certainly seemed to think so. They should just get together, the perfect match: sunny, gorgeous frat boy with a body to kill for and pretty little sorority girl.
Kibum returned to the kitchen table where Kyuhyun was studying, Zhou Mi conspicuously banned to reading on the couch. He stared blankly at his textbook, retaining nothing, and sighed mentally. Fuck Lee Donghae and his sunny smile and gorgeous body and the fact that, even sober, Kibum still kind of wanted to lick him all over.
